In which I do not take advantage of The King being out of townMarch 25th, 2008 @ 7:01 am
The King drove three hours to Portland last night to see The Cult in concert. One of his good friends from college lives down in Portland and they thought this concert would be the perfect chance to reunite. This meant that Babboo and I had the entire night to ourselves. It as like our own private slumber party.
Early yesterday afternoon I decided that Babboo and I would take advantage of not having to be home to prepare dinner and would go out to eat at the local Cheesecake Factory. All by ourselves. I daydreamed about what I would order for dinner. I also gave my dessert options a lot of thought.
Unfortunately I forgot that I was also meeting Kathleen (and baby Elanor) for lunch yesterday. So by the time dinner time rolled around, I just wasn’t hungry for a huge plate of Cheesecake Factory fare. Crap.
I guess Babboo and I will just have to find something else to do to bide our time.
Hey, that was easy. Hang out at the local bookstore in the kids section. Grab a few gossip mags for Mommy. Let the night float away.
Pretty much I admit that this is better then stuffing my face at the Cheesecake Factory. Plus, we ended up making French toast for dinner. I’m loving French toast these days. (And so is Babboo.)
The King made it home safely from Portland at about 2am this morning. When I woke him up for work before I headed out the door, he assured me that he got enough sleep. I’m thinking that come lunch time today he’ll be wanting a nap.
You know what I’ll be wanting come lunch time today? The little box full of St. Patrick’s Day candy that I got from my Secret Sister last week. After three weeks of doing fun little Secret Sisters gifts, the big reveal took place last Tuesday night. Of course I was busy seeing “Mamma Mia!” with internet buddies and missed the reveal evening at the church.
For those that want to know what I ended up giving my Secret Sister…well, the second week I gave her a little black and white bag from the blogger mecca, also known as Sephora. Inside was my favorite gold eyeliner. (I love giving this little eyeliner!) Last week I gave my Secret Sister an awesome mix tape CD with my fave Rhett Miller and Old 97’s tunes. I gave her the CD on Sunday at church during my own little mini-reveal. She wrote me yesterday and told me she loves the CD. I’m not surprised. I had a blast doing the Secret Sister and can’t wait until they do that again.
And for those of you that want to know if anyone I know in real life delurked to tell me they read my site…yeah well, nobody did. I’m not surprised, really. I mean, would you delurk if you had found someone’s blog you knew in real life?
I probably wouldn’t.

Babboo and I made the trek to my aunt’s house on Saturday to dye Easter Eggs. It’s my latest New Thing. The experience turned out just about as good as I thought it would.

My exboyfriend LOVES the Cult. I’m going to email him and ask if he went.
Anyway, I ate enough for both of us at the Cheesecake Factory yesterday. And, I HIGHLY recommend you never, ever go there during spring break. It was a damn zoo.

But now you need to tell me about this gold eyeliner!

I would NEVER delurk with someone I knew in real life…oh wait, I already did. And I’m glad.

Your night with Babboo sounds divine to me! (My standards for an awesome night? Are very low.)

I totally lurk on the blog of a woman from my ward. I wonder if she knows….. I like to ignore her in real life, so i don’t want her to know that I secretly read her blog.
Cheesecake Factory is my friend. They just built one in Salt lake.
Secret Sisters sound fun. Maybe I’ll just make my own Secret Sister. Pick my own victim. Ha! Am genius.

Sounds like a fun night! I am starting to see the benefits of encouraging my hubbie to have a guys night out. I love to put the kids to bed, then watch WHATEVER I WANT. So nice! I think I might have to start planning a boys trip with his brothers for him…. it would be nice to have a little break!

Shaun and I always take Zach to Barnes & Noble to play with the trains! It’s free entertainment for all of us. Not to mention their kids section is freakin’ awesome!
