My husband and I went out for a date night a few days ago and it was such a great time. We have two children and our lives have been very busy and the amount of time that we get together has lessened over the years. It is rare that we get to spend more than one hour together alone. My mother was kind enough to offer us babysitting and we took her up on that. The dinner that we enjoyed was wonderful because we did not make it. The restaurant that was visited is kind of upscale but not too much because dressing up to the hill is not enjoyed by either of us. The steaks were cooked perfect and the chocolate cake was mouth watering.

After this fun we went to the theaters to escape from reality. They are about a ten minute walk and since he just got his knees successfully treated walking was easy. I am romantic and love chick flicks so it was the movie about relationships. He was not that into it but because of the love that is shared for the one actress amongst us there was no issue. After the entire film it was back to reality and when the time was away it seemed just great. The truth is once we got home and saw our happy kids it dawned on us how much they were missed and enjoyed.

The West Wing (Season 5) DVD Review

Premiering in September 1999, the original NBC series The West Wing built an instant cult following with its seemingly realistic weekly excursions into the inner sanctums of the White House. The series became such a hit that some pollsters claimed that certain people actually believed Jed Bartlet was the real president (although, if true, this is more of a negative reflection on the intelligence of the electorate, and not necessarily an indication of West Wing’s realism). But regardless, the truth of the matter is that West Wing definitely strikes a chord with certain audiences, providing entertaining brew of action, suspense, and drama on a weekly basis…

Seasoned Hollywood actor Martin Sheen plays the lead role of President Jed Bartlet. The day-to-day affairs of Bartlet’s administration are run by a number of individuals who surround him, among them are: Claudia “C.J.” Cregg (Allison Janney), Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe), Toby Ziegler (Richard Schiff), Leo McGarry (John Spencer), and Charlie Young (Dule Hill). West Wing follows these dedicated staffers as they work extended hours behind-the-scenes to help keep the White House running smoothly. Along the way, the stress of the job and the characters’ personal lives make for an interesting glimpse into what many believe is an accurate portrayal of a real-life White House administration…

The West Wing (Season 5) DVD offers a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere “7A WF 83429″ in which tensions between Walken and Bartlett’s staffs continue to flare while the search for Zoey continues. Meanwhile, the death of Shareef triggers a terrorist bombing at a movie theater in Turkey which kills eighty people including members of the US military… Other notable episodes from Season 5 include “Constituency of One” in which Amy Parker participates in a personal lobbying effort that incurs the wrath of Bartlett, and “An Khe” in which Bartlett deploys an elite SEAL team to help rescue the pilots of a downed Navy plane that crashed in North Korean territory…
