Let's Talk About SEX

Funnily (is that a real word-oh well, I'm going with it!) this post happens to fall on my 13th anniversary.


Ok let's talk about sex. Yes, I said it.

SEX!

I think my hubby and I have a pretty good sex life. After 13 years (the 27th of this month!) it's still going strong. Most day's I'm all for it.

But...do you ever have those days where you just might not be in the mood but the other is, and maybe it's been a few days or so since you've done the horizontal mambo, and the hubby is starting to become Mr. Cranky pants, and you know if you give him a little lovin he'll feel a little better?

That's the kind of sex I'm talking about. I admit it. Sometimes if I'm not really in the mood but I know that he is (well, when isn't he?) and he's giving me the wink, and it's been a few days, I'll go for it.

Just a quicky. Just a little something that, you know, will please your man. I think sometimes that helps keep the peace in the relationship. Now no flames please.

I'm not talking about if you are just not jiving with it and say no way and they are going to take liberties because they can. Nope. Just sometimes I don't mind helping out my man a little bit, and often times I end up having a pretty good time myself.

So....does anyone else do it sometimes just to please the other?

Always have a plan

I'm a planner. I like to plan ahead my day, weeks, months. I like to make lists of stuff to do. You should see me make a list if we are taking a trip!

You may remember that I am in the middle of a remodel on our kitchen.

HELLO! Decisions! Everywhere.

Lot's of planning to do. Where should we put the stove? How should we position the cabinets? Should we knock out that wall? What about counters? What color and style? Don't forget about the floors either!

This is where the sticky part comes in. I like to PLAN. That means, I like to go to the counter/floor/paint place and see what they have. I want to look around and see some different styles.

I never thought it would be so stressful.

I DO love shopping! Even if it's just window style. :) It's hubby that is making it stressful. Hubby is more of a last minute person. Hubby wants to wait until the day before it's time to put it all in and just go pick something out.

What if we pick something that we hate or looks horrible after we get it in? One time he relented and agreed to just go look with me. He even took me out to dinner. It was Zips, but we were all by ourselves so it counts right? We looked at counter top samples.

I picked out one I kind of liked. He didn't.

He found some flooring he liked. I didn't.

How did this become so hard? I want to keep looking but he thinks I am just crazy. We are not at that stage yet so why bother? UGH! I want to beam him with a granite sample. Because dear, dear, hubby I need to plan and see what there is to choose from so when the time does come, I can be ready. With a plan.

Question for today is: If your income were drastically reduced, what luxuries would you give up?

Starting new

Valerie is a wife and mom to three spectacular kids (but what else would their Auntie Andrea say??)  She works part time helping out in her husbands shop and is involved in the kids PTA. Obsessed with scrapbooking and making flannel blankets she enjoys a good book and sunny weather.  Her blog is private so you'll just have to enjoy her writing here on Venus.

Will I get this?

Or perhaps this?

Digging and sweat dripping.

Pounding nails and in your head.

Tears of frustration, and tears of elation.

Finding the perfect spot.

Finding out your measurement is off.

Some naughty words slip from your mouth, some mean thoughts go through your mind.

At the end of the day, your body so tired, a nice hot bath is waiting. Surprise!

So it starts. The real test of a marriage.

A kitchen remodel.
