This is the best WW post I’ve seen so far tonight LOL!!!!!!!!!
-
Too funny! I always wanted a job writing those fortunes in cookies, when we were younger, my friends and I used to write a bunch down and stick them in our lunches!
-
OMG that is so funny!!!
-
BHAHAHAH that’s pretty funny!
-
That’s too funny!

Kas -
Is that a real fortune you received? I have got some weird ones, but that one tops them all.
-
*lol* That is funny!
-
LOL…that’s cute.
-
Yep, it was real. I never get one like that, usually it’s wise life quotes that are mispelled or something that doesn’t make sense. I couldn’t believe how funny this one was.
-
LOL Cute….
-
My husband would love to get this fortune!
-
That is TOO funny!
-
too funny!

Hahaha. But really, how is that a fortune? 😉

Chuckle. 🙂
New Meme Alert! I’ve been wanting to begin a Happy Marriage meme for a long time (for married women and men) and it’s the first meme I ever created, but I’m very excited about it. I feel a strong marriage is the basis of a strong family, and as anyone knows, marriage takes work. But […]
-
Okay I don’t think I have rolled my eyes at my husband yet. So I may be doing good for Monday. Maybe I’ll try to keep it up! Cute idea for a Meme. 🙂
-
wow. that first one is HARD all on its own! I started the love dare book a couple years ago and spent like 2 weeks trying to get day one (basically your #1) done RIGHT before I moved on accepting my best attempt at it. It’s sad but I’m such an eye roller and sarcastic, it comes out before I even think about it.
-
I’m an eye roller too. But at least I try to do it where he doesn’t see me ;(
-
Dear Penelope,
I love this. I’m not married, but I suppose this also applies to boyfriends too. Would love to hear about how you have taken the high road, resolved conflicts and what has helped make your home a happy and loving one. Keep up the good work my dear!
-
I ask this in genuine seriousness: Is number one even possible? Isn’t that like saying you cannot sin against your spouse for a whole day? Or am I reading more into the list? What if there is a disagreement or something that needs to be discussed and a disagreement ensues? Heated conversations, snappy responses can and do happen even when we don’t want them to.
I’m not sure if number one is realistic, but maybe I am being too skeptical?
-
Okay. This is a cute idea. I love idea of promoting happy healthy relationships. I will tweet this out for you so more can follow.
-
Number one is definitely possible, and surprisingly, gets very easy with practice. You get to a point where you wonder how you ever spoke to each other harshly (or if you never did, how other couples do).
There is no benefit to interaction in a nasty or negative manner. It’s just treating each other with the same respect and courtesy you showed each other when you started dating…you are kind to each other.
Obviously if a problem arises, you deal with it. I’m not talking about pretending there is no problem, or disagreeing. You don’t have to agree with everything, or refuse to discuss a problem. You just do so respectfully and in a positive manner (no name calling, sarcasm, or huffiness). You act like you have regard for each other’s opinions and feelings, kwim?
-
Fun and wonderful idea – I likely failed today – as we were traveling from visiting family over Easter weekend – 8 hours in the car…LOL
-
I’m following the rules so far! Can’t wait to read more next week!
-
How FUN! Mike and I arent married (we may get around to it one day, lol) but our “day” is Thursdays – we make a conscious effort to be extra sweet on Thursdays, and it is our weekly “date night” as well. I may add Monday in as well – two days would be a GOOD thing! 🙂 Subscribing now – looking forward to it!
-
This is a great meme! I’m looking forward to hearing your advice. I like to think my marriage is pretty close to perfect, but we can all use a little nudge every now and then to make things better. 🙂
-
I love this! So positive, right up my alley! I am divorced 🙁 BUT the divorce was hasty … we plan to remarry possibly on the same date that would have been our four year marriage anniversary (and five years together). Which is this May … something small like eloping. He has it planned (I THINK) but isn’t sharing the secret. I think we gave up too easily on each other. I am excited for this. It is easy to give up sometimes. We forget the reason we loved the person to begin with, start to focus on the negative and then that negative eats you up. I should have known better, negative energy can consume you and take you over in such a bad way. Positive energy is so much easier to deal with and helps you through situations like the year we spent ignoring each other instead of focusing on each other. (HUGS) can’t wait for this!
-
It’s true that we probably do roll our eyes or say something sarcastic more often than we should. Love this idea!
-
Ok you have me curious, but one week a month I’m not sure I can commit lol. I’ll look next Monday.
Kas -
Great idea!
-
I LOVE that you guys are giving it a second chance! I love to hear things like that 🙂 If you loved each other, it’s so sad to lose it.
-
You know, this blog post makes me kind of sad. I know I’m not perfect, and no marriage is perfect, but being kind, respectful and generous with your spouse shouldn’t be so unusual that there has to be a reminder to do it once-a-week. It seems outrageous to me. Are people really treating their spouses so critically and purposely withholding affection? Why would anyone do that?
Wait, I reread what I wrote and I get that it sounds judgmental. It’s not meant to be. I just don’t know why we’re not *always* nicer to the people we love the most.
If you enjoyed our post on fat burning foods, you’re in luck, because there are more healthy foods to lose weight! Eating fat burning foods help you lose weight just by eating them because the energy required to metabolize them is higher than the calories they supply- so you are eating to lose weight! These […]
-
I knew about soup and grapefruit, but the others are new to me. I’m going to start adding cinnamon! I love it anyhow. 🙂
-
I love using balsamic vinegar as salad dressing! I definitely need to start buying these foods so I can tone up for my vacation next month! (Are you combining your blogs?)
-
Yep, it was too hard to have two. I didn’t have any time to write posts for the other one, so am just going to close it down. Ah well 🙂 It was worth a try.
-
I love grapefuit, I love pears and I LOVE vinegar!!
-
I had just heard about cinnamon from my yoga instructor – I need to start adding it!
-
Love cinnamon and pears! We also do cayenne pepper which is suppose to speed up metabolism to lose weight!
-
LOL – I just saw that on Dr. Oz this week. Gonna go get me some PEARS!
-
Thanks for sharing. I love Tofu!
-
All things I enjoy! Especially tofu in miso – so there’s a two-for right there!
-
I loved your first post! So glad you did a second! But ugh I hate grapefruit. Love pears though.
-
Great list! I eat a 1/2 cup healthy soup almost daily with lunchl
-
Hiya,
Good list Penelope though I’d like to kindly add a good one I always recommend: celery sticks!
They are composed of pretty much water and fiber. Since you have to chew them so much, you get some calories burned from both the chewing and the digestion of the fiber. On top of that, chewing celery sticks can help satisfy hunger pans and fill the stomach (remember to drink plenty of water). Likewise, fiber in the right moment and place, can help in not absorbing the full fat content of a meal (thus saving more calories in the caloric balance of a meal/day). Celery sticks are that useful!
This is a small trick I have used and recommend to my readers which gets a few more calories burned for those intending to maximize their fat loss efforts.
All the best.
Rogelio

These are some great foods that are not only delicious and nutritious but they can help you in your weight loss efforts. Grapefruit is a good one!
-
What is a good salad dressing to use that is good to use to help lose weight?
-
A light vinaigrette is good, with a touch of lemon. Vinegar and lemon both help suppress your appetite and reduce fat absorption to an extent as well.
-
I didn’t know tofu helped with water retention! Noted!
I love the BBC, and my husband loves the Discovery Channel, so I was really excited about the Discover Channel Human Planet dvds, a new series by the creators of Planet Earth that is co-produced with BBC and premieres on the Discovery Channel April 24th at 8pm. It’s educational, family friendly, and incredibly fascinating. I […]
-
Sounds like something I’d like. Thanks for sharing.
-
Definitely sounds interesting. It must border on embarrassing/disappointing/frustrating for the young men to wait a year to dance again. It is amazing how different cultures do things.
-
This looks very well done – I just got a copy in the mail the other day to review, but won’t get to it until next week – I’m excited to see it after watching the trailers you posted – this will be great for use in our home school
-
This looks amazing. I guess I know what I’ll be doing Sunday evening.
-
This looks AMAZING — my husband and I love watching documentaries like this. Sigh, I wish the Discovery Channel was part of our cable package!
-
I have heard of this show, haven’t watched it because I rarely get TV time but I may have to try to catch it. Sounds great!
-
I loved Planet Earth another Discovery/BBC collaboration and this one sounds just as interesting! I’ll have to check this out!
-
It sure is an amazing world we love in. How have I not seen this before?
-
It sure is an amazing world we live in. How have I not seen this before?
-
this looks amazing! I know I can always count on the BBC to produce high quality content that is also very educational. Thanks Penelope!
-
There is so much of the worold I will never see!! Thanks for sharing:)
-
looks really cool
Such a great looking couple, that’s for sure!
such a beautiful couple!
I thought the same thing that his mother would be proud. They are a good looking couple and from what I have seen of the clips and photos, their wedding was beautiful. My oldest daughter loves her wedding dress.
They are just so beautiful!!!!
They are a stunning young couple. My hope would be that they have a far happier marriage than William’s parents did.
Okay – I’m a bit out of the loop, and haven’t followed any of this – from the first picture…I assume she did some modeling?
Yep, he fell for her watching her model.
Such a nice looking couple!!!
I can’t say I watched the wedding. I can’t even say that I was overly interested in it. But they are a gorgeous couple and I hope they are happy together!
They are such a wonderful couple! I love them. Stumbled. 🙂
