The Bow Belle

LOL, I went through quite the song and dance to get this bow , but I'd happily shop at that Etsy shop again.  Etsy shop is BowtifulDreamer . Pretzels often go well with beer, so the beer earrings are also making a comeback. The last time I drank beer it made me violently ill (I solemnly swear on a stack of Bibles that I only drank one), so I won't be downing any booze anytime soon.  That headache was awful; my temples pounded like my brain was going to come out.  Then came the nausea, which built and built until I threw up EVERYTHING I'd eaten that day.  The headache subsided...then came back...then subsided...then came back...until I finally said "Forget it" and hit the sack way earlier than I usually do on a Saturday night.  Sleep did a world of good, but I won't be drinking beer for a long time. Pretzels, on the other hand...well, soft pretzels and Snyder's of Hanover pretzel bits are my vice.  Cheese-flavored, mustard-flavored, Buffalo-flavored, brown ...

I love me a big soft pretzel, and I also like the various flavors of Snyder's of Hanover pretzel bits.  I particularly like the buffalo-flavored ones, but those don't always like me, LOL.  But yeah, it's a good day to celebrate.  Oh yes, and this, from BowtifulDreamer . Joining the pretzel bow are the beer earrings, because who doesn't love beer and pretzels? Okay, not everyone loves beer, and not everyone loves pretzels, but to me they're a pretty good match.  Kinda like Coke and Oreos, LOL.  Oh, pretzels and I go back a long way, and one particular type of pretzel has a darkly humorous and revolting story behind it.  If you puke easily, skip to the next paragraph, please.  That said, I spent the evening of October 21th, 2007 parked in front of the TV, watching VH1 Classic and stuffing my gullet with Rold Gold-brand mustard-flavored pretzels.  Five hours later I woke up in excruciating pain and ended up in the emergency room with a kidney stone....

For me it's not officially spring until I see a butterfly.  I saw my first one about a week before the last wave of tornadoes came through, so it's been spring for me exactly that long.  But I'm only now trotting out the bow. Mama says that this is one of her favorite JoJo bows.  Usually I'm not a big fan of pastels...awww, who am I kidding?  I love pastels, though I don't love how pink gets forced down the throats of little girls.  Pink IS a nice color, but so are lots of other colors.  Now that I think of it...are these pastel butterflies, or are they more neon???  Maybe a little bit of both???  That green is pretty bright, after all, but it's also pretty light.  As I said above my feelings for pastels are a little complicated, I've always loved neon-colored anything.  Indeed, once FailBook had a slot on its profile layout for an individual's favorite colors, and the ones I listed were acid green, neon blue, hot pink, and oddly, black...
