OK so the first $10.00 date is in the books. I roasted the $2.20 chicken, and instead of broccoli, we had spinach and couscous. We went for a walk and watched Modern Family. It was a great evening, and well under the $10.00 budget.
One observation that the man had, and has had before is that we do seem to be Mitchell and Cam on that show (me being the over the top Cam, and he the neurotic Mitchell). It is funny, because virtually every couple I know can relate to one or another tv couple. I used to fantasize myself as a Carrie Bradshaw type character, albeit with less fabulous shoes. I can relate to Carrie on a different level though. Carrie had her girlfriends. The show may have been named Sex and the City, but it was really about the friendship between the four women. I am lucky to enjoy the type of relationship that those women had with my besties. As for Cam, well, he and I both have a bit of flair for the dramatic (in fact, I am DYING to use the phrase, "Yesterday's lazy cures today's crazy" in real life) and we both enjoy nurturing our men. I would never be caught in a shirt that had flowers embroidered on it, and I am sure that Cam would refuse to wear polka dots and skirts. I guess no one's parallel characters are perfect. Who is your tv alter ego?
