Girl Dates

I have two girl dates this week.

Thursdays are usually my nights to sit at home by myself all quiet and cozy and watch tv or read a book. But tonight I am actually going out with a girlfriend. The crazy part is that I actually got another invitation to hang out with some other friends tonight too but had already committed to the first friend. Again, usually I just say no on Thursday nights altogether. I think the key is to get me to commit to going out before I am actually sitting on the couch. Once I'm there, 'aint no gettin' me off.

So tonight we're going out for Indian food, coffee and then a dress rehearsal for a sweet musical. Strangely, I don't believe I have ever seen West Side Story before at all. Just clips and pieces here and there. Plus we got free tickets so that is sweet also!


Saturday I get to go on a shopping date. My hubby is a decent shopper, but just doesn't cut it compared to any of the girls. He's better with the groceries than the fun shopping. I will have to set myself a budget...I can tend to go overboard just a smidge. But I have an allowance for this month and I can do whatever I want with it! And it will probably be gone by Saturday afternoon! What am I saying, probably!? It will definitely be gone! Though that's not that bad, Andy's used up all of his allowance on the first of the month!

What! Your hubby likes shopping? Do you drug him first? What's your secret? I just can't get the hubby to like it at all.

anne said...

For clothing/mall/stuff shopping he is fine and licks it for about an hour. Or until the list is completed. Whichever comes first.

Groceries are about the same. He's fun for about an hour or so. But if the list is done, we don't get to browse.

And yes, I do drug him first. Or bribe him. A woman holds much power. ; )

he does do well with bribes, doesn't he? hehe!!

anne said...

Absolutely. And he's ok with this. He knows when he's getting bribed. He likes the bribes. And he will very work hard to get them. :)

woah - I jumped into these comments at an awekward time! :)

Anne - sounds super fun! Have a great time tonight - I've seen that musical...let me see...once live and at least 11 times on video (I used to teach it - so it isn't as bad as it sounds) and I've never gotten sick of it. Of course Chita Rivera is in the movie version, so that's a plus. Anywho - I'm sure you'll love it! Have a great time!
