Happy Weekend, Y’all! I created a guest post for Corey at Learning Patience today. She’s off on her dream vacation, so she asked me to write about my dream vacation. If you’re interested (or not), you should check it out on her blog.
I do have a little info for you here about my date night last night. See, Kev and I don’t do many official date nights.
- I think planned date nights can sometimes end up awkward and rigid.
- We usually prefer to save our $$$ when it’s just the 2 of us and party with friends when we go out on the town.
But this was really fun! First off… I started the day with my cool boots! I also wore them to dinner.
Then we hit up one of our favorite restaurants after work. (I had a Groupon!)
We both had a glass of a fabulous wine that we can only find at this restaurant (and wine.com), and we split the goat-cheese stuffed red peppers. Wow. Delicious!
For dinner, I ordered the sausage gnocchi. The homemade gnocchi was puffy and definitely better than the packaged stuff. Kevin had the veal piccata.
As you can see – we hated it. 
When we got home, we had the first fire of the season and watched Artois the Goat on Hulu. I recommend this movie. It’s a very dry humor (and kind of stupid), but it was really funny. Caution: the movie made me want to buy a goat (or three)!
Kitties like fire. They take after their momma. 
Now… the news you’ve all been waiting for… Congrats to Heather; you won the BondiBand giveaway! Shoot me an email at lovesweatandbeers@yahoo.com so that I can get your address.

That’s funny the cats like the fire that much. Ginger is petrified of it! When the wood cracks and hisses she literally runs into the other room. Cats are so much braver than dogs.

Love you’re outfit!! I love date nights, but my bf and I like to save money too and only do them sometimes. That’s really funny that your cats like the fire!

gnocchi is my favorite food, seriously. when i was living in africa i even made it from scratch a few times. that probably wasn’t worth it… but it’s that good

What a nice date night!! Lol, Ryan and I feel the same about saving some $$ when its just the two of us we will do a movie….but mostly our spending money consists of many dinners at expensive WHole Foods! LOL!!
