Crap, among three boards. that was a typo, not a syntax error. I was only thinking of two when I began the prepositional phrase, then decided to count the other one. AMONG!

Making recommendations and finding the perfect wine for the occasion or meal that a customer required was my wife's favorite part of working in a wine store.

Okay, I will say that tasting has been interesting. Though, we haven't tasted any wine yet. I don't know when the next tasting event will be.

Sipping on one of my favorite ipa's. Its Wolaver's IPA (its even organic)
Its just so nice.

Tonight we went out todinner at this little place called Pies and Pints. They make these little "aussie" like pies.. kinda like pot pies.. only better and tastier.

They had some desserts there that would of put me into orbit. But I was good. And only looked at them.

Just don't look at the caloric content of an Aussie pie, RebA!. You'll regret it, especially if you already ate it.

They're not desserts. They're entrees. Meat pies.

That's what you get for using sentence fragments.

Yea, I hate it. It's smaller than the tempo I had. It feels like I'm driving a golf cart and like I'm in a death trap.

wearing a very forced smile

But, I'm very thankful I have it.

Hey, I can joke about anything. That doesn't mean they exist. God, for instance I joke about her all the time, and she doesn't exist.

The chicken one I had was a light flaky crust.. filled with a chicken, potato, carrot, pea and a cream based sauce. It was round and abotu 4 inchs across.

THey had a 3 layer guiness stout cake. It was approx 6-7 inches tall.
They also had a mexican chocolate torte, the top layer was a light and fluffy looking chocolate while the bottom layer was a very dense looking chocolate and more torte like. A cheesecake w/ raspberries, chocolate mousse, and this unnamed chocolate torte that looked so flat and dense, kind of like a chocolate black hole.

There is just something about this place that make's me do it, I have always spoken and written in complete sentences until I came here. I've seldom used ,...... anywhere.

Ok that's a lie I tend to write run on sentences and breaking them up any way I can seems like a good thing.

Yeah, Aussie pies are good stuff. Those desserts sound fatally good, too. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with this Toblerone bar for now, though.

Right!

So, what's going on with you Mr. Genius? Did you ever happen to send my limerick? I'm wondering when I should worry if it got lost in the mail.

I've noticed my tendency to use the elipses much more often, too. I also catch myself not correcting mistakes or sloppily constructing sentences because I don't want to have an intervening post make my confusing, given that I don't often quote the post to which I'm responding. There's a complex sentence for ya.

I'm having trouble composing one that's satisfactorily baudy. I think I've almost got it cracked, though, then I can construct the card. Maybe if I just construct the card first, its blank face will force me to come up with something.

Three-day weekend, no money and no friends. What a lovely life.

Sorry, Z. Go fix yourself a snack. I'd share my candy, but that's a long way to toss it.

I mean in face time, darling. I can't exactly cook you some linguine, serve you some of that Casillero del Diablo Merlot I've been saving for five years, and fill a gap in your cinematic education, now, can I?
