Spouses, how do you plan to enjoy your extra time with the SO this winter?

Mods this is not a game thread.

Let’s talk about the extra weekend time Spouses have with their SO’s on the weekends this coming winter. No distracting or boring basketball on Sunday. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
How will you spend the time?

Extra Netflix movies and popcorn?

Outside doing yard work together?

Long Sunday drives?

More romance? :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Share, your plans for these glorious Sundays without sports!!! We may never get this rare opportunity again. Let’s not waste it.

Everybody out on the town last night or just shy?

I’ll go first then. Never been a rabid NBA fan. But I am pretty much glued to the TV Sundays during the playoffs and championship game.

Since my Sundays will be free starting early December we’re planning a few weekend trips in Jan, Feb, and March. One of our state parks has some nice cabins with stone fireplaces. We want to get down there a few times while it’s really cold and enjoy some quality time together. Build a big fire and just kick back without any internet, tv or phones.

We’ll also watch some movies together on Sunday afternoons. I may not even follow the NBA games next year. Spending time with the SO is so much more fun than watching a bunch of pampered, overpaid jerks in short, shorts, chase after a round ball

So what will you do now that the SO doesn’t have any excuses for Sunday afternoons?

I’m afraid we don’t watch basketball, so what we do on the weekends won’t change.

Thats us too. No interest in the game whatsoever. We will watch football, but my wife is a bigger fan than me, we always watch together.

I’m not taking this problem lightly, because it IS a problem. I’ve been a housewife doing housewife things for a long time, and my SO is going to be home most of December. Kid is out of the house in another city. Friends retired, moved, or travelling out of state. Relatives deceased, moved, travelling out of state, and what’s left are pathetic needy cases who need to be carted to the doctors and the grocery store. So it’s just us. He stays upstairs reading, I stay downstairs, and that’s fine for weekends, but for weeks??? The yard work is all done. I guess we could clean out the basement. Sometimes we cook or bake something special together. We’ve already watched a zillion movies together. He doesn’t watch TV at all, which I do. It’s hard, it’s hard being agreeable and trying to find something to talk about after 25 years. God, I may have to go out and buy us a PUZZLE to put together! :eek: Shoot me now…And they wonder why I drink…The first week in January I drag the tree out to the curb and I’m singing and dancing around the house as if I’ve won the lottery!
