Good thing he's pretty.

First I must add this disclaimer because the man I am married to reads my blog. Uhem.. I love my husband and this post is by far no reflection on his overall character other than he being of the male persuastion.
Now, husband look over here... you are getting sleepy, vvvveeerrrrry sleeepy, you will not remember this post, you will not think your wife is insane, these are not the droids you are looking for...


*pokes husband*


Ok, so we're good.
The man I married can be daft I tell ya.
 Ok I am getting ahead of myself, I have to back up a bit, but I have to do  it quick in case he comes too..
We have ceased to have what would be construed as an official date night in our house for a loooonnng time and I've been feeling like I need a little romancing. By romancing I mean having him plan out the night, something sultry, sexy and just for the two of us. I don't expect him to cook, but I would probably orgasm right there if he actually cooked something that wasn't KD or take out! 
 After many years together I have learned that in order to get the man I sleep with to actually do something I would like him too, I have to come right out and ask. Do not hint, do not beat around the bush, grab the bat and hit him right on the noodle. 
So I let him know, that I think it's time we had a date night.
Great idea he says. 
Perfect, your job is to plan one, all you deal?
Deal he says.
So uhm, yeah that was several months ago.
So last month, I cooked a rocking dinner of Steak, BB'd fancy potatoes, scallops, home made crab cakes, lit some candles and we had a little picnic in the living room.
Just so you know, no little Cub's were present or accounted for during this date night.

At the end of the night I say to Mr. was supposed to plan a date night.
Now that's how you plan a date night.(HINT HINT) of which I know better, but a girl can tire easily if she has to swing the bat around too many times.
So that was over a month ago...
I finally broke down and asked him if I was ever going to get a date night.
One of these days, yup..
*sigh, picks up bat*
 I  let him know all of the things I would like to do on this one day date and that I would rather like this date to happen before the Cub comes home from holidays. ( which is this weekend by the way, this makes me happy because I've missed him more this go around, also this gives you an idea of the time frame we are talking about here.)
Ok I've laid it out as best I can, he's got to get it.
Later in the day, I email him,
Whatcha wanna do tonight?
I don't know, you want to maybe go play some Tennis and BBQ?
*Crickets chirping*
/facepalm
In his defense he was working, so I let it slide and called him on my way home; and YES I use a bluetooth.
So what do you want to do?
What about some Tennis?
Let me rephrase. Who would you like to do tonight?
*Lightbulb goes on*...
Race you home?
I hope all of you get your date nights and get done this weekend!!


*Kisses*

I have found after 23 years of marriage the swinging bat method works the best. For everything. I've even gotten to the point where I pick out my own presents and then lead him right to them. It's easier on all of us that way.


So who got home first and lit the candles??


Oh gawd!!! That is soooo funny ... 'cause it's soooo true. Jesus - our 8th anniversary is in a couple of days and I have some pretty serious doubts there will be any mention of it unless I plan something.

...and we all know I am pretty fond of my guy ... but he has completely lost his ability for spontaneity. Sad, really.

Hope you got yer gears greased and yer oil changed proper, AA ... and X.

Cheers


You know, Direct is the new subtle. I'm all over direct. Such as "Here is a list of things I would like for my birthday which in case you do not remember is in exactly x many days" I learned the hard way. He'd say would you like something? I'd say surprise me, He'd say Surprise!! You get Nothing!! Now I am specific.


Use a wiffle ball bat... no bruises... just welts... ;o)

And like what 'Real Me' said above... Specific... S-P-E-C-I-F-I-C!!!!

We men can be slow sometimes...

~shoes~


@Joann: I will have to swing harder I guess!
@brite: I did. I know you're surprised! HA!
@ Dani: Spontaneity and children do not mix! and uhm..yeah!
@TRM: Yeah, "surprise me" translates to four months from now- then I am surprised.
@shoes: ooohhhh where do I get one of those???
