We recently realized that we are becoming homebodies. And not in a good way. We’re overworked, exhausted homebodies who are happier to pull on sweatpants and watch Private Practice on a Friday night than actually, you know, do something. We are trying to remedy this situation and be more social. We know so many nice people in Charlotte – we just need to make an effort!
That’s how we ended up on a double date at 300 East with our friends Jen and Jeff. It was perfect and so much better than a overdramatized medical show.
I started of with the tortilla soup, which was loaded with veggies and beans.
For my entrée, I had the Fall Salad. It was a combination of mixed greens, port-soaked cherries, goat cheese, pine nuts, and creamy balsamic. So good I dived in without snapping a photo.
Everyone else passed on dessert, but I couldn’t say no to this pumpkin cheesecake. I offered to share, but no one else took me up on the offer, so I had the filling all to myself. Which worked out just fine because it was AMAZING.
At the end of our meal, a man at a nearby table got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend in front of the entire restaurant. Aww.
Mission: Be social… Accomplished. Hope you had an excellent Friday, as well!
You better socialize as much as possible before you have the baby, because then you’ll never have time. You know, it’s the same as sleep, taking a shower, and sex. Just kidding. I don’t have kids and my husband and I already hear that crap from people.
I think it’s so easy to fall into a stay-at-home rut when you actually enjoy spending time with your significant other!
