There is No "Me" in "We"


My husband seems to listen to everything. He catches every word I say, even when I am being a smarty pants and really do not want him to hear. Yesterday, we were in the kitchen discussing (he was really discussing I was kinda of just in the room) about moving my brand new KitchenAide off of the counter and putting it on the bakers rack. I really am not feeling it. I want to see my KitchenAide on a daily basis. I waited to long to get it. I responded after he gave me all of his points as to why it should move, " We'll I do not want to move my KitchenAide. I will move the other stuff that I have soon, to make more room." He stood there and just looked at me. He made this funny look on his face and then said," Move your stuff? I thought it was our stuff?" He said it like he was offended or something. I immediately became confused. Since when did he care about the stuff in the kitchen, that is my domain. He mainly goes in there to get something to drink and walks back out the room. I recovered quickly and stated," I mean our stuff." He seemed to accept my response and did what he always does and got something to drink and walked off to go watch TV in another room.


Ever since we got married, it has become we this, we that. Now do not get me wrong, I do enjoy the we, but since when did it matter. We lived together for years before we got married, so I always thought it was our stuff. So if I did not change my thought process, it had to be him. Now that we are married I think he feels more responsibility for me and our things. It is kinda cute. So I need now going to enroll myself in "We-Camp" so that I can no longer offend my husband. I have created a new motto for myself. My new motto is that "There is no me, in we." Not to say I will not still be Dana, just to say that I will be more conscious of the team aspect of my marriage. Glad I learned this lesson early.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
