This beautiful exchange

If any of you knew me about 5 years ago, you would know that I did not like to cook. I wasn’t BAD at it, I just didn’t like to do it. There was something about trying to get everything done at the same time that would completely stress me out. If the meal had [...]

On a Sunday afternoon.
him: You’ve become just like the dog. All you want to do is eat, sleep and pee!
(To which, I just laughed. Can’t argue with the truth.)

The other night, Tony made a snarky comment, as he is prone to do, and my weapon of choice was “the stare”. To which he responded, “If I don’t wake up in the morning, I’ll know why.”
