Personally, I Think Sweats Are Acceptable Date-Night Attire

alliavFinally, it’s Christmas break.

I would be lying if I said that I didn’t have December circled on my calendar for 11 months.

Because UCLA is closed for two weeks over the holidays, I am off from work.

Usually when Sunday rolls around, I go into the whole “mentally preparing for the bullshit that is about to ensue for the next five days” mode.

During the week, Laef and I go through the same nightly routine.

Laef: “Wanna play Wii?”

Me: “Eh.”

Laef: “Wanna play Scrabble?”

Me: “Eh.”

Laef: “Wanna have sex?”

Me: “Eh.”

We always say we’re going to make an effort to have quality time and hang out, but we’re both too spent during the week.

But, now that I’m on vacation, I had this little extra pep in my step.

We played Wii.

Of course we fought the whole time. I hate losing. He hates losing.

Then we talked about playing Scrabble, but we didn’t want to get divorced, so we nixed it. We both really HATE losing at Scrabble.

Then he asked if I wanted to play basketball with his new Nerf home basketball hoop thingy.

Obviously, I want to play basketball with my 6’6″ husband. Just like he wants to play on the balance beam with Mary Lou Retton.

FINALLY, we decided that we would go to a movie.

Which sounded amazing until Laef said, “You aren’t going to wear sweats are you?”

Well, fuck.

Of course I was going to wear sweats. I mean, it’s dark in there anyway. But, Laef gave me the whole “It’s our date night, we have to look hot.”

And, even though no one lost, I put on regular clothes and we went to see Avatar, which is a 3-hour interpretation of WoW, so basically Laef won this round HUGE.

Next date day will be at the spa, followed by Sex In The City 2.

They let me pretend to be in charge around here as the Lead Editor.. I have always felt a mission to prove that better isn’t always….er….better. Sometimes it’s just good enough and that totally rocks! Slackers UNITE!…later…maybe after a snack…and GLEE…and a nap. The imperfect me then had two strokes, got a wheelchair and learned the art of handicapped parking! I have a husband, three kids, a dog, a cat and a frog…they’re all just lucky I’ve kept them all alive THIS long, yo. You can find me at my About.Me or waxing poetic about bacon on Twitter.

    I haven’t been on a date in a year, so I think this is perfectly acceptable…the spa part. :)

    What is his problem? If sweats weren’t hot, Victoria Secret wouldn’t sell them…right?

    Sitting through Avatar in anything less comfortable than sweats should be considered cruel and unusual punishment!

    CLEARLY you are still newlyweds, because fuck that.

    Buy some that say something on the ass. Maybe then he’ll agree to your wearing them outside the house?

    For our anniversary two years ago we went to see Die Hard with whatever. I got pregnant. I’m still not sure how all of that worked out in his favor but I’m figuring that I’m owed. Big time.

    Hi, what anti spam tool do you use? Is it working for you or..? I would really like it if you could answer this question! Thanks in advance!

  8. I always try to get “purtied up” when my hubby and I go on date nights. I’ll walk out with my hair done, makeup on, cute outfit picked out. He’s wearing track suit pants and a t-shirt. Of course, if it was Avatar, I’d probably be less inclined to dress up. In fact, he’d probably have to drag me out of the house kicking and screaming in my fleece monkey PJ pants.

    So I guess I will feel responsible should you two ever have marriage trouble, considering I bought you both the Wii and Scrabble. :p
