Date Night? Oh...Yes We Did!!

By -
D. and I got to go out on Saturday night. We haven't been on a date in like forever! We walked in to the nail salon (because I needed to get a quick wax) and the lady asked me if D. was my boyfriend? Ha! My boyfriend! D. looked at me and said "you haven't had one of those in a while huh? He's too funny. My response was "no, I haven't. Do you know of anyone in the market"? LOL...I love kidding around with him like that.

Getting to take this break away from the kids and everyday life is part of what keeps our flame going. We get to be 'one' again. Meaning no space in between (which having five children can do, create a whole lot of space..lol) it was just us. Holding hands, gazing into each others eyes, kissing, and caressing one another. And of course wearing one of my minis helped ;) but just being out on a date with him was enough. It brings on those feelings like we just met for the first time. So so good!
We had so much fun and I cant' wait to do it again! Oh yeah, I finally got to have that Apple Martini I was fantasizing about the other day ;)

Have you ever noticed what a few moments can do when you're away together? How much closer you two are, how your passion can be aroused?

This ones for the LOVERS: What do you do to keep the flame going?

    Hey Lisa! A little playfulness can go a long way to making some sweet romance SO much sweeter! I never over compliment women but I had a date once that ended with me laughing so hard that when I looked up, she was gone! I told her,"MMMmmm, you are so beautiful." in a warm tone while we stared into each others eyes. She hopped up and said,"That is so gay!"
    I think she became irritated at my laughing but I couldn't help it!

    I like women who enjoy some sizzling romance and some invigorating passion! BTW, I LOVE apple martinis! Yummy!!!!!

    Hahahaha! Bobby, I just read your comment to my husband and he himself can't stop laughing!! It was her loss. Apparently she doesn't know a REAL MAN when she sees one or should I say, hear from one!

    BTW, we have to catch Rolando up to speed about the apple martinis, your first try should be with friends. :)

    I really enjoyed this post, had me smiling from ear too ear. You two are blessed.

    Wish I could get over this way a bit more often, maybe I need to get a life and stop blogging so often?

    Ed~ It's good to see you again! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was smiling the whole time writing too!
    Ha! 'Get a life and stop blogging', now there's a thought, but what else would we do? LOL!!

    Erina~ thank you. We try to spend as much time together as we possibly can due to his long hours at work. Really though, thanks for mentioning that because little things like these can get overlooked.

    Hey Lisa,
    I was thinking this same thing the other day. We find it hard to find that QT together with just one child and our schedules so I know with 5 it must be a miracle!! we do commit to a date night every other friday. btu anytime we can spend together is great even if it's just 5 mins. I love the post and the blog. I will be a frequent reader from now on!!

    Thanks, Erina. I'm already planning our next night!!

    Sincere~ The thing I remember is, my kids will grow up and leave one day, make families of their own and have their own lives. I don't want to turn around when they leave and ask my hubby, "who are you", because we didn't spend that QT together. If I had 8, 12, or even 20 children I will make sure to get that one on one time with him.

    I'm glad you like my place and I'm looking forward to getting to know you :)

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
