DH will more than understand. UConn women are doing great again this year. Since your dad lives here now we will plan to get together another time. Tell him maybe we can join him at his place when they are in the Finals this year.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

GC, I don't know if I said it earlier, but that portrait is gorgeous. Your DW did good.
We went out last night for an amazing meal. It was our annual we survived the holidays/ first dateiversary (8 years!) night out. They even had sticky toffee pudding for dessert, which made us both want to be back in the UK.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The portrait is just great, GC. Way to go, DW!
Eight years is a milestone, sj. And memories together, also priceless.

Eight years! Wow! It seems like not too long ago that the two of you first started dating. Congratulations!

Yeppers. Congrats! Now now that I've met TCG, I have an actual picture of both of you in my head.

8 years! Wow, it really does seem so recently that we first heard about TCG. Congrats.
I am confident that you are already jealous that we are hosting Pix and ND for dinner tonight at Casa Holt. Since the weather outside is delightful we are going for a tropical grill variety, the kitchen is filled with wondrous aromas. With the intent not to make anyone suffer added jealously, but to encourage winter visits to Florida, the menu tonight: Tropical couscous salad made with orange juice, cumin, lime, basil, and other stuff; Cuban mojo marinated skewers of chicken tenders and shrimp (separate skewers because ick on mixing chicken and shrimp imo); more skewers of various veggies and fruits; and fried plantains because not quite tropical enough without them.
I do love to cook and do so often, but even I am drooling. Oh, and Bobby made me buy Sangria because he thought my usual wine varieties weren't quite right. Also the lady at Publix was giving out samples and it was tasty and organic and stuff.

Eight years!
I remember that teacup like it was yesterday.

Glam's picture is super cute. And OMG, how 8 years? I feel old now.
I am totally jealous of Pix and ND's dinner with Laura, ESPECIALLY with that menu (and also, that weather...I just walked home from brunch and froze my tuchus off)

Went to home depot to return the tracks that didn't work and buy molding to cover the tracks that are hung. Seems we were only charged a penny for the tracks that didn't work. I was wondering how we left the other day for only $100. Hardly seemed worth returning. Except that it's less clutter in the house. Oh well. Now to hang to molding. Repair wall boards. And paint. I'll paint when it's not so rainy. That way I can open windows and it will dry fast.
