Saturday December 21st, 2024 before Dawn

Hello, dear Reader, and welcome (back?) to this obscure American blog, now five minutes until four-AM as I type these words (which bears little if any relevance to whenever this ends up showing as 'published' since I'm given to walking away mid-entry, sometimes for hours). Leaning into being awake so early, coffee is already made. C'est la Vie. 

First things first, today is December twenty-first so here is today's Proverb, straight from the Book of Wisdom:

Proverbs 21 ESV

And, because 'faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God'

☦

This is what is playing on TV right now:

Mr. Vince Everett Ellison is one of the very many people we watch regularly. He's a very intelligent, logical, and virtuous man of God and he's not afraid to bring the truth without kid gloves and without apology: just how I like it. 👍

Well, Terry (hubby) is asleep; apparently so are all of the people other than just one of the two humans here - so Terry and the cat, rabbit, two dogs, and turtle, who all appear to be asleep as well, so I'm the only fool who's up at four o'clock in the morning (as always). But, the bonus is that I'll probably get to witness the miracle of another beautiful and unique sunrise soon. 🌅 

First thing when I got up earlier today, I sprayed myself several times with (newly acquired in a swap from the beautiful Janice) Amouage's Blossom Love EDP; it's both very unique and alluring. Now, this is very likely to vary from person to person, but I get an accord featuring prominent amaretto, cherry blossom, and suede upheld by the velvety depth of vanilla coupled with smoky tonka bean. Yesterday morning, I was far too sick for perfume at first and waited until much later in the day to wear any (which ended up being Pink Sugar, the shower gel first and then some of the EDT). Oh wow, the Blossom Love is like the other Amouage (Love Delight) that was generously given to me by the wonderful site owners of Fragrantica: the more I smell/ wear of it, the more I am loving it (and I've enjoyed this one from the first sniff as well).
(Naturally) leave it to me to fall in love with a house whose fragrances soar to nearly $400USD per 100ml bottle. 😕 But, even as cheap as I am, though, Ampouage fragrances are worth it, 100%, if you can at all pull it off (that is, obtaining them) you definitely should, fellow perfume-lovers.
Here, let's raise a glass to all the perfume-loving peeps:

Well, little Freedom Turtle's latest video from almost two days ago has almost 500 views which is nice! He has a fanbase, it's so cute (but really, who can blame them, he's so perfect and adorable!)
😍💖🐢

Alrightythen! Time for more coffee, a shower, more perfume, more real news, social media, breakfast, the whole nine yards, you know the drill. Thank you for stopping in today! Be blessed, all of you, and please also take care.
