Dinner, movie, sex.
That used to be a fairly standard date for Chris and me. Nowadays, we’re lucky to get one out of three done in any given week.
That’s to say that it’s been a looonnnng time since Chris and I have been on a date. I vaguely remember seeing “Burn After Reading,” but I’m not sure what year that was. (Total waste of a movie ticket, but it had Frances McDormand, the Coen brothers and Brad Pitt in geeky gym shorts, so…..)
Last Friday, though, we did it. We had the in-laws watch the girls while my husband and I went on a legitimate date.
The movie? “Avatar” in 3D = YES.
The dinner? A greasy appetizer and well drinks at the Applebee’s next door = NO.
The sex? Well….ahem, let me tell you what! It was absolutely…..
Hey, two out of three ain’t bad.
How funny, my mom was in town, and we went to Avatar on Friday as well! We went with a non-3d showing because it’s at the adult only theater that serves dinner and drinks AT YOUR SEAT! I love that place, because less $$ to the sitter, and you get dinner and a movie in one fell swoop.
As for #3 on your list….well, house guests cramp my style
Date night become more frequent when the kids get older. Then you get pregnant again… *sigh*
And the older they get the more crafty you will become. . . .Good luck with that!
Hurrah! This gives me hope.
