Blows me away.

I am a lame ass poster compared to most. That said, I come here everyday and read so many things. Sometimes there is no need to comment.

Hubby and I are going to an Irish pub with a fireplace for dinner tonite. Cozy, good food, near the river and did I mention… A fireplace?

I told him I am not getting fancy, but I am putting some make up on.
