The Purple Perspective

Last dress standing

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 02:03:35 -0800

I finally got rid of my last extra wedding dress! As it turns out, each dress found it’s rightful owner with it’s perfect fit!
My sister-in-law got married a week ago. She wore a simple white suit. She was planning on getting a big dress for a big party. It turns out she was planning that for the day after our anniversary . After talking to her, she ended the discussion with it being less about the dress and more about the party.
The dress madness women go through needs to end. It’s the marriage that’s important, not the dress! I’ve got to get mine dry cleaned and I cringe at not knowing how much they’ll charge when they see a “bridal gown” coming. I may take a cocktail dress in first to see if it is inflated for the-big-day wardrobe.

Painting

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 01:28:29 -0800

I've always painted or sketched to relax. My husband happens to be the same way. We often take time apart to do art. Lately we've been doing it at the same time which is quite enjoyable, but last night it went to the newest level. We actually painted the same picture together. Now technically, it was his painting first. He asked me to help with one area, then I got inspired. "What if we do this?"
"Can I use this color on that?"
It was so wonderful to have our partnership reinvented on another level. What he does with it next, I don't know. But the point is, just like marriage, it's the process, nor the result you have to aim for.

Shrinkage

Sun, 9 Jan 2011 01:15:24 -0800

One other great thing about my husband not smoking was that he was so much more productive around the house. I came back from a few simple errands to find the kitchen clean, the dish washer running, two loads of laundry done and more sorted abscond their way. The only thing that keeps the story from being perfect was my favorite swearer. The lay-flat-to-dry beauty somehow ended in the dryer. And is now a very sexy belly shirt, of I can ever get my abs hard again.
My husband's first reaction. Was wanting to know if that sweater was for me to wear or our eight-year-old. I told him it started out for me, bit just might end up for her. She thought it was both funny and a good idea to give her my cloths.

There's no smoking in football

Sat, 8 Jan 2011 01:12:15 -0800

Today I gave the hubby a challenge. I told him if he could go the entire day without smoking, I would take him out to dinner.
To my surprise, he was up for the challenge. It didn't seem to faze him. Of course it was freezing outside, and he was watching football.
We had planned to go to couple's yoga, a writer's open mic, and dinner ( on me, of course, if he completed his task.)
By the end of the night, be had eliminated all other plans and sent me out for hot wings to accompany his foot ball.
All was well until he had asked me for money and I told him I would not give it to him until he went the full day without smoking(not until he woke up the next day.)
He was angry that the deal didn't end at midnight. My husband has a way of being inconsistent on when a day starts and ends to make it bend to his own needs and his own point.
Even though he wasn't happy with the ultimatum, he did it. And I was/am very proud. If only he didn't reach for the tobacco first thing in the morning the next day. My next challenge will be 4 days in a row. I just need to think of a really good bribe!

Heat!

Fri, 7 Jan 2011 09:09:36 -0800

It’s been so cold for LA. I don’t remember the last time I had to work so hard to stay warm.
Now that I’m getting older, slowly but surely, all of my friends are becoming home owners. One random observation I have is for my friends who enforce the no shoes in the house rule. Now this is a rule I agree with and would feel the same way I buy a place in order to keep the new digs clean (I may wait til after I own real estate before I share that with the hubby). The thing is, all my friends that have the n shoe rule (and there are quite a few) all seem to have the coldest places I’ve ever been in. For one thing 3 have high ceilings. Another always keeps a little A.C. on for circulation. I don’t know how to warm up an 80- foot-high-ceiling room, but it’s making me think that that’s not the place I want to buy! It some how feels colder to me in those rooms then the log cabin my cousins grew up in in Canada with only a wood burning stove to keep warm. Perhaps one should only keep your shoes off indoors when there is a wood burning stove present.

Obama Care

Thu, 6 Jan 2011 09:07:18 -0800

I’m moving up in the world. I turned into a grown up. I have health insurance for me and my husband, dental insurance and life insurance for us as well. Yet it’s some how harder to go to the doctor NOW then before I qualified for all this insurance.
A year a go I saw an allergy specialist who after a CT scan and an exam diagnosed all my ailments. The next step was an allergy test to work on treatments. But the Dr. who administers the allergy test in that office was not covered by my
HMO so all treatment for my life long problems has come to a halt.
I was being treated for my bursitis and referred to an orthopedic surgeon. The treatment was great as was the suggestion to be prescribed with physical therapy. Of course they waited for the day of my first appointment to call and say that even though the PT was in my plan, the referral needed to com from the first Dr. and NOT the orthopedic surgeon and there for I was denied.
People ask me why on earth I went for an HMO over a PPO. I love that they assume I had an option in that. I did/do not. Hence, why we need a public/government option.
I also love that although my insurance covers pregnancy, to take time off work for maternity leave may result in me loosing benefits. Crazy!

Subconscious

Wed, 5 Jan 2011 08:52:05 -0800

My husband has started doing this thing a few months back. About once a week he gives me some sort of compliment in his sleep. I thought he was awake at first. He would wake me my shaking me or grabbing me close and saying things like “You’re great.” or “You’re the sexiest woman I know.” Then one day as I was kissing him goodbye, he offered to have dinner ready for me when I got home that night. I don’t know if I was more upset by disappointment that dinner was NOT ready or hurt to discover he had ZERO recollection of offering to cook, as well as no memory of any of the other nice things he was saying in the middle of the night.
Yesterday I told him that his subconscious was talking to me again, which surprised me because he had already done it this week. As usual he asked what he said and I told him “You said you love me for being me.” and for the first time he said “I do remember saying that.”

I’m So Sorry

Tue, 4 Jan 2011 09:12:42 -0800

It started with computer problems where my blogs were not posting. I’d write them and just wait to post. The waiting took over and I couldn’t get them up.
I promised last lear at this tim a blog a day. I failed by 3 months along with a few other random dates that has technical difficulties.
Honestly, that’s all it was. I may slowly go back and try to rebuild the lost blogs of the past, or may move on for a new year. I haven’t quite decided yet.
A friend had accused me of gaining discretion when I got married. He wondered if that’s why the blogging became less frequent. I certainly don’t think that I have ever censored myself, yet I do think having a spouse has changed what I take into consideration. I now care if someone is effected by my words. Before it did not matter. Am I still truthful and honest about what I share? Of course! He choses not to read my blog or tweets regardless.

The New Year

Mon, 3 Jan 2011 03:09:00 -0800

New years are always about changes. Changes, or resolutions you are going to do differently. In addition to truly trying to blog everyday, The biggest change is being married and all that, that the new year brings. My husband pointed out that his grandmother was born in 1912, and if we had a child in 2012 it would be pretty amazing that they’d be 100 years apart.
We have been talking about that particular year as being one where we want to have a house, have additional children, make strides in our careers, but it’s creeping up on us so soon!!! If this year goes by anywhere as quickly as last year, I’ll be pregnant by August which will feel like a quick wink away!

Reflecting

Sun, 2 Jan 2011 03:20:05 -0800

I always reflect on the year as the calendar flips from one book to the next (or now, my iPhone). It is crazy to think that one year ago I was as single as single could be, and now, I’m married. An ex of mine was on the fast track, met a woman on line, they got pregnant right away, got engaged, moved, had the baby, and got married- yet somehow I managed to get married first. Weird!  There are times everything feels soooo new! Also times that I don’t remember not having a partner. It’s crazy how it can all catch up in this crazy thing we call life. I get it now. I get sharing. Sharing my life, sharing my thoughts, sharing my talents, and also sharing my burdens, and sharing my fears. I loved my alone time, and I now love not ever have to being alone.

Firsts

Sat, 1 Jan 2011 03:30:16 -0800

Here we are 1-1-11. A time for starting over, a time for “firsts.” It’s my first new years married, my first new years attached in 8 years! It’s become a time where I have historically now spent some time with a girlfriend, then later party all night with my gay boys. Life has changed. I’ve slowed down. I worked late, performing for the masses. Then didn’t make plans as I had to get up early in the morning.
My husband wanted to stay in. Hates crowds and didn’t want to get caught out in the madness just to spend time with the two of us. I still like the few holidays where I dress up, so I was slightly disappointed with the idea. He said a week earlier that he’d make dinner and have it all ready when I got home from work. Well, he had forgotten the “have it ready” part, so we cooked together, got our salmon in the oven 4 minutes before midnight in time to kiss, so we did. Then had dinner, watched a movie and fell a sleep on the love seat. All and all a beautiful night.

Volcano Screen

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 23:45:30 -0700

While I was working I was looking at the backstage monitor. It’s simple, black and white and reverse color like a negative. I zoned out for a second and began to see images. Sort of like when you’re a kid (or not) looking at clouds. I suddenly saw a still picture of a volcano on the screen. I was in another zone until it was time for me to perform again. I don’t know what or how I morphed together that image in my eyes, but some how, I have a feeling that the island will be calling me back.

Diaper service

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 23:52:47 -0700

My husband came home from work and teased me that I was looking up and comparing cloth diaper services, I not only found them in LA, but on the big island in Hawaii. My husband said my subconscious is getting ready for babies.
What I don’t think men quite realize, is that when women choose to do something, even if it isn’t for ten years, we map out our plan so when ever we’re ready, we have everything in order with nothing eft to prepare. We’re all ready to move on to the next thing.
The thing about not being ready to have kids isn’t as much about not being personally ready, it’s about having my life ready. I think when I explained that to my husband he thought I was talking about financially. He said “you’re never going to have as much money as you think you’ll need to do it, but you just do it.” For me it’s more about personal goals and achievements and accomplishments.

dream home

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 23:56:38 -0700

I was just reading that 6 of the 10 most expensive cities to by a house in are in California. Of course putting our Hawaii dreams to rest, one of the remaining 4 cities is Honolulu. Now granted it wasn’t even a city on the island we stayed on, but it is the only one with active entertainment industry work available.
I’m thinking more and more about my husband’s experiences building houses and how I can be quite handy myself (ask all my friends abut me kidnaping their power tools). It seems more and more feasible that the only way to do something right is to do it yourself. In our case build it ourselves! Especially when we talk more and more about wanting solar and windmill power, it’s probably easier to start from scratch then to put in the work to remodel. Now it’s just a matter of finding the right land. Location, location, location.

Request

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:25:55 -0700

Yesterday our 8 year old made a request...a baby brother or sister. This
followed with that she wants at least FIVE more baby brothers and sisters.
I suppose that being only 16 months the older then her brother eliminated the whole "baby brother" thing and she only had the 'little
brother" experience.
I told her it wouldn't make a difference how many babies I had, she
would always be the oldest to which she replied "that's the best part!"

Sleepless

Sun, 5 Sep 2010 07:43:22 -0700

Last night I just could not fall asleep. It was a strange occasion when my husband went to bed first, yet I was completely exhausted. My mind is often active and productive when I can’t sleep, but last night it was just angry and fearful. I had that feeling as if I was about to oversleep and had a natural snooze button that was going off every eight minutes. I probably should have just gotten up an allowed myself to be productive. Instead I just felt unrested and antsy. Ironically, even with out rest and a day of vigorous performances, I feel more energized now then I did all night.
Now is the time to be productive! My husband teases me when I say “I sleep when I’m sick.” but when I have a lot to accomplish, sometimes sleep just needs to be placed on the back burner. Especially now that I feel like every life decision and project I take on is a race against time. I am however very confident that it is a race that I will win!

Checking in

Sat, 4 Sep 2010 23:59:30 -0700

When I got home last night my husband wanted to “check in.” it was interesting because we never really had that type of convo before, and honestly, we haven’t really needed it. My husband pointed out that we are both starting to get busy at the same time so he just wanted to make sure everything was okay with me, and with us from my perspective. Very considerate, but not really necessary. I suppose that’s what makes it considerate. Men will never stop shocking, one way or another.

Black Sand

Fri, 3 Sep 2010 23:40:59 -0700

The black sand in Hawaii is actually ground down, naturally refined
volcano lava. They say it's bad luck to bring any lava home with you,
but some how my sneakers never got the memo. I am STILL tracking black
sand all over the house! In the loving room, in the bedroom, in our
bed itself. Even though my husband is one of the most observant
people I know, he never noticed the shimmer that it has until he saw
it laid out all over the apartment. We are still enjoying Hawaii a
week and a half later.

Passing on the love

Thu, 2 Sep 2010 23:45:36 -0700

Since I was gifted a bunch of wedding dresses, I decided to spread the
love by giving one to a friend who's partner refers to her as his "pre-
ance'." She was quite anxious to find out how he was going to react to
bringing home my gift, as am I! The funny thing is that this friend
has the same gluten and dairy allergies as I do but she is a total
vegan, unlike me, who eats eggs, poultry and fish. She's also studying
holistic nutrition. I told my husband that he could have it worse
then my diet, she bursts into tears every time he goes out for a
hamburger. He told me "Don't you go taking notes!"

How’s Married Life?

Wed, 1 Sep 2010 23:49:07 -0700

"How's married life?" is the most asked question I get o. A daily
bases. It is almost always followed by the question(s) "(When) Are
you guys having kids?"
It was posed to me twice at work today. A girlfriend says the best all
around vague answer should be "We already have two."
It's amazing to me after only four months of marriage. No wonder there
is such a backlash against gay marriage, people act as if there is no other reason to get married then to immediately procreate. Do people
really dislike their spouses so much that they want to end all private
time with them as soon as they can? I actually LIKE my husband and enjoy taking advantage of the fact we can make time for alone time and date nights right now. Everyone is so eager to move on to the next stage in their lives. I would rather lay back and enjoy everything I have!

I got this

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:31:47 -0700

One of the things that is always great between my husband and me and knowing when to step back and knowing when to step in. Friends have seen this in us and my husband ever wrote a paper for school about it.
Today, my husband worked earlier then I did so as he was leaving for work asked me when I was coming home, and since it was later than him, what I wanted him to cook for dinner.
When I got in tonight, although it was early, he was in bed. He told me he wasn’t feeling well and was going to make dinner, but instead fell asleep. I said not to worry, and I made dinner. but because he’s sleeping so soundly, I’ll let him sleep. save dinner for tomorrow, and just have a snack. Sometimes you just have to let go of all the plans, even the plan B.

Jobs

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:34:43 -0700

My husband had been quite depressed over not working since we've been
married. There was a day when he had a few dollars and he was going
to the store to get a snack. Before he left he asked if we needed
anything. I told him we needed brown rice and eggs.
I was so upset when he returned with nothing but a box of cookies. I
felt like he was putting his need for a sugar fix over the need for us
as a family to make meals. Like my money, with no surplus after rent,
bills and groceries, was our money and his money, like a kid with his
allowance, was his money to be spent on what ever he wanted.
Later after discussing it, I learned that it was killing him to tell
me he didn't have enough money for brown rice and eggs. That it not
only was bruising his ego, but his manhood.
Just before we went to Hawaii, my girlfriend had a party and we
discovered her company was hiring. Even better, they relocated across
the street from where we live. My husband's first day of his new full
time job started today. He came home only to get an email that he has
been cast to perform nights in October for a gig I got him into the
audition for months ago. Now, he assures me, I have even less to
stress about. Good thing he likes being busy. On top of all that, his
second semester of school starts tomorrow.

a different kind of commitment

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 01:03:40 -0700

A woman once told me that being married was a different kind of
commitment. I had yet been married and lived with several people and I
didn't quite get what she meant.
I get it now.
There's something in even the longest of long term relationships, even
if you're not looking to get married of "what comes next?"
Something about being married and knowing neither person can easily
just walk away like that gives an extra sense of effort and honestly,
a sense of security. It is no longer about coming together with the
other person. You ARE together with the other person and together you
make impossible dreams come true.

Used to it

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:31:48 -0700

I must be so ashamed of this blog that it did not save and I have to type it again. I may be giving my readers the short end of the stick because today I am too emotionally drained from writing about this the first time.
I snapped at my husband. I apologized. He pointed out to me the issue I was really projecting onto him. He was right. I apologized again. He said he did not take it personally, that he was “used to it.” I am horrified that he would ever be used to such a thing. I told him that it broke my heart to hear him say that. That he shouldn’t have to be used to it. I was still upset though, and we were a bit distant. As always we talked it out and I will work on censoring my mouth when I am emotional.

Opportunities

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:29:25 -0700

I could audition for a show in Japan. it's 6-13 months, all expenses
paid, including housing. And that's on top of a salary.
Of course, now I'm married and I can't up and go to Japan for a year.
If it were a movie or a TV show, I'd probably take it. The live gig
offered is more of a day job then a career move.
I'm very lucky to have a guy who gets the career thing and will
understand when those things come up. It just means I need to pick and
choose the projects that are important to me and a money job doing
children's theatre on Japan just isn't one of them.

Knocked Up

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 22:47:01 -0700

Boy the baby bug is surrounding me strongly, even though it has yet to
take a bite. I walk into my performer break room and everyone is
sitting around watching Knocked Up. I am a huge Judd Apatow fan so
it made my day to see it on E! It was the scene where Katherine
Heigl's boss and Kristen Wiig confront her about her pregnancy. They
tell her she shouldn’t have hid it and it's great for ratings and now
she gets to interview all the prego celebs. They made it look that
easy. Maybe it is. Maybe it can be.

Great Expectations

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:21:47 -0700

Today I read an article in Backstage titled Great Expectations. It was
not a review of the book or a stage version, it was about pregnant
women working as actors.
Pretty much it was encouraging women who wanted to have babies but
were reluctant to do so to just go ahead and do it. It followed the
lives of six pregnant. I am happy that there are articles like this to
really break down the female experience. I've seen it go both ways.
Women so career focused that they don't look for mothering opportunities
and can't think of anything beyond that once they do, and also women
who resent giving up their careers when they do have children.
Julia Roberts said if she had to choose, with out a doubt shed be a
full time mom. I wonder though if it's easier to say that when you
KNOW you don’t have to choose. A woman in the article said she decided
not to wait after seeing Angelina Jolie in The Changeling. This woman
felt that Angelina actually being a mother helped enrich her
experience to play the role. I know there are things I only understand
in theory because I'm not a parent. My husband gives me examples all
the time. I'm just not so sure I'm ready for that life long
commitment, especially when I have so much unfinished business left in
my career.

Hawaii day 7

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:21:23 -0700

It's so surprising to me that so few people live on The Big Island.
There is plenty of space, land, climate. But not many jobs because
there are so few people, even though it's the biggest island there.
The number one reason most people don’t choose to live there is the active volcanos. We had the up close personal tour. We walked on land three weeks old that up until then, had been a beach. What was now beach had been rocks, just three weeks prior! We felt the heat as we walked closer to the bursts of steam where the lava falls down the mountain and hits the ocean. The warm sensation bled through my shoes and as we stepped over the cracks.
My husband was so determine to take pictures we got closer then was safe.
We’ve seen footage of people on a mission to see a flowing volcano. It ended with that tape being the last words that those people spoke. Our pictures may be great but we have now decided that we only chase those dreams if we know we can live to tell about it.
The irony being, the best view of flowing lava dripping down the mountain I saw was when my husband was attempting to get closer. He couldn’t see it from his view because I was up hire. Sometimes you don’t have to go anywhere to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Hawaii day 6

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:20:30 -0700

My husband was on a mission to shoot photos of every sunrise and
sunset for every day we spent on Hawaii. The sunrise he achieved once.
He woke up at 4:30 in the morning in the sold black of the jungle. He
took a flashlight and scaled down the side of the volcano cliff to the
black sand beach. Not only have I never seen my husband wake up so
early, I've never seen him filled with so much joy and accomplishment
when he returned. Well, not since our Vegas wedding. I told him the next time I would wake up and go with him. I don't think there's been a next time, but he took a whole role of film. I can't wait to develop our sunrise.

Hawaii day 5

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:19:59 -0700

Every sunday there is a drum circle on the black sand beach across
the street from The Purple House. It was one of the things we were so
looking forward to. My husband was in heaven and played ‘til the
sunset. It was one of my favorite sights. Watching the sun set, the
waves crash the beach, people, children, families, and puppies everywhere.
A stranger came to sit by us with a big purple drum. I was too
intimidated to play, so my husband traded a smaller drum. It makes me
miss the music I used to make, that I will make again. My husband is
so encouraging.
It was a moment where I could really see us living there, the family
ritual of drum circle Sundays. To our surprise, we learned of a drum
circle on Sundays in Grifith park. We can’t wait venture there... as soon as we get our own drum.

Hawaii day 4

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:19:15 -0700

I have had a fear of cold water for most of my adult life. It's not a
fear of drowning. It literally is the cold. I've gotten pneumonia
several times after swimming in cold water that I just stopped amercing
myself in it.
The first Hawaii water experience was lovely. We went swimming in a
hot pond. Not the hottest water of the hot springs in Nakusp, BC
Canada that I love, but mote like a warm swimming hole. The swimming
there ended after my husband grabbed and removed the dead frog
floating towards my head. We next went to the Warm Pond, which was more
like a warm public pool with the mixture of ocean water and hot
volcano warmed water mixing over you. A local calls this pond the
polio pond because it's the perfect temperature for bacteria to grow.
My hubby had had a burn on His arm that began to puss after going in.
The thing that got to me was the little fish and eels that nibble on
your dead skin when you are in the water. One nibble was Too many
nibbles, exfoliation or not!
The next water experience wad one of the highlights, the steam vents.
The natural volcanic steam filters it's way though an apple orchard
in to the cleanest steam/water that there is! The natural holes it is
released from have been surrounded by man built saunas for the most
peaceful cleansing experience there is.
I needed robe peaceful because next my husband lured me into ocean
water. The pacific is much warmer on the island then off the coast of
LA. I only went in about waist deep. But that was a lot more then the
ankle high my husband succeeded in Venice Beach. It was only
preparation though. The next day, we were down for the snorkeling!
All I can say about snorkeling is is looked just like the finding Nemo
ride at Disneyland. We didn't go very deep because, let's face it. I
was head to toe in un-warm water! My friend gave me a quick tutorial,
then my husband joined me. The lesson was a little different then the
pool class on snorkeling he had in high school. Unfortunately, with
different skill sets taught, I dragged him across the rocks in the
shallow water. Next time we better get our lessons together! We both
had some cuts and scrapes. At least THAT didn't happen in the Polio
pond.

Hawaii day 3

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:18:49 -0700

My friend has a rule for everyone visiting The Purple House. Everyone who stays there must paint a picture to be left in a guest room. As my husband and I paint together all the time, we were thrilled that this would be on our list of activities. I started painting a butterfly, but after the first part of the lavender wing was placed on the canvas, it was clear it was a petal of a flower. I continued to let the paint dictate the creation of the flower. When I was done, I capped it with a lady bug landing on it. Minus the lady bug, i actually found the exact flower I had painted the next day!
My husband did something he had never done before. Though he always paints landscapes, he had never painted an image he had actually seen. His picture was of the first night, the rainbow, the black beach, the ocean, and the volcano rocks. Beautiful. He inspired me with a combo of paint and pencil on canvas that I drew on canvas for my next. It was the view of the rainforest out the window from our bed. I called it Honey View.

Hawaii day 2

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:18:19 -0700

Amazing first day of make shift honeymoon in The Purple House in the
middle of the jungle & rainforest. Our first expedition was to explore the black sand beach. We crossed the street, climbed down the cliff and there, on the black sand, not only were waves crashing against the rocks in the clearest, crispest water we’ve ever seen, but we were greeted by a double rainbow. My husband thinks it’s a sign we are in the right place at the right time. Not to mention that Double Rainbow is the brand of soy ice cream he prefers.

Make it happen!

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:53:17 -0700

I'm siting in the airport waiting for
my change over in Hawaii. It's sort of the honeymoon my husband and I
skipped.
Last night we were walking around Hollywood at 4 am in search of film
(yes, stuff you put in a camera to then take to be developed and THEN
see what your pictures look like.). My husband had pointed out how
back in February we were laying on Venice Beach and decided we needed
to see the Pacific ocean from Hawaii, and now we just flew in over it
and are hours away from touching it. He commented last night how what
ever we talk about, I manage to make happen. I need to stop
underestimating myself and both enjoy and take advantage of my super

As much as we want a house. LA prices are still super ridiculous.
I saw a listing for a house today on short sale. It's down to $450,000
which for Hollywood is a steel for a 4,bedroom, 2 story.
It got me thinking of all the times of the past I was interested in
being a home owner. How if I had actually bought the town house of my
dreams, it wouldn't be suitable for the newly found Family life I find
myself in. It's funny how that works. If I had that home of my
dreams, in the end it no longer fits with the life of my dreams. I
guess it's true, good things come t those who wait. Now I'm patiently
waiting for our home.

Party Time!

For Friday the 13th, my husband and I were invited to a 80’s Horror party. Unrelated, we were also invited to another 80’s party the same night. The thing that I love about my husband is how obvious it is that he loves me by the lengths he goes to to make me happy. He worked hard to put together his costumes, even though costume parties are not his thing, but he’s willing to go all out because it’s MY thing.
