Oh What a Night...

Restless Hubby scored free tix to The Jersey Boys last night and asked me out on a date! It could not have happen at a more perfect time as you might agree after reading my last post (no, you don't have to read the whole thing...the title says it all).

I felt HUMAN again! Not only was the show FANTASTIC, I didn't look like a homeless person dressed up, before the show we went out to dinner (which for us these days was going to Happy Hour for half price appetizers - seriously, don't feel sorry for us - we're in Las Vegas = you can be unemployed and eat like a high-roller).

Anyway, the show the show the show! So, I am not proud to admit that I am NOT a fan of Broadway musicals (Avenue Q aside). So when RH told me about the tix, I was like: "well, I'd rather see a movie or something...?" After our experience watching The Phantom of the Opera (sorry fans) which was absolute TORTURE for me, he completely understood. But was told by another non-fan of Broadway that she LOVED it. Also not being a huge fan of Frankie Valli - but also not knowing how many songs were by the Four Seasons I didn't know of - I thought well, at least it's not that Westside Story type (sorry again fans - like I said, not proud to admit I have no taste) type of music.

The singing, the show, the music, the story was awesome....I didn't know they did "Oh What a Night"?!

RE: the Restless Date

After initially coming down from our anxiety talking about whether or not we'd be able to afford preschool, if it's necessarily...blah blah blah - cut to - killer sushi restaurant where we unapologetically scored half-price appetizers while joking around about how our waitress probably thought Restless Husband was a cheap-skate (which he was, but I was right there with him!). I invented a married couples' date test sort of thing I highly recommend for any and all couples that can actually GO on dates: keep a running tally/rating system on "if the date was your 1st date" how the other person would score.

For instance, I started him at an 8 for his presentation - well-groomed, handsome, nice hair-do (I guess it's not called a "hair-do" for dudes huh? ), good outfit, but...the same one he wore on our last time out, and the last time before that, aaaand the last time before that. He went up a point for making me laugh - down a point for cussing at another driver - so on and so forth. It was awesome. And as you can see, it was mostly one-sided anyway therefore keeping the male counterpart in check as that half seems to be a bit more "relaxed" after being married a few years anyway.

Of course after about 20 minutes of this, in the midst of pork gyozas, calamari and laughing my head off, I lost track. But looking back, I'd say Restless Hubs fared well. The fact of the matter is, he had me at "will you go out with me tonight?". "Oh What a Night...."
