My husband doesn't like going out on a school night.
He never has.
It used to be a source of contention but I figured out it tastes like chicken and just went without him. Simple.
Increasingly I find that I don't like going anywhere without him. Especially since my plus 1 of choice moved away from the area.
It's free shrimp season I know. WE know. But we're old and ornery and like to do what WE want to do.
Last night...instead of going have free shrimp, we bowed out of something and went to see "Silver Linings Playbook."
On a school night.
It was all Robby's idea.
I was all shocked and whatnot but I just got movie cute dressed and we rolled out. The movie was sooooooooooooooo good and we had an awesome time just going to the movies on a Wednesday night in our little sleepy area.
One the way home...
Robby: Were you surprised that I suggested we go somewhere on a school night?
Me: Well...yeah...now that you mentioned it. What's that all about?
Robby: I just want to be better. It was nice to do something different and we didn't have to get dressed up. And besides...I'm trying to get in all my votes before the end of the year so I can be HUSBAND OF THE YEAR this year.
Me: It was really nice. Thank you for taking me to the movies but now that I know it was all a ploy to influence the judges...
And we laughed all the way home discussing the end of the year/world/etc.
And we drove home sleepy, took the doggies out and went to bed.
Little things.
Different kind of pebbles.
Monnie & Robby against the world.
Do something nice and out of the ordinary for your guy/girl/babies/mom/dad/doggie. You'll love it.
