Leav97 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Is it sad that I'm having a hard time imagining what to put in ~72 squares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Only works if you don't have a child co-sleeping with you. Also, that look like playing the game would take time. You know as in foreplay stuff. Yeah, no time for that in my house. It was either Jeff Foxworthy or Bill Engall who said you don't truly understand what a quickie until you become a parent. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 How ADORABLE!!! Dh would LOVE that! If I do it, I certainly hope I have enough brain power to fill the squares. Maybe I'll do a mosaic instead and have fewer squares? Or some larger ones with notes of love inside. AWESOME idea!!!:thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 If you use a bigger shape, you won't have as many squares. Not that I would know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Okay, this is so happening. Maybe not as ... intricate as this, but what a fun idea! It's just the motivation I need to add a little zing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Something simpler that we just did recently was Every Night for 1 Week (uh, marathon for us? LOL) and first we each separately wrote down on cards some things we wanted to do/try, etc. ahem--not just naming a TeA act, kwim? Then, every evening we drew 1 or 2 cards and that was the plan for the night! LOL We didn't draw the card RIGHT before bed so that we had time for any, uh, prep. I thought it was fun to anticipate that every single night we'd have the same agenda. LOL We didn't get tired of it at all and we tend to laugh a lot (at our selves) anyhow! It was nice to make THAT a priority and to learn a little more about what one another likes. :D I got some naughty ideas from Cosmo--where else??

hthnmamax2 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That looks like it could be fun! :D One time many years ago, DH was coming home from a one month deployment. He said not to worry about picking him up because he'd have a co-worker drop him off. Which I though was great because it gave me the opportunity to do something that I'd read - cover the personal bits in post-it notes with hearts drawn on them so they he could uncover his heart's desire and greet him wearing nothing but the notes. When he called from the ship to let me know he was on his way home, I knew it would be about 20 minutes so I, ahem, "prepped" everything. I heard the front door open and DH called my name. I walked down the stairs wearing nothing but post-it notes over my personal lady bits to greet my husband-who had invited his friend from the ship and his wife in to meet me!!!!! :blushing::blushing::blushing: To this day I still do not know their names or remember what they looked like. I think I have it blocked out just in case we are ever stationed with them again. And - DH is now required to let me know ahead of time if he'll be inviting someone to the house.
