Date night with Romeo and Juliet

Last night I had date night with Milie. It started out as a requirement for me to go to a play to review for my drama class. I instantly thought of Milie since she is the queen of all things drama (performing arts that is) and asked if she wanted to tag along. We looked it up and it was going to be $5o something a ticket! I actually have to go to two plays, so we thought we would divided it up between pay periods. My teacher emails me with a student discount and we got the tickets for $20 apiece, whoo hoo!

Milie and I had a countdown until the play and all day yesterday I was excited. I got up and got ready and had my hair straightened by 4pm- I was ready to have a night out without any kids! We planned on having dinner first since the play was 4 hours long. I needed gas thought so I left my house at 5:15 to go to the NEX for gas (save a whopping .20 cents a gallon) I get into line only to find out that one of the pumps is down. Here in the military; at least at the NEX once you get into a line your stuck! So I ended up waiting 30 minutes for gas! Oh just an FYI I was below the red line and my car started to shake and was about to die on me. I started looking around to see who can I ask to help push my car up to the pump. Horrible!

Once I finally get the gas it is now 6pm and I'm supposed to already be at Milie's! I speed and get there in about 15-20 minutes; we rush over to the theatre because I was told parking is anywhere from 5-15 minutes’ walking. It was first come first park and those who are late have to park in BFE and hike it over. Luckily for us we found a spot that wasn't too far away and ended up with time to spare.

They are doing some reconstruction over there and all they have is this portable cube that serves premade meals. Oh also we order drinks, and they were those mini bottles! Cute but not worth the money spent! Back to our lovely dinner, we each had these turkey sandwiches on this dark brown bread (never again folks) that came with a salad. I'm not actually sure if you can call it a salad because us poor folks have some lettuces and maybe add some cheese and bacon bits and call it a day. This salad had corn and all kinds of other veggies. Knowing that Milie won’t eat her tomatoes I ask her for hers and she gladly gives it to me (next time she'll think twice about that) I pick it up and bit into it and it squirts into her face! PRICELESS moment I should have taken a picture, but I'm leaving that up Milie to find something just as good.


After our so called dinner we head off to the play, it was amazing! And that isn't even really giving it justice! I have never read the play and I learned a lot that I had assumed was completely wrong. Mercutio was outstanding and the men had to wear these tights that show just about EVERYTHING! Since Brandon has been stuck in a lovely jock strap since his surgery I was trying to figure out if these guys had one on cause there wasn't any lines to say they were, but my goodness I SWEAR Romeo had to stuff his package if not that just isn't right. He is a short little thing as is. Enough of me talking about that. They had their back sides to us for a bit and I had to lean over and tell Milie I couldn’t help myself but I couldn't take my eyes off their rears! Dirty girl (sorry, Lord please forgive me)

I didn't get home till almost midnight but it was an evening that I will never forget! Thanks Milie for going with me.
