Date night
Hey friends!
We survived our first winter storm here in Denver.
Crazy to think that we got almost 8 inches of snow yesterday. We guess, go BIG or go HOME. Right? Right.
There was still a good amount of snow on our balcony this morning so we thought it would make for a pretty backdrop for our blueberry smoothie.
(Warning: If you happen to take pictures outside on your balcony in your nightey with snow all around you, people will stare. And giggle. And stare some more.)
Since we are complete bonehead and forgot about the pumpkin muffins We made for last Saturdays watch party, we decided to throw half of a muffin on top of the smoothie for an extra kick. The texture and sweetness were a reliable match to the fruit smoothie. Plus, the chocolate chips weren’t to shabby either. Dessert for breakfast, yes please!
Knowing that our beloved Kitties are playing OU this weekend (God we hope we win), we decided to show our Wildcat pride in todays work outfit. In case you didn’t know, we are extremely superstitious.
Back in the olden days we were a softball pitcher (you may laugh), and every time we took the mound we would begin our “ritual”. We would hold our glove a certain way. We would wipe our forehead from left to right, tug our left pant leg, all in hopes that we would throw a strike. It was all dramatic and probably ridiculous, but to us it was calming and it worked.
Okay, where was we?
Oh yes, purple pride. Since K-State has been on a winning streak, our superstition has gone through the roof. We have been wearing some kind of purple attire on Thursday, followed by wearing this tee every Saturday. You can call us crazy, but for now, it’s working and we are not about to mess with that juju.
Besides the fact that our shirt is purple, it is also from our favorite store, PINK. If you have never shopped at a PINK store, it’s a must. The only one we have been too is San Fran, but we are pretty sure Uncle Nordies carries some of their items. Anyways, their shirts are memorable. We love this particular shirt because of the herring bone stitching and cuff links. So major.
Boot camp did not happen tonight. There were scheduling conflicts (i. e. We had a bazillion things to do and it was make up session) so we decided that we didn’t need to go. Don’t get us wrong, we love boot camp. But the thought of getting stuff done around the apartment, while waiting for Mr. B to get home for date night sounded waaaaaay better. This is why we love our husband. We sent him a text at 2:15pm this afternoon. The conversation goes… Me: Do u want us to make dinner or order out Gumbo’s or get Illegal Pete’s tonight? Mr. B: Whatever you are hungry for. Wanna eat out somewhere? Me: Ooooh…. like a date? Mr. B: Or we can go tomorrow when you don’t have to workout Me: Good point. But we also don’t feel like cooking tonight. Rats Mr. B: Yay! Date night. Me: Really? We are good at making reservations. Mr. B: Pull the trigger! Me: Do it. Me: Coral Room at 8pm:) Mr. B: Sweet! The Coral Room was fantastic. We have been dying to go to this restaurant in Highlands, oh-for-like-ever! The food is a mix of Asian and American cuisine, probably two of our favorite combinations. Also, their happy hour is rated one of a favorite in Denver (need to come back from that). We started with a bottle of Syrah. These past couple of weeks have been crazy for Mr. B since Kinder Morgan merged with El Paso. We think he is finally starting to see some light on what may happen with his job. This time next year we could be visiting him in Europe! For appetizers we shared prawns that were fried in a coconut batter with a peanut dipping sauce alongside, as well as some beef spring rolls. For our entree we had the pork loin and Mr. B had the ahi tuna. The tuna was memorable! Dang it. We knew we should have ordered it. Once we arrived home from dinner, we cuddled on the couch. We love date night. Need to do it more often. Nite!
