When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie... That's amore

We went to see the movie Date Night last night...it was funny!!!  There was a reoccurring theme in the movie... he never closed a drawer and she let it all out about the day to day things that are done around the house.  In this house, that also seems to be a reoccurring theme :)  Why is it that we are always closing drawers/doors, picking up clothes and tidying all of the time... because we care!!! I feel that this house and its appearance is a good representation of my"self"... ourselves.  I feel that often there is a fine line between being a maid and being "CEO" and that fine line is you don't get paid and you don't get to leave :) All kidding aside, the fine line is pride, maturity and getting respect from your partner.  After all, if he treats you like a maid then you probably are... "perception is reality."  I am proud of the CEO of his business and the roof that he puts over our head.  I want people to feel comfortable and be in a clean environment when they visit... we are all grown up and don't live "frat house" style anymore.    Respect and appreciation from your partner makes you feel great... similar to positive reinforcement you get from coworkers or your boss.  However there always seems to be some left field comment the CEO of his business can come up with like "Why did you use my brush and not put it back?"... Ummmm hello "why do you use everything in the house and not put it back?"  Some may say we are OCD but I am not sure why we need to make everything a disorder or disease... why can't we just be clean, organized and proud of what we have big or small.   In the movie another couple was shown in living a completely different lifestyle arguing about the same stuff.  My friend once said "We have similar emotions just different lives."  It always seems that there is a "breadwinner" and a "homemaker" one from Mercury the other from Pluto.  "Agreeing to disagree" and "meeting in the middle" are very much terms to live by when you are with another individual who will not always have the same views, perspectives and/or opinions and that is OK!!! If we all thought the same way life would be boring.  This goes for friends too... there will sometimes be arguments but with a little compromise and respect... the love is there no matter what.  
THAT'S AMORE!!!!  

Have a beautiful day
