It's not the greatest ice cream cake but a GREAT sweet treat after dinner without having to feel guilty. The no artificial sweeteners thing really makes me happy because I actually do eat a lot of artificial sweeteners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-145029 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:29:12 +0000 mrbee 145029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I'm suspicious of that cake. Please report back after you've had a slice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-145021 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:25:14 +0000 MamaMoose 145021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: mmmm I love Tasti D. The absolute best is peanut butter and jelly swirl (pb and strawberry soft serve swirled together) with chocolate sprinkles!! When they put one in here in Nashville I was soooo excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-145016 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:22:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 145016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hehe!</p> <p><a href="http://www.tastidlite.com/index.php/tasti-treats/take-home-menu.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tastidlite.com/index.php/tasti-treats/take-home-menu.html</a></p> <p>Ok I went a little too fast on the health stuff. It's LOW carb, LOW calorie, LOW fat, NON dairy, NO artificial sweeteners. </p> <p>The cake is good but not as good as the soft serve stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-145008 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:18:40 +0000 mrbee 145008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Wait a second, not so fast!!</p> <p>Tell me more about this ice cream cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-145000 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:13:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 145000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is so adorable. I'm going to go back to it and read through to give me warm fuzzies when I need them :)</p> <p>I'm afraid most of mine will be from Wagon Sr. to me... I have been in a bit of a mood lately :( </p> <p>Going backwards:<br /> 1. We had a good chat about looking for a future home (decided that we need to open up to the possibility of a nice home with a small yard, instead of making a large yard a must-have).<br /> 2. After we part each morning (after we drive in to work together) he always texts me something really nice. Even though it's his routine and could be seen as forced, it always makes my day start out really nicely.<br /> 3. He said he liked my outfit and that I looked beautiful today.<br /> 4. During my weekend away he cleaned the entire house (!!!) and ran the laundry and dishwasher. He said he had to remember to empty it two nights ago, but I emptied it for him last night while doing the dishes and packing Wagon Jr.'s lunch.<br /> 5. This is actually going way back to the weekend, but it's a biggie, so I'll do it as my last one: not only did he clean the entire house (including tidying up messy areas and vacuuming the upstairs, and doing his own laundry so he wouldn't risk ruining mine or Wagon Jr.'s) but he took pics of himself and Wagon Jr. and posted signs all over for me to find, and posted a "welcome home mommy" banner over our bed, and left my favorite lunch in the mini fridge upstairs. He also visited the new Tasti D Lite in the city (the first one in Boston!!) and bought me an ice cream cake, which is great because it has no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, and is low calorie so it's very GD friendly (in case I have it!!).</p> <p>Ok he just annoyed me over IM so I don't feel like posting this anymore, but I'll just hit submit. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-144978 Wed, 02 May 2012 13:56:04 +0000 HLK208 144978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine start from the beginning of the week but here it goes:<br /> 1. I've been really weepy and kind down in the dumps so DH came home with a bouquet of flowers and yummy cupcakes from our favorite bakery after he worked all Sunday<br /> 2. We got some scary news about a possible induction and DH looked up and called about Saturday's birthing class<br /> 3. He downloaded an e-book about being a birthing coach lol (it was a big deal to me!)<br /> 4. I made him dinner for work last night<br /> 5. I've kept the house extremely quiet while he sleeps (he worked night's) and while entertaining DS<br /> 6. That song by Jason Mraz, "I won't give up on us" well DH calls it our song and I can't help but to feel good every time it comes on the radio<br /> 7. I always record Jeopardy since DH has been working night shift and after he wakes up in the afternoon we'll cuddle on the couch and play along while DS naps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-144740 Wed, 02 May 2012 10:53:21 +0000 mediagirl 144740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Giggling over what's for dinner last night.<br /> 2. Agreeing that we'll wait until at least until 2013 to buy a new car.<br /> 3. Making up new words to song lyrics.<br /> 4. He took the dog to the special vet (dermatologist) yesterday and neither of us complained about the outrageous bill, agreeing that it's better our dog feels better than to be upset about it.<br /> 5. He called me Mommy when I was setting up some stuff in the nursery last night. That made me grin from ear to ear. :)<br /> 6. He emptied the dishwasher for me, again.<br /> 7. I made his favorite pasta dish for lunch and he was very thankful to me for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-144736 Wed, 02 May 2012 10:41:58 +0000 owlwho 144736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh, everyday he finds someway to make me laugh.<br /> 1. The last txt I received was about an inside joke we have going.<br /> 2. He makes dinner and has it on the table when I get home with LO.<br /> 3. Took care of the cat hairball on the floor this morning before he left- he actually takes care of all cat duties. phew!<br /> 4. Gasses up the cars and does grocery shopping when I'm putting LO to bed.<br /> 5. It's so silly, but I still like the way he holds doors open for me. It's such a small, sweet gesture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-144122 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:48:55 +0000 MegWag 144122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In order from most recent:<br /> 1.He gave me a kiss before going to take a bath.<br /> 2.He made dinner for us while I was feeding our son.<br /> 3.He came to meet us outside the front door when we came home from playgroup because he couldn't wait to see us.<br /> 4.He sent a text message asking if the baby had gotten the kisses he'd left for him when he went to work and telling him to share them with me.<br /> 5.We had family snuggles this morning before getting up.</p> <p>He's very good at showing me love and affection. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-144021 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:16:45 +0000 Crisark 144021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last Night:<br /> I asked him if we could watch Hockey...like on my own asked without him having to beg lol He was beyond excited.<br /> We also kiss each other before bed and say "I love you" and we do so in the morning before work as well. </p> <p>Today:<br /> He text me on his breaks at work to see how my day was going...this happens every day.<br /> I took the garbage out without him asking<br /> He finished the dishes for me even though it was my turn.<br /> Text me randomly "I love you". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-144012 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:12:18 +0000 littlebug 144012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Pretty much every day I cook dinner and he cleans up.<br /> -He cleans the litter box every day (used to be my job but now that we're TTC he does it)<br /> -Kissed goodbye in the morning when we left for work<br /> -He packed my lunch<br /> -I cleaned my hair off the bathroom floor when I finished blow-drying it (he's always complaining that my hair is all over the bathroom)<br /> -We exchanged emails about winning the HGTV Green Home and dreamed of the ways we would make it our own and play with our kids there<br /> -I cleaned out our big storage closet and consolidated things to make it more organized.<br /> -He got a fireproof box to put our important documents in (in our newly-organized closet) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143968 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:43:10 +0000 Alivoo01 143968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.

Texted me "good morning my love" around the time I wake up<br /> 4. Bought me a shirt bc he was getting himself one<br /> 5. Bought me cheesesticks on our drive home yesterday bc he knows how much I love them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143905 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:06:24 +0000 eeh 143905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the dishes which is usually his chore since I hate it.<br /> I made him homemade cinnamon rolls.<br /> Warmed up lunch and had it waiting for him when he got home.<br /> Bought a frame for his dresser for a picture of him and his grandpa.<br /> Agreed to eat at his favorite restaurant tonight even though I really don't like it. </p> <p>He gave the dog a bath.<br /> He dropped the dog off at the vet even though it meant sacrificing sleep since he knew it would make me cry (he had to have surgery today).<br /> Bought a life insurance policy so I would be taken care of if anything happens to him (just got the policy in the mail).<br /> We're going to register for baby tonight<br /> Dug up an area for me to plant flowers even after working all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143901 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:01:49 +0000 MamaMoose 143901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will go in reverse chronological order</p> <p>1. We had a funny email chain this morning about how convenient it is that our baby is currently the size of a lime and it's almost cinco de mayo and our baby will probably be a big fan of margarita's some day!<br /> 2. This morning he took out the trash bin out to the street and I called him on my way to work to thank him for doing it so I didn't have to.<br /> 3. He took care of the pup this morning so I could spend extra time in bed since he knew I hadn't been feeling great.<br /> 4. He was very understanding of the fact the because of money reasons and other commitments I can't fly home to MA with him for an upcoming wedding of one of his friends, even though I know he really wishes I could.<br /> 5. Last night we cooked his favorite dinner together and then he cleaned up since dirty dish smells tend to get to me lately. I then fell asleep on the couch and he got the bed made all nice and tidy for me.<br /> 6. I have been having a lot of hip/back pain. He's a former athlete and good at dealing with aches and pains so he stretched me out when he got home from work. I know that sounds dirty, it was not.<br /> 7. When I went to the grocery store last night I bought all the supplies to make him an apple pie (his fave dessert) sometime this week to thank him for being so awesome to me since I've been pregnant. He was very appreciative/psyched about this.<br /> 8. Before I went to the store we did some nice menu planning together. We are excited to be having a friend over for dinner tonight. She is preggers too and her husband is leaving today for 6 weeks to work on a contstruction project for his family and she's feeling pretty bummed.<br /> 9. Yesterday I called the water company to check on a payment that someone arrived late to them and got them to remove the late charges based on our stellar track record. Husband told me I am "his hero" for handling this.<br /> 10. Sunday evening we had a nice dinner together of take out pizza and talked about how much we missed each other while I was away in Chattanooga with some girl friends on Saturday and Saturday night.</p> <p>This doesn't include lots of smooches and hand holding and I love yous in there. And there were no negative interations I can think of during the time period in which all of these occured. We've been in a super good place lately : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143894 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:50:38 +0000 volksgirl64 143894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He suggested we go get ice cream for an after dinner treat because he knows how much I've been loving ice cream lately.<br /> He filled up my gas tank for me yesterday.<br /> I got ready in the bathroom instead of at my vanity so I wouldn't wake him up since he didn't have to get up this morning.<br /> He changed DD's poopy butt since I'm 37 weeks pregnant and didn't want to.<br /> He took my car in for service on his day off.<br /> I sent him a random text to tell him I love him and to have a good day off.<br /> I picked up DD from daycare and drove down to his work so we could have a dinner date and he could see us (he had to stay late and chaperone a dance).</p> <p>It's a little one sided lately since there aren't many "action" things I can do due to my big old belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143889 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:48:19 +0000 bushelandapeck 143889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. He came to the grocery store with me after work and then helped me make dinner<br /> 2. He always makes my coffee and puts my toast in the toaster oven while I'm finishing getting ready in the morning<br /> 3. He gave me the best back massage last night without even being asked, because he knew how much it's been bothering me<br /> 4. I offered to run some errands for him that he hasn't had time for due to his work schedule<br /> 5. We say "I love you" and kiss before bed and before work every day<br /> 6. I made him some tea after dinner and warmed up a heating pad for his lower back.<br /> 7. He called me yesterday to ask if I thought October was too soon after the baby comes (due in Aug) to take a work trip for two days<br /> 8. We snuggled on the couch and talked about the baby and how excited we are<br /> 9. I made him his favorite dinner because I knew he'd had a really rough few days at work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143834 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:16:17 +0000 Maysprout 143834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby's been teething this week so I've been a bit lacking on the sleep. Hubs has a HUGE presentation at the end of the week so I don't want him waking in the night. (Guess that's positive non-interaction?)<br /> Baby slept in a bit this morning so he snuck downstairs so not to wake me up.<br /> Came down stairs and he got a big kiss and thank you for being so quiet.<br /> He said he made me some coffee and had roasted up some more<br /> then some normal morning chit chat about plans for the day and baby<br /> Baby was ready for a nap when he was getting ready to go and the diapers had just finished washing so I asked him to hang them to dry so I could get her down and have a clean diaper for when she woke, which he said sure and even gave me a kiss so then I had to flirt with him.<br /> Then came up to let me know he was leaving and gave us both big kisses and said 'love my ladies' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143829 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:13:46 +0000 Mrs. Blue 143829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Called DH today at lunch and we talked about how much we can't wait to hang out tonight.<br /> 2. Told him I trust his judgement about our current housing connundrum.<br /> 3. We always say "I loved you" and to have a good day at work.<br /> 4. Snuggled on the couch last night watching TV together.<br /> 5. Does sex count as a positive interaction? I vote yes.<br /> 6. In the morning, I always tell our dog, "Be a good girl today." this morning, Mr. responded in a little girl voice, "Okay, Mommy, I will." It made me laugh.<br /> 7. Yesterday I made DH's lunch and we watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother during his lunch break. It's one of our favorite relaxing things to do together in the middle of the work day.<br /> 8. We visited and joked while we washed dishes last night. Chores are more bearable when we do them together.<br /> 9. DH carried in all the groceries even though I only had a few bags and could have done it myself.</p> <p>That was actually kind of hard to think of that many things. How embarrassing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143828 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:13:21 +0000 banana 143828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops.. forgot to list MY positive interactions!</p> <p>1. I recorded a NBA game last night even though he didnt' ask me to since the game was really close and I figured he'd want to watch it.<br /> 2. He put my son to bed last night and he wouldn't sleep right away so I snuck in there and offered to switch with him so that he can go watch TV.<br /> 3. I made him breakfast to go this morning because he was running late (normally he just eats at home)<br /> 4. I offered to do my son's night routine (he normally does it) so that he can watch the Lakers tonight on TV.<br /> 5. I offered to make him his favorite dinner because I would be home early today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143822 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:10:27 +0000 banana 143822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's see....</p> <p>1. He brought me a glass of water and left my prenatal vitamins next to my nightstand last night so that I didn't have to go downstairs to get them<br /> 2. He filled up my gas tank last night so that I wouldn't get exposed to the fumes<br /> 3. He emailed me this morning reminding me to get my prenatal massage (which he suggested)<br /> 4. He canceled lunch plans with his friend on Friday so that he can have lunch with me instead (yay!)<br /> 5. He complemented me on my figure this morning before going to work. He said "From the back, you don't even look pregnant at all". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143814 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:06:22 +0000 MaisyMay 143814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up the living room (a little) and put away the dishes this morning.<br /> He's working late in order to accomodate picking me up from a work meeting.<br /> He cleaned out a soda can that exploded in my car.<br /> I downloaded a few books on our ereader that I knew he wanted to read and haven't taken it over while he's been reading.<br /> He randomly bought me some books from a booksale.<br /> I played his first choice board game last night when I didn't really want to.<br /> He walks with me each evening.<br /> I usually make him a glass of ovaltine while he's showering and leave it on the bathroom counter for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143803 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:00:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 143803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm.. well we had a huge fight over the weekend. So these aren't totally normal behaviors, but I think partly DH trying to make it up! :)</p> <p>1 - he washed the tub sunday night for me to take an oatmeal bath (he didn't know I already washed it..lol)<br /> 2 - he texted me yesterday to tell me to have a good day &amp; that he loves me (I replied the same!)<br /> 3- he asked yesterday at dinnertime how I was feeling &amp; how my nausea has been<br /> 4 - he texted me this morning to check how my doctor's appt went<br /> 5 - i picked up some zyrtec for him without being asked because his allergies have gotten awful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143796 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:53:10 +0000 mrsjyw 143796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today? </p> <p>DH woke me up with a morning kiss (rare).<br /> We joked around and flirted getting ready for work (rare).<br /> Kiss and wished each other a good day before I left the house.<br /> I texted DH how's your day message.<br /> DH called during his lunch break to see how I was feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/list-your-last-5-10-positive-interactions-with-your-so#post-143792 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:49:29 +0000 mrbee 143792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it'd be great for all of us to see each others' positive interactions.... so we can get ideas how to be nicer to our SOs!</p> <p>Along those lines... would you guys be up for listing your last 5-10 positive interactions between you and your SO? They can be verbal, or non-verbal (a kiss or hug on the way out the door, a thoughtful text or email, etc.). </p>
