Do you imbibe alcoholic drinks? I'm fond of Kahlua on the rocks and the occasional sip - sometimes a glass - of wine. It has to be really good wine. One glass is my limit; then I fall asleep. The giant squid drinks mostly wine but now and then he wants a drink. He likes Bloody Marys. So the other night he asked if I'd make him one since I was already in the kitchen trying to convince the mastiff to eat the ickkkk left over broccoli that I had smothered in cheese. The mastiff wasn't buying it.
I pour the vodka into the glass, reach for the tomato juice... no tomato juice but we do have a can of V8. I substituted that. One crummy stalk of celery that looked half dead. Threw that away and checked to see what other green ugly was lying around. Found these teeny tiny little cabbages a.k.a. Brussels sprouts... threw those in, put a smile on my face and gave the drink to my lover.
He thanked me with a smile, buried his nose back into the scintillating book he was reading (some Navy nonsense) and took a GIANT swallow of the bloody Mary. Choked, made a god-awful sound and leaped up from his chair. I made a hasty retreat to the kitchen and got under the table with the mastiff. The rott was in another part of the house doing his usual evening routine - trying to drown one of the cats in the commode.
"SARADORA!" The man can really yell. You'd think he would have been more appreciative of my efforts. Naturally the rott came running... sniffed the bloody Mary and sneezed in it. I stayed in the kitchen with the mastiff.
"You can't spank me," I reminded him, still recuperating from surgery, etc. He muttered something in Italian. I don't think I've ever heard that particular phrase before...
Yes, I'm feeling better. Out of bed several hours a day, might even break down and cook a meal soon. Family is here; tis wonderful to have them with us. Snow on the ground - 22 inches of white stuff. When I woke up this morning and saw all that glorious snow I felt a warm (HOT)presence step up behind me. It said (hissed) words like snow angel, burning butt, and sleeping belly down till Christmas 2020 if I even thought about going out in it.
Truly the man is a baboon butthead!
Of course I thought about it. But having been feeling less than 100% for far too long, I pushed it to the back burner for now. 22 inches would make a really nice deep snow angel. I gave my word to His Holiness that I wouldn't be making snow angels any time this week. (I didn't say anything about next week, however. Just keeping my options open.)
As for the bloody Mary, I won't try to bartender again any time soon. The giant squid settled for a glass of wine; I poured Kahlua all over a pint of French Vanilla ice cream. Delicious.
Noticed that my blog is being hacked regularly. Was told by blogspot folks to delete gadgets and widgets - did that - still hacked occasionally. May have to delete the blog and start a new one at a different url if this keeps up. If I do this I'll have no way of letting you know unless you're on the "announce list" -bottom of index page here and at story website to join if you're interested.
Might not get online before Christmas/New Years. Wishing all of you the joys of the season and a happy, healthy and joyous new year.

Hi Sar! Good to hear you're getting up to tricks again! I am new to your site,only found it about a month ago, and I have read EVERYTHING on it, some more than twice! Raw Act of P ossession being my favourite!
Anyhow, you have far more impressive snow than over here in the UK. 22 inches is serious stuff, I think we've only managed a measly 6 inches, but it's very cold!
Have a very happy Christmas, whisky in one's tea is a good pick me up!
Kindest Regards Sally
Sar, how wonderful to read you again, so happy to hear that you are feeling better.
The fact that you are up to something like your usual impish self is very encouraging.
Do take care of yourself, you are much loved.
You have my email address, please let me if you have to change your URL.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul aka {zealous voyeur)
Kahlua reminds me of Tirimisu cupcakes. YUM. Ice cream makes everything better too. As do warm, gooey brownies.
It is SO good to see you up and at 'em again, babe. You just keep on keepin' on. For once, listen to your man! Pneumonia is a bitch. No joke. We want you healthy and spry again. :o)
