Sing

... in the shower, the car--wherever you want--just sing it like you're center stage on American Idol for the big win. No wimpy stuff. If it doesn't annoy your kids, it's not loud enough.

Which songs reverberate nicely off your shower walls? Any that always lift your mood? Or get you rockin' so you don't notice the guy staring at you at the stop light? Extra points to any carpoolers.

Give

... the gift of a Star Trek novel and hand-dipped chocolates. Okay, maybe not that exactly, but something that shows you put more thought into what your loved one would want than what you would like to give. As a sci-fi adverse, "practicality is king" woman, I find gifting the aforementioned to my hubby is not easy. In fact, $20 for chocolate just feels wrong when there are perfectly good $.59 candy bars at the gas station down the street. But, I know he would like them. So, the verb this week is give ... in any form ... without expectation, with altruism. Try it and share your results.

Oh, and don't forget to come back next week to pick up our next verb.
