Saturday Surprises

So, Saturday I had to run errands, do chores, you know...boring "grown-up" stuff. I started early and ended up at home around 2. After that, I was planning on spending the afternoon with Mike doing some laundry and generally being silly.

At 2:30, Mike comes over, and while I am folding laundry tells me that I need to be ready to go by 3:00. Needless to say, I was surprised, since I still had at least 2 more loads to do and he had not previously mentioned us going anywhere. Also, the only makeup I had on at this point was some mascara, and I was still in my comfy "house" clothes. But, he tells me to dress warmly, so I managed to throw myself together pretty quickly, and when I look at the clock, it's 3:02.

So, I grab a jacket, a hat, a scarf and my Jack Skellington gloves, as well as some road snacks (since all I'd eaten up to that point was some yogurt), and we head out to Mike's car. He still refuses to tell me where we're going, but I have my suspicions, which were confirmed an hour and a half later when we arrive at Ocean Beach. I had mentioned to Mike earlier last week that I wanted to go watch the sun set over the ocean, and now I was getting my wish.

But, not only was I going to get to watch the sun set; I was getting a fun, romantic dinner on the beach. Mike brought blankets, hot chocolate, and foil wrapped food to cook on the fire for us to enjoy. It was a fantastic surprise, and the food was good. It was also fun to be bundled up so much I looked like a marshmellow and to drink steaming hot chocolate. YUM!

So, we hung at the beach for a little over an hour before we couldn't take the cold anymore, and then we got in the car and headed back. I was thinking, "oh, we can go in the hot tub; it's chilly outside and that would feel nice", but Mike still had one more trick up his sleeve. He says to me, "Okay, you have a choice. We can either go to your house and get some movie snacks, then go see Twilight (meaning New Moon of course), or we go straight to see Twilight." I was pleasantly surprised, because he hasn't read any of the books, and I hadn't expected to see it before Wednesday.

So, after a brief stop to pick up some goodies for the movie, we headed over to the theater to join the teeming masses. I really enjoyed the movie, and the entire afternoon and night in general. So, even though he doesn't read my blog: Thank you cupcake for a taking me on such a great date!
