I apologize to my fan for not being more attentive to my blog. I'm new at this blog and life got crazy and I shirked my dating goal and my blogging resposibility. Please forgive me.
We were long overdue for a date (as my fan often has reminded me.) I asked my husband if we could go on a date that evening and all I got was a half hearted shrug. Obviously, that response was not the one I'd hoped for. A short time later I asked again, same response. Now I was getting a little peaved. Honestly, I wasn't feeling up to hitting the town either, but I had my blog fan to think of and I was feeling disconnected from Andy. No wife wants to receive a disinterested shrug in response to a date invite.
Well, my body language was easy for him to read so he told the kids that after they went to bed we would head out on a date. Now, I have a confession to make. My first idea for a date was the movies. I know, don't lecture...not creative. I was tired and uninspired. Lucky for my fan, The Lion King in 3D was all that was playing. No thanks. So we've already eaten dinner, what to do, what to do?
Well, I did have a plan for a creative inexpensive date. Are you ready for this? I loaded up a backpack with a bottle of wine, 2 wine glasses, some dice and a few other necessary items. My husband thought we would go somewhere and have a drink. Eh... Not lovin that idea. Then he came up with a brilliant idea. I say brilliant, because it was the one I'd already come up with.
So, backpack and flashlight in hand we headed out the door. We walked through our backyard, out the gate, through the space behind our house. We call it green space in Colstrip. Behind that is nothing but pasture land and mine property. Out in the back of the green space sits our little 1970's camper. We climbed in, lit some candles, uncorked the wine. Ta Da! Free Date!
The rest of the night was filled with dice rolling, wine drinking and....oh you can figure it out. When the campers a rocking don't come a knockin'. Heehee. Well, needless to say, I no longer felt disconnected from my husband.
