And that settles it—I AM the Dowager Countess.
These past two days spent silently waiting for my cell phone to wing its way from Waverly have been absolute heaven, by the way.

A few nights ago I had the pleasure of dining at The Waterfront Restaurant & Tavern in La Crosse, Wisconsin (the interior of which is shown in the photo above). Located beside the Mississippi River, The Waterfront boasts a gorgeous view, a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, and the finest American cuisine I’ve ever had the fortune of experiencing (colossal shrimp, seared scallops, carrot cake—I’m already anticipating what I’ll order next time). My boyfriend had secretly made reservations and planned a special evening for the two of us, and as always, we had a lovely time together, featuring some of our classiest dinner conversation yet:
Kelsey: (jabs ice obnoxiously with straw) So when you… menfolk… get drunk (slurps drink), do you feel it in your crotch first too?
Tim: “Menfolk.” And no. (mouths the word “Worse.”)
Kelsey: (squints) Whaaat?
Tim: Worse.
Kelsey: WORSE? What’s worse than crotch?! Ohhh… (leans forward, whispers loudly) Butt?

Thank you, Timothy, for a perfect evening/road trip/weekend/3.5ish months! I can’t wait for many, many more nights and enchanting exchanges like this. Nor, I’m sure, can the world (or at least anyone within earshot). <3

Happy 100th birthday, Vincent!
p.s. I’m still waiting for your grandson Jody to get me those replacement feet. Think you could have him put a rush on it? I hate to be a whiner, but really… what the hell am I supposed to do with footless eggs?
backinpogform asked: What's your favourite baagel?
The everything bagel. With lots of rich, fluffy Tim Knudsen spread on top. Sprinkle generously with inside jokes, razz-berries (har), and maybe a few god awful puns (for the acid component) and you’ve got yourself a ba(aaaaa)gel worthy of death row on hangin’ day, my friend.
Just kidding. I prefer garden vegetable cream cheese on my everything bagels. But you’re nice, so… maybe.

Kelsey (in response to a picture message sent of my cats taking a nap together): Awww geez! That has to be one of the most adorable pic messages I’ve ever received! Theo’s arms all stretched out & Prue’s face buried in his rump…Priceless! :)
Jenna: I know right? True friendship presents itself when one can unabashedly use the other’s ass for comfort.
Kelsey: Bahahahaha! That’s what I’ve always said! :)
Jenna: It’s my credo. And your ass always brings me great comfort, Sus. I just want you to know that.
Kelsey: Aw. *tear* She’s a fine ass, to be sure, but she’s no rival to the peace, warmth, & solace of the finest ass I’ve had the fortune of knowing. That ass? YOUR ASS <3
Jenna: LMAO. I should transcribe these message to Facebook. Or at least Tumblr.
Kelsey: I was totally thinking the same thing, hahaha. We are fucking fantastic and I love us! AND OUR MAGNIFICENT ASSES. *high five. with asses.*
Jenna: *HIGH ASS* Fuck yeah.
God I love you. And also: my ass misses your ass. <3
I feel you, Tim
Oh, to be ten and crying in the living room under a blanket during that movie again.
Hey backinpogform: remember this weekend when you asked me how many times I could quote The Terminator movies in one day? I don’t know if you noticed, but I gave you a thumbs-up. That was in reference to this more than Terminator 2, but still… I like to think I’m pretty “with it.” For a non-cyborg, I mean.

Consider this me stuffing your basket with one more goody. Happy Easter! Now go bite the head off something.
…I was referring to candy, by the by, but I support decapitation of any kind—especially on Christian holidays—so don’t let me hold you back by any means. Be creative! Zombie Jesus needs brains!
