Be more romantic.
I never thought I'd ever say that but I'm finding myself craving romance. Before you all gag and choke on your vomit, I think my definition of romance is a little different than everyone elses. I don't want poems, hand-holding or any other snuggle-bunny type of affection... I guess I just want him to be more thoughtful.
For the last few months (after our home renovations), I've seen a pattern with us. We sit on the couch and watch TV. Whoo! Actually, now that we have the Wii... perhaps there are some nights of playing Guitar Hero sprinkled in there.
I'm just looking to break this pattern (well... at least until I've mastered Guitar Hero).
So, The Mr took me seriously! Be brought home flower yesterday (my favorite!) for no reason. And the "no reason" reason is the best reason of all. Aww... although that didn't stop us from spending the evening sitting on the couch. Actually - I was uploading more music to my iPod but still. We're working on it.

a big "aaaawwwwwwww" on the flowers for no reason! so sweet.
and i hear you on the "more romance" being less gag-me over-the-top cliche'd stuff, but being more thoughtful and breaking out of the comfortable rut once in awhile. for me, romance can be when he does the dishes after dinner without me having to ask him to do it... or him grabbing take-out on the way home from work so i don't have have to cook b/c he knows i've had a long day (because? there is NO WAY i'd eat anything he cooked, and he knows that and has given up trying, which is just better for both of our sakes. the man can ruin instant mac 'n cheese, if you can believe that)
good luck with the continuing "romance" !!!
oh man, I've seen this happen before. They're good for like a week and a half and then the addle brained boys that they are forget that entire conversation.
As a side, yet not really side, note, I have been thinking about posting resolutions, but I don't even know that I have any. I'm so buried in not having a job that I can't think any further than "Will the temp agency call me with work today" It's really kind of sad and I'm so over it. I want normal life!
wait aminute, I just hijacked your post.
Please put more pictures in, I love this one. And I want more.
Ian is going to want to kill Jeremy after I read your post to him ha. I recently told Ian that he needs to turn up the romance a bit in terms of the thoughtfulness. I said that even getting an email from him midweek and saying "hope you're having a great day" would be considered romantic. He surprised me by cooking dinner and setting the table nicely (with candles too) and I was quite pleased!
The good guys are the ones that actually spring into action when you mention to them what you need!
That is so sweet! Everyone needs a reminder now and then :)
Ryan and I talked abou this last night. We were arguing about who does more around the house and I told him that if he just surprised me with dinner, even once a month, I wouldn't be able to say "You NEVER make dinner."
I love the flower-for-no-reason. Super cute!
And sometimes guys definitely need the reminder. Then again, I have to remind myself, too. :)
Brownie points for the Mr.! I'm going to send this post to Drew so he can take some notes :-)
Oh, and the Smack Factor introduced us to Guitar Hero last weekend. I am obsessed now. Nice flash pic!
