Times Have Changed
The times, they sure have changed.
10 years ago, my ideal evening consisted of: a bite to eat at the pub; catching a band at a bar; inviting everyone back for a party at my place; ending the evening by tossing off my clothes and going to bed with a man at about 4 am.
5 years ago, my ideal evening was: a four-course meal at a swank restaurant and a nice bottle of wine; a play; a nightcap; candles, music, changing into something “more comfortable” and going to bed with my man at about 1 am.
Last night, after a particularly exhausting day with Cakes, BP was working and I enjoyed my current ideal evening: a huge bowl of pasta, smothered with both cheddar and parmesan, accompanied by a glass of home-made red; a long, hot shower; changing into my track pants and lounging on the couch watching Amazing Race and Desperate Housewives, accompanied by another glass of wine and more cheese; checking email and site meter; putting on my pajamas; sprawling in bed alone, asleep by exactly 10:30 pm.
Oy.

god, the in-bed-alone thing sounds great. if you can believe it, i was considering turning down hockey tickets because i just didn't think i could stay out that late.
of course i snapped out of it, but still... sad sad news.
Can I come over and join you? Sounds like heaven...
Ha, that is funny! I still haven't mastered the going to bed at a reasonable hour, which is why I always have bags under my eyes that could hold a week's laundry...
mmmmm sleep and cheese (drool)
sounds PERFECT!
(and i missed TAR last night. i'm kicking myself. please tell me what i missed!)
seriously I know what you are talking about - I went out on Friday around 7, had dinner and a few pints and was home and in bed by 10:30 - not long ago I would have been starting my night at 10!

Times really have changed. I know exactly what you mean. And your dinner with the wine and all that cheese ... that is SO what I would have done :)
It's a wonderful life!
Cheese, wine and chocolate turns every night into an ideal evening.
Last night was far from the perfect night as I had none of the above, two children that would not go to sleep and a husband at a rock concert. At 11:45 PM, I finally got some me time so I submitted a photo order online three times because I kept receiving an error message. AAAAHHHH... Sorry to vent here. I'm just jealous of your good times.
Too funny!
I completely know the feeling. These day, I just want to take naps all weekend long.
SOOOOOO true! And current ideal evening sounds awesome right now to me! ;)
Exactly the same as my life, only these days, with the two kiddos, I don't even make it until 10.30!!
10:30 sounds pretty good to me. (Says she who is still reading blogs instead of paying bills and going to bed.)
Isn't it amazing how our definition of fun changes after kids?
I know what you mean there!:-)
Sounds absolutly dreamy.....and I'm being serious.
Ya, if I'm up after 1am, it takes me two days to recover.
And, hey myredwagon, I used to start the night out at 10, too.
