Dinner out in a blizzard...and a funny article

I went out to Stearns & Hill's Bistro in Melrose for supper with his girlfriend Millie. It was sort of a last minute thing that came together yesterday and today. I was kind of out of it (tired I guess...) at supper, socially awkward, unintentionally interrupting etc. Midway through the meal I dropped the fork I was eating with on the floor. I got one from another table after turning down an offer from Millie to get another one for me. Millie was midway through explaining her thoughts about a political issue, I looked down at the floor then back up at Jason and Millie and said "go on" as I smirked and attempted to brush it off. My other bad habit was answering when the waitress asked a question with "I think we're all set" etc. It was a force of habit because when I'm out with Kate we are always on the same page and we'd talk it out beforehand if we weren't, so I can answer for us without concern. I've noticed that I've become more assertive over the past couple years, when I always used to be more passive. I may need to step back again and find some middle ground. Anyway enough of my psychological internal reflection babble.....

My idiosyncrasies aside, I think we all had a good time.

It is snowing at a fairly good quip. The town is really quiet with the exception of snow plows in the distance, and the occasional passing of the Commuter Rail.

And now finally the funny article:

Bush signs off on Clinton pay cut

I suppose I have a strange sense of humor, but I find this bizarre, and it sort of demonstrates everything that is messed up about government. Technically Bush could potentially refuse to sign off on the pay cut and keep Hillary out, wouldn't that be petty. (and funny too!)

YAWN....

I'm seriously waaay too tired lately.
Got home pretty early today, had a doctor's appointment, got some Chinese take out, and then after messing around with face book I pretty much crashed in exhaustion.

I have this new idea that I'm going to accomplish an errand or task on a "to do list" daily. So far it has been a very rewarding resolution of sorts. The past couple days however, I've just felt like I'm up against insurmountable odds.

Well I think I'm just about finished writing this dry, completely uninteresting blog post.

Happy Holidays and such.

Happy food

These master works of art are from the menu at Prince's on Rt. 1. Kate and I went there on Saturday night and had some bruschetta and pizza. It was lovely. Kate's slice is the one pictured on the left. My more minimalist design can be seen on the right.

Aside from that we went shopping on Sunday. And ate at the dandelion green in Burlington. Despite having pricey dinner options, the lunch was pretty reasonable.

Well, here we are another week....

Break comes soon!
