…i’m really an old woman…
(moment of vanity)

November 24 2009

The holidays are definitely upon us when I break out a crochet needle, skeins of wool, and a snifter of Laird’s Apple Brandy (with Marie Brizard Apricot Brandy Liqueur added) on a Monday night.  I have slipper socks to make…and more potent potables to partake of.

**For the information of newbies and people who just don’t know, I am a drink snob.  I don’t classify myself as a lush or alcoholic – I fall asleep well before I can get to the point where I’m just shit-faced – but I do appreciate a GOOD drink.  I have Dudeguy to thank for that since he’s made the pursuit of higher education and understanding of the spirit world a very high priority.  Please refer to this post and scroll down to see what I mean.  And yes, that is all mostly for work.  Mostly. **

Wearing
F21 Cardigan
Vintage shirt (from the swap I mentioned a few posts back)
Refuge jeans

    That sounds like my kind of evening, too! I LOVE a good Brandy, something that is so under appreciated these days.

    Your crocheting face looks just like mine. Slightly spaced out, but happy ;)

    I’ll have to look into that brandy…since I’ve never tried it (brandy), haha.

    And there is NOTHING wrong with being an old woman! (Not that I’m biased. Since I sew, and crochet, and love my kitties, and like to go to bed early.)
