Philip and I spent the whole day with boat boy Allan. We shopped around for some track lighting for his dining area. I paid for it (my holiday gift to Allan and Mike, my pre-Philip surrogate boyfriends) and Philip installed the artsy illumination (his holiday gift to the nautical nancies).

My dear friend and customer (Mike S.) sent us a gift from harryanddavid.com! Pears, gourmet popcorn, trail mix, candy. Yummy! Thank you, Mike.

Allan made dinner for us... meatballs and sauce from scratch... pasta from Breaux Mart (Jeez, that check-out boy Dustin would make a good model).

Later Philip and I tried to start watching SWEET SIXTEEN on recommendation from Roger Ebert... but the Scottish brogue was so thick that we couldn't understand a word of it. We'll try to watch it during the day some time where we can turn the volume way up... we didn't want to bother our neighbors...

All of those delicious harryanddavid.com treats that we got earlier today inspired me to order some more Royal Cherry Chocolates (my favorite of all their products). They're so back up with Christmas deliveries that I won't see my goodies 'til January 7th!
