Off to Philly


Friday, November 4, 2011

8:03am Phil
I do not play. I sit at the piano and sing when I can. Always wanted to play guitar.  I have one and hope to learn some day. Listening to KD Lang sing Hallelujah.  Lifts my soul.  Such a pretty song by such a gifted artist.  Saw her this summer and she was amazing. Have a great day!

8:17am
I’m off to Philly today!  Do you read music?  I want to be kd lang when I grow up, minus the sleeping w/ women part. 😉  

10:27am Phil
I do not.  Not to play anything.  I read well enough to sing but that’s something else I would like to learn.  Hope the snow holds off for a bit anyway.  Getting progressively colder though.  About to get fire place fired up. Want it ready for Thanksgiving and pulling the Christmas stuff out too. Here we go. 

12:41pm
If you read music well enough to sing, piano should be easy to learn.  Might look for an iPad tutorial. Don’t know how you avoided piano lessons…. hated them!  But I loved playing the baby grand in the big dark church… seems like you sat there sometimes and sang w/ me.

3:06pm
Just crossed into NY!  Whee!

9:09pm
Made it to Philly! waiting for my pal to show up for a late supper. See my room!  Staying in a gorgeous B&B in a HUGE room right near Rittenhouse Square. Tres French decor. Luuv eet!

Busy weekend for you?  Hope it’s a great one!

Pet birthdays


Year 2 – Week 12
Thursday, November 3
1:06 pm
Gorgeous day – made it to 60 degrees!  How was the event?  Hope your Thursday is going well. 

1:39pm Phil
Had a blast.  Late night but such a rewarding experience. Busy day today, gonna try to get out and see a movie tonight. May have tickets to see the Packers play the Bears at Lambeu Field. Would be awesome.  Gonna freeze my ass off but will be a blast.  Hope your day is good.  Starting to feel the chill here.  Brrrr

1:42pm
Glad it went well.  Let me know how the movie is… I am tempted but hard to tell if it’s good.  How are your pets doing?  Do they have birthdays you celebrate? 

1:48pm Phil
They do have birthdays but I don’t believe we celebrate.  Do spoil them a little at Christmas though. They are doing well.  The youngest is loving the cool weather. At night he sleeps on his back, relishing the cool air.  The other two hate this. They are warm weather animals.  You can always find them tucked in next to the radiator or a heat vent. Wusses. 

1:56pm
I get to have supper with my niece tonight!  Her mom is making pasta ala norcina. 

1:56pm Phil
cool!

1:59pm
Do you play the piano?



Snorkeling

12:39am
Big news!  I’m going to Philadelphia on Friday!  A co-worker and his wife are driving and offered me a ride.  So I don’t have to fly or drive!  I can see my best pal from college.  Woot!  So excited to get away! 

7:50am Phil
Cool! Have a blast! I am going away in a couple weeks.  Always a good time! 

Never been to Cairo. Been to Luxor, Alexandria, and Hurghada. All fabulous. Crisp, windy day today! Perfect! Have a good one.

8:09am
Good morning! Chilly 39 but gorgeous sun on the orange trees in the lot.  Yay autumn!
Don’t you need to pop down to Philly this weekend?  ;o
I remember you last year on your trip – fuzzy and searching for your pants!

8:22am Phil 
LOL, I’ll try not to go there this time. My friend lives there and that happens after spending time at his place.

1:32pm
Awww, what the heck?!  Lost pants once a year is not so bad… 🙂 

I spent the morning working on the holiday party for the office.  The holidays are coming!  Eek! 

2:29pm
Never heard of Hurghada… the beach looks amazing.  I love learning about new places!  Thanks!  Sis did Egypt… amazing photos. 

3:27pm
Headed out to the dentist for the 2nd half of the deep scaling.  I am going to have the cleanest mouth in the world!  Rah. 

6:43pm Phil
Spent about 45 days there during Desert Storm.  Fabulous diving and snorkeling, amazing food and spectacular resorts.  It was all very reasonable as well. It’s one of the top diving destinations in the world.

6:47pm
What sort of food?  Do you scuba?

6:48pm Phil
Seafood mostly. I snorkel.  My ears don’t take the pressure much deeper than 20 feet and I can go that far with a snorkel.

6:49pm
Just had thai for dinner…soup felt good on my poor mouth. 
Still in the office?

6:50pm Phil
Oh yeah, heading to a big event in a few. Be long after midnight before I get home today.

6:52pm
Oh, those events look like such fun! You all decked out?

7:09pm
Have a grand time!


Zombie jokes

8:11 am Phil
Yeah and yeah. Opened some boxes, watched some football. Great Chili party. This is such a cool neighborhood. Thai chili was the best. Needed more heat but was really good. Enjoy the day!
8:42 am
Good morning! Sun 39 and lovely! Have a marvelous Monday!
8:44 am
Busy week?
8:51 am Phil
always! Good month though, couple nice holiday breaks coming up plus a trip.

10:27pm
I forgot to say Happy Halloween!  Hope you had a great one.  

Here are six bad zombie jokes:
Do zombies eat popcorn with their fingers?
No, they eat the fingers separately
What do you call dead cows that come back to life?
Zombeef
What do you call a monster with no neck?
The Lost Neck Monster
What do you do with a green zombie?
Wait until it ripens
What do sea monsters eat for lunch?
Fish and ships
What goes “Ha-ha-ha… THUD!”
A zombie laughing his head off. 


Snowy night

Saturday, October 29, 2011
9:01am Phil
Had the zupa. It was ok. Hopping little place but there are much better places. Was not real Italian.  Seasoning was wrong. Too much time in Little Italy and Italy itself I guess. Glad your evening was fun. Cup of coffee and off to the gym for me.

9:36am
Good morning.  Lazy.  Still in bed. Wishing you were here.  Hope you have a good sweat.  And a great day!

12:39pm
Drinking a Bloody Mary and eating a divine Irish breakfast, thanks to our pal from CT.  


6:32pm
Sis drove home to NY in the snow for her h.s. Reunion! They had supper @ Jack’s. Wish I was there!

9:46pm
It’s snowing! At least a month earlier than usual.  Governor declared a state of emergency.  Luckily, we’re not supposed to be anywhere tonight!   

11:23pm
So where are you? I hope you’re having fun. I wish you were here. So I could put my hands on you. And my mouth on you. And see you smile. And you could put your hands on me…. *sigh* We would light up this snowy night.
11:26 pm
Sweet dreams, kid.

1:23am Phil
Great halloween party – Good food, good drinks, good friends. Fun night.

Anniversary leak

Friday, October 28

8:28am Phil
You doing ok Sass? Hope it’s a better day today.

11:47am
Good morning!  Frickin cold…was 35 when I woke up!  Hope your Friday is sailing along.
  
12:13pm
Sorry to worry you. I’m okay.  Hit a bump on my anniversary.  Thought too much about the idiocy of celebrating with a man who won’t touch me or let me touch him. *sigh  I try not to notice but sometimes…

12:34pm
Sorry to be a downer.  I try not to talk about this.  Not your problem.  Not fun.  Sorry it leaked out.

Thanks for trying to help.  You are so sweet to me!  None of those reasons not to marry you sound bad. 
    
12:50pm Phil
Sorry to hear that. Foolish man in my opinion. Getting cooler here too.  About to have left overs lunch from last night.  Still a ton of food left. Off to a very nice place to celebrate my friend’s birthday this evening.  Halloween party tomorrow night and a chili cook-off Sunday. All good.  Got to find a store that sells ham shanks.  hard to find sometimes but I think I know a place. Hope your day is good.

12:51pm
Wow!  You have so much fun!  I’m at home today.  Stayed up too late watching an amazing baseball game. 
Hope this doesn’t gross you out too much, but my silly brain is stuck on a vision of us standing on a beach, with a minister, you in a flowery shirt, me telling everyone how much I love you.  And living our own lives all day and then you coming home and touching me sometimes… and letting me touch you in the shower.  Or seeing you smile when I do things to make your life easier.  My problem.  Sucking it up, as you say.  But the visions are nice… let me escape for a few minutes here and there when my reality gets too real.

1:01pm
Our pal is coming in from CT to see Hubby’s project, so I’ll be there tonight.  She’ll treat us to brunch tomorrow… hoping for a taste of Bloody Mary and bacon! 

Dig this – a slideshow of interesting Bloody Mary options.  http://www.boston.com/ae/restaurants/gallery/bloodymarys?pg=6

2:58pm
Is this the dinner place?   (URL for restaurant)
3:02pm
Phil: Nice 🙂

3:10pm
What do you order at an Italian place?  The Zuppa de Pesce looks yummy on the seafood side.  Makes me want carbonara…

3:49pm
 ðŸ™‚
Is that sort of what it looks like?  I never get to see it from that angle, of course…

4:57pm Phil
It is.  ðŸ™‚ 
 just had marinated pork kabobs off the grill brushed with flaming hot sauce. Amazing.
Not sure yet. I like the veal, also love liguini and white clam sauce, calamari, hood crusty bread and a hearty red wine. Fabuloso

5:03pm
Wow… pork sounds amazing!  Headed out to the project event.  Enjoy!
P.S.  I love you. 

Five reasons

Year 2 – Week 11

Thursday, October 27, 2011

8:17am
Good morning! 45 rain. Cats very cuddly. Might have to turn on heat.  Have a great Thursday Philip!!
9:02am Phil
Octoberfest! Cool! Nothing like good schnitzel except maybe schweinhaxen cooked in beer. Cold and wet here too. Party tonight and then non stop till Monday. Have a great day. Gonna be in the 30s tonight! Brrrrr

11:09am
I’ve never heard of schweinhaxe… had to google that!  I’ll look for it.  Sounds yummy.  Have you ever made it? 

11:58am
Not that it’s an option, but can you tell me five reasons why I would not want to be your wife?  It seems like a great idea after yesterday and I need something to make me stop thinking that way!  Help a girl out?  Thanks!

11:03pm Phil
Hmmm, 
I am married,
I have an obnoxious work ethic, 
I’m bullheaded,
I am very opinionated,  
I could care less about money, help? 

I have had schweinhaxen many times. Always incredible. Going to make it myself, braised in beer

11:09pm Phil
Bad night?
