Date Night + Other Deets

On Friday night, DW and I had a Double Date night with Bob and Greta at a local Mexican food place called Frio En La Paz.  While we were getting ready for said date, I walked in the room and said to DW, "Show me your best sexy face..." and this is how the picture turned out.  I guess sexiness is relative.  Ha!  And just because he ruined my sexy picture, I'm now sharing it with the world.  Or with the 12 people that read my blog anyway.  ;-)

After dinner, we headed to grab coffee at a coffee shop on our way to a bluff overlooking the city of Birmingham.  How Bob and Greta knew about this, I decided, was because it must have been an old college makeout spot.  Just sayin.  But they were right, the view was beautiful and the night was juuuust chilly enough to be perfect to have the coffee.

Post dinner and former-college-makeout-spot, we ended up back at our house where I learned, we were in fact, taking the next step in our friendship because I hadn't picked up one thing all week and all of our furniture was rearranged because our dining room hardwoods were being re-stained since our roof leaked.  Thank you roofing company for doing the right thing.  It only took you 4.5 months.  But that's neither here nor there.  My point is, you know you're real friends when your house is a mess and you haven't vacuumed up the dog hair and you let them, after much bullying, come over anyway. 

The good news is we got a thumbs up on our new couch for the den.  Carter seal of approval.

In other news, I had several cancellations today for work so I made today THE day that I finally bit the bullet and painted our dining room and front entry the color I've been dreaming of since move in day.  Let's just say that the color Dillweed is just as attractive as it sounds and I got tired of eating in a Dillweed dining room. 

I'm quite happy with the results.

Speaking of happy, my stomach is not.  DW and I went over his lunch break to our local Organic Market and picked up an Immune Boost for our lunch.  This "Immune Boost" was a whole-food juice mixture that included but was not limited to the following: beets, carrots, apple, ginger, lemon zest, garlic, and last but not least...cayenne pepper.  Here is what we thought of that:

We are pretty sure that this is the concoction they use for Vampire movies when it looks like the characters are drinking blood.  It did indeed look like we were having a good ol' gulp of O- for our lunch.  And my stomach hates me.  Have I mentioned that?  Well, it does.  There is a Gremlin living in there now, I'm pretty sure.

Finally, this should be considered my first post of 2011 that is getting back to the "basics" of sharing the day-to-day tomfoolery that is our lives...among other thoughts, spiritual questions and seeking, and other randomness.

The End.
