Ottoman_2

One day I’d like to open a store that sells nothing but ottomans. I’d call it The Footstool Empire. Then when people come in and say, "How come you didn’t call it The Ottoman Empire?" I’ll say, "Oh, yeah. That would have been a much better name."

    Upcoming nuptials? Is that what I heard from that blabbermouth Rebecky? I guess this explains what you have been doing instead of blogging. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

    Say no more. No, wait, do. What?

    I have an idea. Instead of paying typepad to maintain a blog for me every month, I will just use the comments of your blog to be my blog. I could be like those small birds that clean the crocodiles teeth, but less cute.

    I’m glad the last commenter’s comment was posted three times, because the third time I read it, I got it. Hey, it’s early.

    I had to read it three times to understand it too. What is happening to me?

    More like six times for me, only after Minty and Adda’s encouragement. And to think that I consider myself liberally educated…
