Between my new job, the kids' extracurricular activities, chores and various other elements, Patrick and I have not had much time together. Even once the kids go to bed, by that time I am wiped, having been up since 5 am. This weekend, we actually had a date! We went to dinner and PetCo (we roll hard).
On Saturday, we had plans to go to a pumpkin carving party of an old friend of mine . . . or so I thought. My friend and his wife live about an hour away. We were supposed to bring something "pumpkin". Knowing that his wife is vegetarian, I decided to up my game and make gluten free, vegan pumpkin donuts. I was going to score major points, right?
Well the donuts did not turn out. I tried to add extra almond flour and make them muffins. They still did not turn out. So I was frustrated. We went on our way anyhow up the mountainous trail to my friend's house. And we got lost. And I called my friend. No answer. I called two other friends who I knew would be at the party. No answer. Finally I got a call back, trying to get directions, only to find out . . . we were a week early. The party is this Saturday.
I felt like such an idiot. But nonetheless, Patrick and I ended up with another date this weekend. We had a lovely (albeit impromptu) drive up the mountains, a lovely game of Scrabble and a modest Ramen noodle dinner. And it was honestly one of the best nights I've had in a long time.
