Last night, I drank an entire bottle of wine.
I don’t remember much. I remember laughing a lot. I remember smiling a lot. I remember a beautiful man who I’ve known for years and swoon over spending a lot of time talking to me. I remember waking up in my bed.
What I wish I hadn’t blacked out was the fact that Beautiful Man kissed me. He Kissed Me. In all the years that I’ve been a total teenager about him, I’ve dreamed of what that would be like.
AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN’T REMEMBER IT.
Life is wasted on the drunk…

I purchased this desk from Ikea yesterday. The glass table top is embossed with the word “love” in different languages. I had a girl friend of mine help me put the heavy glass table top onto the wooden trestles I built myself.
My friend is the biggest badass I know. She drives a motorcycle. She’s a musician. She upholsters furniture. Her favorite thing to do is smash things with a sledgehammer. And her life is full of men that she cares little about, except how they perform in the bedroom. She stared at my new romance themed set up and she said, “You are SUCH a chick.”
She’s not wrong. I have a Love Desk. It’s not the only thing Love themed. One of my tattoos says “Amor vincit omnia, Nos cedamus amori.” Guess what it translates to. I’m currently listening to Maxwell singing about how he wants to be with this one girl forever and ever. Hell, everything that sort of flies out of my brain and onto this blog has a tendency to be about love.
Why not? There’s not enough of it in the world, in my humble opinion. Why can’t I cover every inch of my living and working space with a little bit of it?
As I was figuring out how I was going to make this very beautiful desk functional, while keeping as many things off it as possible, my friend watched me and said, “I’m very glad that you and I have such different tastes. I appreciate this desk and I appreciate your taste, but I would never get one like it. But I’m glad you have it and I’m glad it makes you happy.”
And it does!
