It left some things out, though. What about the delivery of gourmet coffee? Or a bottle of cheap wine shared with a friend? Over an overly dramatic tv show? Or how about the time we stayed up till like three in the morning laughing and failing miserably at a jigsaw puzzle? These are a few of my favorite things.
