Last week's goal of no demands or asks did not go well, especially since we packed up the car for Big Bear ski trip on Friday and I was asking Dustin to do this and do that the whole time, ha! I kept a positive tone to my asks at least. Then, on Sunday started Extreme Nice Week and that didn't go well either because I didn't plan ahead to get him anything or do anything special and we were in the cabin with 6 other people. Monday, my extremely nice plan was to drive back home and let him sleep but the roads were snowy and icey and I knew he preferred to drive anyway, so that didn't work. Monday night, we gave each other short massages on our new massage table I got for Valentines Day, so that was nice! On Sunday I had a little fall skiing and my neck was extremely sore, so when Tuesday rolled around and I vowed to do something extremely nice for him, I just didn't have any energy to do so. I was frustrated with things I shouldn't have been frustrated with, mainly because I was in pain and that makes anyone in a bad mood. No excuses though, I should have gone out of my way to be Extremely Nice, but with the added pressure of putting the name to the week (ENW), it's almost as though it is harder to accomplish the goal. With some ibuprofen today I am feeling better, so I went to the store and bought bacon (which I have never done because I don't like it) to add to our scallop dinner. I also bought him a bunch of clothes at the Exchange and I hope he even likes just one thing and I'll be happy. He is on his way home from work and I plan to create a nice warm entry into the office (it's always cold on our first floor) when he walks in and give him a shoulder massage. I also suggested going to the movies tonight because he loves that too. Hopefully the rest of ENW will go more smoothly but I think I will change my blogging days to Sundays from now on so I can report on the entire week. I plan to come back and read these often.
