It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.

I sang karaoke last night! In front of people I know and everything!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I had free sushi at lunch

This weekend is going to be kickass, with lots of Buffistas and some rampaging.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm sorry you feel bad, doll.

I had a lovely dinner with M last night at one of our favorite places. They spoil us outrageously there - free glasses of wine, free "in-between" courses, etc. We started out with fresh foccacia, had an amuse-bouche of heirloom tomato soup, went to a fresh heirloom tomato salad that was dressed with julienned bell peppers and a bell pepper-champagne vinagrette. The "in-between" course was duck confit over gnocchi, and I swear, I could have cried when I tasted the duck. So good. Entrees were Alaskan halibut over hen-of-the-woods mushrooms for me, and a rib-eye steak as big as M's head for him. Wine was an Italian white, with M getting a Merlot-Cab Sauv. blend to go with the steak. Dessert was a fromage blanc tart with fresh berries.

I'm still kinda full.

I finally had my yearly review, and it went pretty well. I now get to budget how much money I can blow frivolously on corsets and tiny hats.

They weren't open when you were here, but when you come back? We are so getting stuffed there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds amazing, juliana.

Nice about my week: started to build the house! Footer poured, waiting on water hookup, stem wall coming Monday.

I'm getting a 90 minute massage tonight with my favorite massuese! (I'm pretty sure that will at least be in my Top 5 nice things about this week.)

Also, I got shiny silver sneakers in the mail!!!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Good stuff!

My sinus infection is pretty much cleared up, so have my latest round of chronic foot/ankle/knee problems, and the weather outside is gorgeous.
