"In Pursuit of Happiness"

Yup, I stole my title from the movie. Last post was a song, now a movie. I will be original one day, but not today.

I am going to tie Tuesday's challenge in with today's. That one was about captivating my husband. I need to be able to do this before I can pursue him. I have been working on a few things that I think will help. One of the main ones is to get dressed, fully, before he gets home from work. It was a little easier to do during the summer months, but in the winter I would wear my sweats all day with my big fluffy slippers. I can step it up, by putting on a pair of jeans and some shoes or sneakers.

The way I look is important when he gets home. Not just the way I look, but the kids should be well kept, too. I know it's October, but no scary movies aloud.

I have also let myself go, physically. I can't even blame it on having the kids. Things had started going south before them. Now, I am jogging three times a week to whip my body back into shape. This all started with Zumba classes over the summer. It was so much fun, that I want to get certified, but am in no shape to do it just yet. I am doing this for me first, but he will reap the benefits.

I have heard that me are very visual, so these are two things that I am working on to captivate my husband.

As I get closer to these goals, it builds my confidence. I have never been one to pursue a man. It was always the other way around. Even being married, this is the mindset that I grew up with. In my culture, going after a man, was thought of as being "loose."

This is going to be something that is going to take some time getting used to. Yeah, I do believe men are after one ultimate goal and they have no feelings. I even read somewhere that women may feel superior because they have more control over their hormones. I have never really thought that, but I sure have acted that way.

I want nothing in the world, but to make my husband happy. I plan on taking some action in pursuing him a little more often.
