Life After I "Dew": Makin' It Work

Makin' It Work

First of all I want to say thanks to all of you lovelies for wishing me luck on my 24 hour no Internet ban! I would like to say I was successful, with the exception of checking my bank account this morning. I wrote my TT post early yesterday and had it scheduled to post this morning so those of you who thought I cheated, I did not! I must say I was really productive and it really made me realize that I don't need to have online access all the time. I feel great about myself now!

Now on to today's topic, how to make the most of a crappy situation. Most of you know (because I've mentioned a few hundred times) that Future Mr HoneyDew is back on 3rd shift (6pm-4am). This really stinks, I hate it. He comes home just as I'm getting up for the gym and he leaves right when I walk in the door from work. So we have both been trying to keep our love alive even when we don't see each other Monday-Thursday. Yesterday I got out a simple pad of Post-Its and a pen and left him messages all over the house so that when he woke up and started getting ready he'd stumble across them. He loved this. Here are my "love notes".

This one I left on the laptop screen so when he opened it to check his mail he saw this.

I had been bugging Future Mr to put up our smoke detectors in our upstairs and I came home Wednesday night and they were up. Granted I probably nagged him into doing it but I thought I'd let him know how happy it made me.

I drew this pic and slipped it into his book as his new bookmark. No need to tell me what a great artist I am, I already know.

I hid this one in his sock drawer, thinking he'd never find it but he did!

And this one I stuck on the TV, surely he didn't miss this one.

I joined the blog Love, Actually and there are some really great/cheap date ideas. I just love all the creative things we can do for one another that cost next to nothing. I have used some of the ideas on there but it also forced me to think of some creative ways to let my Future Mr know I love him to pieces.
