February date night

Well, it's been a while since we've been able to have a date night due to college classes resuming for our elder child (who babysits our younger child), but the planets aligned so we got our dinner and a movie. The dinner part was at Ruby's in York. We got the coupons from the SuperCoupons monthly mailer … Continue reading February date night

Date night: payback for the chick flick

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, movies, restaurants

Our last date night movie was chosen by moi: How do you know (as in, "how do you know" it's a chick flick? When your husband looks around the theater and says, "Hon, I'm the only man in here," that's a big clue). This time we went to see The Fighter (his choice). Now, this is … Continue reading Date night: payback for the chick flick

Date night (vacation week edition)

It's been a while since we've been able to have a date night, what with the holidays coming, shopping for the holidays, wrapping for the holidays, hiding presents and then (forgetting where they were hidden) looking for the presents for the holidays.... It was nice to have Christmas behind us and get a little time … Continue reading Date night (vacation week edition)

Dinner and a movie

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, local fun, movies, restaurants

In reviewing some of my past posts, I've noticed a date night trend toward Dinner and a Movie; this night is no different. The movie was ""What's the Story?' Morning Glory", viewed at the Wells Five Star Cinema. It almost couldn't be bad, with Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford, right? Rachel McAdams was the real … Continue reading Dinner and a movie

Date night: Maine Diner and a Movie

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, local fun, movies, restaurants

Date night last night was short, but great. We unexpectedly had a babysitter when I unexpectedly got out of work early, so we made the most of it. This date night consisted of dinner and a movie. Because with me it's all about the food, even though we had barely an hour before the show … Continue reading Date night: Maine Diner and a Movie

Late, late summer (but feels like fall) date night

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, local fun, restaurants

Yia Yia Pizza from Jimmy the GreekI took off early from work for a date night I planned with my husband last week. He said he wanted Thai food, so I was going back and forth mentally all day about where to go (Mekong Thai? Thai Rose? Thai 9?). Since I couldn't decide, I decided to … Continue reading Late, late summer (but feels like fall) date night

It’s all good

I was annoyed the other night, thinking that even though I was lucky to have had an extra day off from work this week, it had been all used up with medical appointments. Deciding to make them, scheduling them, dealing with insurance company in advance to try to make sure they didn't weasel out of paying … Continue reading It’s all good

Late summer date night

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, local fun, restaurants

When you have a babysitter, it's a shame to waste the opportunity to go out with your spouse.  We only had a little lead time (once we knew we had the babysitter) to organize the date, but we put our heads together and came up with a plan. First, we headed to Scarborough Downs. We … Continue reading Late summer date night

Maybe you leave for work very early in the morning, and return home late in the evening...and maybe you have a significant other that you would like to have date-time with, at least once in a while! What do you do? Well, the situation demands creativity on the part of the couple, no question. Tonight, … Continue reading Backyard date
