Barny and I recently discovered that we don’t go out on date nights, or dedicate any nights to spending quality time together.  We made a plan today to change that! We’re trying to think of interesting things to do; not just dinner and a movie. Here’s what we thought of so far:

• Monty Tech has an awesome Continuing Education program, where they offer classes such as Soups and Chowders 101, Ballroom Dancing, The Basics of Sewing, and Socks on Circulars (so I can get better at knitting).  Alright, so not all of them would be for the two of us - but Barny could take Learn to Use Social Media Marketing to Grow Your Business, while I take Baking Breads and Rolls.  It’s INCREDIBLE that there is a place nearby that we can take classes on whatever we want! Most of them are bargain prices, too!
• Set a theme, so that we each have to plan one date under a different theme.  It would be a two week rotating cycle, and go Robin-Barny-Barny-Robin, so that the same person isn’t doing the theme first all the time. The themes could be “Spend no more than $10″ or “Someplace we’ve never been before”.
• We could host dinner parties, or host movie clubs where we invite people over to watch an interesting movie and then chat about it over wine and snacks.
