"Sweet Tattoo Honey!" 15 and a Half Roma

Let's face it guys, love is like a roller coaster rather you like it or not. As much as we'd like our relationships to be happy all the time it's not going to happen. Sometimes we feel like the relationship is stuck and we're trapped in a boring circle. We ask ourselves, "What should I do to stir things up a bit and 'spice up' the relationship?"
Taking her a gift as a surprise just might do the trick. Taking her gifts all the time would get old,New Jersey Devils, but spontaneously bringing her a gift could ricochet a staggering relationship towards a happier direction. And there's no better time to take her gifts then when she least expects it, especially after moments she's done something of which she's proud.
Your impeccable timing to present her a gift will increase her happiness. She expects gifts for Valentine's Day and her Birthday, but certainly not for the moments from the list further down! I know you all have learned that women like to be rewarded for making good decisions or for something they've achieved. That's why they ask us how the new shoes she just bought look on her or if we like her new wardrobe that she's going to wear for the interview. Noticing those special moments is priceless.
Reward her for something you like or something she's happy about that she did. Congratulate her for an achievement or accomplishment. Wish her luck on something she's excited about. Or show her how proud you are of her for overcoming a challenge in her life. For these special moments find unique, simple gifts that delightfully surprise her and make her swell with joy. If you get flowers don't just get ordinary roses, get something unusual and bright, a bouquet with yellows, oranges and purple. I do love taking her flowers, but I also I love sweets. Girls love when guys are vulnerable and there's no better way to show your soft, lovable side than to step into the kitchen and make her a sweet.
Try something easy like heart-shaped sugar cookies or choose from some easy recipes for chocolate dipped strawberries. I know for some men this is not a very "manly" thing to do. And no I'm not going to suggest you become a pansy and join Mary Kay to learn about all the latest new make-ups. It just takes one simple recipe to learn and she'll definitely be glad you did. And as for the special occasions here is a short list to start with.

4. No apologies please.Some actors seem to think they are among royalty when in an audition and apologize for everything they do if it's not perfect. That implies the wrong mindset in the audition. While it's nice to apologize, in an audition it indicates that you aren't totally involved in what you are doing...just focus on what you are doing, not how it's affecting the audience. You don't know how they feel about you. They might love your energy and everything about you but when you apologize you are pointing out that you think you did something wrong, so unless you fart in their faces or knock over the lights or camera, there's nothing in an audition to apologize for. I would say the one exception is if you are working on another job and don't have the time to get your lines down, you might want to apologize for that to manage their expectations a bit...but I'm not even sure that's a good thing.
Prepared or not, apologizing to them is the same as making an excuse for yourself. If you are apologizing to the room before you perform, you are basically saying, "Sorry I suck" before you even speak a word. If you start out thinking you are going to suck...do the math...not much chance for success in that environment.5. Casting is rooting against you.Maybe because auditions are so hard to come by and there's a certain distance maintained between casting and actors, actors often get the idea that casting directors are in some way rooting for them to fail. Nothing could be more false. Casting has made a big decision in allowing you to fill one of the few spots available for each role. They are putting their reputation on the line with their bosses, the producers. They want you to validate that they have made a good choice.
