10. How to conceive a child! grr... 4 1/2 years off birth control & I'm STILL not pregnant!

Nine things about myself.
1. I'm cold
2. I was so tired yesterday afternoon that I almost fell asleep sitting in the grocery store, waiting for my husband.
3. I've recently started using Ivory soap instead of shampoo & an apple cider vinegar rinse instead of conditioner.
4. I'm secretly resentful of my husband's wanting to buy a new truck. The last new vehicle we got was for him. When is it my turn?
5. I'm getting excited about seeing my parents in the fall.
6. I'm also planning a trip to Phoenix in the spring.
7. I'm very happy knowing that Chris' finances & health care are set for life.
8. I really wish that I could quit & just be a full time wife & mom.
9. I'm afraid of how lazy I'd get if I did that though.

Eight ways to win my heart.
1. Slow dance with me in the kitchen.
2. Straighten the covers after you get up, making sure that I have plenty.
3. Be nice to my pets, even when you think I'm not looking.
4. Try to remember the names of all of my 25+ first cousins.
5. Come by my work on the mornings you know my boss won't be here, just because you wanted to see me & say "Hi".
6. Take care of me by taking care of my car. A well-maintained car = a safe Cheryl
7. Love my wobbly bits even though I hate them.
8. Tell me on my 36th birthday that I'll always be 16 in your eyes.
