Christmas!!

Pizza

Cheers

 Making Christmas plates for my mom and the MIL. Drew a Santa on a plate one with pizza on a platter and one with beer on the platter. My mom LOVED it because in our house Santa was lactose intolerant so we left out pizza and coke. For years my mom wanted a plate and cup with santa and a pizza so I made her this! I gave it to her early cause she has been having a hard time getting into the christmas spirit (i have to to be honest) so I figured it may get her into the swing of things. DH wanted me to make my MIL one. She drinks all the time so i just made her santa with some beer and a mug. I figured if all else fails she will have something. We get them jewelry all the time but this year we are tight on money and what else do parents like then homemade gifts. =) The blue plate is a dog. DH said it looked like the small dog off 2 Stupid Dogs, but my Grandma loves dogs so I figured I could make her it. (it was supposed to be for Dirty Santa but she is coming into town early and I have nothen for her)

Sick Husband

Well the husband getting sick with all this change of weather. He is like a snot rocket and is grossing me out. He isn't a big baby about it though, so thats good. I know when I'm sick I'm usually cranky and  whiney, so i think its a good mix between us both. He is loaded up on cold medicine cooking so I think I need to help him. lol

Pre Christmas Stuff

Well my family went to the Christmas parade on the river tonight and it ended with fireworks. It was fun, the parade was awful after the long weight there was four boats, first had santa skiing on the back, and the others just went around changing whoever sponsored them. Anyway, it made up for the bad time with my extended family today and I'm happy I could make my mom feel better, but really I wanna know who else has issues with family. My family's main problem (besides my parents) is communication. Nobody talks to each other till an hour before we are supposed to meet and they expect everyone to be ready with their bells and whistles on. If they would just wake up or shut up it would be amazing. Anyway I know it could have been worse. DH got worst part of it by not being there cause I fussed at him at the end of the day.

Keeping the Intimacy Alive

So I got asked today about sex. One of my friends have been having problems with her DH has stopped all together having sex with her and she is worried. He has been watching more porn then normal and clams to be to tired. She has been having dreams which is making her feel worse. She is an Air Force wife that is seeming to be stressed. She said they have tried a lot. She doesn't like most of the stuff they have tried. She said he really only talks about having a three-some. (most men)
My advice was to confront him about why he is acting like that. I told her to make dinner for them (something he likes) and massage his back and talk to try and get him less stressed. I told her to try the stuff that he likes. (even though she doesn't) Talk about more fantasies and try to steer the conversation away from bringing more women.
Yes, when you get married the sex is more spread out because life happens. Work, school, kids, money, friends, and other things get in the way, but you have to try not to loose that intimacy with your spouse. Try having date nights out or in. If you have kids get a babysitter and be alone. You don't have to have sex to be intimate. Most long-term intimacy between people starts with communication. I have found that just asking about their day and listening to their problems has a huge impact on their day. Another tip is don't loose your since of humor. I know if anyone else is like my DH you ask all the time "why am I married to you?" but I know exactly why.

Remember Everyone Deployed

Love Letter

So I found this on one of those fail blogs and had to make my own version of it. My DH loves video games, so when I found this it was necessary I did this. I didn't really have a reason though. This is good for any video game lover. You can change the games to the ones they like and make a funny story with them. I want to make one for my brother for Christmas and frame it for him. I really don't know what it will say, but it will be cute on some colored paper.

Hair Curling Tutorial

I really am gonna try this! She has long hair and Im gonna try it with my medium length hair. She makes it look so easy.
Update: This didnt work for me. I have medium/short fine hair and i couldnt get the curls to stay long enough to finish getting all the way around befor they fell. I tried putting hair spray first but it was to tangled to do anything. My DH even tried to help and he had issues with it as well. So any adivice would help.
