What is your favorite thing to do with your significant other?
I mean, other than that! :evilgrin:

For some reason, the BF and I love to drive around and look at beautiful houses together. It doesn't deter us that we can't afford any of these houses, we just love doing it anyway.

Also, we love watching football together. We're going to watch MNF tonight. Neither of us has ever had a SO that liked football as much as we do, so it's really fun.

What do you like to do together? :)

1. When a mommy and daddy love each very much...
but besides that, we love to look at Xmas decorations, window shop for Halloween costumes (at Target this past weekend, we spent 45 minutes in the Halloween section).

And yes! I sold her on the cheerleader's costume! Christmas done come early for Bobby!!!

2. I love driving around looking at Xmas lights!
Looking forward to it this year. :)

I'm dressing up like a cowgirl for the BF this year. He likes the hat and the belt buckle. :evilgrin:

3. Movies...
Most of our disposable income is spent on going to the theater or renting movies. We also buy quite a few. We just bought Kiss the Girls this weekend at a bargain price. It's one of our favorites.

26. Horror, Suspense, Comedy, and a little action...
...that has comedy in it, like Rush Hour 1 and 2, X-Men, Spiderman, you get the point. My favorite is suspense. I love M. Night Shyamalan, and I'm waiting impatiently for an announcement that they are going to make my favorite books by Patricia Cornwell, the Kay Scarpetta Series, into a movie franchise. Until then, I'm excited about seeing The Forgotten.

27. Yes! The Forgotten looks great!
The BF won't see it because it is too scary, and I probably shouldn't either (I'll have nightmares) but it looks really suspenseful and good! Plus I love Julianne Moore too.

Did you see the Village? I didn't but I wanted to. Was it any good?

23. I imagine one of the benefits of a same-sex relationship
is you can shop together and share clothes. :) All my BF's shirts are like knee-length dresses on me, so that doesn't really work.

We're about the same size, but our feet are shaped differently, so once one of us breaks in a shoe, do other finds the shoe uncomfortable. Luckily there's always makeup,scarves and jewelry

and we like that too. :)

I really like animated kids' movies like Monsters Inc and he doesn't like scary movies so we watch kids stuff and we like it!

That's so nice! Friendship really is the most important part of a relationship, isn't it?

My brother told me, "The reason I married my wife is because I like spending time with her more than anyone else." AWW. :loveya:

24. Well, we love to play games
Friday night is usually game night. We are partial to Cribbage, Rummy, Yahtzee and Mille Bornes. We play for hours and generally talk in bad accents (Russian is a favorite, but we do British, French and Italian though they all seem to end up Russian in the end).

Every Sunday we do our grocery shopping together.

We also like to light candles, turn on some good music and dance in the living room.

We have a lot of fun together. :)

25. Ooh, that's so romantic!
Lighting candles and dancing together.

We tend to dance together in the kitchen as dinner is cooking. :loveya:

I LOVE grocery shopping with another person! With him is best, but I like going with friends too. It turns from being a boring chore into being really fun!

We'll be playing in a tournament at Main Street in Dec.

35. This will be our first Tournament. ( it's a small tourney)
World Series of Poker
Watch it all the time, love it.
I do pretty well at Black Jack. In the last 8 trips out I've come back, a winner 6 times. My biggest was at Binions down town, hit them for 2600 last time. Haven't played there since they were bought out.
But i will be back.

But there have been others. Walks if we can find unpaved trails.... concrete is hard on bad knees, and Mr. Pcat has them.

He's my best friend. We do everything together.

53. yes, they're the computer version of Dungeons and Dragons.
We haven't been able to find local live gamers that we can tolerate so this is our option.

(Unlike many gamers, Mr. Pcat and I are relatively well adjusted, socialized and well behaved.....)

It's what we did on our first date and did for rest of the summer, now that it is cooling down we'll have to find a different activity. It's hard because we have completely different interests but we'll figure out something :)

52. My honey and I are both musicians
singer/songwriters. We perform together sometimes.

The first time we got onstage together after we...you know...became intimate partners was really an amazing experience...very emotional. I had my eyes shut singing harmonies to my favorite song of his and when I opened them I felt like everyone in the audience was watching us make love! :loveya:

We don't play music together enough any more...thanks for reminding me!
