TIVO's up right now (as of this post). Just wanted you all to know.
So tonight I did 4ish loads of laundry (so I'd have clean clothes again) and ate dinner with the fam at the Melting Pot -- possible the best restraunt in Portland. We spent two and a half hours there, had three courses, and it was heaven. Start off with cheese fondue -- one pot swiss, one pot chedder -- with bread and veggies and apple to dip. Then salads. Then the main course -- one pot of oil with two kinds of batter and one pot of wine/oil mix with shrooms and garlic and things in it for flavoring -- complete with steak and chicken for dipping. The the coup d'etat: one pot of dark chocolate/white chocolate and one pot of "s'mores" (no idea what this was, but it tasted great) with strawberries, bannanas, graham crackers, pound cake, cheese cake, cherries, brownies, and marshmellows for dipping. They even lit the smores pot on fire for a moment...it was pretty.
All in all, it took over two and a half hours. Yeah, that's the way dinner should be. And a table for five makes for a great send-off dinner.
But then again, come wednesday, all is reunited.
So tomorrow morning I leave for Laguna Beach, California to stay until Easter Monday. One week of paradise, even if the weather sucks. And don't worry, I'm taking the Don.
What else is there of interest...at the moment, my sis is probably going to St. Mary's next year (despite my pressure for JHS). I might talk her out of it over break, though.
I'm an ASM for Footloose, despite thinking I cancelled my request. I'm gonna miss several days though...but I'm guilt free cause I warned Jeff that would happen. *shrug* All the benefits, none of the cost.
Prom is gonna rock...I hope we crash at Ken/Dave's again.
Love is a remarkable thing. To quote another:
"Looks like we made it,
Look how far we've come my baby.
We might have took the long way,
We knew we'd get there someday.
They said, 'I'll bet they'll never make it'
But just look at us holding on,
We're still together, still going strong..."
Yeah. 4 years and days 9 days shy of 7 months to go. But you have no idea what that means. Suffice to say...
"It's everything that I can do right now to not think about you moving further off with every passing second. Every night of this lonely summertime I feel you missing from my heart, a part was ripped out of my soul. Well, I can hardly wait until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin. Well I can hardly wait, until I feel that thrill in my heart that starts inside your eyes. And that song in my head that burns so good on my tounge...yes I will, yeah...You know, all my favorite singers have stolen all of my best lines."
And perhaps one more:
"Sometimes I've been wondering if good times fade away,
and things always turn out this way.
You're one of the many things that make me face the day,
I'm so glad you're here with me.
It's not your fault that you're in pain,
I just can't explain what you mean to me.
Meant what I said,
meant what I did,
it's all for you.
And then I tried to look inside, look in my own head.
I realized something wasn't there.
Then I saw your face staring back at me,
and everything was falling into place.
It's not your fault that you're in pain,
I'm glad things have turned out this way,
I can't explain what you mean to me,
Cause you've always been there for me.
Meant what I said,
meant what I did,
It's all for you.
I'll try and be there for you..."
I'll always be there for you.
Its all Nothing Short of a Miracle. Or so it goes.
Sometime, try and stop to count your blessings. I think you'll find the number larger than you could ever imagine.
Happy spring break, y'all...don't watch too many movies. Sunshine's good for ya. ;D
I love you!
