Hootie loves to lay in the sun in front of our bedroom windows. I made him a little tent with the curtains and since they are energy saving curtains it turns into a little sun oven for him.

My Valentine
I woke up sick on Valentine’s Day, had a panic attack and spent most of the day trying to force myself to eat. I need to go to the doctor to get to the bottom of the odd symptoms I’ve been having lately. Anyhow, finally I got things under control and we went into town to get some crab legs and a few other goodies. We had them at home and had a nice, quiet evening together. I had a pinup commissioned for The Sweetness and got him subscriptions to a few glass magazines. I was worried most of the day that I ruined Valentine’s Day, but I think everything turned out OK. Luci got her daddy a card since she’s so in love with him. We discussed her running away with him and decided that I was the only one who knows how to fill the food bowl. We agreed that she can have him on leap days. She seemed appeased.

V-Day Plans
The Sweetness and I haven’t figured out yet what we should do for Valentine’s Day. Our options are pretty varied, so here’s a vote for what we should do.

Thanks Pfizer…
We got a bit panicked on Wednesday when the M-I-L called to let me know about the birth control pill recall. Apparently, 1 million packs of pills were recalled because they had 3 weeks of sugar pills and 1 week of active pills (they should be 3 weeks active, 1 sugar) which would cause the pills to be mostly ineffective. I had no idea if my pills were effected, so while I was still on the phone I pulled a cart U-turn and headed for the lady products isle to get a pregnancy test. The Sweetness followed me, confused until I got off the phone with his mom and explained. Poor thing. It turned out my pills are actually made by Watson and not Pfizer, so we were good, but it was nice to take the test and be sure.
The Sweetness’ sister was not so lucky. She’s not pregnant or anything, but her pills were some of the ones included in the recall, so she had to go get new pills that won’t be in for about a week. Not cool at all.
So, Pfizer, you should be more like Watson and make the pills different colors. It’d be a lot easier to see when you screw up. Thanks.

Graham’s Grille
Last night we got dressed up and went to Graham’s Grille to celebrate our anniversary. We started with Calamari and crab cakes. I was really impressed with the tenderness of the calamari, but I wish they’d dress it down a bit. The quality was hidden by the overpowering Chinese 5 Spice batter. We tried to pick it off so we could enjoy the calamari, but it wouldn’t come off. The crab cakes were just OK, I’ve definitely had (and made) better. For the main course, I had a rib-eye steak with veggies and mac n cheese and The Sweetness had lamb sliders with seasoned fries.The steak was among the best I’ve ever had and the lamb sliders and fries were excellent. I also loved the veggies they sent too, it was a combination of Brussels sprouts, green beans and beets. The mac n cheese, however needs work. I can tell it would be amazing if they could figure out a good way to cook it. Currently, they are using a mini cast iron skillet, which could work, but I think it’s being baked too long. The cream had curdled in it and and left chunky bits of cheese and grease mixed in with mostly dry pasta. The pie was awesome. I’m recommending it highly, although you should ask for no tequila sauce if you’re designated driver or don’t drink.
Otherwise, an excellent meal, although a bit pricey, but I’m willing to pay not to clean up after myself. We had a great anniversary and are looking forward to another great year together.
We finshed off with Margarita Key Lime Pie.

Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary to The Sweetness today, it’s only been a year, but it was an amazing year. I can’t remember being so consistently happy for so long before. I am so happy to be with him and feel safe and secure. I am amazed that we don’t get tired of each other, we’re generally together 24/7 unless one of us has an errand or a job to go to (which is rare, since we both do most of our work at home). We’re going out to dinner tonight and maybe walking around the plaza. I will have a report on the restaurant tomorrow, I have high hopes for this one! Thank you Sweetness for an awesome year, everything you do and for everything you’ve given me.

Bad JuJu
I have been on a dry spell with my sweeps. I haven’t won any significant prizes in a little over a month. I’m hoping that this means that I’ve got a big prize coming, but I’m worried this is punishment from the sweepstakes gods for selling my TV. That or I’ve used up all my good luck.
It’s possible that there is a smaller pool of prizes since it’s January, or that I’m doing something wrong. I have had issues between our physical and PO Box, but I don’t think that’s the problem. I’ll just have to stick it out and keep entering and hope for some luck.
No drinking on Mondays
Drinking on MLK Jr Day is a bad idea. Mostly because you have to get up and work the next day. Bleh. We went out to the Motherlode and played pool for a few hours, then went over to RD’s and watched Legion at 3 in the morning. Needless to say, I am dragging ass today. I think I got to bed around 530, no hangover since I was the DD, but the lack of sleep is less than pleasant.
Good Morning, Panic!
Today started off kind of rough. One of our friends got hit by a car while running (he’s ok) and called to let us know that he was going to file a police report and get checked out at the hospital. It sounds like nothing’s broken, but I might be gaining another chiro buddy.
I couldn’t get back to sleep afterwards and promptly started having a lot of anxiety. I’ve been feeling off for the last week and have been worried about it. The most likely explanation: I ran out of vitamins a week or two ago and haven’t gotten more yet. However, my mind twisted my annoyance/frustration/fear into I’m probably pregnant and the baby is messed up. The Sweetness came back in to find me all upset and managed to shut the whole thing off with a few words. It’s one of the great things about him, he’s like an anchor and calms my ass down and makes me feel safe.
