The Challenge

First of all, for all male readers who are interested in manning up, may I suggest a blog for your reading pleasure: TheArtofManliness.com The Art of Manliness has been a personal favorite of mine for quite some time now and when I came across this particular post, I had the sudden urge to take on the challenge.

So last night, while all was quiet in the house, I set about putting my plan into action. Let it be known that I did this on a whim, so it could have been better; even so, under such short notice, I think that it worked out pretty good - if I do say so myself.

In taking on this challenge, I purposed that I was not going to settle for the ordinary; I decided that I was going to get my love across to her using unconventional methods.

Here is my first attempt at telling her that I love her.


If you can't tell, that's an egg carton, and the phrase, "I Love You," is spelled out on the eggs using a dry erase marker. After creating this masterpiece, I placed the closed carton back in the refrigerator, where it would sit till later this morning.

While I was mocking this up, the thought occurred to me that I shouldn't stop there; but, rather, I should press on and throw a love letter into the mix. I immediately liked the idea, so I rushed back upstairs and hurriedly printed off a sheet of romantic stationary.

Knowing that she would eventually get up in the middle of the night to fill CJ's bottle, I set the letter out on the kitchen table in such a way that she would have no way but to see it... Check it out for yourself.


As I figured, she had no problem whatsoever in locating the first note; and due to an oh-so-subtle hint within the note, she was able to find the second note as well.

Not bad for one night's work, eh?!
