Interpretation

Val pal just sent me a text message that simply read "I want vodka for dinner."
Show of hands for those thinking she is having a rough one (hand raised.)

Livin it up cottage style

 Val Pal and I live in a quaint little cottage and love every minute of it.  But we find ourselves deleting the word "home" from our everyday vocab.  It is actually quite humorous.  "What are you doing tonight?" someone asks me.  "Hanging out at the cottage, maybe doing some laundry." Sounds a lot better than "nothing- staying at home by myself and washing clothes."  But today I found myself saying the phrase "clean cottage" as opposed to "clean house" I felt slightly like Snow White sans Prince Charming and the 7 dwarfs.  All we have is a giant mastiff who lives in the main house who makes himself at home in our living area.  Cottage living is great- the bills are low, the lighting is good and it seems like vacation all the time.  Funny how just one word makes our living situation seem so much more glamourous.  I bet J-Lo refers to her second home as her cottage all while drinking Perrier in her louboutins.
