Anniversary

Our wedding anniversary is around now and since Arial's mom was here, we decided to go out.

To start we went to a nice Indian restaurant that we like a lot but don't get to go to much because it's a little pricey. It was pretty nice. We got the same things that we always get and discussed how we would be more adventurous with our ordering if we went there more often. (Wow, all of a sudden I felt like I was writing a book report.)

When asked how spicy we wanted our food, Arial said "medium" and I said "hot for Americans but medium to mild for Indians". Mine did not come back "hot for Americans", in fact it was pretty mild. Arial's tasted like it may have once been in the same room that a spice had once been in.

Other than the lack of spice, the food was good.

After a short stop at home to see if Frances was still okay with Grandma (she was, she doesn't need us anymore. :_( ), we went to the Cheesecake Factory and had some cheese cake. There were 8 million people waiting (it seemed like a quarter of them were pregnant). We were told that it would be a 15-30 minute wait. After 30-45 minutes, we were led to a table. The cheesecake was good.

The plan was to then go to an improv comedy show but we were too late leaving the restaurant to get there in time. So instead Arial came up with the plan to go to Wal-Mart and buy a DVD player (ours is broken) and a DVD.

It turns out that you can get a simple DVD player for $33. So we did. The thing is quite small and to our amazement it actually works. It doesn't have a lot of flashy features but it does plays DVDs and CDs which is all we used our old one for anyway.

We plucked Panic Room from the bargain bin and set off for home. The movie was okay. Arial fell asleep for the end, which was fine since it had a really stupid ending.

All in all a pretty nice evening.
