Observations in Haley's World

My husband has recently told me that in the near future, he's going to give me a week dedicated to fulfilling my every wish and desire - no matter how mundane or extravagant.  Now I know, some women think that every day should be like that...but c'mon...we're living in the 21st century and by and large, us ladies can take care of ourselves these days without needing our husbands to do everything for us, right?  In the real worrld...not many relationships (healthy ones, anyway) can last forever that way.
