Tonight my husband and I had a double date with a friend of ours who is newly engaged and her fiancee. We met up at the new Applebee's at 6:30. While Applebee's in most places isn't anything special, in our small town it has become a VERY big deal. It's grand opening was this weekend and the wait was an hour and 1/2. We were all hungry so we left to go to Shaker's which had a 45 minute wait. Finally someone (I think my husband) suggested IHOP where there is never a wait. We all laughed and then said "SURE!" It was SO good. I had a rooty, tooty, fresh and fruity. Instead of mixed drinks, we had a carafe of orange juice. The dinner was actually great and we all laughed a lot. It was nice to have adult conversation as opposed to "aaaaaaaaaaaaaahh gaga gaaaaa". We were going to see a movie but my husband wasn't interested in my chick flick choices so we went to Barnes and Noble and had Starbucks and I caught up on the celeb gossip. An all around wild evening!
As we were rushing around tonight before we left making sure the house was clean, everything was ready for the baby-sitter, I was pumping, and feeding Jackson applesauce, etc. I looked at my husband and said "Remember when every weekend we'd say 'Let's go out!' and then we'd just leave?" We both kind of laughed. Going out with a baby requires so much effort that I almost prefer a quiet night at home with a movie and popcorn.
My husband and I when life was a little more carefree (but not nearly as WONDERFUL as Jackson makes it now) in North Carolina.

Oh yes, I remember the carefree days when a trip to Target didn't require planning and all I needed for a 3 hour road trip was MY suitcase, not an SUV full of crap.
Cute pic, BTW.
Isn't that the truth? Wait until you have 2.... LOL!
