Before Snickers and I were coaches, we were husband and wife -- something that I think even he and I often forget at times. We've invested so much time, energy and money into being coaches, business owners and managers at Hulk's, it's incredible. Hulk is very much our baby; our over sized, big, big baby and we love him so very much. We even talk to him, it's true. We're always sure to say good afternoon when we arrive and goodbye when we leave. We even make members say goodnight to him too, well those who leave at closing time with us.
But anyways...
Sunday nights are our couple date nights and now more than ever we've been really cherishing them. We try to not talk about Hulk and our members but it's next to impossible to do so.
Sunday night also marks Cheat Meal #1 of 2 for me and it's the biggie among them. We have this favourite little BBQ restaurant tucked away nere Lotte Mart where we go every single Sunday evening after work. There, we dine on delish beef doused in overly garlic sauce with an accompanying overdose of hot green peppers. The side dishes include bean sprouts, kimchi, carrots and onions, as well as a dish loaded up with green onions and other greens for you to drown your meat in when you wrap it up in the sesame seed leaves. It's pure D\divine; I love it. This cheat meal isn't much of a cheat when I think of cheat meals I used to indulge in and weren't really meals at all -- a big box of theater popcorn or creamy biscuits and cream filled bread. What makes this a cheat meal is the amount of which I eat. It is by far my biggest meal of the week... and perhaps the ice cream that I occasionally top it off with at the end is definitely the mark of it being a cheat meal.
I've stuck religiously to my six smaller meals a day and my body is so accustomed to it that it tells me when I am due for my next meal. My Sunday night Cheat Meal however, well let's just say Monday morning it's me telling my body to eat.
Tonight we enjoyed our Cheat Meal together with Germany. She's still in Korea but is sadly leaving this coming week. We thought it'd be nice to have one more meal with us before she left.
After we dropped her off, we jumped back into our usual Sunday night couple date night mode and it was off to Dankook we went for some lake side coffee and snuggles. Back when I first started dating Snickers, he used to buy me this particular brand of bottled coffee at the local corner store and then we'd sit there sharing it. When I had noted that I loved coffee, I was really expecting him to take me to Coffee Bean or Starbucks -- a coffee shop that served real, fresh coffee. Non of this canned coffee on a corner store shelf stuff. But Snickers had no money and what little money he did have he used it to buy me corner store coffee. Sometimes he still buys me that very same coffee and I am reminded of the Snickers I first met and our first dates together. I remember he wore this Kellogs Corn Flakes Tony the Tiger t-shirt that had Japanese writing on it and I had noted that I thought it was cute. He wore that shirt countless times as a result... so cute!!!
I am definitely not the same girl Snickers first met, nor is he the same guy, but sometimes we like to revisit our back-in-the-days starting days when we first started dating and that's what we did tonight. I may be all independent and sport a I-can-take-care-of-myself tough girl attitude but I know Snickers takes pride in being able to look after me so for tonight's date I pretended to be colder than I was. He wrapped his big arms around me and for that moment I was engulfed by my big strong Korean man and he was proud.
