Just Plodding Along

Last night was date night and since I am a true romantic I forced D up a mountain and made him eat at some hole in the wall places. Ah amore.

For our date he took me shopping at the mall, to REI and then to the Cheesecake Factory. And since he is the best husband in the world he let me spend our joint REI xmas gift card on running fuel.

And chocolate mint cliff bars (the only flavor worth eating). I also obtained this lovely piece of cheesecake to go (peanut butter cup chocolate magic).
