Thursday

I feel pretty lucky that this owning my own business is finally working out for us.  Outside of the "more consistent" income part i have found what I think is the best benefit of the our little company.

Working from home on Fridays allows us to make Thursday "our time".  In fact it has become something I look forward to every week.  Taco Thursday, Chili Thursday, Popcorn Thursday and most importantly Thirsty Thursday.  It is the day of the week I enjoy most.

Playing cards with you while we enjoy some sports on TV and cocktails is a perfect way to end my week.  Watching a Blackhawks game or whatever lame NFL game i son makes it even better.  We may finally have to embrace those Chicago Bulls once football ends, but for some reason neither of us can seem to get on board with them this season.  Once Sox season starts we can watch them lose game after game after game.  But Hawk will make us laugh, plus we don't need sound for the Sox.

And hey now we have video games!  Who knows where that will lead.  Probably to tons of spending on games we will never play, but seem like genius ideas at the time.

The night isn't all about sports though.  There is always the music part.  Lots of music.  There is the initial fight with the Beoplay, but then that thing helps us rock out like nobody can imagine.  We have microphones, guitars and now a harmonica.  We play them all so well and frankly we are fantastic singers!

You have no idea how much fun I think our concerts are together.  Do you have any idea how much you have to be in love with someone to feel that comfortable around them?  We literally hold "alone in the car" concerts with each other every week.

You rock Elton John, dominate Jackson Browne and frankly your dancing to Ftiz and the Tantrums is awesome.  I have my Billy Joel and some Dashboard Confessionals, but I know my place as your backup singer and rhythm guitar player.  People likely would pay to see us.  We will let the world know when we go on tour.

Then there is the "book".  SO many amazing "deep" and/or "silly" comments in get written down every week.  We are not just brilliant thinkers any more my love, we are "published" thinkers.

The fun lasts and last until we get hungry enough to eat our midnight-ish meal.  Lots of popcorn, leftovers, salami sandwiches - you name it.  Even a few "chopped" like concoctions we have created late at night.  Yummy Yummy Yummy.

Then off to bed for the best part of the night (well to me at least). Always amazing.  Always.

So have those cocktails ready my love, it is Thursday.  Hawks play the Islanders at 6PM.  Best day of the week is on tap.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
