Date Night

Date Night? Really? Another blog about a date night? Well this is short sweet and a bit different.
Our history: Troy and I dated many years ago, but I broke his heart and we moved on. Only to move back to each other 6 years later. Ok enough of the sappy! When we dated the first go round, we would snuggle in on my little bitty couch and watch what Troy calls "girly tv" (it was a 17" screen, whats wrong with that???). I remember the night we made popcorn for dinner and some chocolate pie and popped Beauty and The Beast into the VHS machine (no high def, no DVD, no surround sound and no flat screens).

I HATE going to the movies and encourage Troy to go on his days off to see what he wants. Troy and I have been married almost two years and this will have been the 2nd movie we have gone to see together. I don't like that my bathroom isn't around the corner, I don't like that I cant pause the movie to talk and I don't like that there are other people around me doing things that I want to be nosy and see/hear.

So we decided with 20 minutes til show time that we were going to hop on over and watch Beauty and The Beast in 3D. Just as sappy, sweet and lovey as we remembered.

Here are a few photo souvenirs from tonight.

Oh did I tell you that we were the only ones in the theater?!!? How romantic (puke!)

February Photo A Day Challenge

I have been following this blog for about a week or so, Nose In A Book. What caught my eye on her blog were all the fun and funky photos. Then I saw that she was doing a "random" Photo A Day. I was disappointed that I had missed most of January but sooo excited when she posted that she is going to do it in February.

Well, I am such a copy cat, I asked if I could play along. I am a few days behind but will catch up in the next post or two.  So keep checking her blog out to see what she is posting each day and lets have some fun!!

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. If money wasn't an issue, the first thing I'd cross of my life list is purchase a new house with more space with lots of storage and room to spread out. Seems like the house just keeps getting smaller and smaller.

2. Miracle Whip and Queso on a hot dog is something I like that other people think is weird.

3. If my life were a movie right now, the title would be "Sleepless in Houston and ready to Work"

4. Three things I am looking forward to this month are my new job starting next week, the surprise that I know will pull out of his hat for Valentines and making minor changes to our office and bedroom.

5. My favorite song to sing in the shower is Purple Rain by Prince or Fat Bottom Girls by Queen.

6. If I found out that the production of Frozen Chicken Potstickers was ending this month, I'd go out and buy as much as I could tomorrow.

7. One thing I'll never grow tired of is looking forward to those nights that Troy and I can just snuggle in. Our time together is so weird with his work hours and my upcoming hours.... come home honey ;-) .

15 Questions

So there are a few blogs that I like to follow and they do a "Fill in the blank Friday". I have ripped their questions off a few times I must admit. Go check out the legit "Fill in the blank Friday" gals at The Little Things We Do, Everybody Needs a Little Sugar and Beans and Ink.

I decided to take a different spin and hope that you play along. I picked 15 random questions and would love for you to comment on what your answers would be.

**** **** **** **** ****

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
My Paternal Grandmother- Carrie Louise (oh yeah and I am the one grandchild that looks just like her)

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I am sooo cold hearted I don't remember the last time I cried. I guess back before Christmas when I found out that the company I was working for was downsizing and I was out to look for a new job again.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
It does its job. I have yet to master cursive.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Prefer sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese to meat on my sandwich

5. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
BFF's! I would have myself laughing all the time.

6. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
Yep. Could you not tell from the last answer?

7. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes

8. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Nope-- I am K R A Z Y, but not that crazy!

9.  WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Cheerios and Grape Nuts mixed with a bit of Sweet N Low

10. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
No, but I can remember my HS track coach saying that not untying them would ruin the shoes. I say give me flip flops.

11. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Strong willed. I can hardly carry my purse, but I will sure tell you exactly how to carry yours.

If they are speaking, I notice their voice. I could listen to a gentlemen with a Georgia or South Carolina accent for hours reading from the phone book.
