Since we arrived home for good after much traveling in early June, we have spent most of our at-home time together as follows: I watch TV and play games on the computer in the living room while Andrew reads theology books in the office (fka the dining room). The result being that while, yes, we are "together" a lot, we're really not "together" all that much.
Add to this the fact that we're on something of a tight budget this month and don't really feel like we should be going out to dinner and movies... and you've got something of a boring, stay at home situation.
So tonight, I asked my husband on a date, and we funded our date night on our spare change.
For dinner, the frozen pizza we already had in the freezer and the bottle of wine I found in the trunk of my car (don't ask). For dessert, Albertson's brand chocolate chip cookies we bought with our spare change. For entertainment, a DVD rented using one of those fancy schmancy "redbox" things. They cost a dollar normally, but a quick internet search before leaving the house and we found a coupon code that gave us the rental for free.
So, we had our pizza, wine, movie, and cookie dessert for the cost of a package of house brand cookies: $1.94. We rock.
That is all. Good night.
