Just to fire up your imagination as to what could be possible, here are a few Earth Hour suggestions to the couples out there, whether it’s a first or second date or the person that you have been living with for 20+ years:

1. Enjoy a candle lit dinner for two (remember to turn off the oven by 8:30 pm).
2. Go for a starlit walk.
3. Run a bubble bath for your loved one and read to them by candlelight.
4. Cuddle up to a campfire under the stars (just don’t forget to get the fire permit).
5. If you are blessed with musical abilities, enjoy an hour serenading your partner (and if this is the case, yet you’re single, my number is ….).
6. Curl up under a blanket outdoors and do a little stargazing together.
7. Candle lit scrabble (best of all, no one can cheat by using their iphone or blackberry).
8. An hour long massage by candlelight, or better yet, two hours – one hour each.

Remember Earth Hour is between 8:30 – 9:30 pm tonight (March 27th, 2010), so power down. Oh and there is absolutely no reason why you and your lover can’t make your own Earth Hours on a regular basis throughout the year.

Special thanks to @ClareSaxon, @nugglemama, @lizzieh84, @airdrie, and @EatsShootsEdits, who shared their Earth Hour romance ideas with me on twitter.  Would love to hear more ideas on how to generate a little romance into your Earth Hour tonight in the comments below.

Not an easy thing to do to decide on the perfect dates for Kittyn and I for tonight for our delightfully romantic winter date to Cypress Mountain.  I’ve wanted to go on the Chocolate Fondue Snowshoe Tour for so many years now that this is not a decision to be made lightly.  Also I have to say, theres been some damn sweet, most flattering and rather amusing Valentines.

So here are my thoughts:

Would love to take either Clive or Christian (@daubu), but they live too far away to make it here on time.

Adore my little Dose of Lunacy (@monicahamburg) and @saltybean, but they hate snow and I don’t want them ruining my love of snow (already I’m thinking of gagging Kittyn, at least until we arrive at Hollyburn Lodge).

Raul will always be my Valentine, but I may have to strangle him if he starts whispering ‘sweet Microsoft Vista nothings’ in my ear, so he’s out, as that would take away from the romance.

Tris, the Hussey, is a taken man and I want a bit of romance, so he’s out.

My ginger’s letters made me laugh, but call me weird (and many have), but I don’t find having my eyeballs plucked out with a spoon to be all that romantic and I want romance.

@ericaha is the perfect snow loving gal, but she confessed to me that she actually already has plans for this evening.  Should have known the good ones would go fast.

It is for my desire for romance that I’ve decided to make Keith my date.  His letter is the most romantic and I do have to admit that he’s a good kisser, plus he likes nibbling on my ears.

For Kittyn, I’ve decided that ‘Savannah’ would be the perfect date for her, as they are both brats and deserve each other.

Congrats Keith and ‘Savannah’!  Looking forward to discovering how the night unfolds!

Kisses,

Emme
