Breakfast and a Movie

I had been waiting for today all week just like a little kid waits for Christmas. After finishing reading The Hunger Games on Thursday I couldn't wait to see the movie. We got tickets for the early morning so that Kim and JaLayne could babysit Ellie for us. BJ suggested going to breakfast at The Original Pancake House beforehand. I am not one to turn down a good breakfast. (One of my favorite indulgences.) When Ellie woke up at six this morning I nursed her, laid her back in her crib and crawled back in bed and waited for my alarm to go off. I couldn't sleep. We left the house around seven and had a dreamy time together. BJ's chocolate chip pancakes were better than my German pancakes, and although the book was better than the movie, I still loved it. Our date today was a good, good date. I'm still smiling about it.
