       Remind me again why i thought i should have a career?  Blech.  First it's Monday, after nearly two weeks off - and then it took 2 hours to get to work this morning because of the weather and traffic.  And then the reality of the amount of work piling up kicked in.  Alrighty then.  But hey, i was wearing a nice new suit.

      Himself and i have gone on the skip-wine-at-dinner wagon.  Why is it that something that is so perfect with a good meal, is also bad for you and costs too much?  i haven't a clue how long we are going to do this - we never did establish a time frame, but i suspect it might be awhile.  At least until the weekend when it's time to relax *eg*.  But seriously, i think we've both hit the get-fit-feel-better time of the year.  For me that includes steering clear of all the 'bad' carbs i indulged in over the holidays.  No cookie was safe around me then!

      The only real issue i have about the wine is the fact that it just tastes good and i love having a glass with my dinner.  A nice heavy red goes perfectly with just about everything.  And i feel so adult, as i set the table with wine glasses and candles and cloth napkins.  We sit and dine and sip and chat and it's just wonderful.  What could be more perfect?

      Well somehow it all still worked out nicely tonight.  i still lit the candles and set the table and we actually chatted a lot through the entire meal.  Himself had green tea and i had chamomile.  We did the dishes together.  And i still felt adult. *s*

      What could be more perfect?

      Heh - i think it's snuggle time.
