Quote: However, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, and forgive me it it ruins anything...but the person I remember as the "Domestic Goddess" was Rosanne Barr from her early stand-up days!!
Yikes!! I may have to rethink that. I don't think I've ever seen her stand-up routine. I only remember the tv show. I was always the same age as her "daughter" Darlene, and I used to think that was cool! How dorky is that!!!
I just got on a little bit ago. Sage had 17 new messages, sb had 11 and on and on. I hate not being here all weekend, but I'll happily accept the reason why. No time, since I'm spending it all with H and kids.
On Saturday, H went to Home Depot and got the supplies. We spent the rest of the day painting the laundry room and putting up cabinets (Instead of wire racks). It looks great! When we were done, we took the kids to the toy store (reward for s3 going #2 on the potty ) and then out to dinner. Sunday morning, we hung out together and then around noon, I had to leave to go to a wedding shower. When I got home, H went to the grocery store to pick up the food for dinner. he had a taste for tacos and I had nothing to make it with. It was a nice relaxing weekend.
There was only one bad moment: H was having trouble finding a stud to drill the cabinet into. I made a couple cracks about him not having a stud-finder. He snapped at me pretty bad. I told him I was just teasing him and he came back with, well you said it twice, that's not teasing. I just backed off and didnt snap back (a 180 for me) The tension eventually blew over.
H did speak with FF this weekend. He called their house to get some directions for me from her H. Of course she never gave him the phone, just relayed the info to her H. I was pleasant but present the whole time. Later in the evening, he told me that she had invited us out to dinner at a tapas restaurant downtown, but he declined. Good thing because if he'd have even asked me, I would have had to smack him! I may be able to deal with her presence, but I still don't have to be social. She never acts up at work or during the day. It only gets awful when we're social and their is drinking (and other people) involved. That is something that just dawned on me. She only acts provocatively when there are people to see it happen, not just me and her H, but a crowd. She is such a needy $&#%@! How annoying.
Anyway, back to good stuff...this is Piecing, right??!!? Did I happen to mention that H brought 2 bouquets of flowers home from the store? One for me and one for our D1. Plus, he mentioned to my s3, in my presence, if he would like to start meeting him once a week for lunch! That's my #1 language - quality time! To anyone out there who is a work-a-holic, penciling in time for loved ones can be such a loving gesture!
oh, and when I was at the wedding shower, he did all the laundry for me so I could start the week fresh! He's a total "Acts of Service" guy.
No ILY's yet, but I'm hoping to get one in time for our 6th Anniversary in June.
