For 3 days I spent an enormous amount of company time (stealing in God's eyes) searching for a Christmas gift for the prince I mentioned in one of my previous entries. Do you guys know how hard it is to come up with an idea for princes that you barely know and within a budget of zilch? I was on a mission and asked a male friend for ideas. That was probably my first mistake because in all his maleness he said to ask leading questions to find out information. So I knew he smoked cigars because of a picture I had seen. Of course, I know zilch about cigars or brands. So, I, with the most innocent of intentions did just that...made a statement with the intent of finding information on his favorite brand.
In a text, me: "a good cigar and martini"
Him: "would you like to come to my place?"
Me: "ummm....."
Not exactly the way I expected that conversation to go....or any of the conversation thereafter. My conclusion? Never listen to male friends.
I did eventually find out the brand of cigar in a totally different way....by point blank asking. Go figure!
No matter what...find a way to smile...it improves face value...

My grandma used to smoke cigars...and before that a pipe. She worked down the mines. Times were hard. She lived in a box at the bottom of the garden...near the rhubarb.
maybe not.
