I'm working part-time now in an antique shop over at Lake Oconee. More about that later; I'm still the newbie there. I only work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so today is my hump day. The middle of my work week, so to speak.
As I drove home (it's 23 miles door to door), I realized most of the people I saw around me were excited because it's Friday night and the end of their work week. There was definitely more traffic as people headed to restaurants and movies. I guess Friday will always be date night.
Sweetie Pie and I don't go out much and we rarely ever have a date night. Back in the good times, we traveled a good deal for our antique business so when we were home, we preferred to eat at home. Plus it's a heck of a lot cheaper! We also don't like to travel on holidays. Our rule: if you want to see us during a major holiday, come to our house. Mama doesn't like that rule very much, but she enjoys visiting us.
One plus for living in a small house is guests don't hang around. We have one full bathroom in our bedroom and one half bath in the extra bedroom. And the extra bedroom doubles as a storage room too. There is a path around the bed and to the door and to the half-bath. Oh, and the half bath is also the laundry room and utility room and home to the cat's litter box. Every room in a small house must do double duty!
Back to date night. I want to see the movie Secretariat at the movie theatre, so I'm lobbying for a date afternoon. Sweetie Pie would rather go hunting. Maybe I'll just have to go see it by myself.
