On the first day of Christmas....

I wrote a post I should have written in September.

September 16th...the day my true love turned 34.

I had planned a romantic meal for just the two of us, Pork Barbacoa with nary a kid-friendly cheese quesedilla in sight....but, alas, our kindly babysitter was besieged by Pink-eye.

Pink-eye is not a birthday present I wish to unwrap.

So the kiddies stayed home and crashed the romantic dinner. Thank heavens we have 10 fancy glasses I bought at the dollar store.

And I'll give you 3 guesses what cake he chose....

That's right...Chocolate Lover's Favorite Cake. 

34 candles make a mighty warm and delightful glow....no?

I love you.

I have loved you since I was in high school and you were in head start....even though we hadn't met yet.
