I took my wife out to dinner. That babygrrl ate like it was her birthday or sumpin’!!!
See if this makes you hungry — Chris had seared scallops wrapped in bacon with a sweet chutney and crispy fried spinach, a salad with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes drizzled with pesto and balsamic vinegar, two biggo cold water Australian rock lobster tails, and a huge baked potato. I had lamb chops with mint jelly, and chocolate cake with a molten center.
Our evening out was really nice, romantic, and we had a chance to talk and touch base. Even though we spend most of our time together, seems like we are always crazy busy doing something or another. I so enjoy Chris’ company when we have time to relax and appreciate one another. Chris is not only my beloved; she is my best friend.
Happy birthday, sweetheart. I love you so…
Earlier in the day, we wrapped holiday presents. Good laaaawd… we wrapped and wrapped and tied bows and stuffed bags and boxes in a fury, with tape and scraps and ribbons falling all over the floor! Then we arranged pretty packages in piles under the tree, stacked other gifts to ship to faraway friends, and made a seperate pile of gifts to deliver to our families when we make our turkey day treks next week. Now all we gotta do is Christmas cards. Scribble, scribble, scribble, lick stamps, and I am DONE. When everyone else is going crazy in December, I’ll be all chilly-chill. 
I have a truck load of stuff to take to my Mom’s. Her house has never had any style whatsoever, and I am going to re-do her living room while she is at work. She really doesn’t have much, and in the scheme of raising four hellions, beauty was never a priority. I have been collecting things for a few months to coordinate, and I think it is going to look really nice. I had my my upholstery guy cover some furniture, and my seamstress made curtains and pillows that match. Got her a really nice beveled mirror and sconces, new lamps, end tables. I am planning to win a bid on Ebay for an antique hall table that I will pick up in Houston on my way to her house. I hope my poor ol’ Mom appreciates my effort and doesn’t change it around until after I leave. LoL
Cheers to everyone, and best wishes for a sweet Thanksgiving to you all.
PS. EDIT AND EYE ROLL - My delicate flower hollered at me from her computer across the room when she read my post, saying I made it sound like she ate more than I did. Well, you know, fat Daddy just had salad and a few diet crackers… LOL Not really. I shared her scallops and also had mozzarella. OK??? Happy now, baby?
