The Dog Days of Winter?

A quick story about how random I am. It is a date story and not nearly as strange as Jilian's, that was just weird. So last night was a short 4 months that Erin and I have been dating. I like making a deal out of dates and know that Erin would be just as happy with me saying happy 4 months and giving her a hug. But I am creative sometimes and my creativity comes out in strange ways. Case and Point -> Last Night.

I'm not sure what to call it, but dog night sounds good. I show up at Erin's place around 6:45 after locking my keys in the building at work and stopping by Kroger to pick a few things up. The Kroger stop took a while because I do not know where anything is at the Kroger next to my work. I shop and head up to her place. Upon arriving I start putting together what becomes a spaghetti and Meatball dinner. The meatballs were homemade (garlic, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, seasonings) and were really good. I then gave her a card with nothing but a puppy on the front. After a candle-lit dinner where I first played "On Top of Spaghetti, All Covered with Cheese..." and other classical tunes we headed out. Out to a local pet store. This was no ordinary pet store, but one that was part aquarium (a little yellow fish took a liking to Erin) and part zoo. There were lemurs, a monkey, a parrot, mice, snakes and of course puppies (one looked like Chewbacca!).

After looking at animals, especially puppies we returned home to watch a DVD. You mix Spaghetti & Meatballs with Dogs and you get...


"Lady and the Tramp" that classic Disney film from 1955. So we feasted on Chocolates, sipped a dessert wine from Chateau Morisette and watched Lady and the Tramp eat Spaghetti & Meatballs. It was a good night.

How my mind works, I will never know...

Have a good weekend, I'll be in D.C.
