What's Your Perfect Date?

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Valentine's Day - it's one of those letdown holidays when you get older. I liked it when I was in grade school and you could count on cheezy paper valentines from your best friends and a whole schwack of cinnamon hearts and jujube candies. I find, once you get older, it's much better to just enjoy date nights than try to set up something for some preprogrammed YOU MUST BE ROMANTIC night.

That said, in the spirit of grade school Valentine's Day fun, I thought I'd run a poll: How would you describe your perfect date?

Here's mine:

  • Sleep In (this automatically means the kids are not home)
  • Relaxing Day - maybe some fun shopping or a spa appointment
  • Dinner Out
  • Bowling or Rollerskating
  • Movie


It's a lot to cram into one day, but it would be a blast. This is why I need to live in the big city again. We're not going out for Valentine's Day this year - it's just not going to work out. We're going to try for a date the weekend after, though. I must see Music and Lyrics - bad 80s pop music = my perfect movie. Seriously. I can watch The Wedding Singer an alarming number of times.

So, your turn. Share your dates!
