    Good morning, ladies -

    @Tuula & Michele - That really is the truth - this was given to me by one of my oldest and dearest. This year marks 40 years since our first sleepover!

    @Chrissy - that's my favorite part too. And the plotting - always fun with, as @Robyn put it - WINE!

    @Cindy - thank you for stopping by - will check out your place too.

    @Fly - thank you too - I was just talking about your blog to my hairdresser this morning, ref how my 1 month in France didn't seem enough, and her fiance` used to live in Nice. She said, "How can anyone get tired of living in France?" I told her after about 2o years, I guess it happens - and about your move to Costa Rica. Thank you for sharing your life there as well.

    @Helen - How I love the name Rumtruffle! I will definitely stop by as, how can one not? It sounds like a good time!

    @ADOC Good friends + booze = Love. I think we've all learned something here today. Class dismissed (wait - unless you're sitting in class doing this from your blackberry - you know what I mean.)

    Have to say, keeping up with blogs via phone? Really screws up my auto-correct spell feature because of all the random word verification combos I have to type in. :)

    And um, yeah... had just sat down in class, lol. You called it.

    Hell, I know what you mean - about the spelling, not about the smart phone. I still haven't upgraded my 4-year old slider and refuse to until there's smoke coming out of it or it finally dies. Glad to see you're enjoying the class still.

Waterfalling in Love Friday

Happiest of Fridays my fly, funky, fresh-in-the-flesh blogging peeps. Java's hosting and we're playing. What a nice venue to share a little love poem.  I know, Little Ms. Cyincal-life-is-too-fabulous-to-be-bothered-with-man drama is going to write about love. Hey, people - I'm not made of wood you know.  It happens. Sometimes I get bit in the ass when I'm perfectly happy celebrating being unattached like it's my job fall in love. You happy? Strap in peeps, because it's a steamy one. Here we go.   Eh hem... Waterfalling in Love by that crazy broad at Living out of the Box Valerie Sometimes a drizzle Always the need to let your sweetness rain down on me. Sometimes a deluge Always thoughts of diving into a pool of you. Falling like the water from above The rush of you over me underneath you The promise of your scent still on my fingers, the feel of you sticky on my lips, the taste of you on my tongue… Desire draws me dow...

Where Heaven and Corkscrews Meet

How in the world can it be 29 July 2011 already?  Was it really two years ago today Living Out of the Box was spewed forth into the blogosphere? Were the last two summers really spent prepping for fall and winter adventures in Italy and France? Huh. So how to celebrate this blog-o-versary ... ideas?  Anyone? I'm still in the throes of reflecting fondly on the last week with my two favorite wine-drinking buddies whom I also had not seen in these last two years.  They came from the East (coast) bearing gifts of the bottled variety. I had saved a gifted bottle of 2005 Il Carbonaione for the moment we would all be together again, as D is the true Sangiovese lover of the group.  They were also my first stateside friends to open a bottle of a first release Chianti Classico by that same winemaker, Juri Fiore - a wine made from grapes I'd actually picked during the 2009 Vendemmia (harvest).  You can read about that interesting time in the vineyards here. ...

Will Work for Peeps - Easter Love from Across the Chunnel!

Lo Scoppio del Carro My 2nd Easter in Italy.  Last year I was in Piazza del Duomo trying to see the Scoppio del Carro (explosion of the cart).  I appreciate the tradition but not the crowds - once was enough. This year I'll celebrate quietly on my side of the river.  I hit the markets early yesterday with a strange craving to bite ears off chocolate bunnies but quickly squelched that by succeeding in finding only milk chocolate bunnies.  I settled for a 1/2 kilo of cheese & a bottle of Barbera d'Alba instead and high-tailed home.  Where I'm not leaving today.  So whilst I'm clogging my arteries with Montasio and getting knackered let's see what surprise the Easter Bunny left for you all.   This funny lady has come all the way from Staffordshire, England and was sitting outside with a "Will Work for Peeps" sign has taken time out from editing her book to engage in some non-traditional Easter mischief with me.  In addition to bein...
