hot date

my husband and i have a date tonight.

thanks to my mother's presence at home with the girls, we are able to go out as a couple, instead of as parental units with family in tow. tonight should be a little more exciting than last week when we ended up shoe shopping--even if we did get a pair of shoes free. we are not the kind of people who find shoe shopping particularly exciting or romantic.

this time, we're taking reinforcements: noel and nancy.

we're gonna get hibachi dinners and drink sake water all night long.

and then i'm gonna take friday off to recover because i'm old.
