The Princess and the Pumpkins

[catelin]

I treated myself today. Amanda came into town and I took the rest of the afternoon off to lunch, gossip, and shop. Best of all, she brought me flowers!!! Red roses, but not any ordinary red...a velvet red laced with a deep sunset color...really beautiful!! : )



We ate Mexican food (pretty much my everyday fare) and then went for a twirl downtown. Took her to one of my favorite places in the world. I bought cinnamon oil, ylang ylang, and rocks for my boys (turquoise, pyrite, and tiger's eye). Then we walked next door and bought a couple of things to support our groovy local Pagans. : ) We went to the park to buy a pumpkin and here we are in our tiaras. Not the best photo, but what can you do? The pumpkin lass was so astounded by a visit from the Tsarina that she did the best she could. Amanda picked out the pumpkin with the best jack-o-lantern potential in the patch. It was a glorious day. I went back to the office and, like Amanda, I wore my sequined tiara all the way home, singing along to the radio happy as a lark.

As my grandfather would have said, "Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady." :D

I had such a lovely time. We must do it again. And wear our tiaras to lunch!

When I come down to visit, I will bring my tiara too...or my sparkly purple devil horns at the very least :)

Fabulous! We could have a Royal afternoon and puzzle the inhabitants of San Marcos.

Yay! Yes, any sparkly headgear is mightily encouraged. : )

Up the ylang ylang

My shampoo has ylang ylang in it, oddly enough. That is all.

Good thing you don't work with me 'cause I'd be sniffing your head all day long!

Cate: *sniff**sniff*
Buscemi: Do you mind???
Cate: Not at all...smells great. ; )

I like her just fine...but she's a headsniffer

It also has "clary sage floral water, lemongrass, comfrey, hops, bilberry, horsetail, burdock, and such naturally found compounds (chuckle) as olefin sulfonate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium myreth, etc. (Do I really want to know what those are? Hmmm... Ironically the brand is "Nature's Gate".) It also has grapefruit seed extract for some reason.

All that and it's "cruelty-free, pH balanced and biodegrable". Not that anyone was asking.

What gave me away?

[buscemi.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm a big ol' geek.

Sniff Sniff

Can smell it on a person just walking by...

It's my favourite!

She could dance that slow Uvalde
Shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she made them trophy buckles shine, shine, shine
Wild-eyed and Mexican silvered,
Trickin' dumb ol' cousin Willard
into thinkin that he's got her this time

It's official...you are the coolest!
