Great courtship night last night. We went out for BBQ and whiskey! (I love whiskey, C-dawg loves bbq). Funny thing though: Cooper ordered a salad and I ordered a plate of meat. That is what you call yin and yang (I think). BBQ, whiskey followed by Mexican hot chocolate for dessert. happy.
Last night I suited up to take the dog for a walk. What does a weak weak weak gal from Colorado do to gear up for the California outdoors? She wears: leggings, jeans over the leggings, a tank top, a sweater, a down vest (her security blanket), a long wool coat, a fleece scarf wrapped around her head, hideous looking gloves with a hole in one finger, socks and Uggs. The full get up deconstructed:
So yes, that is a total of 10 pieces. Four layers on my torso. Two layers on my legs (not including granny looking undergarments). The temperature outside: 50 degree. WEAK!

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
