There are very few evils in the world that can’t be eased by the cuteness of kittens and puppies. And seriously, that is one lean, mean hand turkey.

I am blinking and shaking my head as if I’ve been ‘tetched’ – is Tennessee following me to London? Perhaps it’s the missing you that has caused me to see you out of the corner of my eye everywhere I go.
Kit

Ok look. The Tower of London is not to be missed. The Tate, the LSO, Globe Theatre – they are all great. Lunch with friends at your favorite pub, priceless.

Goofing off, wasting time, fooling around.

Drew and Jen here- waxing philosophical. Ok, maybe more ‘grateful’ than ‘philosophical’, but sometimes I get those two things a little mixed up.
Chocker
Chock full. i.e. ‘Let’s schedule something soon because my schedule is chocker.’

It would be so very easy [for me and/or Drew] to write 2009 off as a hopeless, heartless, insincere pile of dog crap. However, I feel I am forced to consider that I am not the center of the universe, quite contrary to popular belief.
Brekkie
Brekkie=Breakfast, though I have only ever heard it used when speaking to a child.

There are some days a girl wishes she had combat boots and an attitude to match. As if I have ever been that cool in my whole life.

Happy after Halloween, ya’ll! Now put down that fun size Snickers and consider how many minutes you’ll need to spend on the treadmill to work off your next bite… Still hungry?
