  • Super Husband

    Be a ‘super husband’ for a week

  • Room Cleaning

    Clean 4 rooms in 4 weeks

Sadly, I didn’t take any pictures of being a super husband, and of course I don’t remember anything that happened more than a week ago, so I’ll just describe my goal:

I decided that for one week, I was going to spend every minute that I was around Mindy making her happy.  And holy cow, it was HARD!  Not that I’m a mean person all the time, but it’s just so easy to be complacent with the person you’ve been with for 16 years now.  I didn’t realize how much I take Mindy for granted much of the time.  So for this goal, I tried to make sure I was doing a very nice thing for Mindy at least once or twice a day, and filled in with several tiny nice things for her.

Off the top of my head, the only thing I can remember right now is when I went out and bought fancy doughnuts and a bouquet of flowers for her.  Lemme go see if she remembers anything else…

Nope, she doesn’t remember anything either, except that I was really nice to her, and I made the boys be extra nice to her, too.  Oh, and I did the dishes and cleaned every day.

As for the room cleaning.  The intention was to get 4 rooms in our house super duper extra clean.  And it did work, for 2 of them…

However, I decided to make one of the rooms our bedroom, and that’s where the problem came.  Since this year, Mindy and I finally decided to remodel our bedroom.  So I guess this is as good a place as any to put a bunch of pictures of our bedroom remodel.  We removed that horrible red carpet, installed two large windows overlooking the yard, reframed the old, molded window frames, added several lights, and moved the fan.

Oh, and when I say ‘we’, I mean mostly Wayne and Mindy.  Generally for these projects I take the role of cheerleaders and official photographer.  However, I did help when it came time to sand and paint the room, thank you very much.
