Domestic Nemesis

Wow, I was going so good on this blog and then who knows what happened? (Well, I do know, I went to Vegas with my buddy for her special birthday, and then it was MY birthday) These pictures sum up one of our evenings. 1. 2.   3. 4.  This one needs a little explaining- if you haven't been to Vegas- Fremont Street has all these people dressed up like famous people or super heros or like that guy... Who was my favorite :) Then it was my birthday! This photo has been in the making for at least a year! Talk about a corn commercial!!! Me and my Auntie! This morning I made this hard boiled egg. The ability to properly take the shell off continues to evade me. I did put the eggs in water, boiled them, turned off the heat. Let them cook, then put them in ice water after like 8 minutes.

How do you know your sweetheart loves you? Imagine 4 Greenbush Bakery doughnuts. (That look like this!) They were purchased to help commemorate your 1 year anniversary. 2 are for the man and 2 are for the woman. Both of you eat one doughnut immediately and you both decide to "save one for later."  One of you, (in this case, the woman) decides after lunch that it is time to just have half of your second doughnut with the plan to save the rest for later. THEN when you get home, you have another fourth . Pretty soon, you're like, "Whatever, there is such a little bit left, I might as well finish it."  Meanwhile....the other doughnut is still in there! Fast forward to the next day. I watch as MD pulls his doughnut out of the bag with amazement and lust. I sigh to myself and say, well, too bad I ate my 2nd one yesterday, I must live with my decisions even if they end in sorrow. BUT THEN in moment of joy and kindness, your love breaks off a piece-a sol...
