I think I have mentioned that I was looking around for some new dinnerware.
I realized that what I have been using was loaded up with painful memories.
("Looking around" hardly describes your obsessive compulsive behavior surrounding said search. Let's be honest. You've been a madwoman!)

I love 'em like chocolate.
They make my heart sing.

The name of the pattern is "Girasole", which means Sunflower in Italian. Now is that serendipitous or what?
Thank you, my children of the north.
I'll think of you every time I use them!
(What are you going to do with all your free time, now that you won't be looking at dishes on the computer all night?)
Looking for some new punctuation.
