12. Declare an extra anniversary (or two)/ I like this one. We do have annivesaries for annivesaries.
13. Meet someplace all dressed up/he calls me at work and will say meet me at such and such resturant after work, my treat. You know I am so there. LOL.
14. Feather your nest/I can’t believe I did not think of this sooner. I am going to put my fav pic of me in a nice frame and put it on his computer stand. I have 4 pics of him on mine.
15. Say it with flowers/As much as I love flowers he knows I would prefer a new plant. They don’t die in a week but do take longer for me to kill. LOL.
16. Keep notes/We take mental notes. Too bad hubby remembers everything.
17. Walk arm in arm/can’t do this one. It would look stupid. I love my heels. I am 5’9 1/2(without heels.6’2-3 with.) and hubby is 5’8. As much as we love Prince, he is the only man that can wear heels and get away with it. Plus when hubby shaves his face he looks like a little boy. Someone will call CPS on me.
18. Bank on it/but make sure both agree on it.
19. Give the right thing/We are not picky, just appreciative that we took the time to think of giving. Even if it were a shoulder to lean on or to listen without interuption.
20. Get a “married folks†hobby/I just read a book Saturday and passed it to hubby to read so we can do our “Married Oprah Book Club”. I guess he did not read page one yet because there was not a pic of a beautiful black woman on the cover( i e Vibe and King Mag.) those do get read. FYI. Buy two copies of the same book so you don’t have to wait for your spouse to finish reading it for dicussing and don’t forget to pass the books along to a married couple.
21. Prick up your ears/listen more but don’t eaves drop when the other spouse is on the phone. You don’t know what the other side of the convo is. He always tells me when he gets off the phone anyway.
22. Find an out-of-the-house meeting place/this is a nice meal and a check in at an over night in a wedding suite. We do have a cheap motel with theme rooms in our vacinity but he knows I would rather not go there.
23. Hang out with single people/You hang out with single ppl to remind you that you are glad you are married or to convince the single ppl who have never married but have kids with the person they are still shacking up with that to be married is a blesing not a curse or burden.
I know this post was not meant for each to be commented on but I was having too much fun and realize that someone will take heed of my unsoliciated advice. LOL.
