        i'm a lot better now!  And we've been having way too much fun - at the expense of not getting any work done on my 'self portrait', but i'm hoping for some time for that later this afternoon.

        Himself took me out on Friday night, to watch Him perform in a play.  He was the lead and it was a combo serious/funny type story.  i loved it!  i always find it fascinating how He can slip so easily into being another person, yet a lot of His day-to-day mannerisms remain the same.  

        Saturday found us up and out the door really early.  We took the old car to my daughter - who got off work last night, came home long enough to get the key from her father, and then blasted off into the night.  i fear now that she has her own wheels, they are never going to see her.  When i last spoke with her, she was squealing into my ear about how happy she was and how much she loved that car!

         i also met up with N and we did a swap - one painting for a pair of black pearl earrings.  And as a bonus, a pair of jade earrings!  i love both - and she's happy with the painting - so we both win.  *g*

(here's the painting she wanted)

       From there, we were picked up by j & E, and they took us to a favourite meat store of theirs.  Excellent buys!  Our freezer is nicely full now.  Then we were off to their house to have dinner (they wanted Himself to do some cooking magic) and some nice visiting time.  

       Which evolved into drinking a whole bunch of wine and all of us (another friend joined us as well) landing in the hot tub after dinner.  Yee hah!  

       It took a bit of convincing for me to get in.  The whole negative body image thing as per usual kicked in, and i found myself standing beside the tub watching the other four have a great time.  i also knew Himself was running on liquid bravado as well however - He never gets naked either.  And there He was - naked as the day He was born.  Surprised the heck out of me. 

       After much cajoling (and more wine) j convinced me to strip down and get in.  'Course first she had to give me a robe to wear out of the house, and then had to turn off the lights on the deck.  Which in reality hid nothing because there was plenty of light from the surrounding neighbourhood and unlike Himself, my painfully white skin practically glows in the dark - but having them off made me feel better anyway.  

       i had a blast.  It felt wonderful to be immersed in the hot water.  And having a few body parts available to grab was a real hoot!  Said body parts responded quite nicely as well.  *s*

       Eventually it was just Himself and i alone in the tub - errr.. and making good use of it.  After a bit we went back inside and ended up chatting at the breakfast bar in the kitchen.  i sat on the floor at His feet, very contented.  We all got tired pretty quickly though and settled into our rooms for the night.  i thought Himself would crash pretty quickly, but not so!  He was ready for round two.  And then this morning, round three!  

       Needless to say, i am a very well fed, well wined and companied, and VERY well sated lady this morning.  

       Yum.
