If you don’t get the “Bears, Beets…” reference, see The Office, Season 3, Episode 20. HIGH-larious.**

When I was in my early twenties, this is what my Friday nights USED to look like:

Now that I am thirty, this is what my Friday nights look like:

Thankfully, Mr. Dragon is on the same page! Friday nights have become “Crash on the Couch” nights for both of us. When I first met Mr. Dragon, he actually was way ahead of me. One of the first conversations we had was about how we “could never go out on Friday nights, because… that’s Sci-Fi Friday night!!!!!!”Are. you. kidding me. Mr. Dragon does not LOOK like a Sci Fi geek… but he is! And he has forced me into joining him. In my single life, I was a lover of The Twilight Zone, but that was about as far as I went into Sci-Fi World. Because clearly Friday night was going to become our “staying in” night, I was wise and gave Sci-Fi Fridays a chance.

Mr. Dragon set aside an entire weekend for the sole purpose of brainwashing me into his favorite show Battlestar Galactica. Um, I fell in love. The show is a remake (and WHAT a remake it is…) of an old seventies show about the Cylons (a human-created race of machines, some of whom look just like humans) waging war on humanity, many years in the future. The Cylons nearly eradicate the human race, who are running away from the Cylons, through space, trying to find their original home: Earth.

Laugh it up, Bees (!) but BSG, as aficionados call it, is the best show ever created, featuring perhaps the most incredible and sexiest action hero ever: Starbuck (who was a man in the original series!). I LOVE it! The final season just started, and you best believe the Snapdragons are nailed to the couch every Friday for the next few weeks, enjoying our favorite show together.

Let’s not kid ourselves; we know wedding planning is not a fiesta ALL the time. For us, we’ve found that taking dedicated time to relax really helps minimizes those petty arguments that pop up due to wedding + life stress.

SO, Hive, in the midst of wedding planning, how do you relax with your partner? Dinner? Dates? Ridiculously nerdy television shows?
