It was Valentines Weekend and on that Friday, I decided to take my Linda out! We rarely go anywhere do to money and life and school and life... But I really wanted to have some fun! Recently we ate at the greek owned restaurant that serves great meals and they were running a AWESOME special for that whole weekend; 24.99 for 2 dinners that included: Soup or Salad, 12 oz. Steak and Shrimp with sides, and desert!!! It was great!!! Linda took most of hers home it was so big. We had to watch the clock because my little surprise was at 7:30 and I did not want to be late. We needed to go downtown and parking is horrible, but I found out that that day the trax light rail was free for the whole day!! Again - AWESOME! So, we parked at 45th south and took the free light rail to the front door of the surprise. THE OFF BROADWAY THEATER is across from channel 2 news, and we took a minute to find it... it was a old theater building kept up and we got tickets and waited for the show - A parody on The Wizard of Oz. Linda was excited (I did good!) Then we went and got our seats about 20 feet from the stage of this little theater. From start to finish we busted out laughing and had a great time! Linda liked it so much that she wanted to stay and watch the improv comedy next. It is like "Who's line is it anyways" with Drew. 3 guys and a girl just having a good time acting out scenario's.. Linda was selected to go up on stage (it was a late night Friday party going on) and she was laughing so hard, it was great - our stomachs ached from all the laughing... You need to check em out if you ever want a great date night and for cheep (since Linda participated, we got free tickets!!) You can go to this web site to check them out!!!! http://www.theobt.com/As for life, my work has been using me as a Guinea pig and trying new ideas on silk screening. I am just glad it is over, they just did not get it at all and I did not have the heart to tell them... Then they finally got a new printer and that was just as fun. I am very lucky to have a job, although I need a freakin' pay increase. Linda is working really hard at school and earning great grades and every one should be very proud - I am. This spring we are going to change things up and the future is looking a bit better, I hope. I really want to graduate faster then 2 classes a qtr and the only way to do that is going part time and Linda work Full time. We have decided to have her work on schoolwork and take care of Pa and try and get Pampered Chef going, we are trying this out until May or June the latest... Then she has to go to full time status. The sooner I graduate the sooner I can look for better opportunities. Well, hope all is going well with the small readers out there... peace out!
