I have a couple of white mats similar to this [link]
reversible, no rubber backing. The people I nannied for a million years ago in NY had ones like this and I liked them so much more than the polyester rubber backed things I grew up with. They are old and stained and I just keep using them. They are GREAT for soaking up water spills also.
Happy anniversary, Sheryl. I hope Mr. S conks out soon so you have a peaceful evening.
Hang in there, Dana.
Happy anniversary, Sheryl!
We have what msbelle has.
I think you get a mulligan on your anniversary, if you want.
I'm being a bad neighbor because it's National Night Out and I'm huddled over my laptop. I did walk through the gathering and let the kids all pet my dog, though, which counts for something.
I also ate too much pasta and want to go to sleeeeep.

This is pretty great. Courtesy of some guy on Metafilter.
I didn't even check if my hood had a national night out going on (the street behind me has a few times) but went to a friend's for dinner and didn't see one on her block.
Oh, shoot, I meant to at least think about going to my town's. Oh well, maybe next year.
I guess we didn't have that here? At least, I didn't hear anything.
