First, we went to the movies. We saw Valentine's Day. We really enjoyed it! I mean really. I liked that the story line had twists and turns that I couldn't figure out. Some were a little predictable-- like the cheating bastard--but there's always one. It's also a gay friendly movie, so I encourage everyone to go see it. Then, we went out to eat.
Where: Emerywood Cafe
What we ate!
Appetizers
Duck Confit Spring Rolls; Served with a duck sweet and sour sauce.
Entrees
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops served over goat cheese and sun-dried tomato risotto, spaghetti zucchini and squash, with Béarnaise sauce.
Crab and Tarragon-Stuffed Red Snapper, served with roasted Yukon potatoes, sauteed tri-color carrots and Hollandaise sauce.
Dessert
Chocolate Mousse with whipped cream and slivered almonds
Chocolate bread pudding
After dinner, we went to Barnes & Noble. It's one of our favorite hangout spots. I had such a great time that I went to sleep around midnight. That's early for me. I hope you had a wonderful day as well. ~Ciao!

I hadn't blogged in 4ever
I almost forgot my login information. Well not really since it's my email login. But it feels like it has been ages. I love Spring and Summer. They are my favorite seasons. I get a little antsy and the exploration bug comes alive. I've pondered several questions over the past few weeks. Here are just a few:
Why do some straight people think there "marriages" are "better" or "different" from other relationships. I ran into an old co-worker and she said, "you're relationship is different from mine because I can't be around my husband that long. I need to get away from him sometimes." I took it as a compliment cuz I love being around my honey bear. Who needs to be in a relationship if you can't stand being around the other person? That's just ludicrous to me.
Why do parents think of their children always in age 5 mode? Some think that just because you are the child, you will always remain in "child mode". That's even more rediculous to me. I love that insurance commercial when the kids are asking for the keys to the car and curfew extension. Pops is looking at them in their pre-puberty state and they leave out of the house in teenage state. I love it.
I also thought about all of the times I lied to cover up my sexuality. It feels so good to be free and let that sin roll off my back.
And this isn't really a question, but more of a realization: We need more gay couples as friends. OMG! If I hear of another potluck, "game night" or "couples night" I might just scream. Especially since, I have no desire to hang out with a bunch of hetero couples. Not that there is anything wrong with them as individual couples, but get a bunch together and I just can't take it.
Ok! I think that is it for now. I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

I want what you have...
I've heard that statement to many times. And it is always in reference to a relationship. Yes, my relationship with my girlfriend is wonderful. Yes we will have a lot of years under our belt this year.
We've had some really fun and marvelous times...
...BUT...
...not without the work. It has not been a walk in the park. We worked our tails off to get to this point. Let's talk about us being friends for 2 years before we even got into a relationship. I don't talk about how our other friendships were tested as we tried to keep it in the closet. I don't talk about the crying, the pain, or the shame we experienced in the beginning. And I don't talk about the all-girls school heteronormative black experience.
It was a painful journey, but our love for each other buffered it along the way. We had to work on communication, getting used to each others habits, the normal likes and dislikes coupled with all the stuff lesbians have to deal with. So please, don't look at other people's relationships and say, "I want what you all have."
You only see what's on the surface.
