What not to do..

When your hubby works a 12 hour day.

Don't make his favorite soup for the first time, from scratch. (Thanks Padre for the delicious recipe!)
Don't warm his core with fresh off the stove, creamy goodness.
Don't fill his belly full of hearty potatos. And toast.

Why?
Because then you will most likely be sitting alone at 8:38 at night while he sleeps soundly in bed upstairs.

Upside?
Full control over the remote! Score!

And by don't I mean do, because the satisfied look on his face as he sips (very manly sips of course) your dinner and relaxes, is worth not really getting to hang out with the love of your life. As long as it doesn't become common.
