The plan was to partake in a much anticipated Thai cooking class. Well, that didn't happen. Here's what did:
First of all, we believe in being on time and leaving early just to make sure you find the place you're headed. Well, thank goodness we did that. The map that was given to us didn't really speak the truth and we very quickly realized we were living The Amazing Race. We drove circles around the area and eventually, after superb scouting on our behalf, we spotted this wee little Chef that flagged the cooking location! (Sometimes it seems like signage is a Canadian thing). Anyways, we parked the car and ran up to the front steps.
Ding, dong! Hello??? Knock, knock, knock. NOTHING.
Hmmmm........seemed strange. Phil got on the phone and called the lady in charge. I could tell from his mannerisms that whatever was up was NOT good. The lady directed Phil to go through the gate, down the stairs, around the pool, and into the kitchen. In the air conditioned space (ha! what a tactic), she told us that the class was cancelled and she forgot to let us know. BIG BUMMER. Our first night out since baby and our date was bombarded with disappointment.
I'm telling you, I was SO UPSET. Eyeballs filling up with tears upset. What were we going to do now? Date options aren't exactly endless in this place and in the moment I wanted to kill somebody.
Well, sometimes you can do as you feel in a SAFE and COMPLETELY LEGAL way! My negative emotions led us to...............the shooting range! HA! There's nothing like blowing off some steam with a 9 mm.
Kidding.
The entire time I was sweaty. Shaking. Afraid for my life. Praying for all 20 bullets to fly out of the gun without my assistance. Of course that didn't happen and I had to do the job solo. BAH!
That being said, you can see that I performed well :) BULLSEYE!!!!!!!
Following this heart-pounding excitement, we decided to tone things down a bit with dinner at Pizza Express. We ate delicious pizza and made up actions to the "colour orange" song for Nory. Onlookers seemed curious but we were having too much fun alone to initiate a full-blown concert for other diners.
During dinner, we also played "The Bachelorette" and took turns being Chris Harrison - asking the typical date questions that make viewers roll their eyes but keep watching. It was a great time :)
Despite the initial letdown, this date night is another fun memory to add to the love story. Our Thai cooking class is being rescheduled for the fall and it has been upgraded to a private session. In addition, we have been given a free voucher to attend any other class we like! If these two classes don't work out, there's always paintball. Or bumper cars. Or......the shooting range.
