my hot date

saturday, in the midst of reading our books, the hubby took me out on a date. we went to a local putt-putt course and had a little competition. i don't know what i was thinking, but i brought my giant, red purse with me and it just doesn't help your aim when you have a bulging purse banging against your right arm. i finally resorted to setting the purse on the very dirty ground before i putted each time, and ended up getting a hole in one!! the hubby couldn't believe i actually got a hole in one with such a horrible putt (the ball was actually starting to roll back towards me, but then magically rolled the other way and into the hole). after that, i felt sorry for my dear hubby and started hitting the golf ball 4 or 5 times before i let it go in the hole. well, maybe i should be honest: i didn't do it on purpose and my game did get that bad, so the hubby won the game.

trying to recuperate from my losses, i mischievously led the hubby inside towards the air hockey tables. my mom had taught me well when i was little, and i knew that i could beat him at air hockey. the first game was a complete shut out in my favor, but the second was a huge win for the hubby. we decided to call it a day and went to the mall to do some christmas shopping.

we have two nieces and a brand new nephew that we bought pajamas for from gap kids and we also bought a santa sack for the hubby from pottery barn kids. we were hoping that we wouldn't run into anyone that we knew who might start a rumor if they saw us with a bunch of baby and kid store bags, so we decided to hide inside pottery barn. they had some really cool picture frames on sale and we bought a giant one, just so we could have a giant bag to hide our other purchases in.

all that shopping left us tired and starving, and we barely managed to make it to the sushi house before i fell asleep. there is nothing like a little wasabi to bring the wifey back to life, though. we shared hot tea, some soup, a california roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. all in all, i’d say it was a pretty good date night, wouldn’t you?

Ahhh... to have that sort of freedom again. I'm jealous. We did just get back from our extended no-kids, house hunting day though, which was very nice.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day! K

That sounds like a great date to me. And you've learned the golden rule about married life - let the hubby win sometimes :)
