Date Night

So...Robbie took me on a date last night. We dropped Ivy off at Robbie's Mom's house and first went to my Dr's appointment. Everything is fine and normal - no surprise there. My pregnancies are pretty uneventful. (I'm not complaining) Then we went for a walk in Veteran's Memorial Park. We found a shady spot to sit and talk and watch the clouds, and we realized that on one side of us was a big group of homeless people with their bikes and bags just hanging out. A little uncomfortable because they looked mean, but I didn't want to judge so we stayed. About 5 minutes later, two totally drunk people sat down 10 feet away from us and started to cuddle as best they could for being drunk. That park is HUGE -- right next to us, really?!?! But again, I don't want to judge so I set aside being uncomfortable and stayed. But then about 5 minutes later, we look over and see one of the homeless people peeing onto a tree. And...we were done. So we headed to dinner a little early. We NEVER go out to dinner - so I was so excited that Robbie was okay with it. He even said I got to pick whatever I wanted. So, we went to Olive Garden. I ordered the chicken Marsala because all of a sudden nothing really sounded good. When they brought it out, and I took my first bite - I thought I was going to seriously throw up. I'm sure it was great, but baby did NOT think so. So - we kindly asked the waiter if we could get something else, and he said yes, so I ordered the salmon. By the time it came out, Robbie was finished and I wasn't hungry anymore, so I had to box up the whole dinner. The ONE time I get to go out to eat and my tummy decides it doesn't want something expensive and delicious. Grrrrr. So we decided to see what was playing at the dollar theater instead. We saw that "Land of the Lost" was starting in like 5 minutes, so we decided to go for it. About 15 - 20 minutes into the movie, we decide that it was too inappropriate and we left. Isn't that FUNNY?! It was just one thing after another. And what made it REALLY funny was that the last date Robbie and I tried to go on, our car broke down and we spent the entire date trying to fix it. Good times. :)

BUT...to be completely honest, I still had fun on both those dates because I was with Robbie. I would SO rather be doing nothing with Robbie than something exciting where everything goes perfect with someone else. :) Love you babe - thanks for the date!

AND...it was all totally worth it because Robbie's Mom offered to take Ivy over night. So, it all worked out and it was a great evening! Thanks again MOM! XOXO

GRRRR.... I am totally growling for you. (applause) Way to go for keeping a posotive attitude, even when you saw some guy peeing on a tree. Those are my favorite memories, the ones where nothing goes the way you plan but you just end up appreciating the one you are doing things with!

Wow - I wish I could say that I was so close to the spirit that I was prompted to take Ivy for the night...but nope it was totally selfish motives!!! :-) We had a great time!!! :-D
