Where Romance goes to Die

My very fabulous sister watched my children so that John and I could go on a date this weekend.

We ran errands. We went to the hardware store and the LDS Church distribution center and the toy store. Then we went to dinner and talked about parent-teacher conferences and how we are going to schedule the coming weeks.

We have officially become old and boring.

But I thought dinner was fantastic. Mostly because at this point in the pregnancy if I'm not sick, I'm hungry and I ate a giant piece of meat. And the errands were necessary. We bought things that will make my life easier/happier and we got most of the Christmas shopping done. I know I'm not going to be up for much shopping later, so it was perfect.

So while popular culture may tell you that you have to spend lots of money and go to exotic places to enjoy a good date - it is a lie.

As far as I'm concerned, requirements for a good date are: build your relationship and enjoy one another's company and explore common interests. Check, check and check. If you also get good food, well, what more could you ask?

I'd like the senior discount with that, please.
