date night.

this is back when we used to go "out." have mercy -- is that lipstick?

tonight we got all dressed up --

matt = scout uniform
erin = matt's t-shirt and yoga pants

-- and we baked apple pies,
watched the flight of the conchords,
and played dr. mario on my antique SNES.

sidenote: there are very few things i am completely certain about in this life, and whether or not i should be proud of this little known fact is a topic for another day, but dr. mario is my game. at one point in my childhood, my cockiness reached new and interesting levels when my friend patricia, my only worthy opponent, and i started competing at level 20, high speed, while hanging upside down. i haven't tried that stunt in a while, but if challenged i'll make you a valiant promise to send you skulking homeward with your tail between your legs.

and it looks like my date has crashed on the couch. and i've been blogging. and that's why i no longer own lipstick.

i used to have a snes but our dog chewed the cord so i got rid of it when we moved here. i loved dr m but wasn't the queen like you. i was the queen of the mario brothers game that came with the snes though :)

awww. you two look so cute! glad you were able to get out and have a date night. sadly, ours often end up the same way - one of us passed out and me on the computer! hey, i just caught up on your daily posts - excellent work with the photography, friend! stellar shots of the bayou as well. as they say down here, "good on ya, mate!"

i pretty sure that when it comes to knowing things with complete certainty in this life, i know fewer than you, but i do know this-any guy that takes you on a date while you're donned in an old shirt and yoga pants--total keeper.
