We did it!! Husband and I went out to dinner last night.
Oh my oh my do I hate the concept of "date nights." I remember going to a baby shower when I was sooo far away from even thinking about parenthood, and a bunch of super-dee-dooper lame moms (who I probably would think are refreshingly awesome if I were to meet them now) were discussing the frequency and scheduling rigidity of date nights.
It sounded so stifling... every third Thursday, they would go out for a dinner or a movie. If I were to ever have children... ah, you know the drill. Needless to say, in retrospect, I'm ridiculously jealous of those women who made keeping a relationship as a couple who relates to the outside world a priority.
It just felt so. damn. good. to have a reason to do my hair up all nice and put on full makeup. It was so refreshing to sit across a table from my husband and concentrate only on each other. I don't think I've been that relaxed in months.
I'm not sure anyone reads this, but anyhow, do you have date nights? Do you schedule them?
I think you need a cutie nickname for Husband. My nickname is Mammoth. Not because of _that_. It's the facial hair and generally primitive ways that earned him such. Anyhow, you're creative- find something cute!
