Mars and Venus at the Grocery Store

One of my favorite parts of being in a relationship is how K teaches me about myself and how I learn to be a better me.  I love the compromise and the teamwork that goes into our life as a couple. I love that we support and help eachother, and come out stronger as a pair! 

As a woman, I'd say that sometimes I try to 'do it all' and struggle to relinquish control.

It's hard to ask for favors!

There have been several times over the past 3 years where I have asked K, or he has volunteered, to do the grocery shopping for me when I'm crunched for time.

It's a wonderful gesture that I appreciate with all my heart! 

But it's lead me to conclusions regarding men and the grocery store.

I treasure the fact that K is willing to help me, and so I resist growing frustrated if said help is not exactly what I wanted.  But y'all, Mars and Venus!

An example:
 I'm making Velveeta sausage dip for a tailgate, and I'm running late trying to get ready at the same time.  K volunteers to pick up what I need at the store.  I explain what I need, and he comes back with a bag of shredded cheddar and some kielbasa.  Um, thanks babe?

But I have found the solution!

It's all in the list.

I have mastered the art of detailed listing.

Exhibit A:

This is a typical weekly shopping list for me.

Exhibit B:

A list I'd send with K: 

It's all about the details!

You know guys will just grab the first thing they see,
so specifics are key.

I want to hear your Mars and Venus moments!

And how you conquer the universe between.
