Top 10 Things Guys Don't Say Often Enough


Yesterday was my birthday and my husband, who always seems to have a way of surprising me, managed to stop at the Hallmark store with his co-worker on the way to meet me for lunch.  Before I had even made much of a dent in the guacamole which I had ordered for myself, two big guys walked through the door with cards AND gifts in hand. Now, for the record, I am not complaining that one of the gift bags happened to resemble the kind of bag that one receives for free when one purchases a gift at a Hallmark store.  I was sincerely touched by the gesture.

My husband's card was quite funny and, since many of you have husbands, I thought I would share it with you here!

From my Husband:

The TOP 10 Things I Don't Say Often Enough:

  1. I hate to miss the game, but this floor could use a good scrubbing.
  2. Why don't you buy a nice new pair of shoes to go with that outfit?
  3. Let's rent a romantic movie.  If I see one more car chase, I'm gonna hurl!
  4. Yeah, I'm pretty tired, too, so let's just cuddle.
  5. Why can't they show real-looking women in those lingerie catalogs?
  6. My thumb's getting tired.  Would you mind holding the remote for a while?
  7. I'm not sure we've seen enough of your family lately.
  8. You got enough pillows over there?
  9. Sure, I'll be glad to hold your purse while we're standing next to this construction site.
  10. And the number one thing I don't say often enough.....I'll love you forever!

I especially enjoyed the comments about visiting my family more and handing over the pillows, as I've been known to yank a pillow out from under him while he was sleeping.  I just figure that excessive pillow usage is my prerogative having given birth to four children.

Wishing you all a Happy Friday!

Rachel

Butter Bean Soup

Happy New Year!  We are off to a cold start! It's so cold that the Governor cancelled school for the entire state! That never happens. Up here in Minnesota, when it gets cold, we just pull up our snow pants and pull down our hats.  In the South, they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity.  Up North, we say it's not the cold, it's the wind.  Windchill temperatures (what it actually feels like), are said to be -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the coldest it's been since 1996 - just shortly before we moved to Atlanta.  Hmmmm…… it's all coming back to me now.  Nevertheless, my 16-year old says it's a great way to start second semester! When it's cold outside, there is nothing I love more than making soup. Soup is the perfect excuse to stand over a hot stove on a cold day. You can hold soup in a coffee mug and let it warm your hands. You can sip soup in the same mug and let it warm you from the inside out. There's a reason for ...

Dr. Seuss Snacks!

Image
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.  I admit it.  I love Dr. Seuss!  A collection of these sing-song-y rhymes was the first thing I put on the bookshelves of our very first baby nursery.  Four kids later, I now have talents that include being able to recite The Cat In The Hat from memory! In honor of the late great Dr. Seuss (He would have been 107 on March 2nd) we are making these cute snacks!  Absolutely no skill or talent required! Simply start with a box of blue Jell-O..... and divide into four clear plastic cups. (The fish have to have a place to swim!) After the Jell-O has set, have the kids add their own fish!  (Swedish Fish, that is!) Ella's kindergarten class gets a Dr. Seuss party after they have collectively read 107 books! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Groundhog Pudding Cups

Now that we are back living in The North, I'm starting to remember why, prior to my life in The South, I had only had a handful of pedicures and didn't own any sandals.  Exposing one's feet presents health risks.  Like frostbite. Groundhog's Day (February 2nd) is just around the corner. At this time, as legend has it, the groundhog will either emerge from its hole on a sunny day, see its shadow, get scared, and hide leaving us with six more weeks of winter, or it will emerge on a cloudy day, see nothing noteworthy and predict an early spring.  Sunny or not, a package of Pepperidge Farm Milano's was all the inspiration I needed to celebrate the impending season. When I first saw these cookies in Family Fun magazine, I immediately tore out the page. How cute are these groundhogs?  The actual assembly is a bit tedious, but the eager anticipation of the recipients makes it all worth while. Begin with some Milano cookies.  Use sliced almonds for ...
