Well Smack me on the Knee and Kiss me on the Nose
So Rabbit and I went to the Melting Pot to celebrate his new job last night. HOMG-INSERT-SPONTANEOUS-HEART-ATTACK-OF-GOODNESS-HERE-RIGHT-NOW-HOMG-HOMG-HOMG!!!!!! When I was in high school, my old boyfriend and I would go there for "extra-special occassions", ie, our 1 year anniversary and his graduating from high school. I haven't been since I was 17, but it was still exactly how I remember. They even fixed up the menu so you can get a 4 course meal as oppose to a 3 course, then purchasing drinks and dessert. Melting Pot is an absolutely amazing fondue restaurant with locations all over the country. We opted for the Big Night Out and by golly was it BIG! Cheese, salad, huge entree, and dessert, plus a wonderful drink to top it all off. We were dressed to the nines, Rabbit in a nice suit that he apparently has kept hidden from me and myself in a velvet and silk strapless that I've had in the closet for a special night like this (ie, lil sees' bat mitzvah dress), topped off with 3 inch heels. Heehee. I tower a bit since he lost 2 inches from the surgery, but I don't care, and he certainly didn't. We toasted the night to good food and even more pretty company.
There was lots of future talks which does make me happier than a clam, but I cannot get too excited just yet. Boy-o's decided that now that he's living with me, he's going to be on me like white on rice about my school work and whatnot. We had an interesting discussion about engagement rings and what the norm is for both his and my religion; I guess in Catholicism they don't do simple gold bands like we do in Judaism (Sis, correct me if I'm wrong on that one, but I thought that's what we do). Either way, though, there will be gold bands involved. And we just might have figured out the time frame we're looking at for the wedding. Granted, we have a few years to go, but hey, you can still plot and come up with fun ideas, right? Especially when you're in agreement on your ideas. Hooray for being in agreement with one another.
We decorated the house and the Christmas tree here at his dad's house today. It's feeling a bit more like the holiday season now; I think they just needed a bit of a push to get things going. I seriously am addicted to this holiday. Call me the biggest sap ever, but this is my season, if you think about it. People sharing, happy with one another, songs of peace and joy, yeppers, it's every Optimist's dream come true. I love it so much. We're supposed to go see lights soon and do the movies on Christmas; I'm still going to sleep in front of the tree Christmas morning whether my love likes it or not. Hot cocoa and pancake Christmas breakfast. I got him some useful gifts that I hope he'll like but for the time being we just have to wait and see. This year's going to be a different sort of Christmas, but I'm willing to work with that. I'm ok with new things; this is probably about as new as I've ever gone, that's for sure. I must love him some if I'm willing to give up spending my favorite holiday with my family to spend it with his.
.... I think I'm going to go sit in front of the tree now. It's so beautiful, and the view from the outside is way cool, too. I've never lived in a house where you can have the tree be seen from the front in the sitting room. It's awesome. And I must put my baby to bed; he's asleep on the couch it seems. Huggles and wishes for now!
