The Socks vs. Me...

I took this picture earlier this week in an attempt to EmPaThIzE with one of my Blogger/Facebook Buddies...You know who you are :)



I dedicate this post to you and anyone else who continually BaTtLeS the infamous sock BrIgAdE that is an ever present ThReaT to the organization and cleanliness of my home and many others throughout the world...

How is it that the SoCkS never cease to DeFeAt me and ObLiTeRaTe any sense of order I strive to maintain?....How is it that every week I throw up my hands in SuRrEnDer as the SoCkS overtake my life?...

Perhaps it is one of those MysTeRiEs in life too great for me to ever CoMpReHeNd...How is it that the socks AlwAyS win?...

ABC...Baby you and Me!

So...last year we resolved to be faithful to our date night, but we realized we often ended up going to the same places and doing the same old things for lack of NeW ideas. Too often we wound up wasting the night away, finding ourselves still at home when the night was nearly over. :(
It just so happened that I ran into this BrIlLiAnT idea from an AmAzInG girl I knew in HiGh ScHoOl: A-Z Dates...dating through the alphabet!
We realized that if we had one date/week, we could make it through the the AlpHaBeT two times...well, that was a bit OpToMisTiC, but I'm glad we set a high goal because we did actually make it through the alphabet once :)
You'll notice we really like to eat good FoOd...a little too much at times. Around Q I'm a bit rounder than I prefer, but seeing the pictures from our date helped me to get back into shape by Z...
At any rate, we had a fabulous year of LoViN' in large part to this creative idea...Thanks Melissa!

I envisioned having music to this video, but I couldn't quite get it to work...so if you would like the video viewing experience I had in mind, just go down to the bottom of the page, and press play before playing the video :) Enjoy, and I hope that you'll try it with someone you love some day...

Too Late

I was just about ready to do a True Confessions entry on how my Christmas tree was still up and how I had AbSoLuTeLy no intention of taking it down anytime soon...how plugging the tree in and seeing its cozy, warm glow makes getting up at the DreAdFuL hour of six a.m. a little less painful, etc....



When much to my SuRpRiSe my love met me at the door on Tuesday, our tree in hand, hauling it to be disposed of in a location that shall remain UnDiScLoSeD (I'll simply say that I am a rule follower...Mr. Bailey is not ;)). It should also be noted that the tree was still wrapped in LiGhTs while it was headed for destruction! The scene was quite hilarious...scads of pine needles and ornaments everywhere...I must have said something to the effect of "No! I can't believe it's over...our tree, our beautiful tree!" about ten times...

I so wish I had a picture of Dan carrying our light adorned tree out of this place...such DeTeRmInAtiOn!

At any rate...after all of that I'm afraid I still have a true confession to make...

We haven't sat on our couch all week... I just can't bring myself to pack up those lovely ornaments...
