Date Night

my girlfriend and I like to have "date night" (she refers to it as a "real date") once in a while to keep things interesting and fresh and I thinjk it's a great idea but are date nights are usually not a run of the mill date night. We always manage to put a spin on them that makes them far from ordinary. The other night we were going to go to dinner and a movie. We ended up going to Michael's (the craft superstore) first and that has never been or will it ever be one of my destination points but she had to pick up some art supplies so I can live with that. Our trip there was fairly painless. We went out to dinner at Hooter's (which, believe it or not, was my suggestion) and that was the first Hooter's I had been to in a couple of years (believe it or not). It was a Friday night and you would figure that Hooter's would roll out the "A" Team but it was about like a preseason NFL game- one or two starters and the rest of them were the second string. We were pretty wore out by this time so we decided to skip the movie (a sure sign of our advancing age) and we went back to her house. We walked the dogs (I guess that is our equivalent of feeding the pigeons) and called it a night. The goal of any date night is spend some time together because life sometimes gets in the way of a lot of togetherness so we did accomplish our goal. I always have fun when I am with her.
