I think when you’ve been married for a while you can get into the habit of taking each other for granted. Read more
This is a little bit late but I decided to post about it because I had such a good day. Read more
During the week I talked with my friend Jo, who suggested we go have a bbq this saturday with some of our other friends. I called her and got voicemail on Friday. I messaged her on Friday night, and by Saturday I had given up. She’s one of those people who has a mobile phone but usually it’s in the trunk of her car, in the bottom of her handbag or some other place, either on, or off. I really don’t know why she has one in the first place and it’s quite annoying trying to contact her.
So anyway Yasu and I had pretty much given up on the bbq, shame really as he took a day off especially for it. When I woke up this morning Yasu suggested we go have a bbq at a park near our house overlooking a river, and I agreed as it was meant to be a nice sunny day. I went back to bed and woke up about 11am by which time it was too late to get ready as we had to buy meat and stuff, so Yasu just said to me that I should have a rest.
Later on we went out shopping and found that a Diner had opened up in our shopping centre. It’s called Jimmy Dean’s Diner, and the theme is 50’s rock n’roll era. There is a statue of Elvis out the front that people stand and take photo’s with. When you walk in, Marilyn Monroe is standing there with a sign that says “please wait to be seated” and her dress is blowing up in the air. There is rock n’roll memorabilia all over the walls, a jukebox, and 2 huge plasma screens showing non stop music from the 50’s to the 90’s. It’s a really great atmosphere.
So we went in and we both decided to have a Spider (or what American’s would call an icecream soda). I had red creaming soda and Yasu had lemonade. Mine seemed to explode when the icecream went in but boy was it delicious!! I also ordered some Memphis Fries for us to share. They were flat crispy chips covered in bacon pieces, cheese and bbq sauce. To die for!! It was sooo yum. It was so great to just spend time together and have a nice afternoon snack. We both really enjoyed ourselves and said we should do it more often. We spend time at home together but we rarely go out for a coffee or a snack like we did when we were dating, and It’s really nice.
Yet another great reason not to have kids, I get my husbands attention 100%. I guess since I stopped trying to have kids I’ve found a whole lot of positives on why it’s great not to have kids. :) No offence to those reading that do have kids, I just thought my life wasn’t worth living if I didn’t have kids but I’ve found that’s not true.
Anyway, I had a great date with my husband today. :)
