#ootd Friday night date night, dinner at Cybel, a French Moroccan fusion restaurant which is amazing and we love it. It was three steps from car to table, so perfect for my limited mobility. It was nice to go out and feel normal but it made me so tired. Goodnight 😴 #stpete #stpeteeats
A mirror selfie wearing a blue and white striped button up shirt, light blue denim jeans with a large cuff, a brown leather belt and suede Birkenstocks clogs, standing with a walker in a sunroom next to a swimming pool with colorful patio umbrellas Our food and drinks at Cybel, including Lilya’s Energy green tea with pomegranate juice and local honey and bonanza red wine (bring your own, they do bottle service), and our food which was chicken Schwarma with Mediterranean salad and rice and beef kebab with the same. Me with the food laid out before me in the table Me standing with my walker in front of the restaurant, Cybel

Friday night date night, wherein I sit on a colorful cinder block wall and ask the husband, “What is my hair doing?” He says, “It is looking very Leif Garrett circa 1977,” which makes me smile because he knows that is exactly what I was going for. Dinner at Wild Child 5/5 ⭐️ #stpeteeats #stpete
A blonde haired women (me) sits at a restaurant table holding a pink drink with a lime and a mint sprig in it as well as a short straw. It is the Lost Weekend cocktail at Wild Child which is fresh watermelon, lime, mint, and tequila. I am wearing tortoise shell sunglasses, a patchwork denim dress that buttons down the front, and a chunky gold bracelet. I am smirking because I have a very delicious cocktail and life is good in that moment. A blonde haired woman (me) sits on a cinder block wall. Each block is painted a different contrasting bright color with the mortar lines all painted black. I have my legs crossed and one elbow up on the cinder block ledge. Me in front of a mural that is black and white peacock feathers on a teal background. I have my arms and legs stretched out akimbo as far as possible in a star pose Our food from Wild Child, starting on the left we started with street corn croquetas (chili lime crema, pickled fresnos, cotija, cilantro) and goat cheese stuffed squash blossoms (pistachio butter, baby zucchini, fennel, lavender honey, sumac, all the herbs), then upper right I had the shrimp and snapper ceviche (watermelon, aji panca, cucumber, serranos, avocado, plantain chips) and lower right the husband had the beer battered fish tacos (pickled ramp remoulade, slaw, serranos, flour tortillas)

My husband in Dick’s sporting goods and my arm is holding out two tennis racquets and a can of tennis balls. Also a Tampa Bay Buccaneers hat covered in sequins A dramatic shelf cloud just beyond 43rd Street at sunset tonight

Friday night date night last night (night night) at Red Thread in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. We loved the decor and vibes at Red Thread. It must be a fab late night spot for the youngs. Awesome bar. #stpeteeats #stpete
My husband and me sitting on the patio at Red Thread. There is a small marble top table between us upon which sits a Stella Artois beer for him and water for me and our appetizers. A sample plate of grilled bread with three dips and a bowl of coconut crusted deep fried olives. A date and chili cashew salad with tahini dressing and a roasted half chicken on a bed of rice and vegetables.
