Anniversary Day Out.

Needles and I enjoyed a day out and about to celebrate our anniversary since it fell in the middle of the week. We slept late and got ready to leave the house just before noon. We drove down to Princeton to the recently opened Bay Harbor Seafood Restaurant. The interior is sparsity decorated but nice and clean. We were seated and quickly asked what we wanted to drink and if we wanted appetizers. I decided on the crab cakes and we both ordered ice tea. Shortly after the tea arrived we were enjoying the crab cakes with a side of tartar sauce. The cakes were pretty good but not as good as what I had on our trip to the North East. Needles ordered the Bourbon Glazed Salmon and I had the Stuffed Lobster. After a short wait they brought out or meals. The lobster was good and sweet with a little of the salty brininess of the ocean. Needles said her Salmon was good and after we were done walked over to the Showplace for a mid day movie. We decided on Underworld Awakening in 3D. The movie was good but not as good as some of its predecessors. After the show we did a quick run to Walmart for some needed grocery items and then on our way out of town stopped in to Sonic for Cherry Limeade for the road. We arrived home at sundown and now are relaxing a bit before Big Bang Theory comes on and we sip some evening coffee. It's been a good day. Sweetheart, let's do it again in another 15 years.

15 years

Fifteen years ago today Needles and I went on our first date. It seems like only yesterday and yet it seems like I have known her my whole life. We have been through so much. The good times and the not so good times but I wouldn't change a thing. I feel like the best is yet to come. Happy Anniversary Sweetheart.

Do Nothing.

This weekend is the first weekend that we haven't either had company or been company for several weeks. This morning I got to sleep late and when I got up I went straight to the couch. Needles made a nice breakfast and for supper I grilled New York strip steaks with sides of grilled asparagus and potato blend. Saturday is almost in the books and in a few more hours I will be back in bed. This is has been a great, do nothing, day. I have enjoyed it.

Happy New Years.

As you can see it is a new year and with a new year comes a new look to the blog. I finally dumped the old hard HTML code and slipped into the easy template type blog which is a lot easier to edit but less customization. OH Well to cap off 2011, I would have to describe it as an exciting adventure with highs and lows and I am glad it is behind me. Probably the high for the year would be our Alaskan vacation and the low would be the ongoing family drama with sprinklings of mediocrity in between. I am hoping that 2012 will be better. I hope that everyone had a happy and safe ringing in of the new year. 2012 I have faith in you, don't let me down.

PS. I have never been much on new years resolutions but I think I am going to try one this year. I won't make it public so in a way it's kind of an experiment. Maybe a year from now I will look back on this post and think Wow!...and hopefully not thinking "What a waste of time."
