The Last Supper, Part 2 - SOLC Day 16

“Anybody want a peanut?”

It’s that thing you didn’t know you absolutely NEEDED until you heard it was a thing. It’s like being a kid at COMICON, except it’s all booze. Twue Wuv in dark, smoky, liquid form.

A Princess Bride themed pop-up bar!!!!

We wanted a nightcap after feasting on Sushi Mike's special rolls (see The Last Supper, Part 1). And with the looming possibility of a total shutdown of bars and restaurants, we knew there was only one place to go.

The Sixth - a cocktail bar in Chicago - had a monthlong Princess Bride theme. 
"I'm not a witch! I'm your wife!"

Now, let me break it down so you can comprehend how big this was for me:
  • I married a Wesley (his name was not the reason I married him, but it is a perk).
  • I used an excerpt from the book in my WEDDING VOWS.
  • My thirtieth birthday is on Friday, and what more appropriate way to celebrate than by drinking out of a goddam GOBLET!


"He's only mostly dead."

I'm so grateful that my husband urged me to go out for this date night. For about two and a half hours, my anxiety melted away like Iocane powder dissolving into wine. Thank you Wesley, my true love!

Okay, I have to add one more pic:

    Glad you got to have a perfect date night to enjoy with your husband to get a break from the anxiety we all are experienced.

    OM Goodness, this is certainly a story of taking advantage of an opportunity - before all establishments for eating and drinking close! I wanted to go out last weekend, but was a bit scared. NOW, I wish I had gone....

On raising a loud daughter - SOLC Day 6

When I was little, I was a good girl in school and at home. They taught me  to sit still and be quiet. They taught me that girls are nice, not bossy. Now, at thirty, I am finding my voice. The one that "pushes back." Now, I have a little girl. And when she lies down because she is not ready to leave the park, I find myself loving her voice.

SOLC Day 1

So, last weekend I went to a Pamper Party. A Pamper Party is when your friend, who decided to become a Mary Kay consultant, invites people over to drink wine and buy things. The morning of the Pamper Party, I said to my husband, "I will not buy ANYTHING." The afternoon of the Pamper Party, I said to my mother and sister over FaceTime, "I will not buy ANYTHING." I'm sure you can see where this is going. 7:30PM rolls around. My toddler daughter is asleep in her crib bathed in the soft glow of her nightlight and the steady sound of her white noise machine. My husband is sprawled on the couch, bathed in the blue lights of the television and his laptop, both of which are tuned into different sporting events. I am walking downstairs to my friend's unit.  I am the second to arrive. The wine is being opened. Introductions are made. When the fourth and final mother (we are all mothers) arrives, we go down to the basement. Let the pampering begin. We are ...

The Last Supper, Part 1 - SOLC Day 15

Last night, my husband and I went out for a date. I know, we’re meant to be socially distancing. But we needed a last hurrah as a couple before we began our isolation with a toddler in a tiny condo. Thank GOD we went on a date! It turned out to be a dream come true! Our night began at a neighborhood sushi joint, small, BYOB. We went because it’s BYOB and we’re poor, but what we realized is that it is a neighborhood destination that we somehow didn’t know about(?!?!). The reason why it’s a destination is Sushi Mike. Sushi Mike is the Japanese-American sushi version of the character who plays the mafia boss’ favorite chef. He is PURE GOLD. His laughter - a shocking cackle- cuts through the sound of chatter and ambient music the way his chef’s knife slices through ahi tuna. Left and right, customers ask their servers to send over a glass of wine for Sushi Mike. It is well deserved. Sushi Mike’s specialty is making special rolls for his guests. Servers ask about allergies and spic...
