Okay, this winter has been nearly unbearable..... But thankfully (and gratefully) DH hates it as much as I do. We have increased our outings (dinners, drinks, whatever) in the past couple weeks and WOW! - Has it made a difference. We have definitely sacrificed financially for these splurges, but ya know what? It's only money, and you can't put a price on sanity........ feeling SO MUCH better!!!

Yeah screw the money, it IS worth your sanity and happiness. I just had back surgery or I would be doing the same thing. Fortunatly the surgery has actually distracted me from the whole being cooped up thing. Smile
Winter is a rough season, have fun! Splurge, you can make up for it in the spring and summer, grill at home with the family. Lots of stuff to do outside in the warmer seasons that are cheaper than going out.

If you have the money, HAVE FUN! Smile

Somehow, and I honestly do not remember how, DH and I started going to breakfast on Friday mornings before we each head off to work. JUST US...no kids allowed ! It is wonderful, and as if Friday was not already a great enough day on its own, it is even better when I get to have DH all to myself for a half hour or so before the 45 minute drive to work.
DH looks forward to it just as much, if not more, than I do !
There is a great little Bakery/Cafe near our home, and it's on our way to work, so it's perfect !
So don't wait till dinner or later !
Try breakfast !
It's fabulous and gives you a major boost to last the whole day ! : )
