I’m starting to think I’m PMS’ing or something because I’ve been just a tad touchy at work and me no likey. Captain Obvious came into my office again to bug about something or another, but my beef is that she asks if I’m on a conference call and I say yes, and then she just starts talking. I want to go into my “retard” voice and ask her if she is in fact retarded or just socially inept. My door is closed, she knocks and instead of being rude, I’m come to the door to which that whole scenario unfolded. She makes Captain Ridiculous look suave with her socially awkward actions. I finally put my ballsy pants on and e-mailed her. I said, “In the future, please e-mail me these questions when I’m on a conference call.” It’s like she waits until Jwho leaves to bug me. Jwho is her admin, yet she comes to me for just about everything. I love being capable and all, but run to your socially inept bff and leave me the eff alone, please. mmkay?

Ugh.

Aside from all that, my bestie will be getting married soon. I’m almost scared to say that, but finally, with this guy, I’m seeing her in a dress, walking down an aisle and pledging some vows. I haven’t met the guy, but I love that he makes her happy. I finally hear her at peace and that makes me oh so happy to say that. I’m thinking she’s a destination bride so I may get to use my newly renewed passport. Tip to all those soon to be married friends out there, if you renew your passport within a year of changing your name, it’s free. Yep. Completely free. You just pay for the postage. If you do it after a year? You get to pay the same renewal fees as when you first got it. I’m so generous with the US gov’t.

I’ll be going to Mexico in less than two weeks, so getting my passport in the mail today was such a relief. Not getting my original marriage certificate back in the same envelope? Not so comforting. So, I’m probably going to have to go to church soon or the county office and request another one, you know, in my bundles of spare time. I was just watching some youtubers. There’s a dailyfml channel and some of my favs are on it. http://www.youtube.com/dailyfml

Only 8 more work days before vacay is so relaxing. Putting up with Captain Obvious/Jwho is almost tolerable. Who am I kidding? Putting up with them on a daily basis sucks balls.

Oh, and it’s Rodeo time again. Swoon is going to give me some rodeo cook-off tickets. Ma’an, I wish you could make it. Rodeo cook-off is my 2nd favorite part of rodeo. Free food/free beer? Completely awesome. Seeing all the cowboy hats is the reason I really go. I plan on showing Swoon around rodeo this year since it will be his first. He won’t be at cook-off, which is a semi-good thing. Office boss and I are going to have a really good time, methinks. muahahaha.

Jwho and Captain Obvious are so not invited.

I have a training class the week I get back from vacation that I’m also looking forward to. Planning vacations I’m semi-good at, but planning work shiz, notsomuch. Swoon has a pretty fast pace and I already have a million folders made per his request, but remembering everything? Some days I feel like I have Alzheimers. The class is supposed to help with that. Thank you, baby Jesus.

Office boss and I have a mission tomorrow. I remember the post office part, but I can’t remember the other part. See? Alzheimers. ugh. Office boss plans to hold her first staff meeting with all of us this week. Should be interesting.

Hubs is good. I think he needs the vacation more than I do. It’ll be good to get to take some time off with him. I was spoiled Valentine’s Day weekend with getting to spend time with him. I miss that. I think he almost wants to change his schedule, but we’ll see. I need to let him come to that decision on his own.

My mom’s bday is tomorrow. She shares her bday with one of my close friends. Anywho, back to catching up on my subbies.

I’m finally in the groove of things at work. Bossman or work husband and I have a great working relationship complete with an understanding of my workload and his ability to shift it to others. Gotta love that. I liken it to hubs doing the dishes every once and awhile, only sinfully better as it means office chatterbox has to do some of my work. Yay! I seriously don’t know what it was about work husband that took me so long to warm up to him. He’s a doll complete with a drool worthy Southern accent.

I don’t know if I like this next bit because I’m from the South where you rarely see a male secretary, or because I have never really had an assistant, but when we have light duty or workers’ comp type employees they have to do office work. I was lucky to have a slave fellow employee file some papers for me. In actuality, he had to file 3 huge binders of papers and another large stack of papers for me. It was simply marvelous. It took him two entire days, but to have that much filing done for me? Brilliant! Such a relief to have all that done.

Happy hour with the work husband is fun as well. He makes fun of me drinking cider. “Is that leaded?” (As in, does it contain alcohol?) Um, if I drank dirty martinis I’d be telling him how hot he is in no time. Can’t have that. He jokes that my actual husband will be mad at him for me having a beer with him. Hubs doesn’t mind, but it is funny that work husband worries of my non jealous husband. Office boss rocks. It’s nice to have an ally at work. I could talk to old office boss, but I never felt like anything got resolved. He was afraid of the veteran employees and didn’t do anything to make changes. New office boss listens, and actually talks it out with me as we try to find solutions. I hate confrontation at work. I’d rather people do their jobs, and call it a day. There’s no need for the attitude, or people not realizing when I’m obviously busy. That’s a story for another day, methinks, but I love the nickname Captain Obvious for my next work foe.

In other news, I had a lovely Valentine’s day and beautiful flowers were on my dining room table when I arrived home today. I can be cheap like hubs. Getting flowers more than half price off makes me love the holiday all the more. Did I mention he got me two vases of flowers? Pink tulips and beautiful red roses. I’m loving my flowers. Gotta love the thoughtful husband. One of my gfs was gushing over an over the top Valentine’s Day date she had and at the moment, I felt a tinge of jealousy wash over me. He took her to a romantic dinner, gave her some concert tickets and then surprised her with Miss Saigon that same evening. He’s never done anything like that, and he definitely pulled out all the stops for my gf and it made her very happy. I was glad he finally made an effort for my friend. For me, it’s the little things. Getting to go to a favorite restaurant even though my hubs is tired, hubs suggesting/following through with going to see a chick flick, having dinner with a friend, or him opening our home to friends with a family member in the hospital. He just does it. Lately, it’s been without complaint too. I’ve been loving it. Writing all that out makes me realize I need to visit the MIL soon. He did all that over the weekend. Raise your hand if you’re a lucky bitch. Me me me me!

I don’t know where all this change started happening, but it’s been all good lately. I’m thankful for the fun job with an office, and good bosses, my thoughtful hubs and my fabulous friends. I’ll be going to Monterrey, Mexico in a couple weeks. My mom is having her mommy makeover surgery and even though I’m terrified, I’m thankful that I’m able to go. Hubs is coming with so I’m feeling safer. It’ll also be our 2 year wedding anniversary while we’re on the trip too. The maid is coming again this week. I don’t even think the place needs another cleaning, but I definitely want to keep it up. Seeing hubs not stress over the housework has been awesome and I’ve been loving my sparkling bathroom/dust free surfaces. I love that she comes when we’re both working too. Not that I’m a jealous wife, but when hubs is off, I want him to enjoy his time off and not have to worry about a loud vaccuum cleaner.

Work has been ridonk lately. We had a vip member of the company give us 1 day notice of his arrival to check on our market. Whee! There were about a million things we had to do to get ready for sir importante and not enough people. Luckily, the tour went off without a hitch and we really wowed sir importante with our progress, sales aggressiveness and kick ass execution. My office boss is of the “work hard, play hard” mindset and we took full advantage of that yesterday. Happy hour with office boss/sales boss after a hard week is almost too much fun. (Don’t worry! I only had 2 beers. Cutest thing was sales boss asking me if hubs was going to be mad at me for having a beer with him.) All the extra work has definitely taken its toll on me. Today’s weather was dreadful, and all I wanted after a fried out day/work week was a long hot bubble bath. Yummy. Lush to the rescue! Today it was the red holiday bubble bar. All my cares almost melted away as the hot water soothed my tired muscles. I smell like cinnamon and my skin is ever so soft again. My feet no longer ache from all the running around the office getting books together and collecting facts/figures. I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday.

With all my work commitments, I neglected my rodeo commitments. We have mandatory training on Saturday and I should’ve called everyone in the midst of all my, I don’t know, WORK. Being on a rodeo committee is a volunteer effort. The rodeo is able to function/raise money on the backs of all these hard working volunteers. Kicking ass at my real job and sucking at my rodeo volunteer gig. The committee chair gave me quite the tongue lashing. I’m trying to calm myself down before I call him back, but seriously? It’s a volunteer gig. We’re an IT committee. Do I really need to CALL everyone? We’re of the e-mail era, aren’t we? It’s a required training, we are all adults and I feel like a pain in the ass calling people after they’ve already been reminded more than once about the training. I don’t want to react, but what I really want to do is stick his head in a vice.

Anywho, that’s been my week. I came home to hubs asking me if I wanted to see Valentine’s Day with him. Isn’t that the sweetest thing? Sure, Taylor Swift is in the movie, but he asked me to see it with him. He does surprise me sometimes with his kindness. Even after I asked made him call all the rodeo guys to remind them of the training. Maybe that’s why I got a tongue lashing? *rolling my eyes*

I might call him back, after a glass of wine or four.

My last blog was kind of heavy, so I thought I’d take you right back to light. Karoke, style. Some of you have seen Cowboy sing, and it takes my breath away every time. I’m just one proud wifey when he gets the chance to sing. This last time was no different, but it was a different audience. Meetup pals got to hear my hot hubs sing. Whee! They were impressed and it was awesome. Let’s have a listen, shall we? MIL’s new beau is one of the vids.

The past couple months have been rather uneventful, but recently, its been brought to my attention that the MIL is busy at work again. She was laid off in December, and her newfound freedom has given her more time to meddle and worm her way back into my husband’s ear. Hub’s job isn’t glamorous, or exciting, but it pays the bills, it keeps him at home during the week, and home with me every night. I’ve loved being able to sleep next to him, instead of him being in some other town away from me. I feel as if our marriage is stronger as a result. I’m thankful for that. I do listen to him complain more often. I want him to be able to tell me his work woes and I try to encourage him as best I can. Everything I say is soon undermined by his mama. She leads him down this path where he should quit his job. Great idea, MIL. How will we pay bills? How will we save for a house? I wish she would back the eff off and leave my husband be. I need him to man up and be responsible and quitting never got anyone anywhere. It does annoy and aggravate me. He complains to me and when he doesn’t like what he hears, he’ll complain to her where all these roses/sunshines/false hopes come up and I’m the heartless slavedriver. Awesome. I haven’t found a way to tell her off, but her time is a coming. I can’t take this anymore. Today’s words of wisdom from MIL was to have Cowboy’s brother help him with work, today. Um, that is not allowed. It will get him fired, and for what? Because you think you’re helping him? You’re being over the top ridiculous now and jeapordizing my husband’s career is not something I take lightly.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. My latest tips of success? I’ve tried every one of them with hubs. I’ve tried to motivate him, and it doesn’t work. I like to think I am capable of motivating anyone, but with MIL as my evil villain, she’s just better at it. Her shiny/ridiculous picture of happiness shatters my dreams. My intent with hubs working for the same company as I do was for him to move up within the company to something bigger/better. Shit happens and that hasn’t happened as quickly as I’d hoped. Big deal. Life goes on. Time does fly. He will have his chance if he’d just be patient. This entitlement mentality is driving me crazy. MIL is the queen bee of instilling this ridiculous value of entitlement. No one is entitled to anything. You have to pay your dues and earn your keep. I was brought up that if you didn’t work, you didn’t eat. No one is going to give you anything. You have to earn it.

The thought of moving far far away from MIL is even more tempting. I feel as if I need to be far the hell away from her so she can’t meddle as often as she’d like. If I could send her to some far deserted island, I would. Her ex-fiance lived far and it really was a fantasy that she’d move away and I wouldn’t have this bs to deal with. Again, shit happens and that was not the case. One of my favorite phone features is to send callers to voicemail. If I could do that with his phone, I would. I’d block all her phone calls and I’d delete all her messages. I just need some distance. ASAP.

She came, she conquered and I’m one happy camper. It is such a rich feeling to come home to a clean house. Bathroom was sparkling, kitchen spotless and carpet vacuumed. Simply brilliant. My mom’s gentle suggestion was awesome. Gotta love it!

Hubs and I don’t have days off together very often and the last thing we want to do on our off days together or after work is clean, but having someone else do it? Heaven. I can’t rave enough over the relief/fantastic feeling of coming home to a clean apt. I’ve been having less sinus issues as a result as well. Maybe all that dust was causing me grief. I’m so keeping this up!

In other news, www.meetup.com rocks my socks. I have met some fabulous ladies there and they really know how to have a good time. Last night was karaoke night and even though I can’t sing, hubs can. He melted my new gfs and it was awesome. I’ll have the vids up later, but it was really nice. MIL even came to cheer him on. Yay!

Also, my new office manager? Rocks! I’m looking forward to the things she’ll be teaching me as well as getting my career to the next level. So far? Having a great time! I better get back to work, but have a lovely day, lovelies.

I suck at it. Someone is cleaning my house right now, and I’m ok with that. I’ve been smiling all day. Looking forward to going home to a nice clean home. *sigh*

I was on fire today. Papers were flying and shit was getting done, for once. Since moving into my new office, I’m more focused, eager, and ready to work. Being away from chatterbox and miss MIA has been awesome. There was a recent re-org at work, and fortunately, yours truly wasn’t shuffled, riff’d, or demoted. I like to think it’s because I’m needed, valued and work my ass off. I’d like to share some tips with you guys. I’m calling it my tips for success. This isn’t for everyone. I know several ladies/gents I love to read already have this shit down, but this is more for my younger youtubers that walk into work with this sense of entitlement. I don’t want their awakening to be quite so rude if they end up working with/for someone like me.

1. Attitude is everything! – I drove by a billboard that read, “Work is love made visible.” So freaking true. We’re not going to love our bosses 100% of the time, but approach work as if your boss is hot and you’ll be all set. Take pride in your work, and try to impress those bosses/peers every chance you get. If you have the right attitude at work, this is easy. Every one gets at least one chance to piss you off, and you have to learn to let that petty shit go. If you can’t give them a clean slate after an hour, you better come in tomorrow ready to get over yourself, and move on. There’s work to do!

2. Embrace change – Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. In these tough economic times, change is inevitable. Companies must work smarter and harder in order to compete, stay afloat, and make progress. The sooner you can embrace change, take things in stride and freaking adapt, the better. There is always a quicker, better, more efficient way of doing things. Spend your days trying to find these shortcuts and you’ll not only be more efficient, but you’ll be making yourself an asset to your company. Rock on!

3. Never stop learning - You’re not freaking Einstein and the sooner you realize that, the better. Do not walk into anything thinking you’re a resident expert. This over confidence clouds your ability to learn. The other day I learned an amazing tip for Excel. I must share it with you guys. Let’s say you have multiple spreadsheets, but they’re pretty freaking similar, like information on different things, but similar or the same column headings, etc. You want to make them pretty/format them to have the same headers, etc. You can highlight the multiple sheets at the bottom and make the formatting changes across all of those sheets. You can even merge cells across those sheets. This, my friends, blew my mind. Excel never ceases to amaze me with its capabilities/time saving tips built into it. One of my favorite tips to share with those that claim they’re not computer savvy with softwares companies value such as Access, PowerPoint, Excel, etc., Microsoft has training on these softwares online for free. Yes, seriously! Go here if you don’t believe me. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.

4. Teach others - now that you’ve  taught yourself something, or someone (ahem, me!) taught you something, share it. Knowledge isn’t meant to be secret. If you see someone doing something the long way, or refusing to do something for whatever reason, take the time to teach them. I really do hate seeing people struggle and I do love being the go-to person for everything. Not for the attention, but because I do love helping people. Teaching people things also reinforces #3. If you can spread that mantra everywhere, think of what a better work environment you’d be in. You’re now a part of the change. Isn’t that a powerful feeling? Pat yourself on the back.

5. Softer – We’re all a little rough around the edges. Our childhoods, relationships, bad bosses changed us. It made us a lil harder to work with. We have to be softer at work sometimes. We can’t do all the work ourselves, and chances are, we’re going to need a lil help from our peers, bosses, other departments, etc. Learn how they work/what the respond to and remember those manners your parents tried enforcing when you were younger. Its amazing what a lil sugar on your tongue/request will get you. I liken this to calling for customer service and luckily talking to someone who just approaches you with respect, kindness and willingness to answer your every request. Try to be that person every time someone asks you for something. Try to be a lil softer.

6. Time management - Managing multiple projects/deadlines is not easy, but it is a job requirement. Flag e-mails, add reminders to your outlook calendar, schedule time in your day for specific, time consuming projects. Let the computer do some of the work. In truth, if you don’t know how much time you need for a project, how are you going to manage the next project that’s going to fall into your lap before noon? Our bosses will sometimes give us a list of things to do, but some won’t. You’re going to have to find a way to communicate your time constraints to get those priorities reset all the time. If you can manage your time/track how you use it, things will be that much easier.

7. Follow-up – Sorry guys, but its true. Men get lost in the details. Not all men. But some. I’ve had some great bosses, but even the great bosses need help with follow-up. What do I mean by follow-up? My boss loves to share his wishlists with me. I write them down, and when we have time, I sit him down and follow-up with him on those wishlists. We bounce ideas back and forth and the best part? It helps me predict his needs/wants in the future. Follow-up doesn’t take a bunch of time when its done right, but it is probably the most valuable tip in this list. Quicker, better, more efficient, remember?

8. Get to know your co-workers – Its easy to get caught up in work, and not take the time to get to know those that work right next to you. The thing is, you never know when you might need them or when you can use their knowledge. Getting to know them establishes a relationship, a bond. Say good morning, ask the new guy/girl to lunch. Ask questions. You’re not going to love everyone, but learning to be comfortable around them is worth it. It will make working with them easier. If they like you, they’ll take you to lunch, and they’ll do whatever they can to help you. Why? Because you care about them. Knowing what motivates people is key. Some have families, homes, cars, kids they need to take care of. We all have things that are important to us and motivate us. Find out what motivates them. My Dad always says, helping others reach their success makes him successful. It makes us all successful.

9. Take some time off - You’ve earned it. Moreso, you need it. We all need a recharge. Take the time and use it to relax, gain perspective, and plan your next great thing. When we’re on vacation, we’re able to take a step back and see the big picture. Even when I’m on vacation I find myself checking e-mail, voicemail. I don’t want to miss anything. It’s then that I realize I need the time off to disconnect and enjoy my vacation. Spend it with my loved ones. You should too!

10. Remember to have fun! – Find a way to have fun at work. For me, it’s wearing bright/bold make-up looks on Fridays. I take the time to make my eyes all colorful/expressive and it makes it easier for me to get through that last work day before I get some time off. If anything, I’m ready for happy hour, right? I also like to laugh at work. Since I’ve taken the time to get to know my co-workers, its easier. They tell me funny stories, I motivate them on the phone, and we get through our day with a smile on our faces. Caller id at work, allows me to know who is calling me. When it’s a favorite co-worker, chances are, he/she will get, “Good morning, dah-ling. How can I help you?” This puts them at ease, makes them smile, and it makes it easier for them to ask me to do something. Simple, right? It goes a long way!

That’s all I got for right now, but the most important thing from this list? Attitude is everything! Having the right attitude at work really sets you up for success. It’s hard to rain on sunshine. Love you guys and have a great day!

We’re not going to go in chronological order, because that would be boring, so let’s bounce around, shall we?

ahhh, the epic glamour shot. so necessary. That hair is TX big/full and I loves it. My eyebrows are at their most natural and I can almost see why my mom hates when I shape them. I’m such a glamourpuss….

I don’t think I was digging that bow in my hair or those poofy friggin ruffles in that dress. Am I holding a bonnet, or matching purse? I don’t know. Wasn’t feeling it. I still make that face. LOL.

I’m so happy I found this pic. This is circa 1993? I got bangs, yo! Such a must. I’m so lol’ing at the girl with her eyes closed. So many band geeks in this pic, but oh wells, I was one of them. You’ll see….

LOLOL. Why am I dressed like I’m going to work? The guy with marker on his face to my left? I may or may not have had a crush on him. He was a bad boy, but ugh, he dug the girl behind me. We were in elementary school, so I’ll let that slide. Note the pearls. They are the June birth something, and since I was born in June, I rocked the pearl necklace from time to time. LOL.

Me/my brother on my first visit to DC. I’m so pale. Chicago, I hate your non-existent sun.

PROM! 1998. I’m ready for a cruise ship in this dress. My hair is so pretty, why did I let some goob do this to it? Ugh. Not proud of the makeup either.

Another glamourshot. LOLOL. I think the photog said, “Give me sexy.” And this is what he got. Perv.

High school graduation. Those eyebrows. Ugh. Tweezers definitely got to them.

another hs graduation pic. Makeup? Is it there? Can’t really tell.

Yay, back to Singapore. Why are we wearing floaties in less than 2 feet of water? These were the days.

HAHAHA! My mom was really creative with our Halloween costumes this year. LOL. Why is my brother wearing a top hat? I think he’s a ghost/snowman. I’m so loving that old school stereo in the back.

High school I think. My hair naturally highlighted in the summer, and got blonde in front.

Told you I was a band geek. I’m so loving the lace shorts. They did wonders for my hot ass. This is a poof, snooki.

My Audrey Hepburn pose. I look like my mom in this one.

These pants are so negative, ghostrider. My mom permed my hair. It was long and beautimous and we permed it.

Um, yes, I’m wearing the same shirt. How awesome of me. At least I’m not wearing those pants.

My Lita, me and my lil bro. Isn’t he sooo cute? Gotta love that kid.

Me/my brother. I love that his head is twice the size of mine. He must have more brains.

This one is definitely my favorite. Told you I have a million faces. My niece looks so much like me in this one.

Oh yes. Daisy dukes and a baseball bat. I’m ready, mama. Pitch it to me!

This totally reminds me of the movie Clueless. My doctor says I can’t do anything where balls are flying at my face… LOL!

My first day of school. Knee socks were a must apparently.

Me and Garfield go way back. Singapore, I miss you. This nice young lady took us everywhere. I have  so many memories of the zoo and the park.

Give me some candy! Socks/sandals? Really, Lorie? Ugh. Oh, and overalls. Even better.

These shoes remind me of crocs and I hate crocs. Croc flips? rock. These, not so much.

Gotta love that couch in the back.

Pajama party! I’m sitting at the bar in the house. Nice. Pour me another one, Sam.

Me/my pal Pink Panther. He’s bigger than me, but he’s pink, so that’s ok.

You know I saved the best for last right? LOLOL. Look at the height on my bangs? Can’t top that. The makeup is rocking, but I don’t think I did it so I can’t claim it. Diggin the power suit. Don’t think I’ve ever worn something this nice to work yet.

I’m turning 30 this year, so you’d think I’d know what it means to set goals/achieve them. You’re wrong. I hate being wrong, so I can understand your disappointment. Moving on, I’m officially moved into my new office. Picture time, right?

First, the unmade up face. My skin is not flawless, but I’m happy with it right now.

The view from my desk. I love the artwork on the wall. It came with the office.

The view from my window. Not fantastic, but I’m thankful for the window.

The view from the entry way of my messy desk/unorganized office. I’m still moving in, sifting through all the work. Note, the ancient computer. Crazy, right?

Had to get the eye make-up today. Lipgloss wore off, but the eyes were still rocking. I did a smoky navy blue eye. Sephora navy blue eyeshadow came out of storage.

Evidence of my schoolgirl crush on my boss. He left this note on my old desk, and I saved it for a week two long. His baby blues in my office make it hard for me to get work done. Need to sneak a pic the next time he parks himself in my office. He’s grooming me to use the power I do have at work, and it’s very, very sexy.

To ease myself out of gushing about bossman, here’s a cute pic of hubs. We were Christmas shopping and he really wanted this Budweiser beanie. It’s pink/camo and he wanted it. Negative, ghostrider. Ma’an, he’s after your , methinks.

My niece on a laptop. Isn’t she too cute? She recently obtained stole my lip balm. It’s in the shape of a ball and she loves that thing. She sleeps with it. A kid after my own heart, right?

In other news, I went to a dinner meetup recently with some very lovely ladies. It was just dinner, but it was fun to get out, and get social. We’re meeting again this weekend for an 80s girls night. Kinda like a slumber party, but not. I’m totally thinking of rocking some hard core 80s makeup and some poofy hair. I’ll be sure to get some pics of that. I want to attempt to get a vintage pin up look tonight.

I also went to Dallas over the weekend for a very special xangan’s baby shower, but I totally failed at getting any pics of us together. She is looking beautiful and I loved getting to meet the family. Alex, your parents are simply lovely, and I can see why you are such a special hubs to our dear, Jen. I’m so happy for you guys and I can hardly wait to meet your son. Hubs is looking forward to your visit down here if he’s not able to come up with me to meet baby Noah. PS, I hope that death trap is packed away by now. Milo is too special a cat to get stuck in that thing.

Hubs has been especially awesome. I needed new tires, and he was working so I had him talk to the guy because I didn’t believe that I needed 4 new tires. Him doing that manly stuff for me definitely makes me feel special/loved. He’s hot butter on a roll with his thoughtfulness lately. I think the next post is going to be a throwback post, complete with pics from my younger years. My makeup I’m sure was horrific, but isn’t that fun to look at sometimes? What we thought looked good in our inexperience? We’ll see. Take care, my lovelies!
