As indicated by the title, Gabe requested that I blog a detailed account of our date night yesterday evening. I will indulge him. And he wants comments people!
He's been working alot because of the new computer system, so I was thrilled when he asked yesterday morning what I wanted to do that evening! I said I was up for anything :-) Famous last words! Through an up and down, yes and no day, we finally managed to get away for dinner. Sam came over to watch the kiddos for a couple of hours, and we took off- me in the Aerostar and Gabe behind me on the bike to pick me up after I parked it with a For Sale sign in it. In the parking lot, I readied myself, helmet on, backpack on, all strapped up... and attempted to hop on the bike. I couldn't get on! His new bike is too tall for me to swing my leg over the top- I can get it up there, but I'm so stretched out that there is no "hopping" happening! I had to climb on the main seat, and then scootch myself back to the passenger seat, all while he is giggling uncontrollably (like this is just unbelievable- HEY! I know I am SHORT! This is NOT a BIG SURPRISE!!)
We cruised out to Country Boys for a delicioso dinner, and then back home. Not a long date, but a get-away none the less! (Although, for the first time ever, CB's pulled pork sandwiches were overwhelmingly greasy...bummer.) Both times Gabe was very helpful and parked next to a curb or our retaining wall so I would have no trouble getting on and off, though I'm sure he had a big grin on his face watching his "stubby" wife, sliding on and off his big new bike :-)
Now, let the short jokes and stubby comments begin! C'mon- I can take it ;-)

No short jokes from me as I really have no room to talk....I am just picturing you trying to "hop" on the bike while he is trying not to laugh too hard. LOL At least you didn't fall over taking the bike with you or something. :-) But sounds like a fun night. Glad you got away for dinner.
I think you're taller than me (5' 3"), so no short jokes from this corner... I was picturing a bicycle the whole time, but maybe it's actually a motorcycle? :]
Thanks for your sympathies :-)
Betsy, I'm actually shorter! 5'1"!! And yes, motorcycle, as in, sport bike.
Lynn- I was VERY worried about tipping the bike over! He just laughed and said he could handle the bike, just to jump higher...
Annie- I couldn't even get off the ground :-) Maybe it was because I was worried about tipping it over- not sure....
I know Gabe would love the comments, but the problem is that your friends are all stinkin' short as well (except you, Annie!!!) That said, I would have loved to have seen it! :-) Glad you guys got a night out. Miss you!
no jokes from mom, but wait for your dad to find out, haha love mom
dad says, "Stubby stricks again"
dad's 2nd thought, did you get a video to send to america's funniest videos, ten thousand would come in handy.
