My Date with a Doctorate Student

My dating life is going down the hole. It's true. I have dated two incredibly younger boys (see post below) and now I am dating a man that has no spare time. I am definitely doing the chasing in this relationship. It's totally worth it, this guy is hot!

About our date; the mood was set. We had a roaring fire, a big comfy blanket, a book of poetry by a world renowned poet, sparkling bubbly and candy covered chocolate. The night was ours to spend together, just the two of us. It was a movie magic night...

Well, it could have been, if we really used our imagination caps...

The mood was set: At the kitchen table, dishes in the sink, computers, and homework
Roaring fire: full screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLmwmX-mni8
Big Comfy Blanket: I was the only one in the blanket since I can't seem to get warm between the months of October and May
Book of Poetry: A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein, enough said.
Sparkling Bubbly: Powerade Zero and Water (that had been sitting for a bit so there were bubbles on the side of the glass)
Candy Covered Chocolate: plain M&M's (totally gross with the flavor of Powerade, bleh)
The night to spend: Ya, he is working on a big project due the next day.

It was still time spent together, maybe not undivided time, but I got to sit next to my honey and just be. Plus I totally revisited some of my childhood memories by reading A light in the Attic.

This was a date to remember...

This was a wonderful way to describe a "perfect date" I also like the one "April 24th - it's not too hot and you might only need a sweater in case it gets chilly"

Such is the life - of the college student wife
as she reads from "The Attic Light"
no Warmth from the fire - just chocolate to wire
"Ahhh - Perfect and Just Right"
