Five Things, Post #43

[usedtobeljs]

I realize that I haven't posted in a while, so 5 Quick Things:

1) Next Friday, Dec 13 -- Lyle Lovett and Elvis Costello, in an online conversation plus songs. Many of you might remember that these two gentlemen are on my short list of Favorite Artists, and I am positively giddy with excitement.
2) I have no more money in my budget this month/hell-year, but Victoria Beckham just dropped a mini-collection with Reebok, including trainers that I am YEARNING FOR. Do I need them? No. But YEARNING.
3) Miss Adventure has been so very adolescent these past few days, and although we were supposed to go to obedience class this morning, even a 1.5-mile walk beforehand had not taken the edge off her bratty attitude. So we didn't go. Ah well.
4) Have acquired a bottle of Chapel Down classic brut sparkling wine. Am saving it for Crimbo, I think... My upcoming birthday will be celebrated with Perrier-Jouet. (Or should I shift this and drink Chapel Down for my birthday? DECISIONS.)
5) Currently drinking a cold bottle of Topo Chico sparkling water, however, so there we are.

Am contemplating, too, a short mini-fic for my upcoming birthday, but I just don't have any inspiration. Will keep contemplating.

Hugs to all, and a lovely week ahead.

For some reason I’m thinking birthdays should be celebrated with something less old-school than Perrier-Jouet (that just seems like New Year’s Eve to me) but both sound delightful.

Perhaps your possible ficlet might include Fred and Lindsey celebrating (perhaps a birthday) with a Lyle Lovett performance in some way...it seems like the perfect pairing.

And many happy returns! RaIsing a virtual flute in your direction!

Miss Adventure,calm down, silly girl.

The Chapel Down and Perrier-Jouet both sound great!

We’ve been drinking Chapel Down white wine during Lockdown and they are very appreciative of our efforts to keep them going. We had the sparkling with an afternoon tea once and it is delicious. My solution would be to get another bottle and have it for birthday and Christmas :)

Bad Miss Adventure!

Many hugs back.

That event looks like it will be lovely.

I'm drinking water from the Brita pitcher. But it does have ice in it so I'm fancy. I should pick up some Topo Chico when next I brave the supermarket.

Happy end of semester, and super happy birthday a little early!!!!!!!!!!
