HELP! The Quest for 40!

** Update: I have about 14 ideas so far, but I need more!! Keep 'em coming!

And I'm not talking about my age. That's coming whether I want it to or not!

No, I'm talking about dates.

My friend Rhonda has a goal to go on 52 dates with her husband this year. Like she said, and I agree, because of finances, some of those dates will have to be at home dates.

This past weekend Rick and I went out to dinner and to see Legally Blonde: The Musical. That's definitely something we cannot afford to do every week. Even a movie and dinner costs $50 at a minimum!

I'd like to participate in the 52 Dates Challenge, but am sure I will run out of ideas. My goal for Rick and I is for us to go on one out-of-the-house date per month. There might be more, but my goal is for one. That takes care of 12 dates. That leaves 40.

So, let's band together and see if we can come up with 40 at-home dates! If 10 of you come up with 4 ideas each, then that's 40. If 20 of you come up with 2 ideas each, then that's 40. You get the idea!

So, get your creative juices flowing and comment with your at-home date ideas. When I get them all compiled, I'll do a separate post listing them all. Since my blog is Private, feel free to do your own separate post asking for suggestions and then send them my way. I would be honored if you shared my final results on your blogs for your followers, too.

So, start commenting!

(BTW .. I have suspended the posting of my What a Kid! Wednesday posts. Since my kids really don't read my blog anyway, I have just decided to start leaving them hand-written notes on Wednesdays pointing out the ways I am proud of them. That keeps me looking for those reasons!)
