Now that we don't have our Tuesday night Date Night, we actually had to hire a sitter for a chance to go out. But, this means we can stay out as late as we want (or are willing to pay).

We did a very basic date…dinner and a movie. We ate dinner too fast and had to do some shopping to kill time in between.  We actually did shopping for James, not me.  He used birthday money & tax return money to get an iPod–we are now joining the 21st centery!  James wanted to get a device he can put in his running shoe that hooks up to the iPod and does things like track distance, pace, etc. (I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you more about it.) There's a long story about how he ordered if from Apple and they messed up the order, but credited him some money and he chose to get it from a real store. (Again, I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you more about it.)

After that we went to see Oceans 13. (I know, we're a few weekends behind. Just an aside, we heard Evan, Almighty was really funny and clean from people at church.)  We enjoyed Oceans 13 a great deal. But we enjoy many of those "funny 'good' guys robbing bad guys" movies.  Highly recommend it if you enjoy them as well.  Since it's Sunday (our free day in the diet plan), I bought a box of movie candy–Skittles. I've never had so many Skittles in one setting before.  I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and think I have successfully cured any desire I will ever have for Skittles again.
