Happy President's Day! Or as I like to call it...Happy stay-at-home from work day :D (Yet, another Sweet blessing of teaching three year olds...you get to enjoy all those "holidays"!)
So back to my title..Secret Codes....there seems to be codes for everything...because our home is in the country (and we have never jumped onto the Dish TV boat) we have antenna TV. Which means now, by tomorrow, to be exact, we have to install a DTV converter box, or you know what the TV says will happen (We'd be just looking at a box :D) So, for once we actually were ahead of schedule and got our box installed a week ago. It was simple enough...except for this...you have to have the code to your TV remote to program in the DTV box...(or you have to use the remote that came with it..which is extremely SLOW) Mmmm...maybe that's a good thing, since I've noticed MR. PPRM isn't flipping from channel to channel with it?!?!? So, do you think we have the universal remote's code...You are right we DO NOT! So, now, I have to go buy a new remote so we will have the "secret code" to punch in :D (I just can't help but smile about it...)
It's not just TV's that need codes...so, do our phones, cell phones, computers, etc...it seems that everything in our modern world of technology needs a code! It was much more fun as a kid just pretending you needed a "secret code" for things...!!!
But, the more I think about it...I realize..it's not really something "new"...there are lots of things in life that need codes....Like our mail & Zip Codes! Firearm Codes for safety! Building Codes....even our food we buy in the store has a code!!! (Which I'm all to aware of now that Safeway has the self-checkouts :D).
The military has it's secret codes, as does the hospital, and even the Boy Scouts...so, yesterday during Church it hit me as I was sharing my Mr. & I's secret code....we all have Secret Codes!!!
I don't really know if I should be sharing this...since it is a "secret code"...but, here it goes....Ever since Pat & I started dating we came up with a "secret code" of our own to say "I LOVE YOU"...(you know when you are in public and you can't just blurt it out...or if you don't want your friends, parents, siblings to hear you saying it over & over....or if you are in the middle of something serious, like a business meeting or Church...) Well, this is our "secret code"...I squeeze My Man's hand...three times means "I Love you"...4 times means "I Love you too", and 5 times...well that means "I Love you very much"! (There it's out...our code is out there for anyone and everyone to steal and use!) Although, my MR. informs me when I tell him I'm going to post on it...that "everyone does it"...do they????? So, now it's your turn to share your "secret code".... that is if you can :D
Thanks for reading my ramblings....most of all....May this day be filled with LOTS of Sweet blessings!

Awwwwwwwww.......That is SO sweet! How cute you two are!
I heard that Obama signed something that delayed the converter box thing until June. I hope so, because I am on antenna too! LOL!
Just FYI :) That's our secret code to bust up laughing :)
I think we need to come up with one now ~
I think we're bound for no TV ... we had better get on the stick, huh!?
So cute about your code :)
I think ours is a look- I can't describe it really- a slight smile and a super subtle wink.
I hope you had a very restful three-dayer! Happy "Monday".
You guys are the sweetest couple ever!
I hope you are having the best week and maybe I will get to run into you Thurs!
Aaww. I love that you have a secret code with each other! Todd and I just do the ASL 'I Love You' sign; not very creative. My favorite secret codes are the ones the kids have made up. Rachel and Connor each have their own code with Mom, with Dad, with each other, and even with Emma. If you're keeping count, that's 7 different secret handshakes. It seriously takes us like 10 minutes to say goodbye in the morning, but it's very sweet.
