Yes, I gave birth to this one. He's excited over the Taco Bell gift card I sent. He is down to his last $3 until payday and was eating bell peppers for lunch.

I'm assuming it's a tequila bottle holder with shot glasses on the leaves. Looks like it's possibly meant to be some type of agave (that's what I was assuming, any ways).

That's what I assumed, too, KoD.

My little moment of happiness is today was my day with the car, and for the first time since March (when I booked and paid for ILR premium, followed shortly thereafter with council tax and annual water rates, and then car insurance for a "new" driver in June), I shopped like money was no object!  I am all caught up (read: ahead) on my budget again, so I don't have to "borrow" from next month's budget to cover this month anymore... without ever interrupting my savings!  And no more visas, so this won't be a thing ever again!

Phew.
9/1/2013 - "fiancée" (marriage) visa issued

Hooray! It's such a wonderful feeling, isn't it?! No more visas! No more fees!

My LMH: Bowling for Soup have announced another tour later this year, and Patent Pending are opening for them. I get to see all my favorite guys! (Including Dave, 'cause he'll be there, too.)

Ok... In hindsight, I can kind of see how that might have looked like a bong.

Let me assure you, I would not be advertising that part of my life on the interwebs.

hahahaha it'd be a lie if I said I didn't initially think it might've been a bong and I was like whaaaat?! and then zoomed it and saw it wasn't actually a bong. Thought it might've just been me so didn't mention it hahahahah
