No Valentine for me.

Hans told me our very first Valentine's Day together, that he doesn't believe in Valentine's Day.

I thought he was stupid and we wouldn't last much longer.

But after nearly 10 years with him, I'm okay with the idea. Honestly, he spoils me every other day of the year, so if he wants February 14th off, I'm okay with that. Everything is overpriced that day anyhow.

As I walked up to my front door this evening after errands, I realized there was a 1-800-Flowers box at my front door. They were G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S red roses and calla lilies with a note that said, "Happy day before Valentine's Day."

He's great at making me smile.

Staying organized.

My goal is to be an organized housewife. It's only day 2 and I have a notebook that someone will lose a hand over if I find it tampered with. I've decided to plan dinners ahead of time. Creating a grocery list at the time of planning, so I only have to make 1 grocery trip per week. I will also keep my to do list on the same page and make sure that I have a few "productive" things to assign myself each day.

I wrote my first page yesterday. As I looked at it just now, I realized...someone's about to lose a hand. You can probably guess who.

Anyways.

I need to make sure that a shower is considered productive. I thought I would be enjoying long, warm showers since I have an unlimited amount of time at home. I was wrong. I've gone 2 1/2 days without a shower. This bothers me.
