Date Night

I wonder if anyone else has changed the name of their blog a gazillion times? I'm sure I'll change it again.

My wonderful hubby surprised me by taking me on a hot date last night! Well, not so hot considering it was freezing and that we didn't have steamy sex or anything (which disappointed and surprised me). But hey! We went on a date for maybe the third time since last April when our little princess was born. We've been out with friends, or with family here and there - but it is a very rare occasion when it is just the two of us. We just had a couple of appetizers and two drinks each and spent some much needed quality time together. There is a new bar just a couple of miles away and we really like it. Plush velvet seats, lucious red carpet, old-fashioned tiled ceiling, loud and bouyant Karaoke Fridays, or laid-back quiet Saturdays. All wrapped up in a quaint Irish Pub! Great food, great service. All laughs and smiles as we snuggled in our booth. We had such a good time.

Mr. King's family is in town so when we got home we played Life with my sister-n-law until 2:30 AM! I can't believe we stayed up so late. She usually goes out with us when she's here, but the King said he wanted alone time with his wife (!). I was floored! He was so charming last night. Hmmm. I wonder if he made some New Year's Resolutions I don't know about? Whatever it is, something has sparked his flame-o-love!

Miss baby-doll princess sure is a sweetie. She's trying so hard to crawl and she's all giggles. All you have to do is give her a funny silly face and she giggles hysterically. She has such a good personality and spirit. What a beautiful blessing.

She was sooo wound up last night when our family got here! She's been staying up late and sleeping late for the last couple of weeks anyway, but last night she was up until 11:15! At least she sleeps in too. She'll sleep between 10-12 hours. Oh how I wish I was asleep right now too. I woke up at 6:30 wide awake with my hear racing. I'm feeling anxiety about having our late christmas with his family because really, we didn't get anyone ANYTHING. we got his parents a couple of gift cards (how lame is that!?) and his sister money and beer. I just don't know what to get them and hate guessing and being wrong. They came with bags FULL of presents - all I hope is it is mostly all for our little monkey-mo! Ugh. I think they secretly don't like me still, but that's another story for another day.
