I like to smoke a cigar once in a while. Even when I was a kid I would break into my father's supply once in a while and smoke one of his stoogies (and pay the price for it afterwards, lol). Cuban cigars are reputed to be the best in the world. But since I live in the U.S. and the government has had a trade embargo with Cuba my entire adult life, I had pretty much given up on ever trying one. Until early Monday morning.

I was looking at online cigar sellers and found that the ones which are based outside the U.S. will sell Cubans and ship them here. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Anyway, I compared prices from a European company with a Canadian based one. The Canadian company has better prices and that is even before figuring shipping cost. So, after a few clicks of my mouse my order was placed. At 11:00 am this morning my doorbell rings and there is a box of geniune Cuban cigars sitting on my doorstep.

Ahhh, I will finally get to see what all the fuss is about.

Happy Valentines Day to all! Hugs and kisses!

I thought this was funny. Then I thought, do we really want to see Ziggy naked?

Super Bowl Sunday has finally arrived. For those who don't know, I'll be pulling for the BEARS. I was confident from early in the season they would be in the Super Bowl. I have to admit, I'm a little nerveous for them as the Colts also have a very good team. But I'm hoping for a blowout Bears victory.

The tie backs arrived today, so now I am completely done.

Aps wanted to know where I got the drapes, here is a link to the web site, [url]http://www.smithandnoble.com/sn/product_main.jsp[/url].

My next project will consist of smoking a cigar while I drink a beer, which will be accomplished very shortly.

One last pic.

I'm almost done with my project. The new mattress arrived Saturday and the drapes came yesterday. I was hoping to be completely done yesterday but the tie backs for the drapes weren't shipped, grrrrr, so I have to improvise for the time being.

For me, the hardest thing to select are drapes. Finding the right color, style, fabric and size in pre-made is difficult. I ordered a set from a major retailer but after I got them they were not the right style and they made the width by putting 2 narrow panels together, which was not mentioned in the product description. So I decided to go with custom made (I am cheap by nature so bringing myself around to spending the extra money for custom made took some time, lol). I love shopping at the custom made company's website though, the choices are endless.

I'm just about finished with my project. I'm done with the painting, the floor is waxed and the room is put back together. All the materials were left over from other projects so I didn't have to buy anything new. Now I just have to make a decision about drapes; ready made v custom made (i.e. cheap v expensive).

My project is going well although it's a pain in the ass. I hope to have some new pics of it soon, but no more "R" rated ones. Those will be reserved for the pics section.

For those whos asked for a pic, here is the work in progress. I'll take some more pics when it's done.

I opened a vid, there is a man, completely nude, laying on his back on the bed. The woman is on her knees, also naked, her elbows are on his legs. Her hands are on his cock and balls and she is very eagerly sucking and licking. Something catches my eye. I pay more attention to his face. His hand comes into view and it moves to his face. He pops a cigar in his mouth and starts smoking.

That must be one good cigar.
