1. Taping something important they need to see to the garage door.
2. Leaving an Evite that was sent to you open on the home computer in hopes that your spouse will, one, see it, and, two, actually read it.
3. Make sighing noises whenever your spouse is around in hopes that they will read your mind and know what you want them to do.
4. Nag.
What have I left off?

The kiss or the handshake?
As you may or may not remember, my husband MBM works with people from all over the world. Mexico, Argentina, Columbia, Switzerland, France, Germany, South Africa, etc.
Today, we had about 15 of his co-workers over. Several Americans (though not all from Kentucky) and several from Switzerland and France.
Here's the question: do you shake hands or do the cheek-to-cheek kiss? I didn't do so well this time. But I think I'm going to need to know this for future work-related events.
If I have NEVER met the person before, what do I do? At the beginning? And then at the end?

Eeeek!
MBM is finally home from all his travels. He really went all over this time -- Portugal (I actually asked the question, "What do they speak in Portugal?" Not my smartest moment ever), Spain, England, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and I think there's another country that I'm leaving out.
Of course, while he's gone, I have no choice but to adapt to "single" life or go crazy. So much thanks go to HG, KA, DK, MB, MS and a few others who didn't let me just sit at home in front of the TV and pack on another extra 20 pounds that I don't need.
The problem with that, though, is you get use to being "single". Bed all to yourself, no one using up all the hot water before your shower, and you actually get to control the remote control. I know. Crazy.
But now, two months later, you have to get use to be married again. It's kinda weird at first, to be honest. Stretching out in bed at night, when you hit somebody beside you in the head (who, luckily, is a very sound sleeper and won't even get their butt to the basement when there is a tornado!), scream "Eeeek!" you remember that your husband is actually home.
