1) Go to the grocery store with your sweetheart, pick up all the ingredients for a fine homecooked meal.
2) Return home and plan when to have dinner.
3) In this case, watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
4) Cook dinner together. If you have a strong, almost psychic link with each other, marvel at how you automatically choose certain cooking assignments for yourself and let your partner handle others.
5) Have dinner by candlelight with Enya playing in the background. If you're Parrish, scarf the garlic bread you made and look sheepish when Denise catches you doing it, even though you know she'll just laugh.
6) Look at the Victoria's Secret catalogue that you received in today's mail. Marvel at how most of the women aren't really all that attractive, some of the women are actually repulsive, and two of them are very beautiful. Do several web searches trying to find out who the two that you like are. Find out that they are Marisa Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio.
7) Make blog entry detailing all of the above.
8) Think about when to have dessert.
No 9?
You never actually had dessert then, just thought about it? :)
Posted by: Matt at December 18, 2003 11:21 PMWe haven't had dessert yet. It's still sitting in the fridge... cheesecake with cherry topping. Yum. :-)
Posted by: Zathras at December 18, 2003 11:23 PMWell, it *was* sitting in the fridge. I wandered out of the room and upon my return found a reasonable portion had migrated from the fridge to a plate next to a fork-wielding Parrish. *grin* (Of course, he has better manners than I do: I admit that part of why I make mini-cheesecakes is so I can skip the fork...)

1a) Exchange eye-rolling glances over guy whose method of keeping his children under control is to bore them to sleep with inane chatter. Reaffirm together that neither of you will ever reproduce.
2a) Enjoy silence in apartment brought about in part by your girlfriend's temper scaring the neighbors repeatedly.
3a) Sympathize together with the Grinch's frustration over all the damn noise children make.
4a) Walk into kitchen, notice strong smell of gas as GF mishandled lighting the stove; shortly after, warn GF that plastic bags probably shouldn't be next to the grill. Handle the burners/grill for her from that point, not just because she'd injure herself but also as you'd rather not have your kitchen set on fire.
5a) Glance at partner and realize he has eaten almost 1/4 loaf of garlic bread in the two minutes he spent setting the table. Be amused that he is faintly embarrassed, because you're personally more likely to not manage to get it TO the table in the first place.
6a) Wonder why other women are threatened by having their partners blatantly check out attractive females, given it's so much fun to watch.
7a) Comment extensively on boyfriend's blog entry. ;)
8a) Get boyfriend hooked on 20-minute easy cheesecake recipe, bwahahahaha!
I also forgot: try -- again -- to convince girlfriend that she is gorgeous enough to be a Victoria's Secret model herself. Fail to convince her -- again. (I'm going to get this thru to her if it's the last thing I ever do.)
