Date Night

Rex has been super busy with school lately, so we haven't been able to spend a lot of time together. This weekend is awesome, though, because not only do we get to go to the LAS VEGAS PET EXPO today, but also Rex took me out to dinner last night!

The hilarity actually started before dinner, when I stopped by the bathroom before we went into the buffet at Sunset Station (it's delicious, by the way). There was a cleaning lady in there cleaning the bathroom, but there were also other women in there using it so I figured it was not a big deal. I went into the stall to do my business, and I noticed that the cleaning lady started sweeping out each individual stall. When she got to my stall, she obviously couldn't clean in there because, you know, it was occupied. Instead of waiting the one minute for me to finish, though, she shoved the broom under the stall door and started sweeping around my feet! Ahhh! It was so awkward and weird. Crazy cleaning lady!

The fun didn't stop when we got to dinner. After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, we finally got our seats. As we were waiting for the waiter to take our drink order, I said, "I really appreciate you taking the time to go out with me. I know you've been really busy - it must be tough to be in grad school and be married at the same time." The man at the table next to us was obviously eavesdropping, so I went on to add, "And PLUS, on TOP of being married, you still make time for me, your girlfriend! I really don't know how you do it all." The man looked very alarmed and kind of glared at us. Rex just looked really confused. HAHAHAHAHAHA! When we finally got up to get our food I explained the situation...but it was funny.

I decided that I would like some stir-fry for dinner. They have a great stir-fry station at the buffet that is kind of like bd's Mongolian Barbecue. I walked up to the station and said to the Asian man working there, "Hello, I would like to have some stir-fry, please!" He said, "Okay, but first you pick your wedgie." I laughed nervously and just stood there, hoping he would start making my food. He stared at me as if I was an idiot and said, "YOU MUST PICK YOUR WEDGIE!" I looked confused, I'm sure. Was this a funny joke where the guy was from? I cautiously looked over my shoulder at my pants...as I already knew, I had no wedgie. What was this man talking about?! Finally, he motioned to the display of vegetable options and practically yelled, "YOUR WEDGIES!!" Then I got it - he wanted me to choose my "veggies." AH! I was so embarrassed, but I know I'm not the first person who didn't understand him. What a goofy circumstance.

So pretty much, I spent a huge portion of the night laughing...but that's what makes a good date night, right? It was a fun time, and I'm just sad that Rex is back to studying now. :-(
