I fought instincts hard the other day to keep my favorite quote to one, so today I'm doing three.
Why?
Because I wanna. And sometimes you just gotta do what you want.
On Life--
When you're ready to really wake up, make the bed, open the blinds, and put on clothes.
Nothing says it's time for the day better.
On Marriage--
It's normal to have massive ups and downs in marriage, even just day to day.
There are days where all I can think is "You're really pissing me off," even though he's still asleep. Then there are days that are so blissful we gaze into each others' eyes, swearing up and down that we should always be this happy.
But we won't. And that's cool.
I'm pretty sure that as long as you can get back to that happy place more often than not you're golden.
(Though, my husband did request a full day of kind words, so maybe I'm not the best advisor...)
On Health--
If you ever have to use Monistat, go with 7 not 3.
Apparently this can prevent the burning hades from being your alarm clock.
**Advice is always fun. Head on over to Story of My Life to get some more!**
LIVE THE MURRAYED LIFE
Great pieces of advice :)
ReplyDeleteI died at the On health one!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can follow the second one.... I never do that, on days when I don't have to go out, I LIVE in my bed lol
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love the health advice. I will keep it close to my heart (and hope I never need to remember it!)
ReplyDeleteThis "If you ever have to use Monistat, go with 7 not 3." I have no idea what the means, none. apparently it's hysterical because Jillian died. you should probably email her and see if she's alive.
ReplyDeleteYou're a lucky soul, my friend. It's a language that you should try to avoid like the plague.
DeleteThey also make a 1 day! Stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing and shaking in fear at the same time. And the crock is they charge you MORE for it!!!!! I might have to go around leaving little notes of warning on boxes at stores for other unsuspecting ladies.
Deletehaha,
ReplyDeletei think you have 4 advices. sometimes you just gotta do what you want!
I love these! Such truth written in humor! And I love your expressive forehead...I have one, too!
ReplyDeleteIn my attempt to be an adult I have vowed to make the bed everyday, it's been quite the task. Also, if I decide to start a band can I please name it Forehead Canyons?
ReplyDeleteThe marriage thing is sooooo true!
ReplyDeleteLove this post -- witty yet GOOD advice :)
ReplyDelete"If you ever have to use Monistat, go with 7 not 3."
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Between this and pooping after baby, I'm starting to feel like you're going to be more honest than my own mother when the time comes. I'm taking notes!
Like Shay I am totally clueless on your piece or advice about health. Making my bed every morning was my New Years Resolution, I lasted until about February.
ReplyDeleteI actually found you through Shay's post. She had rave reviews and I love her ramblings, so I had to come check you out. She was right on. You're awesome! I can't wait to stalk, er, follow you and read more!! :)
ReplyDeleteim rubbish at the 1st one...i can sit in PJs all day. do i really have to get dressed? great marriage advice :)
ReplyDeleteI SO love your first piece of advice. Well, I love them all (no experience on #3 but I guess I'll gladly take your word for it!). But really, the days I wake up at 6AM with the baby, pass him off to daddy, shower and take the day head on in full dress, it's just so much more productive! I don't do it every day, but when I do there is a HUGE difference. ~ Melissa ~ Running Around for No Reason
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! I do love days when my bed is made and definitely love that natural lighting! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I read a few more of your posts and really appreciate your honesty! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazingly awesome. Thanks for the ridiculous laughs!!
ReplyDeleteForehead canyons - very funny! Your poor husband - pissing you off even as he lays there in sleepy oblivion. Mind you my wife probably has similar thoughts - usually when I've had the 'odd' glass of wine the night before and done something that she'll remind me about the minute I open a bleary eye.
ReplyDeletePS I hope you got my email the other day given I'm a no-reply commenter!
Love this Christina.... The health advice literally made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteThat happy place is where we try to live! I love your advice. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I looove the marriage advice....so true! Definitely something no on tells you before getting married!
ReplyDeleteLol..... first of all, that picture of you is perfection for this topic. Second of all, " There are days where all I can think is "You're really pissing me off," even though he's still asleep." YES. Just, yes.
ReplyDeleteMonistat... it's been a while since I had to use that. Hoping I won't have to take your advice again any time soon...
Glad you didn't limit it to just one piece of advice, because I loved all three- especially the second piece of advice. SO true! Visiting your blog and doing a little "return snooping." Thanks for visiting mine! I look forward to following along on your adventures. Oh, and before moving to Australia, I lived in Houston, but my hubby is from Austin- love it there! But I'm like you, I loved Houston (and Austin), but I will NEVER be a Texan :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny you mentioned your forehead canyons, because I just wrote a post about that. Great advice!
ReplyDeleteflexible face high five! So true about the morning advice.
ReplyDeleteYou are so witty!
