I'm me, nice to meet ya!

Yesterday, I took my car to Toyota to be serviced. I joined a very quiet room, TV off with one older married couple, in their 60s I imagine. Two other older women were in the room as well quietly reading to themselves. I sat down and was enjoying the silence while I sipped on a refreshment. I love observing people while I am out and about, although this group did seem pretty dull, giggles.

A few moments passed and a man entered the room to let the older couple know what needed to be done to their vehicle and the cost, the husband gave him the go ahead and the man headed out of the room back into the garage. The husband looked over to his wife calm and politely asked her, "Do you want me to ask about the fog lights?" No response from the wife, who stared out the window. The husband asked again, "Do you want me to ask about the fog lights? They could order the parts now." Again, no response from his wife. The husband went on to explain that the weather was getting bad, that is was foggy out and that she needed new fog lights. The wife seemed to not care in the slightest and it looked as if she was not even acknowledging that her husband was speaking. The poor husband asked once more, "they could order the parts now and get fixed by next week for $400 and I wouldn't need to fool around with it myself" The wife turned to him and said so sternly and rudely, "I DON'T CARE!!" The husband stayed quiet for a few moments probably taken back with the rude response and politely asked again, "Are you sure? It needs to get done." once more the wife responded with, "I DON'T CARE!!"

I felt so bad for the husband and I just didn't even understand what the wife's issue was??

Then I started thinking about myself and how I too sometimes act like that to my fiance. For absolutely no reason at all I will be rude, snippy, BITCHY, cold and unpleasant. =( I am not sure why it is that this occurs, but I not only admit that I do it, but I witness many women I know do the same thing.

Sigh...

I am going to try something new starting today:

1) Tell my fiance one something NICE, either about him or maybe something he has done for me.
2) Hold hands walking about
3) Give a kiss first
4) Be RESPECTFUL and CONSIDERATE to him, after all he is a human being, not my slave
5) Say, I love you not only first but more often

and.... to remember that tomorrow is not GUARANTEED, and do I really want the last moment with someone I love to be a cold, mean bitter one?
