On Date Night with the Marine

Why, yes, my favorite color is green. How'd you know?

Last weekend when the Niece had off, the Marine and I had a date night. Nothing extravagant--we didn't get dressed up or go to an expensive restaurant.

We went to a movie at the theater on base.

It was the first night in a long time we got to just be together without worries.

The Niece stayed home with the Munchkin, and the Marine and I enjoyed a couple of mindless hours watching Green Lantern.

Have I mentioned how awesome my husband is?

He didn't even complain when I drooled a little.

What could be better than a night with my Marine and Ryan Reynolds in skintight green?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

On A Day of Relaxation

Yesterday, my BFF was here visiting from the Pacific Northwest, and for the first time in what seems like ages we spent a day relaxing...sort of.

We didn't sit around in our pajamas or anything. In fact, we were out of the house by 0845 and on our way in Palm Springs.

Our day was spent watching movies, eating chocolate and drinking beer. What had originally been slated as a day of wine tasting changed into a day of beer tasting.

We're flexible.

It was an exciting and fun day all around.

Can I just say, Collin Farrell made a gorgeous vampire...up until he grew shark teeth...

Yes, this is sexy...until he unhinges his jaw...

...and Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beer is mighty tasty...

Hope you've had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Did you do anything exciting?
