It's the weekend finally.
If you have been watching the news, you're probably depressed after hearing how the economy sucks. Well, it's time to do some sucking of your own.
Instead of just calling your lover over to hop directly into bed, why not plan something cheap to do before heading to bed?
SheKnows.com has some cute suggestions.
Instead of eating dinner in front of the TV, grab a blanket, a baguette, and Brie and have a picnic under the stars. Or nibble on finger foods in bed.
Have a DIY dinner. Set up a taco bar with all the fixings or make homemade pizza. "Creating something together is interactive, so it brings you closer," says relationship therapist Sandra Anne Taylor, author of Act to Attract.
Since it's expected to be very cold tonight, light up a fire, either in a fireplace or at a campground and watch the stars. If you're inside near the fireplace, turn all of the lights off, play his or her favorite CD and sip some wine. Play a sexy strip game. By the time you two get naked, the news of the day will be off your mind.
Spice things up by trying some of these kisses. Chances are if you have great sex Friday night, you'll have even better sex Saturday morning.

Lock and Key Events.com is hosting a party that everyone will surely be talking about the next day.
Men and women are invited to attend the Lock and Key Party at BlackFinn Saloon, on Feb. 6th.
Unlike the typical Friday night party, you will meet someone of the opposite sex, who's looking for someone themselves. Every woman gets a lock and every man gets a key. The goal is to match the right lock with the right key. When you make a match, you're then eligible to win prizes and you get a new lock or key to get back into the mix. There are about 12 high end prizes that will be given away throughout the night.
More than 100 people are expected to attend and host, Heather Watkins, said she has gotten great response from potential attendees. And guys, she said she could use some more men to sign up for the party.
"This is the first time we've done it in Charlotte," she said Wednesday morning. "We've had an awesome response. We have few more women so we're trying to get a couple of more men involved. But I have a bunch of guys that I personally know that are coming and bring a couple of friends and that will bring up our number. The BlackFinn is such a popular place that once we get there we're going to have a couple of walk-ins."
Pre-registering has it's advantages. According to the web site, if you register and pay on line, the cost is $20. If you just register in advance online and pay at the door the cost is $25. If you just walk in on Feb. 6 the cost is $30.
"Women are more apt to go online and get their ticket paid," said Watkins. "Men are more like, 'I'll just walk in and take a buddy.'"
Watkins said this party is a non-threatening way to meet the opposite sex, and the locks and keys are the ultimate icebreakers for people to start a conversation.
"Instead of the typical Friday night out where you don't really know who's single and available and who wants to talk, everyone is in the same game together," she said. "Walking up to someone and saying, 'Can I see if your lock fits my key and whether or not it fits?' It's an ice breaker.
The party runs from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Feb. 6. Check in is at 7:30 p.m. If you can't make it to the February party, have no fear. Watkins said there will be another party at Suite in March.

I came across this great article on MSN.com about shoes.
According to this article, if a man has on alligator loafers you should run.
"Alligators are opportunistic eaters; they crouch down until their victim isn't looking, and then they pounce, and so will a guy wearing alligator shoes," she warns. These guys are dangerous, so pay attention when you're with them, Sozio recommends. "Be on high alert around these guys," she advises. "Because they tend to be sneaky and secretive."
If he's wearing hiking boots, then he lives by the seat of his pants.
"This guy is someone who is impulsively adventurous, so he's looking for a woman who won't make him feel restrained," she explains. "As long as you don't make him feel tied down, he will be a loyal partner."
If shows up on your date wearing worn out shoes, then he has no respect.
"You have to wonder how a guy who doesn't care enough to present himself well at a first meeting will treat you as you continue to get to know him," she cautions. "Don't think this guy is simply trying to be casually coolcasually cool can come in the form of spiffy, well-maintained athletic shoes," she notes. "A man who picks you up wearing ratty footwear isn't interested in showing you his best or the respect you deserve." Next!
But what do shoes say about a woman? Why is it that men turn around and stare when they see a woman in a pair of high heels? Some men salivate when they see a woman in a short skirt and tall boots.
I searched the Internet and came up with this article about a woman who can't wear heels.
I say a woman in heels is probably hunting for that man in the alligator loafers.

Last night, my friend P and I decided that network TV was boring and since she'd never been to Carolina Video Source, we took a trip there.
The adult store, located on Harris Boulevard, is totally old school. Before you can enter the store, you have to show I.D., you know you're supposed to be 18 to get into these places.
I've been there once before, during the middle of the day and it was interesting to see the place at night. For one, there were a few more customers on the inside. The clerk had some smooth music going as she set up a Mardi Gras display. As soon as you walk in, the clerk tells you all of the specials.
Last night it was "buy two DVDs and get one free." P and I walked around for about an hour, starting in the lingerie section first. The selection was interesting. P bought a leather teddy that was on sale and a "Wonder Chic" costume, complete with gold sock boots, a lasso of truth and a headband. Since this costume is obviously not licensed by DC comics, it didn't look like "Wonder Woman's" famous body suit.
Next it was over to the toys. You basically found the same things you'd find in any of these shops, along with a sign that says, "If you open it, you buy it." But the clerk at the shop was more than helpful. When you took an item to the register to ask about it, which P and I did with a couple of strangely shaped dildos, she was more than happy to open the packages and give a demonstration of how it worked.
Then there were the videos. From classics like, "The Devil In Miss Jones," to the just raunchy, "Big Black Cock in Little China." There were also a few instructional videos there. Including Nina Hartley's line. The one title that stood out to me was, "How to Dominate a Man." I bought it. Now if I could only find a man to submit. (LOL)
They don't rent videos, and I'm still searching for a place that does. Last night, I did learn that Girls Gone Wild DVDs are available on Blu-Ray.
I was curious about the customers who come into the store, so I asked the clerk. What time of day is busiest here?
Her response was lunch time. (Kind of surprising) Mostly men, she said.
"That's the time they can get away and the wife isn't home."
Women, she said, linger longer in the store. Mostly focusing on the toys. "Some times, the shop can be a candy store for women as well."
I know that's the truth.
Carolina Video Source has a wide range of lubricants and they're mostly water based, which is what you need when using latex condoms. And while it's pretty common to find K-Y Jelly in Wal-Mart these days, there will never be a day when you walk in that store and find Good Head gel.
