      2. Oh, I need to tell you – skip my post on Friday. It’s titled “For Those Who Are Thrones Bereft”. Major spoiler in the way of a meme for anyone who hasn’t seen GOT yet. It’s just a silly post about a lamp anyway..

  9. Okay, so we won’t even discuss how divorce ages you. Even so, I’m going to okay the years I’ve actually been married; but there were about five years in between marriages and I’m not adding those in. A woman’s gotta draw the line somewhere! So 8 plus 22. I guess I’m 30 years old. I can live with that.
