(((((Thanks, Michelle! \:\) )))))

Yesterday was good. Very good, actually \:\) . No tension, no nothing. Just good energy and pleasant vibes all the way around.

Went through all the kitchen drawers and got rid of some more stuff we really didn't need. They appear to be less 'cluttered' now. H noticed it when he got home from work and said, "Wow! Looks pretty good." I told him I would be going to buy some more dividers so that it would be even more organized. He seemed to really like that idea and even told me where to go for them - the 99 cent store \:D !

For dinner, I grilled some chicken and steamed carrots and asparagus. H said thanks, he really appreciated it. He made sure the kids said thank you as well. After cleaning up the kitchen, I suddenly had the urge to bake, so I decided to make some brownie bites. They were nearly gone within an hour , thanks to H and the boys! I only had one out of two dozen \:\( ! So I had to bake a cake ! S12's favorite - yellow cake with whipped milk chocolate frosting. Yum! \:\)

I also stopped at the store yesterday and picked up Gatorade for H. Just a couple though because the place I went to yesterday wanted $2 for just one Gatorade. I'm going to another store today where I can get them for a buck a piece. Since H drinks them everyday, I usually buy 20 at a time, and that only lasts about a week! Anyway, H saw the drinks in the fridge and asked who they were for since there were only a couple. I told him they were for him. I had only picked up a couple and planned to go elsewhere for more, but I wanted there to be at least one or two in the fridge for him now. H smiled, "Those are for me?" "Yes." "Thanks, I appreciate that \:\) !"

A couple of H's buddies were over last evening, too, but they mostly hung out in the garage (sorry, the "man cave" \:\/ ). H came inside from time to time to thank me again and again for everything I did today - cleaning out the kitchen drawers, fixing dinner, the brownies and cake. Even gave me a couple of hugs and made a comment when I was bending over! \:\)

Today, I have to go to Lowe's and check out new shower doors for our bathroom. H went to Home Depot but couldn't find any that he liked nor any that were the right size, so he asked me to go to Lowe's today. Gotta be sure to get more Gatorade, of course, as well as the drawer dividers.
