Date Night

I know we should do it more often but it just seems we don't get the chance but this weekend hubby and I had 'date night'. I'm so stingy a movie was not included! Our date nights are usually a little unconventional...we started the evening out at Lowes...yes, Lowes and then we headed to Home Depot!!! Oh it was wonderful!! So then we went to Carraba's. We'd never been there and had wanted to try it. It was very good...high prices for what you get but good. Then we headed to Borders to browse the books. I found the neated 'Home Journal'!!! It has divided areas and each area comes with pages to hold those fly away things like paint samples! and there's measurement pages for laying out rooms!! It's just what I need for the home project we're tackling!! Plus the cashier gave me about 35% off my purchase!!! I love my Borders card! Then we were off to Barnes & Noble...not such a great experience. I'd never been in this store since we moved here and I doubt I'll be heading back anytime soon. It looked like a homeless shelter! People were laying in the aisles! Spread out all over the furniture and was totally discusting! Plus the workers were just plain rude and unavailable. The books weren't neatly placed on the shelves like they are at Borders. And then you have to purchase their card to get a 10% savings...I Don't Think So!!! I believe this was my first and last visit to Barnes & Noble. I'll stick with Borders where people are friendly, it dosen't look like a homeless shelter and I can find the books I'm looking for easily and don't have to step over bodies to get to the books!
