That's right...our second date night in as many months. This may be a personal record for us!
We spent Saturday doing mundane things...groceries, gym, Kohl's (where the Crazies inexplicably received a toy each from Husband because "they're good kids"), naps, dinner for the Crazies, baths, and the arrival of Babysitter.
Oh, a little note about Babysitter: She isn't horribly failing any of her classes and was accepted into her program at college, so that definitely means she will be graduating this year and I will lose her. Boohoo...the good news is, she has a younger sister, so I'll train her over the summer and we should be all set by Fall. The bad news is that the laws changed and younger sister probably won't have her license like Babysitter...one of the best things about Babysitter is her license (oh, yeah...and her ability to take care of kids...blah, blah, blah).
Anyway, we arrived at the newest restaurant in our little town and had a drink at the bar. We talked about real life things...the old days, current events, sports, family, but only occasionally did the Crazies come up (because they were totally nuts during the day...it was hard not to mention that. Plus, we love them and all that caca). Woohoo!!! Go us!
We finally sat down (in a booth this time...not that crappy little table they sat us at last time), I couldn't wait to order. I love the food at this place. So, here's the rundown, because you care.
Me: Oysters on the 1/2 shell (a precious commodity since we're 3.5 hours from the beach...reason #962 I will be moving back to the beach at some point in my life), seared Ahi tuna tacos
Husband: Rosemary frites (delish!!!!), crab and basil flatbread pizza.
Dessert: dark chocolate and Bailey's layered cake
Drinks: Pinot grigio for me and Sam Adams for Husband
Grand total: LESS THAN $60!!! Holy crap...I am loving life.
I was so happy.
I was also in love with my new shirt (damn you, Lauren Con.rad...I wanted to hate your stuff, but I can't...I just can't!)...here's the link...lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove
When we got home, Husband gave me a kiss in the driveway...so sweet. Then we paid Babysitter and promptly sat down to watch a little Jersey Sh.ore!!!! Fist pump!
It was a great night (oh, and the Crazies slept through, so that's always a small miracle on Earth, right?)!
So, now I'm going to torture myself with a spin class...wish me (and my tush) luck!!!

I'm not into LC either but that is a cute top! Sounds like date night was a success! Good luck with spin class!
oh i'm glad you went back and got the shirt! it was cute :)
also happy you had a good date night. you need those in your life!
what did i do this weekend? waited for your blog post.
Love that top! Glad you had a great date night.
This weekend? Read my blog for today (terrible news though so get in the mood for that first) and yesterday, lovely friends over for a late lunch!
That dinner sounds ahhh-mazing!!! So glad you had a great night!
I had a "date" on Friday night with my girls (a couple of my BFFs, just to clarify). We ate our weight in chips and salsa and cheese dip at our favorite Mexican dive, washing it all down with margaritas. I'm still tasting those margaritas (blech), but it was so worth it. :)
This date sounds amazing! Good for you both! It made me craze some one on one hubby time! My house still is trying to get over this sickness that we keep passing between each, so we did nothing exciting! Hope you enjoyed your spin class!
perfect date night! husband's meal sounds to.die.for good
and, i too have a love for lauren conrad despite my efforts to the contrary.
oh! and jersey shore is a new found love of mine.
I'm still thinking that the meal was less than 60?? THAT is amazing!
And I love the shirt, btw.
Sounds like 1) you needed it; 2) it was perfect
Oh this weekend I worked, and worked. Lame. I did spend my Sunday night being jealous of you!
The food sounds delish! I can't believe you got all that fancy stuff for under $60!!
I fist pump over here ever week, as well.
I'm embarrassed to admit 2 things...I've never had oysters (ok...not sure I'm embarrassed by that...as much as i like seafood, they don't sound appetizing to me...) and I have no idea who Lauren Conrad is but I will say that shirt was cute!
I was supposed to go out last night for a friend's bday. Planned to get dolled up and have a few drinks with the girls...but we got more snow and the roads were horrible enough. Would have not been an easy drive sober...let alone after a couple drinks so I ended up staying home instead. Big bummer! :-(
Sounds like a fantastic date!! Glad you had a nice time out! And I can empathize with the babysitter situation - I was so bummed when our last sitter graduated. She said something about wanting to go to college and get into a good career...blah.
sounds like you had a great time. i'm totally jealous. we went out for my birthday and i was dry heaving in the bathroom right after ordering the appetizer! boo. we had to have everything packed up and then still shelled out $100! arg.
also, i totally LOVE the shirt. i dont' want to like her stuff, either, but i love it. it's cute! :)
