  1. You are SUCH a sweetheart! Thank you for your response .

    1) Bet you CAN ride a century if you put your mind to it!

    2) You can't talk in the morning? Neither can I. I'm demonic if I don't drink at least three cups of tea before I utter a single word *snort*

    3) *bats me eyeslashes* Why, sire! I never knew you found my European self attracttive! ;-)

    4) Number 5 on your list of books is SO cool!

    5) I LOVE The Lion King!

    *HUGS* ;-)

  2. Leigh, I find your pic behind the camera to be very, very sexy. But more than the pic, I fell in love with your attitude from the first time I saw your blog and your descriptions of riding.

    I get my Sachs sometime this summer after a 28 month wait. I'm waiting to do my first century on that mount. :-)

    Nite Owl 100% here. Pure bred. LMAO

    C was just a young pup when the Lion King came out. He was at that age where you watch the same movie a bazillion times. And so we did. My son's youth and that movie are forever linked.

    Hugs and kisses back across the pond sweetie. Oh, and I can't stop listening to Just Like Heaven. :-)

  25. Trace, dear, five hours of sleep a night would kill me. Do you function just fine on that amount of sleep? To feel my best I need seven to eight. Anything less than six and I feel it all day long. That said, have a great day tubey girl by day, mysterious vixen by Thursday night. :-D

  27. Those were fun to read - and to know more about YOU. I hope you and Jack had a good weekend. My Jack on my blog was hijacked along with the rest of my blog, so I've got new digs. I have Jack on a server still so he'll be put back up soon.
