I approached Nester's challenge much like I approach any task or project at work. I grabbed a spiral notebook and a pen and started a brainstorming session. Because I had already done some thinking about what topic I wanted to cover, I already had some ideas about what I wanted to accomplish during this challenge.
That's really the first step. Ask yourself what you want to accomplish. Then figure out how you are going to accomplish it. Set goals. And make sure they are SMART.
S - I want to seduce my guy.
M - I will measure his reactions using the following scale:
A - He's a guy, of course anything I come up with is attainable. Right?!
R - Keep the focus on HIM or US. Make it relevant.
T - I have thirty-one days to knock his socks off. And I am taking it one day at a time.
So why do I want to seduce my guy, you ask?
The husband is my best friend. I've lived with him as long as I lived with my own parents. That feels huge to me, I'm only 35, people. The husband and I met shortly before our 17th birthdays and we were married shortly after we turned 18. We grew up together and we grew comfortable together.
We are still VERY much in love. I think we have a fantastic relationship. We are friends first and foremost, always. Even after all these years, there is still PASSION in our marriage. There is. But above all that, there is the ordinary. The same stuff that happens, day-after-day. It's part of life, I get that.
Because the husband and I are so comfortable around each other, I take so much for granted. Maybe we both do. I will have to ask him. The bathroom door? Lucky if it ever gets shut. Pajamas? Boring. Pasta? Again?!
The guy loves me for who I am, without a doubt. But, I want him to know how much I love him by changing things up a little. Working a little harder for his attention. He's not complained at all, which is a bonus. He's not straying (I assure you, in case it crossed your mind). This is nothing serious like that. The purpose behind this challenge is to re-energize what we have. Make things better than they are. And they are damn good, so this will definitely be a challenge.
The next 30 days is just a testament to how much I love and adore my husband. And how much I want him to feel loved and adored.
I am going to be open and honest. I am going to share his responses (where I can). ;) And I am going to try to find what works, what I can keep up with and what I should never have thought of. Because I am sure there will be some of those moments during the next month or so. :D
I have 30 more days full of ideas, some where I focus on myself to offer to him. (Does that make sense?!) And some ideas that are focused on the family, to make things better at home. And some ideas that are 100% focused on my dreamboat. Or, in case Usher is not available, I will focus on Marcos.
I kid. I kid.
Stay tuned.
