Date Night

I don't feel like I'm too hard to impress when it comes to date night, and for all the other intricacies I have, my husband can at least be grateful that he doesn't need to do much to show me a good time.

I used to read this blog called The Dating Divas that I saw from Pinterest.  I think I got there from a picture of popsicle sticks that had different date activities on them.  But as I read it, I quickly realized that it was not for me.  The time planning and the money invested just wasn't something for my energy or financial budgets.  (Not to say that the site has nothing to offer.  I mean, if you're the kind of person who likes gimmicks like movie-themed dates and dates that require supplies you don't typically keep around the house, then by all means, it's a great place for ideas.  I'm just not into that.)

But I am into coffee.  Mmmmmm..... yum.

I also like a good Chinese meal... as in, not a yucky, greasy buffet meal. 

And I'm a sucker for a good deal.

So, on Thursday, while my mother-in-law was in town, Billy and I hit the town and used coupons and a refillable mug and had an amazing time together.

We hit up Mei Wei, which of course, if fast food Chinese, but not greasy like the one in the mall.  Billy bought me a meal and got his own for free, which then made me think we needed to add egg rolls since we saved so much money.  This was actually probably the lowlight of the night.  Mei Wei egg rolls are not really worth it.  But everything else was yummy.

So, we had a great time.  BUT if that wasn't enough... we hit up Atlanta Bread afterward for their coffee.  Their coffee is right on par with the famous Donut Bank of Evansville.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  Anyone who has not had donuts from the Donut Bank has no idea what donuts are meant to be.  They are incredible.  Unfortunately, they are also very focused in one city in the middle America.  So, I'm glad to have ABC where I can at least get an incredibly yummy cup of coffee.

True to form, ABC started their closing procedures at 8:30, so by 9:05, we were pretty much being escorted out the door.  Even still, it was probably the longest date we've been on in .... ever.  Usually we rely on Awana for babysitting, so our dates are all of 90 minutes.  But this week, we got to enjoy 4 hours together.  It was a quality time lover's dream come true.

Then we watched 3 episodes of Battlestar Galactica because after all, I love my husband.
