I was kinda thinking about a picnic in the living room. I sorta brought it
up to him today (like I said, he's got to take me to the store, blah blah
blah), but he's all, what about the kittens? We have two 6 month old
kittens. I have NO objection to locking them up for the evening if it means
a romantic occasion!
Wine, beer, whiskey is all allowed. :~) Those are the few carbs we partake
of. (oh hush, Damsel, Jill, Alan B., Pam, Ariane, Karen, etc.)
We just did sausage, cheese, olives last night for dinner (see
alt.binaries.food for pix) but we could do a do-over.
