  • On a typical night, H and I are SO lazy! I usually have dinner ready when H gets home and we eat while watching one of the many shows we're keeping up with. Then we take the dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Then more tv/video games until bed.

  • H and I are SUPER lazy too.  We typically cook together (or, like tonight, I cook while H mows the lawn/cleans the bathroom), then we sit on our butts and watch tv untli bed time.

    We also have a hot tub so we go in typically 4-5 nights per week, but have been unable to since my surgery. When the doc said no hot tubs or sexxay time for a month I think a little part of me died inside

  • Well ususally I am in the living room watching tv, or on the computer, or reading.... and Hubby is ususally in the bedroom watching tv, sports, or gaming on the computer. We are a pretty lame couple, we don't do much during the week because Hubby has to be up early. The weekends usually I am working like crazy so he games, or goes out with friends!

  • Usually by the time we are both home it is at least 8 so we cook a little bit watch TV and then I read and then I go to bed!

  • I try to start dinner on DH's commute home, but usually I'm cooking most of the night. DH comes home and gets on his computer to unwind. I finish dinner and we eat. We lay on opposite ends of the couch and play on our laptops. If we have shows on the DVR and feel like it, we'll put down the laptops and watch TV together. Eventually one of us falls asleep on the couch and we go upstairs.

  • I'm taking care of Edmund and trying to get some sleep. H is at work.

  • We sound like everyone else....I usually cook (DH helps sometimes), then we eat in front of the TV.  He usually does dishes (and I sometimes help), and we sometimes do other chores (like laundry).  We usually have the TV most of the night, and we're usually both on our computers (nesting, facebook, DH plays games).  I also try to work on my grad school homework...though I'm a terrible procrastinator.

  • This makes me feel better!  I thought we were super lame.  Usually one of us is watching TV while the other is on the internet.  Occasionally we watch TV or a movie together, but we don't like much of the same things.  Eat dinner, be lazy, sometimes laundry.  DH goes to bed early b/c he has to get up super early, and I stay up a while and watch TV and play on the computer 'til bed. 

    ETA: Tonight was a happy exception, DH took me out to dinner and we watched Dexter.

  • Usually we watch Netflix. On Wednesday DH does a raid on WoW and I read or go on the internet.

  • Oh, lord. What night of the week? :P

    Mondays, we have our weekly business meeting for the game-design company we started with some friends.

    Tuesdays, we've got designated as 'Couple Time' -- this usually consists of eating dinner together, playing some games, and either playing on our computers or watching a movie or me back-seat gaming while he plays a video game.

    Alternate Wednesdays, we're at Anime Night.

    Thursdays, DH is either at poker or at curling, depending on what's going on.

    Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays, we frequently have social plans.

  • cook dinner, watch Daily Show, then the ellen show.  Some computering sometimes then off to bed. Not awful, but totally live for the weekends now
  • Usually one of us makes dinner or reheats leftovers...unless we're just "on our own" which means I often eat cereal because he's already eaten chips and salsa. He disappears into his office to plunk around on the computer. I'm either reading, or hanging out with the tv and my cousin. We often watch our DVR'd shows together, and he usually heads to bed first. Lately, I haven't been on the computer so much when I'm home. Need to get my craft room organized so I can work on projects.

  • On an average weeknight, I come home from work after DH.  DH makes dinner and I do a little household cleaning while he cooks.  We eat, and then watch TV.  DH walks the dog (I walk him in the mornings), and then we go to bed.

  • It varies, but now-a-days, it's mostly passing off the baby to whoever wants to hold her/feed her/change her while the other one relaxes. One of us cooks/heats up something to eat for the both of us, and then we trade off the baby so we can eat (unless she's sleeping, and then we can eat at the same time). We're generally sitting on our butts. LOL
