What? You thought I was kidding. No way.
I had to do something.
Well, I did a couple of other things, too.
I'm in the Gitter Done mode, one could say.
Ahh. Now I can breathe. Got-it done today!
Making ALL of my Christmas gifts this year. Ordered the Madagascar vanilla beans, bought the vodka.
Spilt the beans.
Put the beans in the liquor, stored the bottle in a bag in a dark closet. Homemade vanilla in the making. Got-her Done!
And then, EC, had a surprise for me. YAY!
He doesn't do surprise things so much.
He's a practical romantic.
Not today.
He ordered Filet Mignon, Steamed Veggies, Brown Rice & Sauteed Mushrooms from
my
ALL TIME FAVORITE OH MY GOSH MAKE YOUR MOUTH WATER, HEART SING
restaurant.
A gorgeous meal.
Just for me.
Wanna know why?
He said, "for all the millions of things you are constantly doing for me and for us!"
Be still my heart.
I had already started Gettin' at her B4 this photo was taken.
Melt in your mouth steak!
Oh, and that chocolate divinity in the background?
You noticed it, didn't you?
Creamy, dreamy, chocolate mousse, cream, chocolate dream pie cream
with fresh raspberry sauce on top.
Dreams do come true!
So while I'm Gettin' this done....
Every last morsel...
I'll be thinking and planning on Gettin' THIS DONE for the next
Gitter Done!
OY!
VEY!
This is MY closet.
Have a great night!
Oh gosh. You totally rock. And I'd say you earned that meal BIG time. :) Chocolate mousse. That was a little... mean. Good thing I'm totally not the bitter type. Much.

Wait, hold the phone, back up a second. What's this vanilla beans in the vodka? That's how you make vanilla? Tell me more. How long does it take? Can I get a buzz if I down a bottle of vanilla extract?
ReplyDeleteLove your hubby, what a sweet thing to do. You could have shared a bit of that cake with everyone. Your potty is nice and sparkly. I did that too yesterday.
Thanks so much for putting me up on your sidebar. You are such a sweetie, you always put a smile on my face!

Wow - I had no idea about homemade vanilla. I might have to try that.
ReplyDeleteFirst things first - LOVE those little yellow chairs and the turquoise paisley plates. lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat hubby of yours sure is a keeper. Don't you love it when the men in your life surprise you? (My hubby drove down to the store to surprise me on opening day - over 2hours!, and then drove back home an hour later. how sweet was he?)
Looks like a fabulous meal, and one of my favorites as well. Glad you got yourself a treat. You certainly deserve it.
Impressive. Hard to top that toilet thing. Not that I'm the competitive type or anything. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it takes to motivate us to gettir done, right?! I love the blue paisely plate. :•)
