The Perfect Man

Shannon was over the other day and we were watching Little House on the Prairie, one of my all time favorite shows. I was telling shan, how wonderful I thought Charles "Pa" Ingles was and how I would like to marry someone like him. Then I thought about what the perfect combination would be for my "dream" man. Now, I know that the possibility of meeting the perfect man is impossible, I took characteristics of my 4 favorite movie\tv rolls men have played and have combined them to create: Sabrina's Perfect Man.

1. Charles "Pa" Ingles (Michael Landon)\Little House on the Prairie: Rugged, hardworking, family man, but a good sense of humor and sweet sensitive side.

2. Lloyd Dobler (John Cusak)\Say Anything: Quirky, goofy, dorky and when he is asked what he is planning on doing for the summer, he says, "Being a really good boyfriend."

3. Bob Rueland (David Duchovny)\Return to Me: Chivalrous, kind, can laugh at himself, very sweet.

4. Guido Orefice (Roberto Benigni)\Life is Beautiful: Silly, Spaztastic, and will do anything to be with the woman he loves. I Love when he greets his wife with "Bon giorno Principessa!"

The Amazing Adventures of Marius The Cat

My cat Marius, is a wanderer. He is 16 and has 9 lives. He was almost eaten by coyotes and he lived to tell about it. Marius has been known to wander off for days, weeks, months... but he always comes back. Saturday he didn't come back, Sunday he still wasn't back. I was a tiny bit worried, but Marius is amazing and always can find his way back. Although this time, something didn't feel right. I decided to stop in at the local humane society to just see if maybe he might be there. I walked through the Lost animals, cute dogs and cats that i felt so bad for, poor things. I wasn't expecting to actually see Marius there, so i was just putzing around saying hello to the animals. Then i walked into the next room, black cat, calico cat, funny looking dog, Marius, white cat... WHAT! I did a total double take. I yelled, Hey that's my cat!!!
There he was, just chillin' in his little cage, not even looking a bit distressed. He looked up at me and I swore he almost said, "I knew you would come for me, no worries." I started crying. Silly cat.

Birthday Night

Last night Cindy and I took Shannon out for her birthday. Shannon chose Red Lobster for her main meal... which is funny, because she doesn't even like seafood. But Red Lobster it was. We also decided to get dressed up for the fun of it. I often wish i lived in a different time like the 40/50/60's when women dressed up EVERY TIME they went out. We have become such a laid back culture that it leads to lazy dressing. Anyway, after dinner I took Cindy and Shannon to one of my favorite places, Psycho Suzi's. The reason i really like that joint is:
a. every type of social group hangs out there
b. they have pickle roll-ups
c. a fab patio
So we shared a Psycho Punch and I did warn them that they go heavy on the rum. When i warn people before hand about anything, i am trying to be very sincere, but people seem to say,
Wow, how come you didn't warn me!
This happens a lot. As if i would make stuff up.
After Psycho Suzi's we decided to go check out St. Petersburg Russian Restaurant. I now live right by there and yet i am always a little hesitant about going. I guess in the past every time St. Petersburg was brought up, people would say, Oh that place. And they aren't saying it in a bad way. Just in a, oh i have had weird experiences there, and it is a little crazy, but instead I'm just going to say, Oh That place. Somewhat similar to when people used to tell me about the Wondrous Punch at the Red Dragon. Oh yeah, That drink. I never understood what they meant until I had, that drink. Yeah it makes you go crazy, as Ahmad would say!
So back to St. Petersburg... we climbed the rather dark stairs to the top of the restaurant and Shannon said, It looks like we are going to a Russian Mafia Wake.
But when we got there, it was pretty mellow. The bartender was very friendly, he gave us our martinis gratis and we loved him for it.
I also got a lovely bowl of borsch. Oh it was so amazing, I'm still thinking about it. Borsch is beet soup in case you were curious... and I love me some beets. I want to go back everyday for just one little cup of borsch to make me smile.
After St. Petersburg we went back to my house and sat outside on the patio late into the night. Laughing and taking random pictures and being complete in friendship and mirth.

Peonies!

My Peonies are in bloom! That alone makes any bad day, a lot better. I didn't have a bad day if you're wondering, I was just thinking how could you be in a bad mood with peonies blooming? Instant mood lifter... Like a Wonder Bra for your soul.
