It's a Date

If we keep up this pace of date nights, we're either going to be fat or flat broke -- or both -- by the time Carter gets home.

Let's see, we've had a Fish Fry Friday, Saturday Movie Night, Sunday Drive with dinner at Rusty's.... today's destination: Appleton.

Our main purpose in going was to find some new irons for hubby's golf bag. I had promised him he'd get some for Father's Day last year, but he never redeemed the coupon, so to speak. So we figured we better get that squared away before golf season -- and another Father's Day -- rolls around.

We went to Dick's Sporting Goods and then Golf Galaxy (where Robyn was drooling at the clothes clearance rack). Even after swinging a few at the virtual range, Jim still didn't feel compelled to say, "Hey, I must have these!" So we are going to wait. He'll play a few rounds with his old irons, get into the swing of things, and keep an eye out for something irresistible (besides me, of course).

After not spending any money shopping (my will power amazed me), we went to HuHot Mongolian Grill to eat. Good, good food! If you've never tried a place like that, the experience alone is worth it. Pick your meat and veggies and "create" your own sauce. Then they grill it up right in front of you. It can be hot and spicy or just plain hot. I'm still sooooo full!

We are assuming Carter had a full day and evening, too, since he didn't take time to call. Good for him! We're all living it up in our own way this week.

I like that!
