wait. is that a blog post I see?
:-) yay
welcome back
Could be, could be...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew this from your damn BOOK!
You are in trouble now!
You aren't going to come to my dinner table and sing are you? I hate that. :-)
Although if YOU were singing, I might like it.
*imagines scene*
Happy BIRTHDAY, Mr. President...
Oliver Wendell Holmes holds one of my favourite quotes,
"The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but it's echo lasts a great deal longer."
btw. Like the new space :o)
Happy Birthday, Bug!
{{{{{{{{Bug}}}}}}}}
what does ex-naked blogger mean?!
(imagination running wildly...)
and no, I will not be at your dinner table. HAHA
happy birthday my loveliest Bugwit! I hope it was a gorgeous day for you *huuuuuug*
Kat: Thanks! The kiss is more dangerous than the canon. Neither should be placed in the trust of a fool. That's why they call it a blunder-buss.
Lynn: I miss you. Hope all is well. Thanks for the hug.
Tildy: Hmmm...someone wrote something about naked blogging..who was it? Susie! That's who. You can find her through Lynn's blog. Naked blogging is revealing your darkest or most private issues. That turned out to be not so good. Now I'm just going to take my clothes off before I post.
Miz Mez: Thank you, that is so sweet! *Calls from the balcony* "I love you and want to marry you!"
;-)
Happy (belated) birthday Bug! I hope you celebrated in style :).
Thanks, Chicky!
