The Summerlicious Gorge-Fest, Part 1

First dinner of the Summerlicious season. Yay!

I had a lovely "triple date" at Herbs Restaurant with couples, Prince Disarming and Cinder-Hella (my best friend), and (the couple too good-looking to believe they're real) Ken and Barbie. The food was awesome, and the company even better. They were kind and tried to make FoxyLady as comfortable as possible, which means, no one gave her the third degree. Thank God. The only grilling I wanted done, was to be done in the kitchen.

Since I've recently befriended a good chunk of Prince Disarming's friends, a portion of the night was spent with accusatory fingers being pointed at me for being a "friend stealer". Can you blame them? I mean, Revisionist Reese is quite the charmer! But it kinda gives you pause about the concept of compartmentalizing one's world. I fully subscribe to collapsing walls and having my different worlds collide, but for some people, it's their worst nightmare come true.

Anyway, I was fully sated after the great meal. Oh, and very tipsy and happy.
