When I finished the last edits on my manuscript last week I wanted to remember what it felt like and cherish the moment, so I had the bf go out and get champagne so we could toast in the middle of the day.

That's what I do when I'm really, really pleased with myself. They tolerate it because I only do it once in a while and I listen as compassionately as I can to them all the rest of the time.<BR/><BR/>Please let us know how the critique goes.
