Our British Invasion

Of course it's all in good fun, the "invasion".

That's right...The Boyfriend will be here in about 4 hours now, flying in from the UK, to live with us...so we're doing to logical thing and drinking. We're not going to spend the last few hours of freedom writing. We wrote last night about how we all feel. 

Well, Frank did, on all our behalf...

We're nervous. 

We're angry. 

We're scared. 

We're indifferent.

We're excited.

We're apprehensive.

We're in love (well, some of us)...

...he's going to be LIVING with us.

In the immortal words of Carrie Bradshaw..."I can't help but think"...what the fuck were we thinking. (sorry, yes, we did it...a Sex in the City reference...)

Okay. Time to go breath into a paper bag.

Meanwhile....here's a crap load of the better stuff from our blog (there are 345 entries here now, as of this posting). You can play catch up, get to know us...or don't...what the fuck do we care? It's a free country (well, the ones we like to live in are).

Now where are those paper bags?! Oh, look! A bottle of wine!  *gulp*

This is pretty much the story of our lives...get to know "why" we are...

Some of our writing on this blog we like to promote (consider them highlights), these are those entries since mid-January 2011. There are bits of writing in this blog that we do not actually promote due to embarrassment over things that some have written - they are here for our own tracking - they are angry, mean, scary things. If you feel like it you can find them on your own (they are in the What We've Been Up To over on the left). Here are the highlights of what we have written so far this year. There are some repeated under different subjects because some blog entries deal with more than one subject matter.
