Friday Nights Alright

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.
