Date Night Wrap-up

So with DBF only home for this weekend, we decided to make sure we got in a date-night in lieu of Valentine's Day. After much surfing the net and fussing about, we settled on Bish for our night out. We had been there in the Summer when I came to visit, and I wanted to see what it was like with the Winter menu and the darker, cozier atmosphere.

I gave myself this as an excuse to finally go shopping for a new outfit. I spent a few hours at Halifax Shopping Center and found a great sales girl at RW & Co. that spent a bunch of time helping me put an outfit together. Problem was that the outfit was going to require black heels and mine need repair in a big, bad way...so I quickly scanned through the few shoes stores but couldn't find what I was looking for. Figuring that I would just have to wear my black boots instead, I was heading out of the mall when I decided to check out Sears just in case.

Well, am I glad I did!!

Sears was having a HUGE shoe sale. Not only did I get a great pair of black heels, but also a very cool pair of red round-toed pumps....each for only $23!!

Anyway...back to the date.... :)

We decided to cab it downtown, which made me happy because that way neither of us had to forfeit drinks with dinner in order to drive home. It also meant that we wouldn't have to walk from the car anywhere so I could wear whatever footwear I wanted. Or so I thought. haha. I forgot that I would have to get from the house, through the somewhat snowy driveway to the cab. I made it, but if someone had filmed the escapade it would have made for a good YouTube video.

Dinner was yummy and our table was really great. We got one of the comfy banquet tables at the back of the room....where we could both sit on one side. So comfortable with little throw pillows and everything. I had crabcakes, and the chicken stuffed with brie & proscuitto. Yum!! Only thing that would have made it better was if I wasn't still sick and getting extra congested from the red wine. Boooo.

After dinner, we headed to the Shoe Shop (of course) for a few after dinner drinks. We were supposed to meet up with some friends, but apparently they had shown up a bit early and decided it was too busy and left. We didn't find it all that busy, but I guess that's the difference a half hour can make. We enjoyed our drinks and people watching, and with a happy buzz on left for home by midnight.
