3 years

Hub and I have been married for 3 years as of yesterday. Despite other unpleasantness in world nooz that I am basically trying to ignore for now (it's my coping mechanism, so sue me) I had a great day. I gave him his present- a fancy-ass lead-crystal port wine glass (yeah, they seem to have a different glass for every type of wine) and a bottle of Sandeman Tawny. The anniversary list said that 3rd gifts were traditionally leather, or glass/crystal for modern. We have pretty much all the leather sex-related items we need, and leather clothing is neat-o but really pretty hot for Texas. Which is too bad, because Utilikilt has a leather kilt now that looks good, but meh. It's rather spendy too. Anyway, so he likes port and I seem to get him port at every holiday- this was no exception.

We went out to eat at Piccolo's, which used to be Mama Mia's before they closed due to taxes. I miss their old martini menu, but the dinner was excellent as always (my meal- arrabiata alla penne, if you're curious). Then we went to Dr.Chocolate for tasty dessert. In addition to dipping anything and everything in chocolate, they also do fantastic ice creams, so I had a scoop each of chocolate orange and chocolate mint. No, they didn't really go together but I couldn't make up my mind and I just ate them separately. They were both great. Then home, to try a bit of port in the fancy glass (I drank mine in a big margarita glass with a cactus for a stem) and amazing anniversary boffing. I tried not to think about the %^&@#! war, but it was tough at times; I'm really upset about it but will save it for another entry. I got pretty keyed up, though, as sometimes happens with really good sex, so I watched a really awful vampire movie ('The Forsaken') and read until close to 3am.
