Jason and I had a night out last night, alone. The children were with a trustworthy babysitter so I didn't have to give leaving a second thought, and it was fantastic.
We went down the street to a newer Mediterranean restaurant, Ranoush. It was so yummy and there was a belly dancer (Jason and I have an uncanny knack for eating at places with belly dancers. It's not on purpose, but is pretty fun to watch. Those ladies are talented!) It helped me to remember the part of me that loves international cuisine and culture. I spend so much time thinking about things regarding those 2 and under that it's very refreshing to get in touch with other parts of myself that for a season, don't get much attention.
After dinner we walked down to the newest hot spot on The Loop, the Moonrise hotel. They have a restaurant called The Eclipse (clever eh) and it has a rooftop terrace. We met friends there for a birthday get together and it was so much fun. You can see downtown from the roof, the weather was perfect, and we even found a table for us ladies to lounge at, which was no small feat. We drank, we laughed, we had adult conversation. It was just what I needed.
Even though I stayed up a lot later than usual, I have more energy today than I usually do because I did something for me, and for us as partners, not parents.
Sidenotes: I absolutely LOVE living in University City.
Totally unrelated, I LOVE the new Regina Spektor album. Check it out.
