That I stumble upon a 180 pound Great Dane in the middle of a bowling alley:
Seriously. Seriously.
He was awesome! I want one! Do not ask me why he was there. I have no idea!
Date Night was fun! The Husband and I had a little friendly competition.
As usual, he won.
The beer was a’flowing, I must admit.
I had one of those magical cups that refill itself when you are not looking. Hmmm. I wonder how THAT happened (ahem, Husband!).
We had a lot of fun hanging out and talking. I am SO happy we are reinstituting date night. It’s a much needed break from our hectic schedules. The Husband works 12 hour days at the clinic – and then he comes home and studies! 
Poor kid.
Plus, bowling is FUN, and it’s so, so cheap.
Dinner was simple and fast. I was in NO state to be slaving over the oven. 
The key ingredient: this lovely wedge of Double Gloucester cheese. Light and mild, but super “eloquent,” as the Husband says.
Grilled cheese and broccoli:
I had 3/4 the sammie – the Husband stole a quarter. And…. I ate all of my veggies. 
Other snacks of the afternoon included a Clif bar:
A bowl of cereal:
And an apple! (Get it?)
Time for me to disconnect. Have a lovely evening! But….before I go, the winner of the Stonyfield Farm Spa Prize Pack is:
- Cat said: Lots of things make me happy, but right now the main one is – I’m 4 months pregnant and we got to hear the baby’s heartbeat today at my checkup! I also love running in my Baby on Board tshirt!
Congrats!

I wanna go bowling now!
My boyfriend is at the hospital 12+ hours too! It’s hard on them and I’m sure your hubby is missing you as much as you miss him!
Twilight Love, I was waiting to see when the pic would post. lol Love date nights with my sweetie as well!
Haha love the great dane..so random!
When I was running in central park this morning there was a beautiful, shiny brown lab that I wanted to take home with me.
p.s. I love grilled cheese! Esp. with Amy’s Kitchen tomato soup.
Love the Twilight pic. Worth the wait.
That is such a random place to find a great dane. He is gorgeous. Date nights are such fun, I love it when The Boy and I take some time to go out and enjoy an evening together.
i am glad you are having more date nights!

That dog’s head is SO huge!! We don’t see many big dogs like that in NYC…can’t fit in the apartments!
I ate that Clif bar today too
It is pretty much amazing.
One of the most amazing dogs ever.
Great Danes are my absolute favorite dog!!!
I used to have a great dane. However, Duke was only 130-140 pounds. Miss that pooch!
That dog is huge!!! And so cute!
What a great looking dog! Haha magically refilling beer cups. Hmmm
Too funny about the great dane. Was he a good bowler?
hahah what a cute dog! hhah. aww date night. makes me feel my SINGLE STATUS ACUTELY. =D
love your fight face. “eloquent”? hahhaa.
you can have friend date nights! i like those, too
sometimes they are even more fun!
date nights are awesome, so glad you and the hubby are doing that again!
i can’t believe the size of that dog! holy geeze!
Haha … that dog has a “look” on his face in that second picture! Love it!
Sounds like the start of a joke – “This Great Dane walks into a bowling alley and….” Too funny – and cute!
Oh man, I reallyreallyreally want a great dane!
I dog sat for a Great Dane once, and lets just say, on our walks we went where ever he wanted to go!
I can’t wait to have a ‘baby on board’ shirt..wait yes I can. but it will be fun. My mom and her family grew up with great danes. She used to dress them up.
My boyfriend just sent me this website I think you’ll like. It is seriously food porn.

You could post some of your recipes there too!
Date night is so important in keeping a relationship healthy.
Hunni would have ran right back out. He is not fun of big dogs. He likes little ones he could chase if need be.
But your date night looks fun and congrats on the Twilight pic
hahaha the apple thing is too funny and clever!
I love that you two went bowling. The first time that my boyfriend and I went bowling, it didn’t go so well… to put it bluntly, he was beyond bad and couldn’t figure out why. He wasn’t pleased, BUT luckily, he has since gotten better! I don’t think he could handle me beating him so badly.
That doggy is like a horse he is so big!!
Bowling night sounds like a lot of fun.. I love when they have celestial bowling nights and it’s all glow in the dark inside. It makes it like one big dance party in the bowling alley when they turn the music on.
Have a great night chica!
Whoa, that’s pretty wild. We have a Great Dane in the neighborhood. He’s white with black markings, and from far away, he looks like a calf, walking around in the park. It cracks me up every time.
Aw I love Great Danes! My BFF in elementary/middle school had one named Zurich, and he was such a gentle giant:)
cute date night! your last pic makes me think you would REALLY like the t-shirt i made and posted on my blog tonight!!

SERIOUSLY you will flip!
I want to run into a 180 pound great dane! What a fantastic treat. Looks like a great time on date night.
Yay for date night
Jas and I have date night on Friday..I believe we are lighting candles and having a romantic pizza/beer dinner hehe. Great Danes kind of scare me! Their size seems so abnormal compared to my Trixie 
That is a huge dog.
Yay, you posted the Twilight pic! That’s awesome
(yes, I’m a huge dork…)
Aw, that dog is lovely! Thank you – that picture has made my day!
SO excited for New Moon!! 8 days!
Sounds like a fun date night
theres a bowling alley close to my house! i want my bf and I to have a date night there
its such a cute thing to do! You both are the cutest married couple !!
LMAO you are hilarious with the apple pic! But I love it! mahah
Sounds like you had a great time:D
Love the idea of date night, so cute! Bowling is a fun way to let loose and relax. The great dane is super random, but I love it, I can’t imagine having a dog that large!
You’ve inspired me to go bowling! My boyfriends is visiting in a few weeks might have to take him bowling (since there’s pretty much nothing else to do around these parts…)
I love the twilight inspired apple pose!
That great dane is awesome! A co-worker of mine has one too and she brought it in because everyone was asking about him. It’s AMAZING how huge they are! Such cool dogs.
What a beautiful dog!
Love the apple reference! That dane is beautiful! My husband and I spent the first few months of our relationship bowling…it seems like we did it all the time! I miss it, I think I will have to bring him bowling now that we are married!
That is hilarious that you saw a great dane in the bowling alley. They are SUCH cool dogs!
Date night looks fun! Friendly competition is a must in every relationship, I say
I thought I left a comment but I don’t see it now. You pictures look awesome. The last one made me lol. I made a twilight shirt on my blog that I think you might just find amusing! lol
Yum! Broccoli and grilled cheese – two of my favourite meal components in one!
Date night looks fun – I’m planning a cyber date night with my fiancee tomorrow – popcorn, snacks and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. It’s going to be fun.
Ugh. Twilight…*finds fork, stabs Edward Cullen in the neck*
I love cups that magically refill themselves! Only problem is you can never figure out how many you had! That Great Dane is gorgeous!
Haha love the Twilight reference.
My uncle used to have a great dane. It was his 4th one. He was sooo cute and if you were sitting down, he’d come up and SIT on your lap. I don’t know how he underestimated his size so much…Sad thing about great danes though is they don’t live very long. Their hearts are too small for their bodies
I love that you have brought in the date night – sounds like fun!
I looove that dog!!! He’s soo much bigger than you!
I also just realized that I read your blog ALL the time, but I have never commented!!
Come visit my blog too!!!!!!!
Love love love your blog!!
