 Grocery List is something that regularly happens to me and hubby! Hmm, it could be another definition of irony!

I �m glad Ivy �s irony is still here - it feels like an after-eight-chocolate - something minty but sweet to come home to after a hard day �s work....
Btw, the jokes are great - where do you people get them? (we lack some other people here, too - if Lana joined, for instance, or stexstme, or alien boy, with that seriously cynical approach....but then we should take this up at the cafe - the forum would not stand the amount of humour then...  |

A blog entry I wrote and posted on april/09 about this - sorry, it �s in Portuguese - maybe someone could translate it into English (a good exercise and practice haha...), today I �m busy and lazy...
Defini��es Indefinidas
If someone volunteer will (maybe) find it too sarcastic, ironic, something like that. No wonder, it �s my creation...
Cheers
