Date Night?

Last night was either a very low point or quite a high point depending on your perspective. Meggan and I dropped off Amelia at Parent's Night Out and were set to go on a "date". However, we couldn't really think of anything we wanted to do. We did have a very nice grown-up dinner at a restaurant we can't dine at with Mia. THEN, we basically hit a wall on ideas. It got so bad at one point that we found ourselves in line at Target with complete strangers giving us date ideas...So, yes, actually being at Target on our date was NOT the low point. We cycled through all ideas...Movies? Nothing we both wanted to see; Bowling? Ehh, more of a group thing; Live music we had originally planned for? HOT AS HELL outside. Going downtown to night spots? We had to get Amelia at 10, so we would have left before anyone else got there. Thus, we had nothing. As sad, and likely somewhat pathetic, as it all sounds, we both had a really good time. Somewhere along the way we realized that we were trying to force the action when all we really wanted to do was enjoy each other's company without responsibility for Amelia. So, there were no concerts, no plays, no larger than life date activities. However, there were drinks, cupcakes, and good conversation...and most importantly, no high chair was required. And, it was great.
