It lost my last post (I think)… ::sulking:: Guess what? I have a big watermelon that I got at the store today, and I just cut a big chunk off the end and ate it…mmmm (thinking of you the whole time ;)) Of course, now I’ve managed to get watermelon juice on my face all over again… ::sticky kiss:: ---

Awww, don’t sulk, sweetie. :💏: More stuff that reminds me of you: strawberries, kiwi fruit, Cool Whip, my webmail account(s), and bunnies. Happy, fluffy ones. 😃 ::sigh:: So you’ve gone and stickied yourself up again, huh? Well, I’ll have to clean you up. ::sticky kisses:: [sub]1900! ---

Well, I certainly can’t continue to sulk if you’re going to kiss me 😉 ::trying to sulk a little more in hopes of obtaining another kiss:: ::giving up, taking intiative, and kissing Audrey:: As for me, I can’t look at fruit the same way at all (I look at it and immediately receed into happy thoughts of Audrey) 😉 Now then, about this watermelon issue I’m having here… ::kisses with all-natural watermelon flavoring:: [sub] 1902, but I got here fast 🙂 [/sub] ---

A few more flirts before I log off for tonight. 😃 Mmmmm, real watermelon! Feed me some, would you please? I haven’t had watermelon in ages. More kisses? Why, sure! :💏: Good night, sweetie. [sub]1915 ---

I slept very well, thank you. I had to go to school again today, but only for a couple hours. Leave the seeds in, sweetie! :💏: I taste like watermelon? I thought that was you! I guess since we’re both covered with watermelon juice, it’s a moot point. 😃 Oh well, better clean up that juice before it dries. :💏: How’s everything up there? [sub] 1934! [/sub] ---

Hey cutie, fancy meeting you here 😉 I went swimming in a glacial lake today…it was fun (also cold)! Hey, do you think we could get some plants in here? There must be some kind of plant that can survive in extended periods of darkness 😉 :💏: Oh, do you like raspberries? I have about a pint in the cooler… [sub] 1940 [/sub] ---

Hi sweetie! ::good afternoon kiss:: Swimming? Neat! Big lake or small? Is it near your cabin? That must be so relaxing… depending, of course, on how cold the water is… 😃 Hmm, shade-tolerant plants… I have my cute litte ficus tree in a pot in the living room. I’ll go get it. :: opens door and runs out of booth:: Eeeeeee! Bright light! Bright light! ::finds ficus plant, runs back into booth and slams door shut:: There we go. See? Ain’t it cute? :💏: Can you believe it? I’ve never had raspberries before either. (It’s hard to find decent berry-type fruit over here.) I’ll give 'em a try. Oh, wait, you’ll have to feed me, so they’ll taste even better. 😃 [sub] 1942 [/sub] ---

::happy kisses:: It is actually a ways off; we were going to go down to Tahoe proper, but couldn’t find a trail where we were, so rather thhan driving to the next place where the road was down by the lake, we went up into the hills. It was pretty durn cold in the shade…though in the sun it was a bit warmer. I tell ya, though, it’s really tiring to swim in cold water at high altitudes; a mere 50 ft swim left me exhausted and winded… …ooh, I like ficus trees; though the peverse loss of all foliage due to emotional problems can be problematic…but very cute…though I’d expect someone as fabulously cute as you to have cute plants 🙂 :💏: ::pressing raspberry to Audrey’s lips:: Yummy, huh? Very good with cereal…or ice cream…or, well, just about anything 😉 [sub] 1949 [/sub] ---

::raspberry kisses:: Is Tahoe as pretty as I remember? ::sigh:: I must spend another winter up there… Are you still cold, sweetie? I’d be happy to help you warm up…😉 My ficus doesn’t lose foliage at all. My guess is he’s either an emotionally well-adjusted little tree, or the climate here is nice and steady. > [@](#): > > though I’d expect someone as fabulously cute as you to have cute plants 🙂 :😊: Awww…thanks, sweetie! :💏: Mmmm, good raspberries! I’ve had blueberries, and they were good… but these are delicious. [sub] 1957! [/sub] ---

Hmmm, perhaps your ficus tree has simply come to terms with its lot in life as a ficus tree, and moved on… 🙂 Aww, you’re doing that cute blushing thing again; it just makes you look even cuter, and well…round and round we go 🙂 ::kiss just because you look so cute blushing:: Though it does seem to be rather cold around here in general; I would love for you to “warm me up” 😉 [sub] 1968 [/sub] ---

I think my little ficus is just happy to be free of Home Depot. 🙂 I honestly have never blushed so much in my life. All that blood rushing to my head is making me dizzy! Man, oh man, I need those brain cells! I start teaching next week! ::hug:: ::warms Myrr up:: Oh, your hands are still cold. Let me hold them for ya. 😃 ::kisses hands:: [sub] 1974!

Oh boy, you’re back! 😃 I’ve been frittering the time away and bouncing around the forums… …and I think anything would be happy to be free of Home Depot, ficus or otherwise 🙂 ::steadying Audrey:: Carefull dear; we couldn’t have you fainting here… ::despite being warmed up, continues to embrace Audrey:: Ehh, who could blame me on this one 😉 ::kisses:: [sub] 1977.

I’m so sorry, sweetie. I’ve been sorting through the work Dr. Watson gave me. The pile of stuff is about 3 inches thick! I’ll stay home tomorrow to root through it all.
