 I don’t want you to use any excuse to not have some fun this weekend. Be creative and think outside the movie and dinner out dating box:

One of the dates we loved when our kids were little was to bundle them up in their car seats and drive around until they fell asleep. Once they were good and knocked out, we would pull in to our local drive in theatre and watch a real live grown-up movie.

Obviously, this works best if you have kids who are sound sleepers.

Another cost-cutting advantage to this date besides saving on babysitters is that your car acts as a giant purse. You can smuggle in as many snacks as you like – guilt free.

Question for you:

Share your brilliance. What are you going to do this weekend to make sure that you and your husband have some fun this weekend? Leave a comment below!

Have you got something fun planned for the weekend?  Take a minute now to plan a little something-something for you and your hubby to do this weekend.

Here is just one idea from our list “20 Dates for $20 or Less”:

Starbucks  –  And not the drive thru. Go in, order a couple of tall lattes, two giant cookies, and soak up all that atmosphere.

Not the most creative idea on the planet, but the prize doesn’t go to the most creative woman – it goes to the woman who actually goes on a date with her husband.

I want to know  why you don’t date your spouse.

Is it time, is it money?Is it that there hasn’t been a movie that the two of you have agreed on since Top Gun? Is it because it would take you away from your crops in Farmville?

We are going to be talking about this here on the blog for the next couple of weeks and I would love to hear what keeps you from romancing your sweetie.

Last week, my pastor sent me an e-mail about the Sermon Team I am on with him and the other pastors. I responded to his question, but had to do some soul purifying first:

Kathi to Scott: “Hey there – first a confession. Yesterday (Sunday) Roger and I completely slept in. We felt so bad but just couldn’t make it to church. So, we decided to run some errands. Roger and I were in the car and he said ‘Knowing our luck, we’ll probably see someone from church.’

Talking on my phone to my mom I went ahead of Roger into Target and saw…you. And like a two year old – went down a different aisle. I wasn’t raised in the church, but I got all of the guilt of a Jewish and Catholic upbringing combined…”

Scott to Kathi: ” Church ditching is not the unforgivable sin, but hiding from your pastor is!  (said with a big out loud laugh)  I just read a story yesterday about someone who hid, her name was Eve. (again, said with a huge smile on my face!)  Don’t take the ribbing personally, I think it’s funny.  If I were you I would run the other way next time because I will shout across Target ‘Hey, Kathi I didn’t see you in church today!”

HELLO – That’s exactly why I avoided him. He would have no problem calling me out at Target.

Kathi to Scott: “Mind if I put this up on my blog – it is pretty funny.”

Scott to Kathi: “You bet, because you know it’s going to show up in a sermon.”
