Sitting on the couch = best day ever

This is an incredibly corny post, but I have to say one thing I love about being in a happy relationship. I love being with my love, hanging out in sweatpants, eating dinner and watching football. (okay, minus the football part, I could care less about that. The only two words I know are touchdown and sack) I'm not wearing makeup, my hair is wet, and he looks like he just crawled out of bed. It's the perfect Sunday because we never get to do it. We're so busy normally that hanging out together watching Bad Boys and Billy Madison (perfect double feature, by the way) is a rare occasion. I love it because it doesn't happen everyday. I don't recommend completely giving up and looking like a schlub all the time. But once and awhile it's nice to know you can be totally comfortable with your partner and know they feel the same way. There's no expectations, no airs, just being together without actually doing anything. He might play a video game, I might clean the kitchen. It's like the anti-date night date night. Try it sometime with someone you love if you are like us and never get the chance to slow down and just be together. If you're the opposite and this kind of thing happens all the time, then go out once and awhile and get all dolled up. Remind him or her that you are HOT and deserve a night on the town. And here's a tip for the ladies: be nice and pay for at least one part of the date- no one wants to date an ungrateful gold digger.
