A day remembered...

Illya sat at his desk in the office he shared with Napoleon; he was reading a newspaper article, one that brought a heaviness to his heart.

It transported him back in time, to his childhood in Kyiv during the war.

mrua7 posted about her drinking party and I couldn't resist adding Illya to the revelers.
Who needs anyone else?

You Can Still Vote...

I'm leaving this poll open indefinitely so more people can chime in on their choice for a start date.  The topic is the Happy Endings Challenge that will post in mfu_map_room for Het and uncle_du_jour for slash.  The concept is to write an AU sort of story based around a romantic happily ever after scenario for our UNCLE agents.
If you think you might be interested please go HERE and post your preference for when you'd be able to have a story ready.

Tomorrow is my 62nd birthday.

Right now I am a little tipsy as on the way home from giving music lessons today I decided to treat myself to a small thin crust pizza for my birthday which is tomorrow.
I was feeling a little lonely and decided to eat there at the restaurant instead of takeout. (no I'm not drunk on pizza)

While at this little local bar/restaurant, I saw they had cucumber martinis on the drink menu!  A WTF moment...I'm not supposed to have carbs, cheese, tomato products or booze...but I'm allowed to have cucumber...seriously? So I threw caution to the wind for once. I'm so tired of my restricted diet and with my budget, it hasn't been easy sticking to it, not for lack of trying though.

I didn't care. (another) WTF!  You only live once! Four...yes I said four delicious vodka (Illya would be proud) martinis and a small pizza later I am quite tipsy and it feels soooooooo freakin' good! It's been a long time since that's happened!

To my amazement  a couple at the bar paid my tab after they found out I was sort of celebrating my 62nd birthday, alone.  Holy shit.  There is a God and He was looking down on me tonight.

I'm crying a lot right now, though I'm sure it's the vodka...

Sorry Section VII, I was trying to post this in my journal but i don't know what I did, and couldn't fix it. Blame it on the martinis...

I have a special request

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Since tomorrow is my birthday, I'd like to request an impromptu story to commemorate the occsaion.
A lovely story about Illya treating a girl (me) from UNCLE named Marian to something nice for her birthday.  Anyone up to it...I hope?m Take it in whatever direction you like. :D
