New Specs

FINALLY!!! After approximately seven or eight years of settling for glasses that I wasn't all that thrilled about I found two and bought two new pair. Yippee. Now that we have Heritage optical insurance I can go t DOC for glasses. Optim-eyes just wasn't cutting the mustard in terms of having glasses that appeal to me. Of course I'm walking around minus an arm and a leg because even with insurance that's what my new sexy specs cost me but I love them both!!!!

Yesterday was Dave's birthday. We didn't celebrate in a big way yesterday but over the weekend we managed to get rid of all three kids and we went out on a date. We had dinner and a movie on Saturday night and then brunch on Sunday.

We went to see Running Scared, starring Paul Walker(I never realized how cute he was in a raw and rugged sort of way - maybe it was the role along with the cinematography). What an incredibly action-packed and intense and suspenseful movie. In fact it was too intense for me. I got up to use the bathroom just so that I could breathe. I don't like movies that make my heart pound and my fists clench. I won't give away the plot but in short it was all about a guy being a day late and a dollar short throughout the whole movie. From the very first scene there was a ton of action. Needless to say, Dave loved it. I would have too but I go to the movie for entertainment and just found it hard to be entertained with my blood pressure elevated to that level. Other kinds of movies that do that to me are ones about racism, rape, and kidnapping. I don't find that subject matter entertaining at all ...

At any rate, it felt WONDERFUL to have a much needed break from my childrent and to spend time alone with Dave. We must find a way to make that happen much more often.
