I'm Thinking ARBY'S!!

Yesterday, Valentine's Day, was the 22nd anniversary of my marriage to my sweet hubby Kirk. It was amazing! We spent the day together, I made cookies while he tried to sleep off the effects of a graveyard shift. He had made reservations to Ottavios, one of our favorite restaurants. When we arrived we could hardly get through the door, there were SOOOOOO many people. Obviously rookies! We were seated within minutes and started to peruse the special Valentine's Day Menu. Can you believe we choose prime rib and salmon dinners? Hello, some of the best Italian in the county and we go for non-Italian? As part of your meal they had a beautiful appetizer/pasta bar. Pasta salads of every imaginable kind, fresh fruit, large shrimp with cocktail sauce and their famous bread. We tried almost everything and walked back to our table....but wait.....our table was gone!! They had moved our table to make another table larger! Fortunately we were given another table just inches away from the first site.

Everything was so good! We really ate way too much!

Upon arriving home, I went with Bryn to deliver some valentine treats before she went to hang out with her friends.
Now....
Flashback 32 hours and you will find me at Applebee's with my amazing friend Cheryl. She is grinning like the cat who ate the canary....in fact, I have a pic of her that can help you visualize....





Don't hate her because she's beautiful.

Cheryl had arrived for our lunch date with a large sunshiny yellow bag. I asked her what she had and she said it was something for me and Kirk to help us celebrate our anniversary and Valentines. I did have to ask if it was sexual in nature to which she replied..."It depends on how you look at it."

So, a few minutes into lunch she lets me peek inside.




Certainly you have seen the commercial. A guy, sitting on the bed. You hear a woman's voice saying, "Okay honey. But I am only doing this because it's your birthday...." Then out she comes in a full on Arby's uniform carrying a try like what you have seen here.

Needless to say, I laughed so hard throughout lunch and on the way home and even every time I thought about how I would utilize this the next day, that I had a headache. Now that could really put the kibosh on the whole thing!

I am so blessed to have some of the funniest friends on earth! I have no idea what I would do without Cher. She, and hubby Ralph, have been such great friends, and we can obviously talk about ANYTHING!!

As it says on the cups on the tray..."Happiness is just a curly fry away!"
