So there is obviously a nasty flu going around, I had it for 3 weeks and it was horrible! The worst part was that I wasn't able to go out on the weekends because I felt so bad :( Here are some stay at home date night ideas if you have the flu!

1. Movie night Nothing is better than curling   up with a good movie, lots of blankets and a hot cup of tea when you're not   feeling well. Why not include your man on the action? Run out to rent a movie   or check out what your cable provider has to offer, slip into your favorite   cozy pajamas, get the kettle going and cuddle up in bed or on the couch. We   guarantee you'll be feeling better in no time. Plus, he's more likely to agree   to that chick flick you've been dying to see when he's sick and in no mood to   argue.

2. Sick day TV marathon News channels and doctors   have been warning everyone: if you don't feel well, please stay home! Take advantage   of a day at home with your guy. Spend the day catching up on a series online   or on your DVR you both enjoy. After all, they say laughter is the best medicine.

3. Cozy up in the kitchen Everyone knows delicious,   hot soup is a great cure for whatever ails you. Kick the canned stuff to the   curb for the night and try your hand at making some from scratch. Get out the   crock pot, roll up your sleeves and get to work together. You'll have plenty   of time to catch up and talk about whatever's on your mind while you chop up   ingredients together.

4. Fireside date night Just because you're sick   and don't want to go out, doesn't mean you can't set up a little date at home.   All you need is a fire place, pillows and blankets, your favorite feel-good   foods and each other's company. Don't have a fireplace? Light a bunch of candles;   it may not give off the same heat, but it sets the mood just the same! The romance   doesn't have to end when dinner is done; take the time to speak intimately to   each other.
