Maybe I'm just getting old, but more and more often lately my favorite date night with my husband is one where we stay in, open a bottle of wine with some cheese, and watch whatever we have been DVRing  Some of our favorites are Elementary, Sherlock (notice a trend there), Person of Interest, and Game of Thrones.

Have I mentioned that I'm at the beginning of a 14-day weight loss challenge.  I'm at the end of day 3, and starting to think about all of the things I want to eat.  The first two days were pretty easy, but now, I'm starting to miss things


Most weeks, the husband and I escape er, em, get away for a few hours alone together midweek and go  somewhere for Happy Hour or a quick bite.  We tend to love snacks, and being able to sit with a glass of wine and discuss the day is something that's really special to us.

One of our favorite places to hang out is Vertical Wine Bistro in Old Town.  I think they have the best cheese service in town, and that's a big draw for me.


I'm really missing our mini date this week.  11 days and counting.
