Narcoleptic Squirrel

So, Friday was our anniversary. Yup, I’ve been Mrs. GSeven for five years. Five years ago, right now, I was in sunny Orlando, FL on a honeymoon.
To celebrate, G picked me up from work for diner and a movie. I wore a black dress that I bought for vacation, and only wore once, and I think I look pretty damn hot in. When I tried it on, even my eleven-year-old nephew told me it looked good and I should buy it. Anyhow, that with a hot necklace and bracelet purchased in France and some make-up, and I looked pretty darn good for our date. On my way out of work at least four people stopped me to ask where I was off to and to tell me how nice I looked. Felt pretty darn good. I even decided that it was a good time to bust out the new brocade purse I’d been saving.
G arrived all spiffed up. He had on an irridescenty blue/purple shirt and a sparkly violet tie and his nice dress coat. (no Columbia jacket…it was indeed a special occasion)
We had a reservation at Maggiano’s at Southdale. We started off with calamari, and ordered a bottle of Reisling. While we waited for our food, he gave me an adorable car…it had an orange marmalade kitty on the front, does this guy know me or what??? He had linguine with pesto and chicken and pine nuts, and I had gnocchi (which I’d been craving since my last day in Rome). We finished off with Tiramisu. When I was giving options on cutting the tiramisu, talking with my hands as I am wont to do…
…I knocked over my half-full glass of wine. Right onto my brand-new-still-open-from-digging-out-my-id-for-the-waiter purse. I sopped it up, and laughed. Really, what else could I do? At least it was white wine…and my purse now smells like it’s been on a binge.
After our fantabluous dinner, we went to the Southdale AMC to catch The Last Kiss. Now that little trailer seems like it would be a good flick. And we love Zach Braff. Even though I read a bad review of it, I really thought it might still be a good flick. Well, I was wrong. So very wrong. I actually wanted to walk out at least twice. Yes, walk out of a movie I paid to see. I would review it myself, but I just found a review that sums it up so much better than I ever could.
Here it is.
At least I got to nuzz with my sweetie while I watched it. It also made me appreciate him for not being one fo the people in the movie…so I guess there’s something.
After that, I was so tired, I fell asleep in the car on the way home.
It was a very nice date…I love you, G.

So, G calls me to let me know he is on his way home from job #2, and that he has a stop to make, but that he has a present for me. I clarify to make sure it’s a good present. (No need to get over excited, just in case it’s a bronze cast of our cat’s poo or something.)
I patiently wait for him to come home.
He arrives and has his hands behind his back. He tells me to pick, and I point a finger at each hand. After a few tries of this, he asks me to pick a letter. I pick “m.” He holds out the hand holding the closest thing to m….
….Goldfrapp Supernature! It’s even the super fancypants edition, with bonus DVD!! It’s mainly to listen to on the plane. (He asked if we should make an ipod investment for the trip, but honestly, I am fine with my discman and some choice CDs.) However, it is getting broken in tonight in my alarm clock CD player…I think I will even wake up to some Goldfrapp tomorrow!
Of course, I am greedy, so I made him give over the other hand. It contained Gilmore Girls season five. Hurrah! Now I can get caught up. Then I can watch the existing five DVD-captured seasons over again. (For the record, I totally know that Stars Hollow doesn’t really exist, and that Lorelei and Rory aren’t real people they are just characters, and I have never tried to go to Stars Hollow. Never.)
Oh, and it was explained that he exchanged the DDR pad he had previously purchased for said pressies. He bought it, and went in search of a game. However, he was able to get a game with two pads on eBay for less than either the game or pad retailed for. The pads aren’t as fancypants…but they are just fine. We just DDRed together for about an hour. (which burned 150-175 calories, and worked my calves) It has a workout mode which is pretty sweet, but only one person can do that at a time. Counting this, I’ve worked out four days in a row. While not great, I’ve also been eating healthier. I should have a good stockpile of negative calories for all the wine and cheese I’ll be having on the trip. (Just let me keep on believing that it works that way)
Oh, my point?
I have the best sweetie ever.
