Adventures with Robert:Dating My Brother in Law

A few weeks ago, my brother husband in law Robert asked me out on a date.  He asked me to find something for us to do together so I picked a play...because you know how much I love the theater!  He gave me his credit card and I booked some tickets to Circle Mirror Transformation at Curious Theatre.  I'm in love with this place and I've seen every show this season...and I'm planning to see many more!

Rob picked me up and told me he was going to surprise me with a restaurant.  Then he drove to Wendy's.

He was kidding of course and drove around the corner to Le Central French Restaurant!! I almost peed my pants because i was so excited!  We had had a conversation about this place a few weeks earlier and he remembered!


I like to be adventurous when I'm eating so I tried many things that I'd never had before...like Escargot and Mussels.  To see details of what we ate...visit The Rookie Foodie.

We shared most of the dishes so we could try more menu items and we were both stuffed.

Something About Mary..

Robert was wearing too much clothing...making him a little hot and ended up making his hair stick straight up.  I called him Mary the rest of the night.  We also drank an entire bottle of wine.


I ordered this for dessert not knowing that Robert doesn't like Chocolate.  He took one bite...I got the rest.


We finally made it to the play.  Circle Mirror Transformation is about five people that take a 6 week drama class and through a series of well known acting exercises get to know each other.  It all takes place in a Rec Center type room with limited props.  During the play, we learn about each character as they tell each other's story.  It was very interesting and as always...I loved every minute of it.

Robert wanted to go dancing after the show but since I don't wear my stilettos very often...my feet were swelling up like a pregnant chick eating Wendy's fries.  Instead we went to The Yard House for one last drink.

I'm getting to old to party past 11pm.  I wouldn't have made it anyway!

  4. I think it's awesome that you and your brother in law get along so well! I have sister in laws and we get along but lets just say they are different. He sounds like a great guy... any guy that remembers a restaurant that a woman mentions gets lots of points!

  5. I think it is so sweet that you have such a good relationship with him. Like the sister you never had... or something like that.

    Sorry. I guess that was kind of mean.

  9. Thinking...thinking...thinking. Nope, my brother-in-law has never invited me out on a "date" and certainly not to a cool restaurant!

  10. Is he a friend with all the benefits of a husband? Or do I have that backwards?

    I have ZERO Brothers-in-law so that sucks. I don't even have any Sisters-in-law.

  13. What a great idea - makes me wish we had more family close. And hey, I'm really, really sorry about Connie's Diary. It sucks that there are people you don't trust in your life.

  14. First of all, I am so sorry about the lousy people who made you stop writing the Connie Diaries - I really enjoyed them and wish people would let you be you because you are a spectacular woman! HUGGLES!!
    Secondly... I adore the friendship you have with Robert, it is too cute - the photo with the caption "Something About Mary" made me crack up out loud. I love how that you have swaped a "sister-wife" (how is Bobbi, anyway?) for a "brother-husband!"

  15. Oh my god - that's so cute that he wanted to take you out. My brother in law would never think of that - he'd probably think it was weird (or maybe his wife would...) Anyway - sounds like a lot of fun.

  19. Did you help him do his hair?

    Ewww I now gross!

    I can hardly stand to be in the same room as my brothers-in-law so I'm a little jealous of your relationship with RObert. I wish mine was different but that story mirrors yours with your Mother so...
