Hello, Luuuhhhhhvvveerrrr.

This weekend The AG and I went on a date. It was very romantic. I will share all of the intimate details with you now. Hold on, it's gonna get wild.

~~~~~~~~~

5PM: Sitter arrives. Sitter's name is Meridith. She is free. We like free.

5:30 PM: We are on our way into town. We pull off at Goodwill to drop off a few items. Feel good about unloading a plastic plant and some VHS movies to some unsuspecting soul.

5:39PM: Pull into Starbucks. The AG orders a Tall Triple Shot White Chocolate Mocha and I order a Tall Double Shot Espresso Truffle. We feel the caffeine might help us stay awake. (I repeat, it is 5:39PM.)

6:00PM: Yeah! Costco! We love Costco! We buy some fruit. We buy some cheese. And then The AG gets really romantic and buys me a new blender. It even has an attachment for a food processor. How sweet is he? We decide it might be time to look into some AARP benefits.

7:15PM: We check out of Costco and decide we are famished. We are eating sooooooo late...what is wrong with us? How are we ever going to get to sleep if we continue eating this late? Just kidding. Actually we pull into our favorite sushi resteraunt and find a table outside. We split three rolls. We decide we are too full to finish them. One of us actually said, "It was probably that coffee that filled us up; coffee just don't do so good for me anymore." I can't tell you who said it........but it wasn't me.

8:30PM: We pull out of the restaurant and are clueless as to what we should do next.

8:32PM: I suggest Barnes and Noble.

8:32PM: He wants to know why I always prefer Barnes and Noble to Borders. He prefers Borders because (and I quote) "it's brighter in there and I can read the small print better."

8:33PM: I tell him I prefer Barnes and Noble because of their bathrooms and I tend to spend a healthy majority of time in the bathroom in almost every gathering place I go to.

8:34PM: As we make our way to Barnes and Noble he says, "Or we could go to Super Wal-Mart..."

8:35PM: I get very excited at the prospect of going to Super Wal-Mart and say "yes! yes!" And he begins to sing the song 'All Night Long' by Lionel Richie.

8:40PM: We park in the lawn and garden section of Wal-Mart because it is not as far to walk inside.

8:55PM: He makes a bee-line to the antacid section because, "that spicy tuna is lightin' me up." What a sweet talker.

9:15PM: We find a special on baby wipes. We get excited.

9:30PM: We decide to do some major grocery shopping because we don't have kids with us. It makes us think of our kids. We miss them, so we throw some pizza rolls in for them. We begin to physically pat ourselves on the back for being suck freakin' good parents. Then I ask him to pass me a Rolaid.

9:45PM: We stand in the check-out line both reading different magazines. The cashier is very chatty, which means I walk away and make him talk to her. She never takes a breath. He asks me why I walked away and I remind him that I don't really like people that much.

10PM: We are on our way home when we impulsively decide to pull through Steak & Shake for an orange freeze. Impulsivess never tasted so good! I break rank by ordering a malt instead of an orange freeze; he looks at me like I have just tried crystal meth for the first time...he is shocked and stunned and saddened. I feel bad for my recklessness.

10:30PM: We arrive home and ask our babysitter if she wants to spend the night since it is so late to drive home. She reminds us that it is only 10:30 at night. This blows our mind as we are thinking we can barely make it through a Frasier before we fall sound asleep.

10:52PM: "Good night AG." "Good night."

10:58PM: "Good Lord I got heartburn!!"
