We all have known that 2012 is no exception to the weather
confusion caused by more than just global warming. My personal range of acceptable
weather conditions is quickly narrowing, and I admittedly spend more than my
time allotment complaining about the weather. I hate to stop my loud words of
complaint since complaining is one thing that I accomplish quite well. Even so,
I want to continue with my list of summer suggestions while my fingers are
still moving.
The rest of this post will contain items 16 through 20 of
easy things to do with your significant other in your personal trek to a good
life. There are so many sites, books and garbage mail aimed at convincing you
to spend your time and money having fun with your family in order for your kids
to be accepted in any future college choices. You must use a second mortgage to
go convince your family that Fun should legally be your new last name. I wanted
to come up with some more realistic ways to check in with your honey and remind
each other why you fell in love. (Isn’t that sweet?) So, on with my list.
16. Pull out old photo albums. You can either remark on how
handsome everyone used to be or convince each other you are far more gorgeous
now. Avoid comments about puffy hair, huge glasses and unusual clothing styles.
We all know that those trends will be popular again soon enough. Nobody has
gained weight; it’s just something in the air that is shrinking clothing.
17. Lock the doors, pull the shades and spend the day in
pajamas. Do whatever you want to do as long as it involves relaxation.
Have a day of rest. For God, the seventh day was to be with no work. Now we are
too ashamed to sit down and let our minds slow down. I dare you to post a
message on the computer during the day before and then turn off your phones,
unplug the laptops and spend time together. Will you make it past noon?
18. Get out an old cookbook or pull out your parents’ old
recipes, then make some delicious treat that is full of sugar, butter, and
white flour. Maybe make some cookies but eat plenty of cookie dough before they
hit the oven. Make a mess when you are pretending to be bakery chefs. Ignore looking
at fat grams; that is just some sort of scientific conspiracy. Enjoy!
19. Go and get a massage together. My husband now
understands the essence of this luxury and quickly dons those white robes at
resorts. Let the masseuse gently work out some of those tension kinks. Try oil
or those delightful warm stones. Close your eyes and “be with the moment.” That
feels so good even typing it down. Can you hear that spa music in the background?
20. Hit a local winery for a tasting or two. You can
frequently purchase some appetizers to go with a glass of wine. Practice your
swirling – of the wines not your bodies. It’s generally awkward to get up from
those wooden floors and pretend you meant to slip to a horizontal position.
Plus, fights with your significant other can arise when he walks off pretending
not to know you. The whole idea is to spend some quality time together to remind
you that life is good.
God Uses My Chronic Pain to Prove that Life is Good
- You can always blame your pain on those awkward flips and
slips to the floor.
