Margaret and I celebrated my birthday yesterday evening with a nice romantic dinner. With the kids at Grandma's, we had the house all to ourselves. We started off with fillet mignon sauteed in butter with onions, mushrooms and chilies, stir fry veggies served on the side, black olives and a nice pinot grigio red wine.
After dinner, we enjoyed a Dairy Queen Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard ice cream cake. Thankfully, we didn't have to put the fire department on alert prior to lighting the candles. Instead, we used two rows of 4 candles and 1 to grow on. She asked me what I wished for and I didn't tell her, but I'm sure she knows what I wished for anyway.
For gifts - in addition to the cool cell phone she got me earlier this month - Margaret got me a spicy cuisine cookbook, a pouch of sweet rolling tobacco, a pack of rum dipped cigarillos, a good butane lighter and a wonderful tasting - yet rather expensive - Monte Cristo Cigar. She knows I'm fond of Fuente's Opus X, but they are $160+ for a box of 4 and the local dealer was out of stock. Regardless, the Monte Cristo was an excellent choice!
With all the tobacco products my wife got me for my birthday, I can't help but wonder; is she pampering me and my indulgence and enjoyment of unhealthy sinful habits or is she plotting to get rid of me by sending me to an early grave? I may never know, but one thing is for sure, she gave me a wonderful celebration to be remembered for a very long time. TNX, Honey! I couldn't ask for a better birthday - or for that matter, a better wife ;)
