Thanks, Jay!

*guzzles wine*

*holds out glass for a refill*

Ugh, it was a doozy. Absolutely nuts. On the upside, Mr. BF has made it home and the niece luuuurved her b'day pressie. :D

Also upside, my BIL sent me home with a LOT of leftover birthday cake.

- - - Updated - - -

The niece was allowed to choose her own cake. You should not let a new seven-year-old do this. It was insane.

Four-layer chocolate sponge interspersed with choc custard, covered in chocolate and chocolate drizzle. Topped with Oreos, Kit Kats, strawberry slices, and white chocolate spears.

:e2drunk:

Cheers!

I'm now mentally preparing myself for the second ep of The Handmaid's Tale. I might need some RL wine first...

And/or some of that cake.

Good luck. You might need a whole cask, not just a bottle.

Cake is always good.

Cask! Now you're talking. Nothing says class like wine in a box. :)

I actually cook with cask wine. It's really good!

Okay, I'm off to see if I can get a little bit of writing done before my show starts and exhaustion totally shuts down my brain for the day.

There's absolutely nothing at all wrong with cask wine. It's a decent old drop. :)

Good luck with the wordses!

Heh. Yeah, I'm just teasing it with the stigma of the 80s. :) We used to blow up the (empty) inserts and use them as toys in the pool.

These days, some of them are really good quality.

It just still feels kinda wrong drinking wine from a box.

LOL That's a great way to re-purpose the inner on a cask!

You ought to be proud to drink out of a cask. It's an Aussie invention, you know.

I do know. One of our finest.

WiFi. Cochlear implants. Spray-on skin for burns victims. Cask wine.

Boxed wine and chocolate-overload cake? Hell yes!!! *takes next flight to Aus*

One child has been safely deposited at the school. One more to go. Then it's me, the cat, and an empty house. I'd run around naked, singing show tunes, but I'm not quite up to that yet.

Yay for kids being at school and having an empty house!

Uh, yeah, maybe just sit in a chair and sing show tunes. *g*

That is a GREAT idea. Except the singing part. Probably I should only do that in the shower. When no one is around. Quietly.

Well, you said you were going to have an empty house. I would totally sing (more like croak) if I had the house to myself.

Yes, it is hereby decreed that Lillian will take it easy today. No nekkid show-tunes singing crazy-dancing. Entertaining though that may be.

BTW, I have not written a single word. Sigh.

You've written lots of words, BF. They've just been on AW rather than on your story. :)

Fine, I'll be good.

Yeah, what Jay said. You've written lots.

Hmm. Can you manage another 25 posts in the next half hour?
Wait, is that supposed to be hard or something?

(*waits for it)
