Dates and refrigerators

I hope all of you had a great weekend. We had a great one.

On Friday, Becca and I picked Laura up from school and surprised her with a trip to Baskin Robbins and the skate park. The weather was a little chilly, but Laura insisted on going. She loves the park, even though she was the only girl in the whole place. I must say, the guys at the park were very nice to her. Oh oh, maybe that's why she wanted to go? Just realized that. Must think about this later. Ha Ha.

Saturday we had piano/violin lessons and then went on our search for a refrigerator. We found one at Lowe's that was on sale. They delivered it the next day. Saturday night, we went on the best date we have had in years. Jen and Scott so generously, provided us with a gift certificate to the Blue Vervain, for Christmas. We used it Saturday night.

I wish we had not gotten quite so dressed up as I was the only lady in the whole place with a dress on, well there was one other elderly lady sporting a dress. We sat down, next to the window, at a table for two. We had been there for about two minutes, when Laura's Principal walked in. She did not recognize me as Laura's mom, instead, she introduced me to the waitress as the "String Teacher". She asked if we came there often. I thought to myself. "$35.00 - $40.00 a plate. No, we do not come here often". She said she came all the time as she lived close by.

I got a wonderful salad with apples and blue cheese. Tom got a Jalapeno Caesar salad. I ordered the sea bass and it was fabulous. Tom ordered the Fillet Mignon and he said it was wonderful. Both were covered in chimichurri. It was soooo yummy. We ended our feast with Chocolate Beet Cake with Beet Ice Cream put on the side. I know it doesn't sound so good, but it was REALLY good. I can't say I would order the Beet Ice Cream alone, but it was good to try.

We came home well fed and we cherished the time we had, just the two of us.

On Sunday, Becca and I went to the Baptism class. Becca will be baptised, by Tom, on Easter Sunday. We came home and started cleaning the old fridge. so the new one could be delivered. Becca helped me so much and worked so hard. Laura went to a birthday party and while I was gone, the fridge. was delivered. Becca and Tom handled the delivery and Becca was so excited. She put everything back in the new fridge and she was so very proud of the water and ice in the door. She just loves this thing. You would think we had a new car.

Today marks the start of a two week subbing stretch. That means a week of twelve hour days. On Saturday I am to run a 5k. Can you say TIRED? I can't think of it that way. I have to just take one day at a time.
