You've gotta get a lock on your kitchen if you're going to partake in the wonder of marijuana! I try to just eat oranges... or tangerines... loads and loads of them.

But food just tastes better when you're high!

I was reading over the last few posts and got to the bottom and saw no reply button! I panicked and thought they locked our thread for some reason but my browser just likes to sign me out sometimes so everything was fine once I signed back in haha.

Champagne and beer last night for the husbands and my one whole month married anniversary haha. It was wonderful though. We watched Four Christmases, had our champagne and beer and ate our goat cheese and roasted tomato ravioli

I think today will be another run around the house with the pups work out, after I clean some things up. I can't wait for date night tomorrow and for the husband to be on a normal schedule again. I told him I think we picked the wrong time to get married because after the honeymoon it was right to earnings and late nights for him and now all the rest of the holidays, it's just go, go, go. I miss our lazy bum around on the couch & watch a movie or show nights but it should be somewhat back to normal soon

I ordered some lovely decorations for Christmas and while I'll at least wait until after Thanksgiving to put up our trees as soon as the new decor is delivered it's going up! Can't wait. Already have a lovely lit wreath up which just casts a soft glow in our living room =}

Have a fabulous Thursday all :flowerforyou:

Have you had the Chokolate....HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! Rogue Double Chocolate Stout is right up there too!!!
I've been getting more and more into bourbon barrel aged stouts recently...they pack a punch :laugh: I know I'm a nerd :laugh:

I had this amazing Goose Island bourbon stout at Plan B a month or two ago and holy goodness. Could definitely only have one because it's so intense and yes they certainly pack a punch haha.

I think I may be doomed. Weight loss will be getting even more difficult. My state just legalized recreational weed.:bigsmile:

Mine did too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I stopped at the store last night and got some peach fresca...oh. myyyyyyy. I just had one, but it was a stiff one.

Talk to me about stout...would I like it?

Stouts are dark, dark beers that are also usually intense in flavor and most of the time you can't see through them or have more than one haha. They're delicious but it's so much flavor and heaviness that more than one would in my opinion be too much. I definitely think they're worth a try though :drinker:

Awww...sweet. Is it bad that I enjoy it when my husband travels? 26 years of marriage does that to ya perhaps.
0 last night. I'm thinking red wine tonight. Its finally chilly here.

What a lovely night, diana! Even better if the husband is out of town. :bigsmile:

And I don't mean to sound angry but I don't think it's because we're only 9 years in (which only one other couple our age is) that we still feel the way we feel

Kat, I think it's awesome that you guys have been together for 9 years and still feel that way about each other. Sounds like you guys are in it for the long haul and it's refreshing to hear that you know it does take work. Mind you this is coming from a married lady who got married at 19 and 26 years later is still married and still in love. But I agree with Sid too, I enjoy when husband is away, but only because I know he is coming back

Thank you for this I just keep getting the feeling that people think we only feel this way because we're young. I've been through a lot in my 26 years and I know I have something very special with Kyle. Sure we both sometimes take things and each other for granted but for the most part we really try to keep our love as strong as it is. Being a child of divorce is tough, especially when your father wanted a divorce because of you. My relationship with Kyle has not always been easy because not only am I an only child and independent but I've clearly got underlying issues with men because of my father. I always knew it would take work to have a relationship like my Grandparents, who not only gave me a relationship to look up to but also took me in when I was taken away from my mother and gave me the structure I needed. They taught me what it was and meant to be in a loving relationship and as much as I love Kyle's parents, sometimes unless you knew them you would never even know they were married. They never used to say I love you or even hug and now they do Don't get me wrong, I still love my alone time but in my situation where I have said alone time pretty much all the time, I really look forward to seeing Kyle and just spending time together and I completely understand not everyone is able to do that and every relationship is very different, I'm just tired of people saying or implying the only reason we are the way we are is because we're young and have only been together for 9 years when in reality it's because we work hard at our relationship

Again sorry if I came across as angry and sorry for the vent. I just see so many friends and other couples around that don't seem happy anymore and when I think about what my Grandparents had and how they would still have it if my Gramp hadn't passed away, it makes me sad. I think people take things for granted way too much these days :ohwell:

And I'm not sure I've ever asked or said anything but if that's your pup in your picture he/she is absolutely precious My pup-a-lups are my world

Ya, well, ya'll can miss your men because I am about to kick mine in the *kitten*. In fact, he is sleeping on the couch. Not sure, if it's to punish me, but I love having the bed to myself. I never, ever, leave the bed. EVER!!

Thursday, 2 thus far and I might down the third. I am going to bed because I am clearly very crabby and exhausted.

Yup. Diana said it best. No disrespect meant, kat.
I've never been all that affectionate tho...and verrryyyy independent. It doesn't mean I don't love my husband. 26 years (2 living together prior) and I can honestly say he is my best friend. I also never wanted a kid until I met him. He is *the* most amazing father. He also helped nurse my mom through cancer.

But that doesn't mean i don't need him to get the hell outta town every so often so I can miss his *kitten*. Every couple has their own vibe that works for them :glasses:

I love that you're married to your best friend. I know a lot think that's cliche when someone says that but I think it makes a marriage that much stronger. I also know that just because a couple isn't as affectionate as another doesn't mean they don't love each other just as much. My family has just always been very lovey and so that's how Kyle and I am now and I think at least for us that helps. And I'm still on the fence about kids. I never even thought I'd get married and certainly never thought about kids but here I am married and letting in the idea of children. As for the out of town thing I guess with him having earnings 4 times a year on top of traveling I'm just blah to it all when I'm alone so much as it is. I totally agree every couple has their own vibe and every couple does what works for them, I guess I just wish people would stop focusing on my age and rather the fact that now even after 9 years already, marriage does actually feel different to me and that I want to work even harder at my relationship and keep it as lovey as it is right now.

Nisi hope tomorrow is better :ohwell:

Stouts what a magical thing they are. Unlike Kat I can drink them and lots of them. Yes they are filling but oh so complex and satisfying. They came be very high in alcohol or very low...I tend to go with the higher ABV....cause, well, I'm a lush and don't wanna waste my calories on beer that won't get me drunk :laugh:
I love to have one the morning after a night of drinking cause some are like chocolate milk and some are like coffee and they make me feel better :huh:
Amy, you are in Colorado right? Try and seek out some Avery, they have some amazing amazing amazing stouts!!!!!!!!!!!

Kat-I'm with you sister! My husband and I have been together for almost 12yrs (married 5 1/2) and he is my bestie (did I really just type that) AND I hate when he isn't around, its like torture for me! He is going away next week for two nights and a whole week next month. I might go crazy haha!!!

Last night, in honor of National Stout Day, I made my husband take me out. So.....1 flight of beers, 1 13oz chocolate pumpkin (1/2 Rogue Double Chocolate Stout and 1/2 Sam Adams Fat Jack imperial pumpkin...WOW so good) and then we came home and had a Weyerbacher Old Heather!
Tonight, I will take it easy since I am hurting a little today, but wine will probably be had!

Bonfire party I wanna go, that sounds like so much fun ENJOY!!!

Oh and to add, we are both pretty affectionate...him more than me, but we have been told that we make people sick :laugh:
