HATE.

It’s very cold and negative. Please try not to use it around me! He he…

I only tolerate positive energy!! Of course – everyone is allowed the “odd” 24 hour pity party – but that’s it. No more than that.

Where am I going with this? Many of you wonder just how I stay so positive – one secret is that I keep my energy level as high as I can by using the term “Don’t Prefer” instead of the “H” word.

Today – I was reminded of one of my “Don’t Prefer” things. I read my brother-in-love, Craig’s Facebook status and it amused me! He is one of the funniest guys I know - his status updates and humor can make your day. I’ll share in a minute what he said - but first a bit of background information.

When I married my amazing man – it became apparent that I would need to learn more about men very quickly.

Rule 1 in our home.Put BOTH parts of the toilet seat must be left down. That is at the “equal” state. If both are left up – it favors John. If one part of the seat is left down, it favors me.

When you’re a woman – you observe different parts of the toilet and how dirty they can become! I tend to notice the leftover liquid marks in front of the toilet on the tile – my blood pressure used to raise quite a bit. I question – why don’t men use toilet paper for #1? I try to recall when the last time I mentioned this “don’t prefer” topic with him.

Well…I learned a bit more about men today – with Craig’s Facebook status:

“No matter how much you dance or how much you prance the last drop always ends up in your pants.”

OR when you have a master ensuite - there aren’t always pants worn to absorb that. Lovely…

My solution for the future - leave a mop in the bathroom? install a different color of tile in our next home!? Stop looking down?

The purpose of my blog post – to share another snippet of how I think. I always look for the positive, laughter, and excitement in every situation. Many times – there is no point in getting upset or requesting multiple times for improvement. Lots of things are just going to happen. “Patients” is a virtue!

To my non-married friends – don’t let this scare you. Surprising, as a women we bring a lot more to the table for the guys to conform to then we end up putting up with!

Happy Day,
Robyn

One of my least favorite words is the “H” word.
