Should I awaken my husband?

[SarahB]

Poll question: Should I awaken my husband?

I just got home from work and I'm bored. He has to get up at 6:30, but I could make it worth his while. We've hardly seen each other in two weeks because with his 60+ hour work/school weeks, my 40 hour work weeks, car buying issues, my studying, his studying, and the kids, we've been like, "Hi and Bye".

1. Wake that boy up, Sarahbelle.

Pretty sure he won't mind. :hi:

2. Sleep is winning though.

I think I may have to tip toe in there and see if he wakes up on his own. :yoiks:

3. Just go to bed

...snuggle tightly up with him...if he's "in the mood," he'll respond!

4. Mood to chat hopefully!

(I'm just tormenting him for when he inevitably sees this in the morning and groans. :7)

In the same oil, sauté the chile and transfer to a mortar. Fry the slice of bread in the same oil until golden and transfer to the mortar with the chile. Mash together until a paste is formed.

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Palacio de Bornos Rueda A lovely, aromatic, full-flavored white wine: it’s a bit like a cross between a Sauvignon and a Viognier in character. A fresh, clean wine, crisp and attractive. No trace of oak.
Muga Rioja 2002 This elegant Rioja white has a full oaky flavor that fans of Chardonnay would love. It has a fresh and citrusy complexity, lively.Wine Spectator: 88
