Last night we treated ourselves to date night. Ted spent hours at home hanging pictures, working on some stuff around the apartment, and trying to get our wayward printer to work since he had the day off for Veteran’s Day. I worked at the museum where there were approximately 1 billion people, a full parking lot, and then the credit card machines went down. It was fabulous. I was frusterated trying to work out Christmas flights with my work schedule, Ted was frusterated with a printer with a mind of its own, so we decided to put our troubles behind us and enjoy an evening out together. Luckily for us we have free movie passes from a movie we went to see a few months ago that stopped working at the end of the film, and two Groupon deals that expire soon. We opted to head to Eastgate mall for 3 rounds of glow-in-the-dark black light lunar mini golf and dinner at O’Charley’s. Lunar golf was fun and free because of the Groupon and then I sunk my ball into the prize winning hole at the end of the game and won us another free round for a future visit. Score! In the mall they had a group selling baby sugar bears (aka sugar gliders), which we learned are marsupials and have hair instead of fur so they are hypo-allergenic and dander free, so we played with them for a while and we absolutely fell in love! Finally, an animal Ted likes too that we could actually own because he played with it, then rubbed his eyes and he isn’t allergic to them! After our sugar bear fix we enjoyed a leisurely meal of burger and fries (Ted) and steak and broccoli (me) at O’Charley’s before heading home and into bed by 10:30. Yes, we’re lame. But we didn’t think about work or flights even once so it was just perfect. Some days you really do just need to go out, relax and have a good time. How was your Friday night? As wild and crazy as ours?
