serendipity8389

Beer has totally taken over our lives!  BF just bought a house this week (yay!) and has decided to start home-brewing ASAP.  So pretty much I'm destined to be around beer for the rest of my life.  *sigh*

And the blanket obsession...moreso about keep them orderly and aligned.  I currently have a duvet (and never will ever, ever again) and it's quite possibly the worst decision I've ever made.  However, it's helped me discover that I have OCD and that BF likes to move around a lot at night.  But he's learned to fix them nicely if he wants a happy girlfriend.

@ Button: Wheat/Gluten allergy?  They make gluten-free beer now...

Button5807

I'm allergic to brewers yeast.
