Miscellany

Jeepfink has passed Virginia safety and emmissions inspections for another year. The sweet inspector guy asked, "You weren't worried were you?" after my abrupt "Oh thank goodness!" My poor Jeepfink is getting up in years, but inspector guy says his buddy has a similar vintage Jeep which has passed 200k miles and it's still running just fine. I guess mine's barely broken in at 120k.

Hubbyfink was an absolute saint. He not only ran an errand for me, he brought me my music books and renewal paperwork while I waited in line for inspection. He's so good to me; I think I'll keep him.

I finally got ahold of the church lady and will get the fellowship hall key on Friday so that Winter's Welcome Revel can be held indoors. One of my worst fears was coming to fruition, but it has been happily dashed. I shall retrieve decorative gear and signage one of these evenings and snag a site rental check from psalite tomorrow night. The various set-up and clean-up volunteer positions are all filled. At this point, I think all my autocrat Is and Ts are dotted and crossed, respectively.

BPAL reviews!

The Gibbous Moon: (LE 2007: Moonflower, Madonna lily, orris, white ginger, cucumber, hyacinth, and Irish moss.) HYACINTH. Great heaving waves of hyacinth. And since I love hyacinths, I think that's pretty darn awesome. After an hour or so, it turns into a fresh, green scent like the smell of freshly cut flower stems in water. Definitely not a fall or winter perfume -- it's way too soft -- but this will be woooonderful next summer.

Upa Upa: (LE Atomic Luau Lounge 2008: Spiced rum, coconut, pineapple, and vanilla.) I wanted to smell like a fruity umbrella drink during these dark and dank days of late autumn. Unfortunately, the spiced rum slapped me in the face and Hubbyfink actually jumped away from me when I waved my wrist under his nose. This spice HURTS. My wrist may have started itching, but I think that was psychosomatic. Trade pile.
