Benny gets a 3 day weekend. WOOHOO! I love that his job works 4 days a week/10 hours a day instead of the normal 5/8's. So I get him for 3 days all to myself with the two little ones of course.
Except we wont have the two little ones Saturday night! My folks have agreed to let us have a date night every month and Saturday is the day!
There is one slight problem though and where I could use a little of your help. We are broke. Funny how bills and food and gas can do that to ya. Ok, not funny but life. So, we got about $20 to use for our date night so it's time to get creative. That's where you come in to play. What are some good things we could do on $20 without kids?
Thinking the movies because I don't think we have EVER gone to the movies without a kid. I already had Little Man when we got together so we always took him. Actually, the first couple of years we were together we (Benny and I) never even went to the movies together at all. It always worked out where either he took Little Man or I did but we never all 3 went. I don't know why. I don't even know what we would go see. Guess I need to see what's playing.
So, what else would be a great idea on limited funds. I know I have some creative readers so let the ideas poor in!!!
Also, gotta tell you about a funny conversation I had with Benny.
First, I gotta tell ya that my brain sometimes thinks really random stuff that has nothing to do with what we are talking about. The smallest thing can get my brain going in a totally different direction.
Anyway, we were sitting in bed watching football (I think) the other day and a commercial for Private Practice came on. That got us talking about how pretty Kate Walsh is. He asked if they still showed the Cadillac commercial that she was on. I told him I didn't think so but that you can look it up on youtube. While we were having this conversation I was digging in my purse for something and ran across Toots blue ribbon from her rodeo debut. So out of no where I said "You need to nail her......cork board back together so I can hang her stuff up". I paused because of something on TV and when I finished the sentence I looked at him and he looks SOOOOO surprised and confused.
Benny: "WHAT?!"
Now I am confused.
Me: "The corner came unnailed and I need you to fix it."
Him: (now even more confused) "WHAT?!"
Me: "Toots cork board. You need to fix it."
Him: "OHHHHH, I just thought you told me I needed to nail Kate Walsh!"
Then we just both cracked up and I told him if he ever had the opportunity to be my guest.
I guess the pause in my sentence threw him off and I was confused because in my head, I had totally switched subject and didn't think of how it would sound. He is usually really good at keeping up with me. Maybe he just heard what he wanted to hear!!!

Im gonna got with the majority here and say rent some movies to watch at home, have a good dinner and some drinks and youve got the whole house to yourselves where you are in your own space and can do whatever you want!
Ha Ha!
What a funny story!
You need to nail her..
Have fun on your date! My vote is going to the movies but sit toward the back and make out with your man like the good ole' days!
Oh, yeah and sneak in snacks : )
Yep, he needs to nail her. Gah. : )
Have fun on your date night! Staying home and having an entire conversation without interruptions is a good date for us!
let's see. if there's a local art gallery or an art museum close by. or go to an antique store. on the way home purchase a nice bottle of wine; cheese and crackers. light some candles or if you have a fireplace. build a roaring fire to sit by while drinking and snacking. later.....
or purchase some massage oils then give each other massages which could led into other activities. have fun
Hope you had a good date night! Playing board games is always fun (especially if you make it a drinking game!)
have a picnic at a local park: $10 for sandwiches/groceries or free depending on what's in your pantry :)
and then...
go see a drive-in movie: $10
can't wait to hear what y'all did!
