I will probably create a separate thread at some point, but my tenth anniversary is coming up and I need ideas for a gift for H. Any thoughts? Tenth = tin/aluminum

A tin foil hat!
I was going to suggest a ton of bud light, but this is better.
I keep thinking that I need to buckle down and just write. Then sell it on amazon for $3. I write a fuckton better than half the hacks on there that are peddling their wares.
You're on to me!
Now quick, fill in this blank: "Espresso wood, stainless steel, and __________ countertops gleamed at him as he inhaled the scent of fresh garlic and olive oil."
Oh and ESPN is reporting that the Ravens' ownership tried to bribe Ray Rice with a job if he stuck to the story that they hadn't seen the video and he downplayed what happened even though he apparently told them the truth and his attorney admitted the video was fucking horrible (something like that). The excerpt on deadspin says that they may have been involved in him getting the diversion program.
It also says that Coach Harbaugh and one other guy wanted to release him as soon as they heard of the incident but they were told no by the owner and two other guys.

Btw, name me a futsy kitchen counter surface someone with a fuckton of money would have installed. Is granite still in? That shit's gotta be passe to someone, right?
man made quartz composite is very popular. Silestone is the brand name. My mom has it in her kitchen.
I swear I was just researching kitchen countertops and still can't figure out what to get. Granite actually seems like a good choice but I just can't get over the smarmy HGTV asshole house hunters demanding it.
See and that's why I'm thinking granite is too "common" for the setting I'm using it in. I'm supposed to be describing the kitchen of a woman who inherited a publishing firm. Does she really have the same countertops as some pinch nosed Canadian who waxes poetic over the tray ceiling?
Questions, questions lol
lmao. No she does not. Is the house modern? If so, stained concrete.

No! If you're snooty, you used reclaimed items in your house, just so you can say that your countertop was once used in a super famous restaurant.
She's rich but not snooty attitude-wise. Upper East Side though, large apartment, French and American with a fully French late husband who died and left her serious, serious bank. Like never work again bank even though she's a lawyer and totally does. But just like contracts and shit. Nothing taxing.
I really don't know why I'm giving this much thought to the kitchen of an incredibly minor character. She's just the sister and these two are at her house so they can eventually go have a big argument in Central Park about her very recently broken heart. (not by him of course. He's hot and wouldn't break her heart, like never ever. duh)

Quartzite.
Well now we know who is fancy as fuck around here.

For our fifth (wood), I played around on Etsy, searching for "wood gifts" and "5th anniversary" gifts. You've got to wade through a lot of shit, but I found that a lot of things caught my eyes and gave me ideas to search for other things. I wound up getting him a lovely handmade wood wall clock.
My night has been composed of Star Trek, finally deciding to order Vice 3, and Power Rangers (in French). I also find myself examining the makeup in the show more and more, like the eyeshadow Spock wears.
Granite is out. I see a lot of soapstone lately. I love it
Does it gleam or do I need another descriptor?
Unrelated but look at this fuckery,
"The universe in closer than you think. In A GIFT FROM THE STARS, my Regency scifi romance, a spaceship lands near the heroine’s house. What? During the Regency? Why not? If we’re not alone, we’ve received visitors from outer space all along. In this case, the lucky heroine receives a wonderful gift from the visitor, one that brings her love, happiness and a splendid hero. May we all be so lucky."
Who the fuck wants a regency romance without a regency hero? eclaires, meshaliuknits From the fucking stars?? Did the stars send him down here in too tight breeches and a frock coat of superfine? Are we taking a turn around Rotten Row in your fashionable landau? No? Then take your little spaceship and try it the fuck again. There's a reason why Miss Outlander is the time traveler, not hot dude in the kilt. Shit and fuck.
That's weird. Generally, if I'm mashing my regency it'll have magic not aliens.

I've had 2 margaritas. I'm broken cause 1) it wasn't enough alcohol, but 2) I'm feeling faintly sick from the sugar.
PLEASE do this. I'll pay double to find out what happens!

Cool, hard Carrara marble - with gray flecks that mirrored his eyes as he looked at her as if he wanted to see that hardness pressed against her round derrière.
I bought boxed wine at Target tonight because I was too lazy to drive to another store and feeling too cheap to buy classier stuff. It is not Bota Box or classy boxed wine, but rather a store brand.

It is not awful. I am on my third glass.
I have quartz countertops and I drink target boxed wine. :drink:

Granite is definitely still "in" but unless it's super high end granite it's not something a super high end kitchen would have.
Mixed counters are all the rage now. A marble-topped island, quartz counter, butcher block next to sink. That doesn't help you though does it?
You're totally correct in what's "in" but OMG I hate marble. I don't know why, but I do.
I wanted quartz for the new house but we went with granite (from Michigan!) because its practically free in the US. Half the price it is here on Canada for the same granite.
