date night

Oh, we have to get better at this date night thing! Stephen's mom was in town and offered to watch Stella so we could have a night out. Oh how lovely this sounded! We talked about going to Nick & Sam's, Stephen's absolute favorite restaurant (steak to die for), then to see Mamma Mia (yes, my pick).
Well of course we got moving later than planned, so we were forced to re-evaluate the plan. As it was already 7:45, we had to choose between dinner and a movie. Since Stella is actually pretty good about restaurants (won't last forever, I know), we picked the movie. We were so unorganized, we just went to the theater without checking times. Got there and next showing of Mamma Mia was not until 10, which was way too late to do to Stephen's mom.
So what started out as:
Dress up night out, fabulous dinner, escapist singing and greek isles travel lust
ended up as:
batman

Which, by the way, was a good movie. Definitely not for kids though, quite dark and bleak. Also may have been too much for my tired brain. Me, in the car, after: "But why was his hair green? I just don't understand!" Stephen: "sigh..."
