  • I know things have been a little quite on the blog for the past few days. Sometimes you just need to take a step back to take care of non-bloggy type things. My kitchen is actually starting to look decent and the piles of laundry that have been glaring at me are starting to dissipate. We’ll kick back into gear in the next few days.

    In the meantime, let’s get going with another giveaway!

      TO MY DREAM VALENTINE: On our first romantic date (Feb. 14) you may pick me up in a Limo. We will drive to the airport and take your private jet to Paris. Together holding hands you will joyfully buy me diamonds, new clothes and a Silver Fox fur stole. Our first kiss will be under the Eifel Tower. We will then stroll along the canal and dine by candlelight under the moon and stars. We will have our first dance to the violin music you have acquired. At the end of the evening we will proceed back home, and I shall give you a good night kiss that will last an eternity. You will ask me for another date for tomorrow. Destination: Tuscany, IT
