In growing up where everything had to be perfect prior to and during entertaining and taking that into my adult life as the norm, I have over the years just stopped entertaining because I didn't want that stress in my life anymore. My heart has changed in large part due to your blog and I am excited to entertain again with a whole new approach and attitude. <BR/>Hugs<BR/>Ne NeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-56481511146063868112007-02-07T16:34:00.000-08:002007-02-07T16:34:00.000-08:00Does Chris Tomlin have a blog?!

We've even gone on walks and fly-fishing, or even to a movie. Or a free concert in the park. I know your kiddos are still little though and babysitters cost money. I hope the *question* idea works for you guys! We are still learning things about each other, after 15 yrs. of marriage.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910644413175366761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-46515269609976548382007-02-03T13:49:00.000-08:002007-02-03T13:49:00.000-08:00Sandy, unfortunately the times when my husband and...Sandy, unfortunately the times when my husband and I actually go on dates are few and far between. Money is usually the issue, so we reserve our dates for just special occasions. And truthfully, our dates are a little awkward. We try not to talk about the kids too much, so at first the conversation tends to be a little strained. In almost 8 years of marriage, I didn't think there could be anything new to learn, but I don't think I know who inspires him. We're going out to lunch together tomorrow, so I will be sure to think of a few questions. And I will be sure to really listen to him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570437173288571934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-17030450692960563992007-02-03T12:14:00.000-08:002007-02-03T12:14:00.000-08:00Hey, Dee, I like your idea with TIME magazine!
I ...Hey, Dee, I like your idea with TIME magazine! <br />I played the "6 weird things" game on your blog. Since I'm not deviating from my "10 C's" here is what I posted on Dee's blog, 6 weird things about myself:<br /><br />1.I love to make chocolate chip cookie dough, put some in a mug and microwave for 30 seconds. YUM.<br />2. I have very short toes.<br />3. I love shoes and table cloths. I won't tell you how many I have of each.<br />4. I can remember numbers very well. It use to drive my Mom crazy when I dialed a phone number and then a month later I'd remember it.<br />5. When I was young and stupid, my girlfriends and I would put motor oil on our skin and we would lie in the sun! Can you imagine what the swimming pool looked like?<br />6. I'm very organized when it comes to managing my personal time, but my personal space is usually very disorganized (until I can't stand it any more, then I organize it).<br /><br />And "Apron Girl" I remember the years of entertaining with small kids. Interesting times, indeed! I hope you and your hubby get back into it!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910644413175366761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-51059214944714547822007-02-02T12:24:00.000-08:002007-02-02T12:24:00.000-08:00TIME as conversation piece--funny!

I think sometimes we hafta learn to care about others enuf to ask them questions about the details of their lives. But then when we do that, most people will reciprocate, at least to some extent. Maybe it's cuz we live in such an impersonal world, or becuz so many people choose to be "bizzy," our cultural favorite excuse for avoiding in-depth involvement and relationships. But when we make real effort in conversation, showing genuine personal interest in those we're with, everybody benefits.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353465756013913758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-67883717075097263492007-02-02T08:15:00.000-08:002007-02-02T08:15:00.000-08:00These are great suggestions, Sandy.

This gives me a lot of things to talk about with people I don't really know.<br /><br />P.S. I "tagged" you.
