Hot date night for Lance's Birthday.

OH yeah! super hot hot hot!


you know i am kidding right?
but here is the play by play.
so we took the hoodlums for some quality time with Grandma Jo Ann. and headed to Macaroni grill, Lance's choice since it was his birthday. he likes something called penne rustica there , penne pasta with a cheese sauce, prosciutto, chicken, shrimp, and it is Parmesan crusted. he digs it. and we had a gift card. so there was a 2o minute wait which i planned on for a trip to bath and body works for my twisted peppermint wallflower. which was sold out damn it! so i got a candle instead. then i remembered we are out of dog food and next door to pets smart. so we went there, got food for our dogs, and accessories for the bird cage. (yeah we have pets too,
2 Akc shit zu dogs, 2 random cats, and 3 finches.) then we went to dinner, and after that? we went shopping. for the house of Refuge, his family picks a charity or less fortunate family to help every year. this year they picked a house of Refuge for battered women. where they help them get on their feet, educate or train them, and they live for awhile with their kids. so, we did our shopping for it and for his mom. and the things they needed donated was, just sad. feminine hygiene products, and toiletries. they already had donations of toys and clothes for the kids there, but the moms and teenagers needed stuff. so they were asking for stuff like shampoo, and lotion. and other basics people totally take for granted. so we hit target and walmart and loaded up on brush gift sets, and shampoo and conditioner. and razors, and lotion, and chapstick, and manicure sets. basics, and sadly tampons, and pads, because when you get assistance from the state it is just for food, everything else has to come from out of pocket, and if you don't have any money, buying something like shampoo or tampons can become stressful. and these people might have nothing. so it felt pretty good to help someone else. plus the loading up on tons of great cheap gift sets at walmart. totally thrilled me. oh and while i was at target i spotted a blog friend Kylie! and at walmart? I spotted an ex boyfriend Jeremy ward! yes! i did. but this time i wasn't sure it was him and didn't go say hi. but it was totally him. which is funny for me. plus while i looked hot tonight as always, (kidding) i hate to flaunt my not thinness. so there we are. big hot date tonight dinner and shopping (Lance hates shopping on dates). and here i am blogging while Lance reads his book. so Happy birthday date for Lance. and he was surprisingly good spirited about the shopping because it wasn't my idea for one thing (except bath and body works) but we did his mom's shopping too. and if someone else wants to shop or needs him to , it is ok. plus it's a good cause. and we have done our part. and we are glad we are now in the position to be able to help.

the end.
