<p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">A bout of food poisoning has ruined my evening and planned Quick Stop posts on the manicure and pedicure I'd get at Dashing Diva while checking out the New Balance and <a href="http://www.aravonshoes.com/">Aravon</a> shoes and the Blogher Holiday Bash being held at <a href="http://prannarestaurant.com/">Pranna</a> (I even had my cans of vegetables ready to donate to the New York City Food Bank).
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Instead you get to read about my guy's love for his new compact dish rack. You read that right. Really. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">While the picture might not do it justice and you aren't able to hear his glowing review for the <a href="http://www.simplehuman.com/products/dishracks/compact.html">Simple Human compact dishrack</a> he bought at Basics Plus, trust me, it was <span style="text-decoration:line-through">almost</span> comical when he called me over to his sink to watch each dish (and the <a href="http://www.korwater.com/">KOR One</a> water bottle I gave him) drain excess water from the rack directly into the sink.

</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Because instead of rolling my eyes and going back to the couch to lay down, I got my camera and took a half assed photo to document the new addition to his kitchen. Ahh it's the little things. Even though this little thing came with a $40 price tag.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">It's official.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">We're old.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm accepting it.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Now get off mah lawn!!!
