It's fairly easy for me to say I'm having a great day. Oh and yesterday was pretty freaking fantastic too. Thursday morning I had a job interview up in Calgary. It went very well so if everything works out, I will be a working man soon. Wish me luck! That afternoon since Joanne was off work we decided to go to our favorite casino in town. We hit up our regular favorite slots but were barely breaking even and still looking for a decent score. A walk around the floor had us noticing a few new machines with bright flashy lights and loud enchanting bells and ding dings. A few spins in and.....
$1000 bucks on a $1.25 spin!!! A couple weeks ago while at a casino in Iowa I hit a $500 spin.(it was still counting up when i snapped the pic)  Woot! I'm on Fire! So for last night I had asked Joanne to pick a nice restaurant for us to dine at. Pulcinella's, a small Italian pizzeria with the most amazing food and spirits. Gotta start with the wine.
A lovely Cabernet/Syrah that just hit the spot. And then on to the appetizers.
Fried Squid! 
Oyster Mushrooms. OMG were these good. The mushrooms I'd never had before and I can't wait to try them again. The calamari had the perfect blend of seasonings and texture. Heaven! The main course.
Authentic Napoli style pizza. And finally for dessert we had......uhhhh
....eaten it all before I took the pic. But it was brilliant! Tiramisu drizzled with caramel and raspberry sauces!!!! Eventually we meandered back to Joanne's house...and it was finally the right time. Got down on one knee. Presented the ring.(pics soon probably on her site.) Popped the question. And..... She responded with an exuberant 'OF COURSE!'. .....and that's all the rest of you get to know.  Yes I did consider(cause I'm a big dork!) asking during a broadcast on air, in front of the Hot Hot Penny machine, when The Big Event triggered, or while we were at the restaurant but I really wanted the moment to be ours and ours alone. It was a great day! I LOVE YOU JOANNE! |
