fountain of youth...

wanna know the secret to staying young? don't get married... for a long time. i know, you're thinking it can't possibly be that easy. but observe...

my husband and i are not quite 30 yet. we married at age 20. we recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary.

october 16th: our anniversary, a thursday
itinerary: nothing. hello, we do not go out on weeknights.
what really happened: nothing. hello, we do not go out on weeknights.

october 17th: the day after our anniversary, a friday
itinerary: to check out the nearby star cinema grill, a place where you can catch the newest flicks, get a nice steak dinner (or whatever you're finding palatable), and enjoy said movie without screaming children (or the parents that think it's okay to bring 5 year olds to "r" rated movies) or the pubescents that laugh when a character in the movie says how many balls do you have? okay, so i still laugh...
what really happened: i got my nails done. it took longer than i expected so we couldn't make the 7:40pm show. i suggested (half-heartedly) the 10:15pm show. hubby says negatory... suggests actual dinner, and then movie. i agreed. we went to dinner at TGIFridays. as we're finishing our dinner around 9pm, we're both looking at each other, trying to decide how to tell the other that we really don't feel like a movie since it's so late.
