I think too much when I drink wine and watch romantic comedies. Oh...and I love my husband too.

Saturday night (after my "College Night" trip to Kroger) my husband and I sat on the couch, drank copious amounts of wine, and watched the movie Date Night together. My parents had the boys for the night so we felt all wild and crazy. We enjoyed the movie and laughed really loud (since there was no baby sleeping in the other room) and I might have snorted some wine out of my nose once or twice. The characters are very easy to relate to as they are "a boring couple from New Jersey" and well, I guess that we could be considered a "boring couple in Georgia" in some circles.

Another couple in the movie had decided to get a divorce because they felt like roommates instead of lovers. This got me thinking...in the same way that the movie "He's Just not that Into You" made me wonder if my husband was just not that into me even though he makes it abundantly clear that his is totally into me. There is no logic in these types of thoughts, they are strictly prompted by romance comedies gone awry in my brain. After the movie was over and we were good and snockered, we attempted to have a drunken pseudo-intellectual conversation about marriage and parenting. Here is how our conversation went;

Me:" I mean, just because we are busy being parents doesn't mean that we're boring, right? I'm not boring am I?"

Roger:(taking a swig of wine) "You are cool as hell!"

Me:" Well, I think that you're cool as hell too. I mean, just because we spend most of our evenings tending to the kids and then by the time they are in bed we only have like one hour together before we go to bed, that doesn't make us lame."

Roger: (taking another sip of wine) "Naw, we're cool. "

Me: "You don't feel like we've turned into roommates that just take care of the kids, do you?"

Roger: (raising my glass up to my lips to make me have a sip of my wine) "No way, wanna make out?"

Brief intermission...
(cue "bow chicka wow wow" music)

Me: "See, we're wild and crazy!"

Roger: " Who gives a crap about if we're cool or not? We love each other, we love our kids, we have our sh*t together. So, I don't see a problem there."

Me: "You're right, who gives a crap? I'm cool, I'm damn cool...screw Tina Fay."

Roger: "It's not like we aren't spending as much time together because we don't love each other, we have kids, what do people expect?"

Me:"So you don't want to divorce me because we don't get to hang out all the time and eat fancy meals and get all drunk like we used to?"

Roger: "You are forever banned from watching movies about boring couples who get divorced."

I can live with that!
