6 | Julie

9 | Renee
I’m with Julie!
Plan an entire evening out without any input or help from me! Not even the initiating of said date!!!! LOL

Hey at least I made dinner last night ! (and had a glass of wine poured for you when you came in the door)
I’ll make a deal with you, I’ll wash the greasy frying pan and you scrub the burnt milk from the bottom of the pot that you made the pudding in.
:)

13 | Scattered Mom
Would follow directions (he didn’t recently and the results are posted on my blog…)

Surprise me with a Bouquet of flowers and a card that said We are leaving for the bahamas and the kids are looked after and You don’t need to pack….;)
HEY Mark cuts Grass? I do that here.
At least does some dishes. I end doing mine most of the time, and the cleaning, and the laundry, and the dusting,…. What did I do WRONG?

Great question.
He would surprise me and stop at a garage sale we were passing, without my begging (or even asking, because I’ve given up and don’t ask anymore) – and praise me for my good taste (good finds) and thrift.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
