We start off the week by getting rid of one piece of “comfortable” clothing. You know the one – it could be the pair of sweats, some comfy slippers, or a college sweatshirt. Your husband may not even notice that you have done away with it. The point is you are taking another step towards thinking about him when getting dressed, instead of going to those sad, sad, jammie bottoms once again.
Prayer for Today Dear God, make me focus on actions that change my attitude, instead of trying to change my husband.
Getting Creative Just get rid of it. That’s all. You know what “it” is. For me, it was my pair of brown, cropped sweatpants that I thought were perfectly acceptable…but my husband would ask, “Do you want time to change before we leave?” even if we were just going to pick up a carton of milk. I got the hint.
- What do your slippers look like? If they’re the pair you had in college, time to walk them out the door.
- For one of my friends, it was a hair scrunchie that was seeing a little too much time outside of the house. (There was a bonus here because a number of her friends were about to have a scrunchie intervention. This project kept her out of a scrunchie 12-Step Program.)
Your Project: Get rid of one item of clothing you know your husband is not in love with. If it’s a favorite that you’ll have a hard time parting with, go ahead and purchase a replacement you know your guy will like.
My husband travels..so when he is able to work from home…We enjoy having lunch together…so the sweet little matching undergarments…always add a little something to “our dessert” time..
What a fun project! I went to Gilroy Outlets where I found 2 huge stores of lingerie at great prices. I bought a very elegant white nightgown and a very flirty fun floral hot pink set. So NOT me!!! (I normally wear my running clothes to bed – pathetic, I know but very practical!)
Hubby is traveling this week but I’m looking forward to his reaction upon his return *smile*
Great Ideal!!I’ve came across as I’ve gotten rid of all the comfy sweats. I have nothing cute to wear… So I dropped a little note for my husband that there is this great web site he should check out for valentines day. Its Pajama gram.com Its a win win situation. He gets to pick out something that he would love to see me in and I get a gift!!! I think he loved the ideal!!!
I threw out an old tshirt I loved to wear to bed – an old favorite with Troy Aikman on it. Aaahh. Anyhow, I took some comments my husband had said to me to heart and now go to bed with (gasp!) nothing on! I thought it would be an open invitation for sex all the time, but it hasn’t been. But, boy, is he a happy man! He gets to look all he wants and men are really visual beings. For his part, he got me an electric blanket which he turns on before I get into bed, which is so cozy. And, hey, I get to wear that beautiful robe I have. Everybody wins.
I’m gonna start wearing my hair down!! I always wear it up, he loves it down.
For this one I am taking more of an effort to look better when he gets home. He has not noticed but I feel better. 🙂
