Seabass, Celebrations, and Squirrels
Posted on September 24, 2008

Last night the hubs and I, along with several supafun couples, spent the evening at an amazing Italian restaurant in Town and Country.
We earlybirds sat at the bar having cocktails. And when everyone arrived, we found a private room especially prepared for our group.
Marc hasn’t been at his current employer for two years yet, but the firm has expressed a great deal of enthusiasm for his ideas. They’ve been very supportive in implementing those ideas as well as showing appreciation for his hard work. He’s already won an award for client development and this summer was asked to be a stockholder. As of last night, he was promoted to a director.
So we toasted Marc. And then one of the partners of his office made a speech about how important spouses are to the company. Then we spouses were given gifts (cough, Waterford Crystal, cough) as a “thank-you” for supporting our hardworkin’ loverlies. SWEET!
And then there was much eating, imbibing, and lively conversation. And a “brown squirrel” dessert drink which tasted like a chocolate shake with Amaretto. (I am convinced these drinks could bring about world peace AND alleviate PMS.)
And then there was even more dessert and coffee. And more laughing. It was a bit of a rough morning, but damn! What a fun night. (I may not have to eat for an entire week. Also, if you ever go there, do yourself a favor and GET THE SEA BASS! See how strongly I feel about the sea bass? I used an exclamation point AND caps! It totally warrants that kind of emphasis!)
So congrats to mah hubby. I’m proud of ya babe. And happy for you too.
P.S. Yes, with the wild pattern on the dress and bangs I think I look like a reject from a 70’s porno too! I was NOT going for this look but its a long story… )
The support I received after this post was amazing. (Thankfully, the scary ordeal is no longer “scary” nor an “ordeal”.) But I wanted to thank everyone who took time to read the post and comment. So I’ll be thanking a group of people as a part of each post until I’ve thanked everyone.
So thanks to: Glennia, Kathryn, Stephanie, Momisodes, Amy, Mollie, Tracey, Kat, Rebecca, Madge, Jenn, Mahala, Ali, MoxieMamaKC, Angela, Growing a pair, Amanda, and Metro Mama.

Sounds awesome! I’m going to have to Google that chocolate drink. Congrats to the hubby. And I love the bangs!
I’m always so excited when I finally see a picture of the author of a blog! You’re beautiful and gorgeous!! What are you talking about? Now I see where Seth gets his blonde hair and blue eyes! Do you have blue eyes? I can’t tell….
What a lovely evening! Kudos and Congratulations to Marc…..
Hugs and love to you!!
Aww, it sounded like a lovely evening. What a fabulous gesture to give the spouses a gift and tribute!
And I have no idea what you’re talking about. You look gorgeous
Thanks so much for the link love.
I think you look beautiful
dude, when did the bangs happen? your hair looks AMAZING.
as do you in that dress. you were right about your knockers in that thing.
i told you that you’d look HAWT.
Sounds like a great night! My office is near Mineos, although I’ve never been; I suppose I will have to check it out.
Holy cow!! I never would have recognized you with the bangs. I think they’re kinda cute, but WOW they make you look so different.
So happy to see a smile on your face.
xoxo,

Congrats to Marc and don’t worry, you look great.
Is THIS the dress you were talking about? You look fantastic! I don’t get your 70’s porno statement at all.
You’re class all the way.
Way to go Marc! And Lisa, you look beautiful! Glad you kids had a night out and got to bring home something lovely.
You SOOOOOOO don’t look like a 70’s porn star!!!! You look FABULOUS! (Notice the caps and exclamation points
). Sounds like a wonderful evening…boy do I need one of those! Instead my hubby is at a VIP party for the grand opening of a casino tonight…was I invited??? NO!
Your hair is MUCH longer too!! You look great! I’ll see you tomorrow to make the “drop off.”
I seriously did not even recognize you. That doesn’t mean bad but you look so very, very goooood.
70’s porn was the last thing I would have thought of when looking at this pic! You guys look GREAT!!! Hope to see you in person again one of these days!
Congrats to your hubby! I’m glad you had a good time. Wish I could comment on your photo but alas, the “man” has it blocked for me.
What a nice evening! It sounds like you had a great time! And yay for hubby! Congrats to him!
How nice of you to go about thanking everyone personally. That is awesome!
Congrats all around!! And yes, you look fabulous, porn star goodness or not, the bangs are doing it for you.
LOVE the bangs…I’m to scared to get them. I have an appointment on the 7th…we’ll see what I decide.
I have not been there for dinner..growing up on the Hill I’m surrounded by resturants…I tend not to venture out
Someone named a dessert after me? Saaaaweet.
You look amazing!
Many, many kudos to your hubby with his accomplishments.
Don’t sweat the bangs thing. I’ve always had them. Then again, I have an oddly shaped head, so I NEED them. =)
A very lovely photo!
LOL at your 70’s porn movie reference….
So jealous of the crystal
you look too thin!!! =)
That sounds like a fabulous evening. Congrats to both of you! Off to Google that drink…
I think you look HAWT!! See how much I emphasize it??
And of course, congrats to the hubsters.
