When I think about how long Hubby and I been together, I just marvel. 16 years as a couple, 14 of those married. First of all, I’m blown away by how quickly time passes. Secondly, it amazes me that we’re still best friends and enjoy the simple moments together, no matter where we are or what we’re doing. So many couples I know tire of each other after only a few years. I pray that never happens to us.
K-Mart’s Little Caesars probably ranks highest amongst the most unromantic eateries to take your date, but despite the surroundings, Hubby and I can manage to enjoy it, simply for the company — oh, and for the Crazy Bread. Dinner for two: $8.35. How can you beat that? However, I must admit that spending too much time there might make me reconsider the desire to have kids. For some reason, there is a high saturation of unruly children toddling about noisily, largely unsupervised.
A trip to Borders was next on the agenda. I spent the entire visit in the photography section seeking a book to help me “pose” groups. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything that I was in love with, so I picked up a book for $19.95 with my $25 gift card to show me the ins-and-outs of my Canon Digital Rebel. No out of pocket on this shopping trip. Yee-haw.
We browsed around the LeSportsac and Bass Outlet, but I found myself with buyer’s remorse even before buying anything, so my wallet managed to escape this trip to the mall miraculously unscathed.
This has to be some kind of record for the cheapest night out that we’ve ever had. Normally, we can’t get through a Friday night out without spending at least $50. Hooray for cheap dates!
