Just one piercing in each ear; no tattoos.

Two dates in one night. I did that once, but it was more tha awkward... I loved SF but I haven't been there this century.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit San Francisco! Maybe I'll get there someday. I laughed out loud when I read about the two dates in one night. I don't think I ever had two in one night but I do remember having a date with one person on Friday night and another on Saturday night. The current generations don't do it that way anymore.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine liver and beets together. Yuck. I don't like either one separately, either.
