Happy Valentine's Day

Since Adam has class on thursday nights, we went on our fun Valentine's Day date last night, dinner at Teatro and a movie I really wanted to see, 27 dresses. We got to Teatro just in time for the prix fixe menu which is an excellent deal. Choice of Caesar salad, Tuscan soup or mushroom ravioli for appetizer, choice of steak or swordfish entree and a choice of any of their desserts. All this for $29 when the steak or swordfish would have set us back $26 alone. We shared one order of the prix fixe and a small spinach ravioli which was just enough food. The crusty bread came with a wonderful olive oil/garlic/bean spread. The food was awesome, homemade mushroom ravioli was a favorite and the steak was good too. We got the chocolate crema for dessert which was like a super nice and decadent chocolate pudding. Teatro just might be one of my favorite spots, they also have an awesome antipasto plate for two that's big enough for a light meal. Plus, it's 25 feet from the movie theater to boot. All in all, a fun night out.

Super Tuesday Joke

Adam: I tried asking my coworkers who they voted for in the primaries, but no one would tell me.
plasticann: I really don't think you should be talking politics at work...or religion for that matter.
Adam: [pause] Hah hah hah! [loud disingenuous laugh]

I retold the joke to several others who actually laughed appreciatively.

Key Fact: Adam works at a church so they kinda have to talk about religion at work.

LinkedIn

I just got an invitation from Adam to join his LinkedIn network. Hmmm, I wonder if he used the generic invitation template?

Ann,
Since you are a person I trust, I wanted to invite you to join my network on LinkedIn.
I'm using it to discover inside connections I didn't know I had. It's interesting to see the level of access you can have with only a few people in your network.
It's free to join and only takes a minute to sign up and join my network.
- Adam


Typically people will personalize the invitation with a generic, "Hope all is going well since graduation" so I started laughing when I read Adam's generic invite. I thought, hmmm, it's nice to know that I'm someone my husband trusts. I feel affirmed! Incidentally, I'm the 2nd person to join Adam's network, apparently Chi-Ray was quicker to accept than me.
