I love that you're diving in, Matissta. You inspire me.
ARTICHOKE
O diving deep to heart is quite a dip.

Flann: you are so entirely unforgiving of beets.

Posted by: Justista | January 29, 2012 at 04:54 PM
My guess is that not many in the sassosphere are into vegetables, period.

O vegetables are just not down your ally.

Re: 6:56. Good one, Flann. Definitely.
