Date Night with My Sweetie!

Good evening!
My sweetie and I just got home from a lovely date night out. We went out and watched a really fun movie, Puss In Boots in 3D. It felt really good to laugh. I mean, laughing out loud, the kind of laugh that makes you happy all over! It was a very cute movie! I am sure it would even be better with kids in tow, but there was a large family sitting next to us, and most of the kids were probably 8 or younger, and those kids made the movie so much more fun! I just LOVE hearing little kids laugh – it is sooooo genuine!! and these kids laughed at ALL of the BEST parts!! 😉 Good times!!

The plan for the rest of this evening is to close the house down early and go climb into bed for some quality quiet time together. It is sorely needed, we have been keeping ourselves a little too busy!

As for the rest of this weekend, my official plan is to turn our alarms off, and see if we can sleep in! After that, it is anyone’s guess! I am feeling rather snuggly, which means that I am really wanting to stay close to home all weekend. I want to cook, clean, create, take a nap or two, maybe read a good book, walk in the rain, maybe go swimming; whatever we want! That really sounds DIVINE!! If only I could find a way to get paid to do that, CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE!!! Oh, man! That would be AWESOME!!! 😉

Anyway, I will keep you posted on how it all goes! I just hope there will be something exciting to be able to share with you. I will keep my camera with me, and I will share with you images from my weekend! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! ;-)

A Short Post Before Hitting the Hay!

Good evening!

I am so tired! My sweetie and I went out with our friends, Dawn and Errin, this evening! We went and saw Captain America, in 3D. Yes, I know we just saw that a few days ago, but anything to hang out with my bestie,  Dawn!! Captain America is super hot! Jason and I are stilled amazed that they were able to make him start out as a puny-pipsqueak-type guy, but turn him into the hunkiest-buff-meisters ever! Yes, you heard me – that is my official geekdom, shining through!!

Anyway, it is EXTREMELY late, and if I don’t climb into bed within the next few minutes I fear I will never be able to get out of bed on time tomorrow morning, and being late for work is just not an option right now!! 😉

Sometimes you just gotta listen to your body, so off to bed I go!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉

NOTE TO CHUNKY DUNKERS: Did you think I would forget about you??? NO WAY!!! I will see you all here tomorrow evening at 7 PM! I can’t wait to hear how everyone is doing!! Toodles until then!! 😉

Another Short & Sweet Post!

Good evening!

I am going to keep this post short this evening! My sweetie and I have just gotten back from the play The Underpants, put on by the Pentacle Theater. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! and we had an ABSOLUTE MARVELOUS TIME!!!

While I go off to dream about the amazing fun and laughter that Jason and I have shared tonight, here are some pictures from this play!

If you ever get the chance to get out to this little theater, I would highly recommend it!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

Monday Night Date Night!

Good evening!

Jason and I have been having some trouble getting some quality time together, so to make up for it, we decided that we would do a Monday night date, and man did we ever have fun!!

First thing we did was head over to the Wild Pear downtown to have some dinner. Jason introduced me to their French Dipped sandwich, and OOH-WEE!!! That was soooo good!! The au jus was SIMPLY LIP-SMACKINGLY GOOD!!!

Jason was patient enough to let me stop and take a bunch of pictures of this bank, which just also happens to be my favorite building downtown. I will make sure to share those pictures tomorrow. What I do want to make sure I point out today is just how LOVELY this purse is that Jason is carrying – it just brings out his eyes!! HAHAHAHA!! What a good hubbie!! 😉

There are so many beautiful little hidey-holes downtown that are absolutely PERFECT for taking a nice picture in!! Jason is standing next to a gigantic vine arbor that grows inside one of the alleyways downtown! I just LOVE how beautiful it is, and isn’t my sweetie so adorable?? Man, I really love that man!! 😉

After walking a little ways, we ran across Jason’s FAVORITE coffee shop. Unfortunately it has closed, and Jason is still really blue about it!! It really was a cool little place, it is a shame that it closed!! 🙁

Oh, but onto brighter news!!! Jason and I happened to be walking by the Pentacle Theatre’s ticket office, and we decided to go inside and see what was playing this Friday.

We saw that it was “The Underpants” written by Steve Martin, one of our favorite funny men, so Jason and I picked up tickets for this Friday night! We both are SOOOO EXCITED, and just CAN’T WAIT!! 😉

Next Jason and I stopped to get something cool to drink together and while we were just chatting it up, I realized that I had lost his attention. “UHMM… helllooooo! I am up here!”

Oh, yes! That is right Mr. Man – you have SOOOO TOTALLY been caught!! LOL!!

We had such a nice time this evening – we really needed that! We both have been spending so much time taking care of others that we somehow forgot that we both need to be tending to each other too!! So, we are making a concerted effort to make sure that we are doing just that – and man, what a GREAT TIME we are having too!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

Thor, Groceries Lists, & Hanging with My Sweetie!

Good evening!

I am having such a GREAT Friday!! Work was good, but I am mostly referring to my evening hanging out with my sweetie! It is Friday, which means it is date night! Tonight Jason took me to Northern Lights for dinner and a movie, and tonight’s movie was Thor. I had really been hemming and hawing about going – it seemed like such a guy-movie, but I am glad he talked me into it, because it was so good! Anyone else see it??? Tell me your thoughts!! 😉

Anyways, Thor was hot – OBVIOUSLY, but his hair color was a little distracting! After I blog tonight I will have to look that actor up and see who he is! That is, if I finish what I am working on now!! I am creating our menu for this upcoming week so that I can go grocery shopping tomorrow while my love is working! Jason and I have been doing a GREAT job eating waaaaay more fruits and vegetables, and our energy levels are showing the effects of eating healthy, so I want to keep that going!!

Grocery list:

  • apples
  • pears
  • strawberries
  • blackberries
  • spring mix lettuce
  • russet potatoes
  • sweet potatoes
  • baby red potatoes
  • garlic
  • celery
  • broccoli
  • bell peppers
  • onion
  • boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ground chicken breast
  • unsweetened apple sauce
  • prunes
  • black beans
  • red beans
  • chili seasoning
  • frozen berries
  • light Cool whip
  • whole wheat bread
  • eggs
  • skim milk
  • light chocolate silk
  • light sour cream
  • mozzarella
  • whole wheat hamburger buns
  • Rice milk

Well, I am sure I can something with all of that!! 😉 I have a bunch of recipe books out all around me, I am wanting to expand our normal repertoire! So, I am having fun looking through all of these books – I am sure Jason thinks I must have lost my mind, but that is alright! 😉 He will enjoy the new foods!! 😉

Anyways, this post is taking much longer than I had planned, so I am going to wrap this up so that I can go spend more time with my sweetie this evening!

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉

I’m Cutting It Close!

Good evening!

I know that it is extremely late, but I haven’t missed blogging at least one post every single day since sometime in mid-December, and there is no way that I am going to let myself break that streak now!!!

I have had a really good day today!! I got up and did my morning pages, as usual. Got dressed and ready, and headed out to watch my niece play soccer, I should have some pics that I can post tomorrow!!! Afterwards, I headed out to the craft store where I did some serious damage to my bank account!!! 😉 and then headed home to meet up with my sweetie so that we could go out on a date.

After picking Jay up, we headed over to Borders for a few hours, and then out to a nice visit where we were able to catch up on our days!! By this time it was kinda late for us, Jason really wanted to go watch the new X-Men movie, and the idea kind of intrigued me, so the new spontaneous Christina, said, “Why not?” So off we went!!

Well, I am so glad we did! It was such a good movie, with a great cast of characters! I highly recommend getting out there and watching it!!!

Well, until tomorrow, when I am not so pressed to beat the clock…

Have a FABULOUS evening!!!

Wrapping Up a Delicious Day!!

Good evening!

I have had a VERY SWEET Friday hanging out with my sweetie! We stopped at the craft store so I could get some missing supplies. After which my car battery decided to conk out, and my mother-in-law very sweetly came to give us a jump, so in turn, as a way to say thank you, we took her out to lunch and had a very nice visit with her!!

Next Jason went to the pet store to get the dogs some treats, while I headed over to St Vincent’s to see if I could find anything that might help me organize my craft room – no luck today! BUT, Jason and I quickly met back up again, and we headed over to Borders to do some book perusing!! I bought a few books, one of which was a book on Uncluttering my life, which I will tell you about in another post, but was really ironic, because I have been going through some SERIOUS shopping issues right now!! I can’t say that I am a shop-a-holic, but when you have so much stuff that you are bringing it in faster than you can get it back out – that is a problem!!

I have psychoanalyzed myself and have decided that what is happening is that throughout the past 8 weeks, while working on uncovering my inner artist, I have discovered that there really was a different me inside than what I was letting show on the outside. So, what I think I have been doing now, is letting her shine a little more! My style is softening up and becoming more girly, my hobbies, and free-time activities have really changed, and I have been re-stocking supplies (so to speak) to support the new me, HOWEVER I haven’t let go of the old me and all of her trappings yet!! In all honesty I am a little scared! Old Christina has been around for such a long time that it almost feels kind of like a death, which is ok, I just have to get some support as I get my environment in new Christina shape, while getting rid of anything that doesn’t honor my authentic self, which includes all of this old clutter!!

My sweetie has told me that he would help support me/cheer me on, while I pack up boxes and make some serious headway in getting rid of all of the un-me things in this house, tomorrow morning!! Which is EXACTLY what I am needing. I think I am finally at a place where I am cool with letting go of those old disappointments, unfinished projects, unread books, unworn clothes, craft supplies, etc. etc. etc. You know, all of the miscellaneous stuff that I have been holding onto just because “I might need it someday!” So, I am hoping to be able to post some serious before, during, and after pics tomorrow of some of the areas I am going to tackle! I would like to see, by Sunday evening, some SERIOUS progress having been made!! I will keep you posted!! 😉

Where was I? Oh yes, back to today! After we left Borders, with new books in hand, we stopped at another craft store – I am in search of a mini crown rubber stamp, and for some reason am not finding any!! Anyway, next we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some deli sandwich, that we used  for a light dinner when we got home. YUM!! and finally, we watched Gnomio and Juliet, which was such a cute movie, but I must confess, I may never look at gnomes the same way again!!! LOL! 😉

I am excited to see what tomorrow brings, I know we have a date night with some good friends of ours tomorrow evening, so that will be fun!!

Until tomorrow…

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

As Promised!

Good morning!

As my hubby and I finish up and get ready to head out for the day, I thought I would stop and take a moment to post those pics I had promised from last night’s belly dancing performers!

Yes, she is actually dancing on top of glass!! AMAZING! 😉

We really did have such a GREAT time last night!! The costumes were beautiful, the dancers varied and extremely talented, the music was energetic, and the room was just electric! I can’t wait until it is MY turn to get out there and show my MOVES, but first I had better get out there and keep practicing so that I can HAVE moves!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS day! 😉

Belly Dancer’s ROCK!!!

Good evening!

Tonight my sweetie and I had the most fun going to a club tonight to watch a bunch of belly dancing performers and troops shimmy, shake, pop, and wave! To say we had fun was quite the understatement. I mean, just look at this man’s face!!

Does this look like a man who is NOT having fun!?!?!?!? LOL!! 😉

The performers were just BREATH-TAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, and I am so envious of their dancing – I can NOT WAIT to get to that level of ability!!

Instead of spending time tonight posting pictures, seeing that it is so EXTREMELY late, I am going to say goodnight! I will post tonight’s pictures first thing in the morning!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
