Happy Jan 1, Michael. **** (smooched you back-heehee)
I think your resolution is a wonderful one, and were I inclined toward making vows, that would be a great one with which to start.
We were supposed to go to a party last night but---well-this is an embarrassing story to confess---I didn't feel too well and so we rented The Lost World because we have a new Bose Surround Sound system and we're renting things that are LOUD. And then, because I didn't feel like cooking, Dan opened all the things that had come to his office in baskets and microwaved everything in the freezer and pulled out all the stuff from the pantry that no one ever eats. And I, all by myself, ate a tin of sardines, which in retrospect seems pretty stupid since I felt icky to begin with. And yes-it proved to be pretty stupid. Then I ate a drippy pear and some freezer burned pizza bites. And because I had made Janice's infamous (well-it is now) Liptauer Cheese with rye bread for the party we didn't go to, I ate a bunch of that too. Then I lay on the couch moaning and whining and burping til midnight.
Today is Dan's and my 20th anniversary and he had planned to take me to the best steak place in Dallas-lots of bloody rare meat---but I think I still taste sardines, a condition which doesn't lend itself to a sexy, romantic evening. But that's what marriage is all about-right? Sickness and health? Indigestion and whining? |
