Last weekend, DH asked me out on an "in-home" date...
Ah yes, the "in home" date--
Just one step above the middle school
standard "group date".
Here is NOT how it went:
It did NOT begin with me allowing DH to select the movie. I would never be that
Our evening did NOT get even more exciting with a bottle of this:
Yeah, for those of you who can't tell, that is NOT Two Buck Chuck. That would NOT be the proper brand of alcohol to use on your unsuspecting wife in what turned out to be a very feeble attempt at seduction.
Lord, NO.
Before this night, I had NOT always enjoyed a nice, cheap bottle of chardonnay... until now. Henceforth, DH & I are referring to cheap wine as chardon-NOT. As in, do NOT drink this if you want to feel anywhere close to healthy in the morning. Do NOT drink this if you don't want to feel as though you've just poured pure gasoline down your throat. Do NOT drink this if you plan on wooing your wife.Why is it that men have such different ideas about what constitutes romance? While a bottle of Chuck and a Will Ferrell flick might be a strong attempt at BRO-mance, it does NOT work on women!
Needless to say,
I will be planning our
next date night.

I'm SO sorry. Hopefully, next weekend will be better? Our last no-plan, zero budget date was a frozen pasta (bertoli?) meal with sparkling grape juice and a STARZ movie. Cheap, cheap, cheap said the birdie! And good!
hahahaha... sorry, but that was a funny post. That Chardo-Not... that should be outlawed... Better luck next time!
I'm sorry about the cheap stuff. I'm not big on wine or chardon (not)...they always make me feel like poo! And I always plan our little in home date nights. If it were up to hubby, our in home date nights would consist of me watching his "mad manly skills" on Call of Duty...thinking that it would "turn me on". Yeah. Next! :)
Sounds like date night was a blast... OK maybe not...sorry
I am sorry but I totally could not help but laugh because my husband put on Stepbrothers last night and then was surprised when I wasn't all hot and bothered and ready for sex.
My favorite line: "Why is it that men have such different ideas about what constitutes romance?" BIG question! Maybe it's nature's way of birth control?
Re toilet seat in Kansas: you didn't miss a thing; it's old "news".
"This is how we do it!!"
Haha, sounds like some of my college dates with Boones Farm Wine..remember that crap?
The wine may have been bad, but that movie is hilarious!
Too funny...
However, better to have 2 Buck Chuck than having a 2 year old crash the party because he sensed something in the air besides sleep...
:)
Hahaha... this is just great! I love the idea about the in home date... but it's so funny to me how guys and girls are so different.
too funny. kinda typical with guys isn't it?? maybe he's got something big for v-day!!
ChardonNOT? You'll never make that mistake again.
Now he owes you a better date night!
Love your blog. And date night - ha. Nice try though - movie and wine. Maybe not the most romantic of nights, but nice effort?!

OMG, if you have to close your eyes and not breathe when taking a sip of wine for fear of burning something, it should be outlawed! How was the movie by the way?
Oh no!! Sorry for the date night fail!! We will be doing that this weekend and I will be getting all the extras! Ha!
That would totally suck ass but hell he at least tries my soon to be ex didn't even try anything!
I literally laughed out loud at this one! That definitely sounds like an evening my husband would plan.
That is funny! At least he thought enough to plan an evening with you. We usually just spend the whole evening asking each other what the other wants to do!
I did NOT laugh out loud at this post. ;-) Definitely take the reigns planning your next in-house date! :-D
Hehe, great NOT me!! =)
Lily
Glad to hear the romance is alive! Very funny!
Nice "meeting" you too. I love your blog design.
I had heard of Truthful Tuesdays but didn't know the hostess.
Take care!
Well, in my book any place there is wine, its a good time. ;)
Maybe next time you could do something really girly - maybe a good crying chick flick, a facial and flannel jammies!
LOL that was great!Men sheesh!
two buck chuck is great if your plan was on knocking out after 1 glass!haha
Sadly, I experienced the pain of bad chardonnay this weekend. Never. again! :-p I will forever go along with your new slogan chardon-NOT.
Our husbands have a lot in common in planning date night. Will they never learn?
Hi Elizabeth! It's so nice to *meet* you! Thanks for your comment on my blog. This post was hilarious. Sounds a little like someone else I know. :)
Hilarious. $1.99 wine. I'm pretty sure that box wine is better.
I have to say that I like Stepbrother but I have a bad sense of humor.
And...I'm jealous of you having a hubby plan a in-house date night in which he stayed awake through the movie.
Men. It's a wonder they evolved from apes at all.
wahahaha too funny! I dont even let mine plan to much anymore. sometimes but others i give lots of hints on whats OK! after 14yrs i think i feel comfortable to do so! anywho i am now a follower, I am also a fellow PD wife hence the name. But my hubby is so nice to help maintain my blog as I am back in school. Hope to see you around my page!
LOL! At least y'all tried. :)
My condolences to date night that wasn't. Better luck next time:)
hahaha! What was he NOT thinking?!
Well, my standards are obviously very low, but I'm impressed he was proactive in thinking that date night might be a nice thing. My hubby doesn't see the need for any of that 'stuff'. And as for movies, I'm just grateful these days to watch anything set on planet earth in present day, rather than Omega Galaxy in 2142.
You made me laugh about the 2-buck Chuck - we actually kinda like it, but tend to buy the pink one :)
I think because men such as myself tend to be content with everyday life and forget at times our wives need romance to feel special.
Men think on different waves length than women. We can only think of one thing at a time. For the most part, we cant multi-task to save our life. Also, we are not mind readers or have any skills in the realm of the needs of women.
Just be simple with him. I usually go old school with my wife. I write love notes in her lunch, write poems and generally be all mushy. I'm still a work in progress and if there is hope for me, there is hope for him.
Mr Officer
Woo hoo, a comment from a man-- and a Police Officer at that-- Thanks for dropping by! I know my hubby is going to LOVE your comment :) You made my day!

Hilarious - don't let him live this down!
Very clever post! I enjoyed it!~
