Lessons from Date Night
1. Acme Oyster House is not the kind of place to wear high heels. Also, they do not have steak.
2. The one laser tag place on the Northshore closes at 10:00.
3. Bowling in Slidell is an adventure all of its own, but - and this is a Big But - there IS a hair style place at the bowling alley. Let me pause there for a minute.
...
I KNOW.
The Macarena was playing as we walked into the place, which had at least a third of the town's entire population in it, and let me just say this... not the best 1/3, if you know what I am saying. I think some inbreeding has taken place. But they sure do know how to do the Macarena.
Additionally, we could not bowl, in that we had no reservation (I KNOW) and we didn't have four people, so we were sent on our way... but we didn't find this information out until the man behind the counter had finished doing the Macarena. I KNOW.
4. Paranormal activity probably does happen, I think, I mean, I think it could. My husband and his aunt experienced a ghosty moment in a house she used to have. I was awakened night after night after night by a whispered, "Hey," in one apartment, always getting out of bed and going into Beanie's room, assuming that it was him and he needed something, only to find him soundly asleep. But my whisperer was hardly menacing - nothing frightening at all - and Husband wasn't scarred for life or anything. This all being said, the movie? Eh. Whatever. At first, I kinda liked it, what with the little movements and thumpy steps, that was all good. It got a little too weird and not scary later, though. I am glad that I watched it, and I am equally glad that I did not pay to do so.
As an aside, Janie, my mom and I went on a "ghost tour" of the French Quarter one time, and saw nothing. NOTHING. But we did enjoy the drinky stops along the way, of which there were several.
5. Sometimes the perfect date night has nothing to do with laser tagging or bowling or steaks. Sometimes, it's just all about the company, and the perfect ending is watching a movie in the living room, sharing spaces on the gigantic l-shaped sectional (so nobody has to actually touch if they don't want to), and being kinda nappy.
I had a fun date night.

I'm glad you had a nice date! I had one too. The best part was sitting at the bar at Bikini's (it's like Hooters, sort of) and speculating about the other people there (like, were those 2 girls on their first date together or out to pick up guys together or what? turned out one was meeting a guy for drinks and the other was there to be a 3rd wheel).

Everybody needs a date night now and then. Just to show off a bit, I'll tell you that *my* hometown has 2 bowling alleys...
