      Himself decided we should brave the weather last night - and go out for sushi.  Yum!  The little restaurant we went to has absolutely the best sushi and sashimi, and is a place we've been going to for years.  i'm sure the owners wonder about us - we've been in there in full dress up gear (even Himself in His kilt), in full dressed down gear, on various nights of the week, had the day cuffs with us, and even had a spat once (a quiet one though!)  It's just one of those places you can call home. 

      He was going to tailor my food selections around the low-carb thing, but i threw caution to the wind.  There wasn't a chance that i was going to miss out on any of the good tastes!  We had edamame, and tempura, and miso soup* as a starter - then some salmon sashimi, maguro, unagi, salmon skin hand roll, and a few other types of rolls.  And of course, sake.

*NB: i've never tried the miso soup recipe - but it looks interesting.

      It was all very cool to go there again.  And i found myself automatically slipping back into our "routine" of Him ordering what we should eat.  i loved it! Mind you, with a bit of the sake, and a small glass of wine when we returned home, i not only slept like a baby, i'm struggling to wake up now.  

      Weird dreams though.  i think my head is definitely twisted into a play captive space.  i dreamed that we were in some building or house - i think it was more like a house, but had big space and brightness, and missing a wall so that the room spilled out onto a beautiful garden and pond area.  

      i was kneeling, butt resting against my feet and was naked except for a heavy cloth draped around my belly.  Go figure, the aversion i have for my stomach carries into my dreams!  

      Himself was there and had cuffed my hands behind my back, and i was being examined by someone else.  And i wasn't terribly happy about that, but really turned on at the same time.  There were other people milling about, not paying any attention to us, and Himself went off to visit with them, but in my dream His eyes kept watching me.  i started to panic when i saw Him walking away, but then stopped when i understood that He was still right there.

      Hey, it was a dream - are they supposed to make sense?  The guy who was doing the examining was laughing in an evil kind of way - maybe evil is the wrong word - determined is better, and smug, like he was in control.  Which he was.  And then i was being led closer to something and i could feel my insides tensing in anticipation of something ... and then i woke up.

      Damnit!

      It was one of those "nnnnnnoooooooooooo - let me sleep some more i want to find out what happens" moments.  No matter what, you can't fall back asleep, yet 3/4's of you is still in the dream.

      And then reality kicked in and i remembered that i was supposed to get up and practice painting another self portrait 'cause i'm failing miserably at skin tones in art class.  So far i can only paint brown people with any reasonable sort of accuracy - probably because it's a colour shade i can actually see.  

      Maybe i should try my breast colours?
