Thursday, April 12, 2007Blindfolds and Bellies
  Yesterday was Eric's birthday, and it seemed like as good a time as any to pose for a "belly shot" with my sweetie. After all, I suppose we must preserve for posterity proof of "Eric on his 44th birthday with Pregnant Wife." There you have it, belly and all. Secondly, the blindfold. In honor of the day, the children and I blindfolded the Birthday Boy and took him on an adventure. He loved it, of course: center of attention, taken from place to place without knowing where we were going, etc. Except. Except that Eric has an uncannily accurate sense of direction. He almost always knew where we were going before we got there. Almost always. I tried to throw him off. I succeeded in getting him to Smoothie King without his having figured it out. He thought we were at Bread and Company. That sounds like a grand success until you realize that Bread and Company is extremely close to Smoothie King. He knew where we were, he just didn't know the exact location. How infuriating. At one point, I was driving along the road that leads to Best Buy. Eric, blindfolded, suddenly waved out the side window. "What are you waving at?" I asked. "Smoky Bones." All right. We were passing the restaurant Smoky Bones on the right -- at exactly the same moment when Eric was waving. How does he DO that? Still, we had a lovely day, rounded off with a romantic dinner for two at a delightful restaurant in downtown Franklin. I had a bowl of French onion soup followed by blue crab ravioli. How exquisite is that? It's always the simple things, isn't it? They make life worth living. Stay tuned for another Simple Thing -- tomorrow is Ultrasound Day! Big announcement forthcoming.
