My poor readers.
As if you weren’t tired enough of me crowing about my wonderful husband, today, I get to make my “honey do” list public, thanks to Mama Kat.
I can’t help it. When I read the potential prompts, I couldn’t resist. It’s like taking candy from a baby.
The ultimate honey-do list. If your spouse agreed to do any ten things you asked, what would they be?
1. An ENTIRE day to myself
I’m easy to please. I’d love to be able to get up, enjoy a cup of coffee while it’s still hot, while checking my email, Twitter, Facebook and BlogFrog accounts. Then, it’s off to the gym, for a long, stress free workout. I’d be able to eat lunch while it’s hot, then head to Starbucks for a Cinnamon Dolce Creme Frap, while I sit and blog all afternoon. After I’m done writing, I’d stop by the nail salon for a manicure and pedicure, then head home totally refreshed. Total cost: $50.
2. Pick out a piece of jewelry
I adore my wedding set – it’s simple, classic, yet unique. Brett had it custom made with a jeweler he knows. I’d love for him to pick out another piece of jewelry for me: earrings, necklace, bracelet, you name it. Maybe I should send him a link to Lisa Leonard.
3. Read a book
It’s no secret that the youngest members of the Kennedy Kaboodle are not the best sleepers. I’ve been reading Elizabeth Pantley since the boys were about 9 months old. I believe in her parenting outlook and solutions, but just need Brett on board, too. He hasn’t read the book, and I’ll be honest — I’ve quit nagging him about it.
4. Write a guest post
I wrote a version of the boys’ birth story, and in talking to Brett, am amazed at how we remember the day so differently. I want him to write his version of Rachel’s birth story, as well as the boys, soon, before we both forget. I want to be able to pass this on to our children.
5. Keep on writing
I love hearing stories about my grandmothers’ childhood, and I know one day, our children and grandchildren will want to hear our stories. I bought Brett A Father’s Legacy
one year for Father’s Day, and I’d love to see more written in it.

I’m a planner and a list-maker, while my husband is more of a ‘wing it’ kind of guy. With going to the gym, I need some sort of workout plan, so that I can look back in 6 months and visualize my accomplishments. I need to know what kind of weights to do, and how much cardio, so that I maximize my time in the gym. Brett is a super athlete, so I’d much rather ask him than pay a trainer to tell me the same thing.
7. Split up the twins occasionally
Rachel gets one on one time with her Daddy a lot, but I think the boys are lacking. I’d like for Brett to take one of the boys with him on errands, instead of taking Rachel and leaving me at home with the boys.
8. Plan a date night
I’ve done the majority of our date planning since we’ve met. I think it’s due to our personalities — I like to have a schedule and a plan, while Brett is much more laid back than myself. I’d love a date night where he plans it all — scheduling child care, deciding what we’re doing, and putting the ideas into action.
9. Shop for skivvies
For me, that is. What wife wouldn’t want her husband to shop Victoria’s Secret for her? Word to the wise — make sure you have sizes in hand before going online, or to the store. Nothing would be worse than receiving panties sized for Rachel’s Barbies, that wouldn’t go over my behind.
10. Stay just the same
Our relationship is a work in progress, but I wouldn’t change anything about it. We’ve weathered a lot of storms in our short time together, and I’m looking forward to many more years with him.
