slow day
Since last night was such a late one, Mike and I spent most of today sleeping with occasional interruptions to take the puppies out, get online, or get some food. One of my online ventures was to look at some BPAL stuff, and while I was browsing through the LE scents, Mike commented on my interest and asked to smell the imps Karinne gave me. We sniffed our way through all of them, although I think his nose wasn't the same for quite a while afterwards.
We showered and went out for some dinner around 7. The original plan was just to pick food up to go from Bonefish, but a couple of frustrating phone calls changed that to going in for a sit-down meal. The first two restaurants we tried were packed with a minimum wait time of an hour, so we ended up at another restaurant in the area. As far as I'm concerned, the experience there was mediocre, at best. To begin with, we had to wait for some menus to free up - there were plenty of seats, but not enough menus to go around, I guess. When we could sit down and look at a menu, our waitress was too distracted to remember things the first time we asked for them - Mike asked for ranch dressing, but by the time she came back out, not bringing ranch, he was already almost through with the wings. And to top it off, my food had to be sent back twice because my "medium-well" steak came out first medium-rare, then medium. Ick. Mike was already through with his food by the time mine came back cooked the way I'd requested, so we just got what was left of my dinner in a box to go. On our way home we stopped by the first restaurant we'd tried to go to and picked up some shrimp (for Mike) and a piece of key lime pie (for me, of course) to take home with us.
Now we've settled in with our food and the puppies, and we're getting ready to watch The Warriors. Mike picked up the movie shortly after the game was released, so we've had it for a while, but tonight's the first time I've felt like watching it. Even if I don't like it, I'll understand Mike's references.
