Warning: Grumpy Karen ahead

I'm having a day.  I promise Happy Karen will be back tomorrow, but today you're getting Grumpy Karen.  Deal with it.  I'm tired, I'm working someone else's store and it's dirty and unorganized and I'm tired.  Or did I say that one already?  I'm not sure, I'm tired.  In the past 12 days I've had 1 day off (the vast majority of which I spent on the road to visit The Girl and at a meeting for The Arc) and worked 83 hours, not counting the 10+ hours I will have worked by the end of the day today and the 12ish hours I'll work tomorrow.  Oh, and I'm working all weekend.  So please forgive me if I'm a little tired.  And grumpy.

So here it is: I just can't understand how some people can be so incredibly stupid and still have the confidence to speak.  I don't know how many times today I just wanted to throttle someone just for opening their mouth.  Thankfully I'm a professional, and I maintained what my employees call my "customer voice" but on the inside I was screaming "SHUT UP!!!"  I am beyond ready for this day to be over so I can go home, get a hug from Man and crash.  Who's going to bring me a beer?!

In need of suggestions

Since Man and I started juicing, we're really trying to change our attitude toward food.  It's great, because we're working toward being healthier and doing good things for our bodies, but it's really taking a tole on our relationship.  Not only because we were both so grumpy for so long when we first started, but also because historically, our date nights have always revolved around food!  Don't get me wrong, we're fine and we'll get through this just like we have and will overcome anything that comes our way, we're just lacking a little creativity on this one.  We've gone round and round trying to come up with ideas.  I suggested a movie, but he thinks a complete date would be dinner and a movie, because otherwise you're just sitting together in a dark room, staring at a screen and not interacting.  I suggested we walk around Newport but he thinks all the restaurants and snack shops would just be too tempting.  So now it's on you all.  Give me date ideas!  Leave them in the comments so others can build on them.  Help!
