Old habits die hard... or maybe not?

So I learned a great trick this week.

If you ever want to work on fixing a bad habit,

tell your spouse about it and tell him/her that if you do the bad habit you have to give them something.

I would recommend something small because you might do the bad habit a lot,

 I told him I'd get him a snickers bar.

Well, I decided to do this a couple months ago.

Then I forgot.

Then, I did the thing I'm trying to fix,

and apologized to my sweet husband,

he responded with, "You owe me a snickers :)".

I sat puzzled for a while,

but then I remembered and laughed.

I brought home the snickers bar and he laughed that I actually did.

This little jester made us both laugh and feel happy and it helped me with my bad habit.

Plus, I got half of the snickers bar!

Win win!

PS

I am liking our house color. I think it was the shock of the color that drove me to rant and rave. While I still dislike the color of the eves, I don't mind the house and I think it will look really nice when we paint the eves.

And we've had several neighbors stop on their walks around the neighborhood and complement us on our home and our yard. We have very nice neighbors!

Yesterday, we had the yard graded (pictures to come), so we moved the boat and the trailer to our neighbors yard so their were out of the way. As we were moving them back today I heard some people walking talking about our house. It may have been that I was pretty far away and I didn't catch all of the conversation, but I'm pretty sure she was pretty impressed with the work we've done... or in the case of the outside, had done. It was very nice to hear! 

And it's been very nice to hear all of the sweet comments from all of our wonderful readers!

So thank you too!
