Lukewarm

Remember how I said I had a HOT date? 'Member that? Well, read the title of this post. Yeah. Not so hot. Fun? Yes. As only an old married couple can have fun. HOT? Not so much. I KNOW how you all have been waiting for the details. By all I mean none. Anyway, giddy with excitement, I got ready to go out, even ~~almost~~ avoiding all thoughts of "I hate every piece of clothing in my wardrobe." I even put on make-up.

So, guess what we did first? No...GUESS! We went to WAL-MART! How's that for a HOT date? We stopped over at the Wal-mart across town to get a layaway out. Then we were off to Carlos O'Kelly's.

I really like their food, but the deciding factor for why we chose there to eat was it was NOT busy. I HATE waiting 45 minutes to an hour to get in somewhere to eat. We walked right in and got a table in the bar. They didn't even card us! Can you IMAGINE them thinking I look a day over 21?? I proceeded to eat my weight in chips and salsa. Their chips are the best around and I had myself one of those frozen alkeehol drinks. Raspberry margarita...mmmm.. I had one of those sampler platter things for dinner. You know the kind with a few things ending in -ito and -ada and -eans and -ice.

From dinner, we drove by the movie theater. What? You expected us to go IN and actually watch a movie? No, really, we drove by to see what was playing. Nothing worth paying full price for so on we went to our next date destination. As we headed that way, I was TOTALLY feeling the alcohol from that ONE margarita and Bubba contemplated going home right then for the sex-shul relashuns. I said contemplated.

Who wants to guess where we went next? You, in the front, with your hand up. What's your guess? That's right...WAL-MART!! Seriously, two visits to two different wal-marts in the course of one "date." Only in Indiana, people. Only in Indiana.

This time it was a visit to the wal-mart on our side of town to put ANOTHER layaway in. The chil'ren need some church clothes don't ya know. Mama got herself a couple of new things as well. Much to Bubba's happiness, a couple of things might just show a little cleavage. Might, I said. Might. After wandering around there for a while and purchasing two pieces of cheesecake, (all mine!), we headed home in the rain.

Once home, we watched "Hitch" which I hadn't seen yet (Kevin James and Will Smith, gotta love that!) and decided who was more tired and Bubba went to bed as I tried to fight sleep a little while longer.

Pure romance, people.

Hey, we've done Walmart dates, too! Gotta love Walmart. LOL

Hubby and I actually just got back from the World's Worst Mexican Restaurant. I mean, we stopped at the grocery store afterward to buy some Tums...it was THAT bad.

So add me to the "date flop" list!
