Last week I saw an interview with Jennifer Lopez where she said her and her husband have "ladies night" once a month. Basically, it's where they spend one night a month doing whatever it is she wants to do no matter how "girlie" it may be and he cannot complain. Of course I thought this was a great idea. When I mentioned it to Andy he just mumbled with excitement...not really.
For Friday night (aka ladies night) I suggested that I wanted Chinese takeout and a bottle of red wine while we watched Sex & The City 2 together. Andy thought this was too girlie for ladies night, so I happened to mention how many manly football games I have sat through with him and then he managed to suck it up and spend ladies night with me. We had such a great time together that I would like to implement ladies night every month.
So Saturday night I thought it would be fun to spend the night at Kierland Commons for a little shopping, sushi and Christmas lights. I got Andy to agree by not really mentioning much about the shopping part and played up dinner out more. Yeah, once we were there we were able to walk around and enjoy the Christmas lights since Kierland does such a great job of decorating. It was so pretty. It was also about 66 degrees on Saturday night as we walked around thinking of our family and friends in WI experiencing a blizzard and temperatures in the teens. After dinner we (ok, I) did some shopping at one of my favorite stores. Andy was not thrilled as I spent about an hour in the store. As we left he mentioned that "ladies night" turned into "ladies weekend," but I see nothing wrong with that.

OMG.. Thank you JLo and Jaimi. I love the ladies night idea. I will have to cash in on that. And using the football games a leverage.. brillant. (my spelling is horrible)
I think that is a great idea... would you mind stopping into Brian's office and working on that with him? I'm not going to hold my breath on that one!
