The Offical Honey Do List

I apologize if this thread read as rude or lacking respect. Sometimes couples have different ways of "playing" with each other and lessening the "pressure" of all the "things we gotta do". If it isn't your cup of tea... why bother posting? Please, feel free to deal with your relationship in any way you see fit, but when you see a couple couples having fun and "cutting up", either join the party or leave it. We "get" each other. If you don't then just exercise your right to "click" elsewhere. No disrespect intended. Simply feeling rather fed up with the "niceness police".

You're right and thank you. My sister use to give me shit about that. She would interrupt me like a child and make me say "thank you" or "please". One day I blew up.

I dont go for this "oh bless your heart" shit. I am polite and to the point. My honey is good to me and I am good to him. I take the time to tell him how wonderful he is and through my actions, not words, prove it in mountains. Fuck the stupid little words.

Then we teach you.

Trust me, I am a woman that has spent most of her life rolling the ball. Even in my past relationships.

But today, I will not enter into a relationship, partnership, etc. unless we are equal, he nurtures my heart and spirit and adores me enough to "want" to do things for me. We kid around with the honey do list.... lol- well maybe we make some list, BUT trust me I really dont need to. He has it all well covered. How refreshing for a change.

Todays list is made up mostly of cleaning up after being snowed in. I started some last night, after the wifey went back to start her work week. Got some dishes washed and picked up a few things. After clearing a car width path from road to the house, that was about all my back could muster.

Today will be doing all of the snow wear. The heavy socks, multiple layers of long johns/ sweats/ jammie pants. The shirts on top of shirts. And of course.. the towels that go over the cardboard that attempts to protect the floor. The doggy towels, the doggy sweaters. Robes, hats, turtle fur ( neck warmers)...

Have to get rid of water I stored up for flushing. Our water pump is electric ( which I will be switching to solar), so once the power goes so does the power of the flush. B U M M E R !!! I caught water dripping off the house to use for flushing and as i tend to over do with most things, I have quite a lot.. LOL! I may hang onto it for another day or two to make sure the storm coming through Tues/ Weds doesn't take out lines again.

This little weather experiment taught me quite a few things. The "list" of things we want to do to become more self- sufficient became very defined. I will be making calls and researching ways to make that happen for us.

It also taught me that indeed, my girl is no camper. NOPE! NIN! ZIP! ZILCH! ZERO! Todays list also includes the removal of any false hope that we may spend any time in a tent ever. She did try very hard to remain patient and supportive while I went overboard on survival 101. All I know, is she was never too cold, was able to flush, supped on steak and brussels sprouts and was much more content after we got a power inverter so that she could watch dvd's on the puter..LOL! We came to the conclusion that some evenings tv or puter free are good sometimes. We did like the quiet time and game time, but it would be better if it were "choice" rather than imposed!

The list also includes calling her and reminding her a few times to go to doc after work. She is so not a good "sick person". It's very hard when she is under the weather, because she works away from home. I hate that I cannot pamper her and take care of her. So I call and bug the hell out of her. Somehow there is a warped balance in there.

There's other junk on the list to be attended. I swear I do love being able to "check" stuff off!

Hope everyone is having a productive honeydo day!

Amazing how the strongest women need loving daddy types, huh? We are big ass babies.

As you know Farmer J has been delayed due to weather but expected Thursday. So I have an extra day to get things ready. Trust me tho, the honey do list has already been past down and once we "catch up" he'll be getting right on it.

Jess remember another storm is coming. I'm having M clear snow but I know I'll be filling that water, buckets again.

Christie's idea of camping is when room service is late. lol But thats cool. I will do a tent but prefer a cabin or motor home. But I feel more dialed in so we'll see. You can always grab J and go into the wilderness. I'll watch the pups BUT when we wanna go to the beach you guys better be ready.

ACK! The beach means flesh showing

Starts packing list for beach trip.. sunscreen, umbrellas, towels, blankets, build portable cabana for girls, build portable soaking pool ( in case ocean is too salty or what not ~ smirk~), margarita fixings, flip flops, floppy yet stylish hats, sand buckets, shovels, boogie boards, rafts, tubes, lounge chairs, coolers for gourmet lunch, look for waverunner rental, up life insurance.. I'm sure I have left something out that I will be reminded of.. LOL!

Camping.

I am NOT a camper. Nor am I a good patient. Be glad that I am at work this week.

Thank GOD for all that Jess did over the weekend or I would have been hungry and cold!

I thought I got an A+ for effort... even if I was wishing we were holed up in a 4-star somewhere...

If I have to be stranded, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be with!

Honestly tho you might not mind camping with me. I am Martha Stewart camper here. Even in the rough I can get pretty damn fancy. I need to dig up my last major camp trip where I brought an whole bed, a big carport tent, mosquito netting, animal print sheets, generator, fans, candles every where, music, carpet, fancy fire pit and lots of champagne. I even made escargot with mushrooms over the fire.

Of course I had to load my whole van but thats why i got it!

For all that effort, I could just stay at The Jefferson... LOL



I did think that we had steaks and brussel sprouts Saturday night was a very cool thing...

I. am. sick. of. snow.

[Kenna]

Mornin' everyone! Ahhhh I LOVE the blue sky and sunshine...passing some along your way (until the next snow...).

Made me smile very much and start my day with positive thoughts...Thanks darlin'.

Umm, Teach me please! LOL I'll pay the tuition in lots of homemade cookies & coffee. I, too, have spent most my life rolling the ball.... I've been called the "High Power Boardroom Priss with a whip". I'm finding it hard to let go of some "control" for lack of a better word.

But last night I thought of a good one:
Honey, Take me to Ireland.
