We would have put more blog entries here, but The Bloggess completely blew us away with this one, and we just didn't want to make anyone else pale by comparison. Do yourself a favor. Read this one.
I used to be really uncomfortable going to the movies alone. I would stand in the lobby and fake that I was waiting for someone, looking at my watch and stage-sighing while I craned my neck to look down the hallway for my imaginary friend. Then I'd throw my hands up, emphatically frustrated by being fake stood up, and go find a seat. What a shmuck.
I've always hated the term Date Night, mainly because I've always hated dating. I got married chiefly so that I wouldn't have to date anymore. Instead, on the chance night that I get to get out with my husband, sans kids, for a night of adult debauchery, I prefer to call it a Self Esteem Workshop. After a night of eating out, when I don't have to cut up someone's chicken fingers, or seeing a movie that has no trace of cute singing animals, I feel refreshed. Even if I'm hungover in the morning, my self-esteem is high and I am a nicer, more centered Mommy. What do you do for your Self Esteem Workshop?
My kids turned me on to Veronica Mars a couple of years back. (Why are the smart TV shows always cancelled?) I've got time for one movie this week, so I'm thinking of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which has some Veronica Mars connections. You got any better ideas?
