Mid-week date night.

I’ve been trying to get Jeremy (as the primary grocery shopper) to go to the new grocery store in Germantown called Wegman’s that opened three months ago and he’s been reluctant to go – granted, there are at least 12 grocery stores that are closer, but really, it’s no further than 15 minutes from the house.  It’s a mash-up between Whole Foods and a regular grocery store – so you can get organic chicken AND honey-nut Cheerios/Oreos at the same place.

So on Thursday, I dragged him to the grocery store for date night.  We were going to eat just at the hot buffet bar at the grocery store (I know, I know, this was a really exciting date that I’d planned) – but Jeremy had a long, tiring day at work and just really wanted a beer.  So we went to the burger joint next door.  Jeremy had to do a presentation that day which required him to get all dressed up and since he’s lost so much weight this year, he’s just swimming in a suit that is four sizes too big.  We are about the bite the bullet and spend about $1500 for two nice suits from Brooks Brothers when they go on sale in January which is insane – but since the suit that he was wearing on date night was bought in the early 90s and still looks great (except for it being too big), I’m hoping the new suits will also last 25 years.

If money was no object and he could buy a new suit every year, I’d totally encourage him to buy a skinny suit with a vest a la Justin Timberlake.  Now if only putting on a skinny suit would enable someone to dance like JT – that would be fabulous.

Oh!  And truffles – only $1K a pound.

Charging stations.

One class done, one more to go. I’ve been floating on air all afternoon from some compliments from my classmates.  So there you go – you know how to pull me out of a funk?  Just throw me an earnest compliment and I’ll take it from there.

Less than a block from our house, they’ve installed an electric vehicle charging station.  Right next to our favorite pizza place, ice cream place, dry cleaner, dentist and vet.  This charging station is 17 times closer than the nearest gas station.  It’s actually closer to our house than the pizza.

I like how the connection kinda looks like a gas pump.

And here’s the pizza I had for lunch – on the house today because I go there so often.
