On December 3, I tweeted the following:
We hadn’t been on a date since my birthday, which was in May. Both the girls were in bed, Unknown Tio was left in charge, and we walked down the block to get a drink and dinner. We left after 8:00pm and were back before 10:00pm. It was brief, but WONDERFUL. We really need to get our act together and do it more often.
If you are interested, I am hosting a $50 The Home Depot gift card giveaway. It’s easy to enter and they have all kinds of stuff you might need.
More self-promotion: my latest post at CafeMom, Birth of a Tradition is up. Every time someone reads it, a blogger in heaven gets a new laptop.
And now your Friday Fortune Cookie
(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):
Go ahead and ask for what you want.

Date Night! Yay! I’m so happy you are taking one. My sister always gets excited when my mom takes all the girls for an overnight – I can imagine you getting just a few hours with your Mr would be wonderful.
Good for you! I know all to well how rare Date Night is. Hope you had a good time 🙂
I’ll head over to cafe mom because this blogger would like a new laptop.
You definitely need to make “date night” a priority–at least once a month!
Date night…?? Hmmm?? What in the world could that be? LOL And I love your “angel in heaven gets a laptop”…that cracked me up.
glad you had some time to relax even though it was short…going to check out your cafe mom post..
Mamis and papis definitely need to keep dating. I glad you got to get a little time out.
I was gonna reply at the other site, but then I’d have to fill stuff out and such. lol
As far as holiday traditions go, my family was never stable enough to really develop traditions, unless of course you consider bouncing back and forth between parents a barrel of fun! lol
Yeah, I kinda hate that people have to join sites to comment. Too much work, but thank you for reading.
Have a great time on your date night!
Wow! Yes, you need more date nights. I’ll go read your other post right away.
Good for you for getting out for date night. I think date nights are a necessity! Have a great weekend!
Ha, a blogger in heaven gets a new laptop. Hilarious! That is good you got a date night – do it more often! It can be so great even if it’s just a couple of hours.
That’s really great to find time dating and refreshing the romance with our husbands! Keep the romance afloat!

Yay! That is great….you need to do that more! We didn’t and I regret that.
Ha! Awesome fortune cookie! I love date nights – the Hubby and I are overdue for one. I’m glad you had a good time on yours.
good for you two to put your plan in action. Hopefully you both had great things to talk about over dinner.
Yea for date nights! Definitely tell your husband he needs to take you out more.
OMGoodness a blogger in Heaven…I was paying attention! It is really funny but now that we are grandparents x 13 my husband and I think of every excuse to have kid nights and when they are not here we are thinking of fun things to do when they are. I am off to check the contest and your post…
Good Guy and I are alone here all the time, and I still like date night! Glad you had fun.
Glad you two had a sweet little break.
On a random note, what’s the story about the writing across the fortune cookie (in bed)?
The writing across the fortune cookie is just me playing with textures and layers in Photoshop Elements. Not very interesting at all.
woohoo for date night!!! yea, we don’t do that much either 🙁 i love your ‘wonderful life’ throwback!! can i be the angel that gets a new laptop 😉
hope you had a great date night!
xo
