A Night Out

So my amazing boyfriend took me to a dinner at Tastings last night. This was a dinner to end all dinners, I kid you not. This is how it went down:

drinks:
"Flock of Seagulls" mixed drink
bottle of wine
water

appetizers:
some specially-made shrimp that I can't remember the name of
zucchini fries (if you go there, GET THESE)
a salad split between us that had us try 3 different kinds of bleu cheese dressing

entre:
chicken with polenta and vegetables, au jus

desserts:
one cream puff-strawberry thingy which was one of the best desserts EVER, and which Mike actually bought and brought into the restaurant for them to prepare for me
some raspberry, passion fruit, and mango sorbet
some cookies, assorted

Now folks, this was just MY HALF of the meal. I think I sufficiently stretched my stomach, but it was all excellent. I randomly have cravings for those zucchini fries and the strawberry dessert now.

This was a secretly planned (by Mike) meal, after which we went to a secretly planned (by Mike) play at Geva. The play was just...okay. We both had problems with the main actress but it was still a very fun and entertaining night all around.

Oh and we weren't celebrating an anniversary or any holiday.

Jealous yet? :)

Geez, I'm all sorts of jealous! Oh wait, I was there...

For the record, they were "grilled thai shrimp," with a coconut milk reduction for dipping.

My halibut was phenom, and the vailla napoleon was delish. And you're Beautiful.

'Nuff said :-)

Holidays and more holidays

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone...I won't say happy turkey day because people (acchemcatharinedevlin) will get angry and say the day is for vegetarians too. And I don't want to offend anyone. Speaking of being offensive, the comments in my last posting got a little out of control, apparently there is a big disagreement over having responsibilities. Whatever I'm not getting into it, sorry if anyone was offended by the comments. So Thanksgiving came and went. I was looking forward to the time off of work, which was cool for a little while, but now here I am again, working another overnight. I have 3 more this week, so I'll probably post again soon, you lucky people you. For Thanksgiving I went to my grandma's and brought Andrew along. In the 2 days he stayed at my parent's house, he was taught a little bit about playing the piano and ping pong, he learned that the 3 house animals and dust that my mom is not on top of makes my house a deathtrap for hi...

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

Life, The Universe, and Everything

This will be my 500 th blog post, and possibly the most important (in my mind at least) thing I will ever write. About a year ago, I figured out the meaning of life. My meaning of life, that is.  And now, since this is my blog and I can do what I want, I will share it with you. As a disclaimer, I want to say that I grew up very Catholic. I went through the sacraments, 12 years of Catholic school, was an altar server, etc. I also have a Born-Again background due to my father’s side of the family and my mother’s recent conversion. I have since recounted both of these religions in favor of my own personal philosophies. My mother’s feelings on religion are actually a very sore subject with me. I love her with all of my heart, and I hope she is happy with the life she has chosen for herself, but I believe she is making things much more difficult than they could or should be. And maybe that's another reason I wanted to post this.  She won't let me explain to her how I feel...
