Sooo....
Last night I zoomed outta here at 430 cuz MyLuc said his reservations were for 6. It takes me an hour to get home so I was a little panicked. I made it by 545 and MyLuc said...no the reservations are for 7. *sigh* We had time to fill up my little Ipod Nano. After filling out all the computer id stuff we proceeded to download and then had an option for the Itunes to pick Melissa's Tunes. We chose it to see what it'd do. It was really cool and weird. All of the Elvis songs got picked (and you know I love Elvis) and the Corrs and Kenny Wayne Sheppard. I wasn't too keen on the Weird Al but what can you do.
We went to the Bavarian Haas for dinner. Very cozy homey atmosphere with the most amazing selection of schnitzel (breaded flattened pork) that I have ever seen. I ordered a 1/2 ltr of Witzen something. It rocked. Even MyLuc had some and then a pint of Weisen something. MyLuc started with onion soup and said try something new - so I had scallops, shrimp, cheese and mashed potato baked in a small dish. It was interesting. For dinner I had schnitzel stuffed with black forest ham and swiss cheese, topped with sauteed mushrooms and bearnaise sauce. MyLuc had schnitzel topped with asparagus, crab meat and bearnaise sauce. It smelled awesome and the portion was huge. Neither of us finished but we had room for dessert. We shared a caramel creme brulee and actually left a smallish portion. See MyLuc has this thing about always taking the "last" thing. So I left this for him. He didn't want it and neither did I. Weird people aren't we.
Walking home was awesome. We worked off our dinner to sit on our butts and watch an episode of Killer Minds. I love Mandy Patinkin. He rocks!
This morning I loaded up my fully charged and song filled Ipod Nano and off to work I went. It is too cool. It's so light that I'm not feeling like I'm loaded down. I had it on shuffle but for some reason it really really liked the Corrs, which lasted until I walked into work this morning.
There are actually absolutely no plans this weekend which means I can do all the laundry and an apartment clean. Whoopee! (NOT) *fingers crossed* that the weather is good. I've been heading out with my digital camera taking pictures and some of them are quite good surprising me.
*HUGE HUGS* Hope your Friday and the weekend are awesome.

A little history:
Approximately October 2002 I attended our Mediaeval dance class on my own and was a little shy but had made friends and well, was learning the dances of the 15th century. MyLuc then known to me as Noah often asked me to dance and I would totally harass him because he never smiled or showed expression. I had become friends with someone known to me then as Wolfie. Noah's ex-girlfriend from the previous year. She still had feelings for him but knew that they just weren't compatible.
Noah pursued me and asked me for coffee after every dance class, I declined. He had tickets to Tom Cochrane, I declined. He offered to walk me home from dance class even though he drove in, I declined. I moved to New Westminster in March 2003 and my first thought was "I'm a little lonely". So I called up Noah and asked if he wanted to come over for a movie. "Sure" he said and brought over his DVD player and Mallrats. Now I had never seen any Kevin Smith movies and I got totally hooked...on both Noah and Mallrats. We talked until like 4 in the morning and then I asked him if he wanted to stay. We slept side by side with him holding my hand. It was awesome.
Over the next few weeks Noah would stay the weekend and we'd talk and walk and go places. I have to admit, I really really wanted to jump'im but he wanted to wait. So we talked, n' walked and watched movies and it was awesome.
In April 2003, MyLuc and I decided we would be "exclusive". We argue that the anniversary of that day is either April 6 or April 7. I chose April 6 because I invited MyLuc to come to a Folk Heroes show and watch us perform and he chooses April 7 because he took me out to a very nice restaurant ie: expensive.
Approximately May I finally figured out his name was Luc and Noah was his SCA Name. About June he decided it was time to meet his parents. I was so nervous. I went to the store and bought a really brilliant coloured flower (I can't remember what it was) and off we went. When we arrived Virginia walked out of her very large greenhouse covered in dirt. I was horrified. Why couldn't he have told me...I could have gotten her something different.
All in all the first meeting went well, Virginia actually either didn't have that flower or that colour...one or the other.,,and today I really miss her when I don't hear from her. His dad Larry was great. Kinda standoffish but today is the one who says "Where's my hug". His sister Laura the youngest, recently engaged to Brian, the phrases I hear "Do you really like his hair that long?", "Why are in you in a Cult?." His brother Matthew is the quiet one. He and I talk about movies and occasionally laugh over my choices.
The present:
Either we decided or I decided to celebrate our anniversary. The first one MyLuc took us back to our first date restaurant. The second one I took him to the Revolving Restaurant downtown Vancouver where every 10 minutes or so revolution we got to see (kinda) the filming of the Fantastic Four.
This morning we exchanged our gifts because I needed to be at work at 7 instead of 8. He was thrilled to recieve a packet of saffron, Superman (the first and best one), Dr. John tickets for July, Dr. John CD for New Orleans support, 2 Gargoyles and o'course a smushy card and a funny one. I was bouncing in my seat after receiving an Ipod Nano. I can't wait to get home and download music and yup...almost too excited to type.
I can't work late tonight (last night I was here to 830) because he's taking me out for dinner and our reservations are for 630 or so. I don't know where but he says it's somewhere new that we've talked about but never been. Hmmmm.
Anyways, I just had to share. Have a great Thursday!

You know your day is going to be interesting ...
- When you're putting dishes away from the dishwasher and open the fridge...and wait.....for what ?
- You receive an email from one of the lawyers apologizing for the raid on your candy stash...they ate them all because no one else had food in their desk. And after all, you had given them permission.
- You receive an email from one of the lawyers because they ate your banana because it was there.
- Your alarm goes up and you fall back asleep cuddling your love only to awake because if you're alarm goes off that means he's late for work. Waking him by violently shaking him...getting him up and almost dressed when he wakes enough to tell you that he's taken the day off.
- You make a large lunch with a variety of healthy things that'll last for lunch tomorrow...realizing after you get to work that today is Friday and you really really don't want to be in the office tomorrow.
Hows your day?

- Cuz B's bday..we gave $35 . $5 from each of us and his comment to Auntie Mel...more than you thought now isn't it?
Work (more than three):

- Raising $100 for the above by asking nicely and using...you're not bowling want to get a tax receipt?
