1:24 PM...Twenty-seven days and counting until Amour moves to Duchess Diaries... Well, well, well. Some see The Duchess Diaries as merely a bit of fluff at day's end.

Polo Anyone?…
A little slice of heaven ambles up to sit for a while Saturday afternoon. A picture more resemblant of the South on game day would be hard to find given all the gents in ties, jackets and good shoes.

Let’s Talk Toys Ladies…
Visited the toy store today. Took Contractor girl with me. Good news and bad news. Good news: Now I get it. Bad news: Turns out it's illegal to film in a sex toy shop so you'll have to don your imagination bonnet and follow my lead. I spent a good deal of time in the… Continue reading Let’s Talk Toys Ladies…
A Duchess Is Born…
7:18 PM Today, I gave birth. It was an easier labor than my ten-pound behemoth chickens, but this time my brain hurts instead of my, well, you know.
