Spoiled again

I'm getting spoiled - first I get a night with the house to myself, then my DH gets sneaky and takes me out to dinner last night. Sneaky because he gave me 15 minutes warning.

I made him wait 25 while I spruced up a bit.

Have to say though, enjoyed it immensely. It's been such a crazy couple months that it was nice to meet the man I've been sleeping beside for so long again.

So we sat in one of those casual restaurant/bars with informal decor but actual staff and the snow fell through the street lights outside and it felt right to be out with my honey and watching his eyes light up as he talked about a challenge he'd been having at work. Of course, reality always steps in and we did a little last minute Christmas shopping at the Toys R Us next door before we headed home. Time was we used to go out and then hit a book store for a few hours as our indulgence. It just occurred to me that a bookstore was on the other side of the restaurant and didn't even appear on my radar.

Do you suppose I'm approaching middle age?

Never mind, don't answer that. It was a good night.
