Date Time

I think New Years traditions are a bit useless. No one ever really lives up to them, most are things you should have done anyway and likely they just aren't that important. So I am not calling this a New Year's Resolution, but rather and offer to change something.

I'd like to add date time to our regular "things to do" list. I am doing so mostly in preparation for the big move down south of here, but also because there is little more that I like to do than spend my time with you alone.

So here is my plan. We arrange to make certain that we do at least FOUR of these things a month - every month. It will prepare us to get ready to move to the big city. Where we will have so much to do all the time. We certainly don't want to hit the town as rookies who have forgotten how to "go out" now do we?

So from this list....

* Get coffee or tea or whatever in the morning. Just us two, not too late in that day and we both have to go inside.

* A movie. Popcorn. A big share diet coke.

* Dinner at a "nice" place. The kind that require reservations, most likely have those white table clothes I mess up so easily and refer to their specials as something the "chef" came up with.

* Lunch (option a). You come to my office. Come in to get me, everyone sees how beautiful you are, they get jealous of me, we leave together holding hands and go grab a sit down meal. Then you come back and give them the whole show all over again.

* Lunch (option b). You come pick me up, we hit a park or sit outside and eat a quick sandwich. Maybe even drive by the lake (although this option is WAY better once we make the move - better lake, better parks).

* A museum, a play or some kind of show. We get all dressed up and hit the town. We may even add one of those fancy dinners mentioned above. Of course when we do we can't count it as 2 of the 4....fair is fair. I need my time with you.

* A night at a cool hotel. Maybe hit the hotel bar for a while, maybe walk the downtown streets of the big city hand in hand, maybe just rent an in room movie and sleep in a different bed. Who knows. We can just see where it takes us.

* Pizza on the floor in front of the fireplace (likely reserved as a winter activity).

* Resurrection of the "Tuesday Brown Nag" night. Properly rented DVD, fast food from someplace inexpensive and sitting on the floor enjoying it all. I may even require that we not use the TV remote and I am forced to crawl over to the TV to change the channel.

* Go to a bar and just hang out. Have a few drinks, shoot the shit with the bartender, have insane conversations with other drunk people and then post the whole thing on Facebook, Twitter and text. Oh the stories they will tell.

Hopefully you can add to the list. It is just a reminder of how much fun we have together. And a further reminder of how close we remain after all these years. We can have tons of fun just between us. We have always been able to do so.

I do have an ulterior motive in this plan. I get to see you all dressed up. You always look so amazing. I get to show you off to other people. I know they are always jealous of me. There is always the "after date time" fun, if you know what I mean......

So there we have it - a real plan. Our first date time is slated for next Saturday night. I will fill you in on the details soon.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
