Scenes from A Date Night

This past Friday (date night) was spent with a few of Jesse's coworkers at a going away celebration for one of his colleagues. The restaurant was nice, but the scene was weird with odd tension between some of the people there. It seems like a developing pattern with AED, always ruining my date nights! As a result, I can honestly say that losing contact with a majority of them would not be a terrible thing. I was glad when we bowed out early to watch an episode of Northern Exposure.

Last Friday's date was a lot more fun and started a few hours early to catch the Euro Cup game between the Netherlands and France. The soccer game was pretty exciting and left us feeling energized enough to walk out in the blazing heat to pick up our olive and pepperoni pizza.

Once our bellies were full, I convinced Jesse that a proper game-filled date night should not only include watching games, but playing games too. He suggested a full-on Yahtzee tournament, but I countered with a friendly game of Trivial Pursuit. In a moment of weakness, he agreed. Anyone who has ever played Trivial Pursuit knows that it can literally go on for ages. Being the enthusiast that I am, I refuse to let go until someone at least has all the colors in their wheel. Unfortunately, I am the worst at the Sports and Leisure category, so after filling up all of my colors, I was stuck with no hope for ever winning that final green wedge. By the time we neared the end, Jesse couldn't even hold his head up to read the questions.

I think I'll have to wait a while to get my fill of trivia again, but it was fun while it lasted. I don't think there will be many more leisurely date nights for a while, given that July's weekends are booked solid. That leaves us with Friday nights to get some serious packing and cleaning done. Yikes! Is it really almost July?!

Indeed it is. Only 39 more days to go!
