Jason and I don’t get out much anymore these days. When you live in a house where the one person who can’t fend for them self goes to bed at 7, your night kind of ends then.
But we are so grateful when the stars and schedules and babysitters align and we get to go do fun things. Not that sitting at home with wine and Netflix is not fun because it totally is, but sometimes you need the kind of fun that involves paying someone else to make you a cocktail, a new to you restaurant (this one, highly recommend), loud music and lots of laughing.
We are so grateful to have found the last part of that in our friends Krissy and Mo. And also ever so grateful for my parents who let Nora have a sleepover so we can step away from the Netflix and step out in the cool, adult world with our cool, adult friends every once in a while.
It’s good for the soul.
Also, major props to Mo who filled us in on the fact that Uber is available in the Raleigh now. We used it to secure a safe ride home and not only was it a million times more pleasant that trying to find a taxi that someone else might steal so then having to wait for another one whose credit card machine is “broken,” but it was literally about half the price of what we’d normally pay for a cab to get home. Aside from briefly being worried that we were about to be murdered by our driver because she was wearing latex gloves (apparently it helps her psoriasis because we asked what they were for to ensure we weren’t about to be murdered, but once we got that out of the way, it was nothing but pleasant as she told us all about her grandkids), it was a 5 star experience and I will definitely use it again. Payment is linked to your Uber account so no cash needed. Heck, you don’t even need your credit card because it’s all done through your account. genius! You can sign up here and you can also use my code juliec125 to get your first ride free (up to $30).
