Tales from the edge

On Monday Cathryn had the day off, so we went to Dublin to get her hair done and shop for make-up (I'm such a good boyfriend!). Everything went great for her (superb haircut and styling, and found make-up that she liked), but let me tell you, being a guy in a salon or make-up store sucks. Not for the reasons you're probably thinking of, but because the employees of said establishments always treat me like a style and fashion retard or an accessory. I have skills! I have opinions! I am not an animal!!! I even know what color sea foam green is.

Whew! I just needed to get that off my chest, and now I feel better. In less rant-like happenings, something magical happened that day beyond the fabulous haircut and well found make-up; Cathryn and I ate dinner at Chevy's and used a coupon for a $5 discount on our meal. I don't know why, but it felt like a relationship milestone of some sort. I guess it's a no brainer to spend money as a couple, but to save five bucks on a dinner and be giddy doing so really felt good. We were like, "Woohoo! Free money!" and "Wow! This would NEVER happen on a regular date!" Life is good!

I figured I'd share something that I thought was cool and unabashedly soft, since I'm being outed as an "ol' softie" on the t-shirt contest thing anyway. But not to worry, I still want to see movies like Grindhouse and watch hockey on the TV.
