5 Things Music Man Did For Me This Past Week

I read an article today talking about focusing on the positive things in a marriage and a suggestion to list 5 things your spouse did the past week for you. Here is my list:

1. Took me out to dinner when the smell of the stuffed peppers I made were making me horribly nauseous. (Miss Goofy and the Cranky Old Man loved them by the way.)

2. Built a wonderful desk/computer area for us in our bedroom. Now we can be much more comfortable in the evening when we're working and can sit right next to each other, enjoying each other's company.

3. Helped me cut up veggies and meat for a breakfast casserole that we enjoyed on Sunday morning. The ingredients had to be prepared the night before and go into the crock pot. Music Man was tired and needed to sleep but he helped me instead.

4. Raved about how nice the bedroom looked yesterday after I cleaned and organized our new desk.

5. Stayed up late on Friday night just talking and giggling with me. When it was time for us to go to sleep he held me close all night.

I know it's all little stuff but it's in the little things that we show our love and appreciation for each other. This is fairly simple to do, try it and you might realize all the little things we take for granted.

I Give Up On Polls For My Challenge

I have decided to accept the one vote that I actually got. I'm going to try and cook dinner at home for the next 3 weeks. I already completed week one. Except for the night that the meat I had set out didn't thaw. We went out to dinner that night. I did keep track of it for Weight Watchers though. And I was fully prepared to make dinner. So, I'm going to ask now for people to leave me ideas of what I should do next. I think I like the idea of adding something new to my routine every month. I used to follow FlyLady, but she tends to do the same stuff every year and while I need the reminder to do stuff again, it does get repetitive.

Plus I feel guilty when I don't follow her plan every day.

Okay so for today, I will make Lemon Pepper Turkey Tenderloin and Summer Corn Salad. I think I may be anxious for warm weather. I need to work with Miss Goofy on schoolwork, and to re-input all of my lesson plans into a new database. I hope that it works correctly this time. If not, then I may have to stop trying to make the program calculate time spent and instead enter it manually. Kind of a pain to do, but it may be necessary. Wow, what a fun day I have planned. I better get to it!

If you're looking for a poll...

...then you'll have to look elsewhere cause no one posted any comments! So, I'll try again. Send me your suggestions. No, Music Man, calling and telling me doesn't count. I don't remember them then. I still like the vacuum one. Or maybe cook dinner every night. Maybe eat at home would be better, then I can pawn the cooking off on Miss Goofy and Music Man. Yeah, I like that one.

Well, I worked out this morning so I probably stink from all the sweating I did, so I'll make this short. Send me your suggestions. I need them.

Okay, off to the showers.

Have a great day!
