So You Know How I Used to Say...

lydamorehouse...that I don't "binge watch"? I might have to reassess that. Shawn and I spent a good portion of yesterday watching the entire third season of "Broadchurch."
One of the reasons we were able to watch so many hours of TV yesterday, too, was that Mason had a Robotics build from 9 am until 3 pm.
We also finally had our anniversary Vescio's meal. This is a tradition that started when Mason was small and wasn't very good yet at going out to restaurants. I had been sad not to be able to take Shawn out somewhere fancy. I was complaining to a friend that making something special at home would involve skills I didn't think I had, plus hours where Mason wasn't underfoot. She suggested surprising Shawn with a take-out from somewhere meaningful. Vescio's was one of the first restaurants I remember taking Shawn during college...
Thus a tradition was born.
This year, for whatever reason, we hadn't been able to do Vescio's on our actual anniversary. When Shawn said, "We can just push it back a month or so," I figured that actually meant we'd forget about it entirely. But, my wonderful list-making, task-setting wife actually set a reminder to pop up on Saturday, and so we actually remembered to do it.
It was delicious. I'm super-glad we remembered!
Today we finished up the last of "Broadchurch" and have been cleaning the house a little in prep for a gaming gathering. Mason's two best friends are coming over to hang out. Should be pleasant.
