I'm not talking about "<em>Grandma's Pleats</em>." The weird looking bunches, in elastic pants. Oh no! I'm talking about <em><strong>stylish pleats</strong></em>. I'm seeing them everywhere this year. In so many different pieces. Everything from dresses to shoes. I'm falling in love!
<br />

<br />
<br />There are definitely 4 pieces, in this picture, that I'm loving. I've actually got a little "Wish List" going. I've been looking on Etsy, in stores, and online. Now I just need some money. Because a few of these pieces, oh, I'm just drooling over them!

<br />So after a crazy week, one I'd kinda like to forget, it's Sunday! And the man I love, oh ya, he's making me breakfast. What you ask? Waffles. Yum! And I'm not talking homemade. But it's all good. I'm just happy to be here with him. Safe and healthy. We have so much to be grateful for. And I'm so excited to just relax for a moment. Here are my <a href="http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/">Sunday Stealing</a>. Happy Sunday!

<br />
<br />This makeup look, just makes me <strong><em>so happy</em></strong>! I'm not sure what it is, but I just LOVE it! And after taking some inspiration, I've decided to recreate it today. I'm not doing anything too special. Just hanging out. But I'm one of those people, who believes in getting ready. Even on those lazy days. When you stay home, hanging out in sweats, watching your favorite movies. Yes, a lady should always put a little effort into her appearance.
<br />

She was going home, to enjoy life a little. Reconnect with some old friends, spend time with family. Then some things were thrown at her. An unexpected, but welcomed audition. Lead to a few more. I'm pretty sure she'll get the job. Which will have her working well into next week.
<br />
<br />Her friend. She still hasn't met up with her. Now we have <strong>Hurricane Irene</strong> to deal with. And a few things on our home front. Life as an adult sucks. I feel bad for ♥D. She had looked forward to this, for a while now. It's just not working out.
<br />
<br />She cried on the phone this morning. Because there is a slim chance, we'll get see each other, until next week. And besides my team, she has to been the one person, that was looking most forward to this weekend. But there's not much we can do. <strong>Life is just life.</strong>
<br />
<br />Dang, I hate when ♥D is not happy. She's been battling her health again. One good thing is all we're asking for. We're also worried about the house. And this <a href="http://crazyblondlife.blogspot.com/">lady</a>'s house. My family. This storm is hitting pretty close.
<br />
<br />On top of all of this, ♥D has been dealing with a crap load of family issues. I was never a religious person before. But with ♥D, I've learned to turn to God. To let him have my burdens. I really do hope, for ♥D's sake, that life eases up. We could all use a break. D

But with this last round of "<strong>sickies</strong>," well, I'm looking for something to cheer me up. That happened one night, when one of my Goddaughters, walked in with blue sparkles. And wanted me to paint her nails. Then my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">toesies</span>, were sporting the same fun, sparkly nail polish.
<br />

<br />Enter <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">OPI's</span> new collection. Based off the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"><strong><em>Muppets</em></strong></span>. The top 6 polishes speak more to me. But those bottom 6, well, I'm seriously falling for them. I could have so much fun. Sparkles on my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">toesies</span>. So much fun! Yes, these bad boys are on my <strong><em>Wish List</em></strong>.

Here in the Southwest, for almost 2 months, we get those late afternoon storms. The ones that instantly cool the summer heat. And add life to the desert. The storms that I grew to <em><strong>LOVE</strong></em> with all of my heart.
<br />

<br />
<br />Yes, I'm a fan of all those late afternoon, and evening rains. I almost die with excitement, over rainy nights. And with all of these rains, another love of mine, pokes it's head out. <em><strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Rain boots</span>!</strong></em> Yes, I'm a big fan of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">rain boots</span>. Something about today, makes me want to run outside in my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">rain boots</span>. Just 'cause I can. And because it just rained!

Because this is the <strong>3rd time</strong> I type this up! Yes, thanks Blogger. For always making life a little tougher. But I'm not giving in. I'm fighting back! :)
<br />
<br />Earlier this week, my friend and I start this <strong>2 hour long convo</strong>. What about? <em><strong>All about Kool Aid!</strong></em> Yes, that sugary drink, that we all enjoyed as kids. :) In my family, it was all about the <span style="color:#33ff33;"><strong>lime flavored Kool Aid</strong></span>. But I favored the more exotic flavors like <span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>black cherry</strong></span>, <span style="color:#ffcccc;"><strong>strawberry banana</strong></span>, and <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>tropical punch</strong></span>. Yes, we were a Kool Aid family!
<br />
<br />And this silly convo, lead to my friend and I, heading out to buy Kool Aid. Did I mention the ridiculous rainstorm? And how the streets were flooded. But we still went. And we returned with a <em>HUGE</em> supply of Kool Aid! It was delish! And even my friend's wife, she enjoyed the yummy sugary drink with us. We finished off 2 pitchers before dinner. :)
<br />
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoJcpN1djvRoYUvfSprVqmUoYNQBsSh9pI6dh-qjZmCttAGdkylZLYaURxtkUd0iLd9UhDNx7FhhvFgLKpM34s5s1ChEmHqeLxLqQN0QVU14TWKaPR3Les4M6E-JKiFnJOehv1PvFR9PQ/s1600/o_vnOsnxDQzKzPewe.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642053204309261538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoJcpN1djvRoYUvfSprVqmUoYNQBsSh9pI6dh-qjZmCttAGdkylZLYaURxtkUd0iLd9UhDNx7FhhvFgLKpM34s5s1ChEmHqeLxLqQN0QVU14TWKaPR3Les4M6E-JKiFnJOehv1PvFR9PQ/s320/o_vnOsnxDQzKzPewe.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />Do you remember these bad boys? Oh ya! My mom used to collect "<strong>Kool Aid points</strong>." She had a special jar,were she would put them. And we had 2 or 3 sets of these pitchers and cups. I might have also had a t-shirt, or 3! Yes, my mom still has some fun Kool Aid memorabilia. Too bad the Kool Aid company was sold to Kraft. A few years ago, all of these fun things, well, they went bye-bye!
<br />
<br />I have so many fun memories that involved Kool Aid. Big Mason Jars filled to the top, on a hot summer day. Those ridiculous red 'stashes you'd get, after say, 2 glasses of Kool Aid. Making Kool Aid pops with my friends. All of these things, just make me smile!
<br />
<br />But I do have a secret to share. When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, it was the cool thing, to bring powdered Kool Aid to school. <strong><em>The pre-sweetened kind.</em></strong> We'd fill up a baggie, and sneak it to school. Yes, our entire grade! And at recess, we'd eat it. :) All you had to do, was cut a small hole in the corner of the bag. And suck. I probably ate 10 lbs of Kool Aid, that school year!
<br />
<br />It's funny how one thing, brings back so many memories. I can still see the big cans (that my parents would buy at COSTCO) under our kitchen counters. In our house, we'd have Kool Aid 3 or 4 times a week. And honestly, since moving out of the house, I haven't really had Kool Aid. Like in years! So on this day, it was so nice, to enjoy a large glass, of my favorite sugary drink. :)
<br />

<br /><strong>Happy Sunday!</strong> I'm a little late this week. We had our <strong><em>annual Family Reunion</em></strong> today. And I was having <em>so much fun</em> with my family. Unfortunately, I missed the last one. So I was thrilled to be home today! It's always nice to see family. Especially, the ones that you rarely see. Like my sweet cousins. And of course, there is nothing better, than running around with my nieces and nephews. So a little late, here are this week's <a href="http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/">Sunday Stealing</a>.

<br /></span>
<br />2. What is your favorite topic to write on your blog other than a meme? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">I like to talk about beauty stuff. Just because, in "real life," there are not many people, to chat with about it. You know what I mean?

<br />
<br /></span>5. If you could study anything, what would it be? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Music. I'd love to study that again. Or interior design. 2 of my passions in life. Yes, they are!

<br />6. What is your favorite possession that cost less than $15? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Honestly? That's a tough one. But I'd have to say, an angel that my auntie gave me.
<br /></span>
<br />7. Which color do you wear most often? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Black. Or white. I'm pretty boring when it comes to my clothes.
<br />
<br /></span>8. What has been your “theme song”, or favorite song this summer? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Dang, I don't know. Dirt Road Anthem. I really like that song.
<br /></span>
<br />9. What's the most romantic thing that's ever been said to you? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">I can't say that. But it feels pretty good when D tells me that I'm his world. That I make life worth living for him. :)
<br />
<br /></span>10. What would be your dream birthday cake? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Anything with strawberries and chocolate ganache.
<br /></span>
<br />11. What is the coolest thing you’ve ever done? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">White water rafting is pretty high on my list. So is performing at a "Sold Out" stadium. Or Nationals...all those things were pretty amazing!

It's an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Etsy</span> shop. And I'm in love! If you know me personally, you know this about me. <em><strong>I LOVE jewelry.</strong></em> And I'm not talking about just diamonds, and thousand dollar pieces. I'm talking about fun, and affordable pieces. My favorite kind of jewelry.
<br />
<br />Here are a few of my favorite pieces. Simple and elegant. Ladylike, yet sophisticated. Perfect for a casual look. Yet, versatile pieces.
<br />

<br />
<br />Early Tuesday morning, my new Goddaughter was born. A beautiful baby girl. So healthy. And beautiful! She is just a gem. I was so honored to be in the Delivery Room. To get the chance to Welcome this sweet girl, into the World.
<br />
<br />I've spent the last week, completely falling in love. Yes, this little girl has stolen my heart. She's made me totally rethink my life. And everything in it. New life can do that. And that is truly the miracle!
<br />
<br />I'm going to spend the next few days, just loving her. And being helpful to the new parents. This is really a time for all of us, to celebrate new life. It's a new beginning for all of us. I'm so glad to be a part of this magical time. Now, it's time for me to go. And cover my new Goddaughter in kisses! :)
<br />

Naturally. All of my adult life,I've sported the ginger hair. My childhood days, were filled with blond hair. But as an adult, the red hair just appeared. And stayed. These days, there are a few grey hairs in the mix. But thanks to the red color, you can't easily see them.
<br />
<br />Earlier this week, I came across <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/katherine-bindley/redheads_b_921627.html?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-nb%7Cdl8%7Csec1_lnk3%7C86148">this article</a>. I read it. Laughed. Went on with my life. It was funny. At least I thought so. But I didn't grow up as a redhead. Did that make my life easier? I was a boy, not a girl. Did that make a difference? I'm not sure. But the "trauma" that the writer is trying to perceive, I don't get it. Why blame red hair for so many problems?
<br />
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZK8gHj4iDdNoj9M7qPOX50jKyhB2H_5Zl9ZB-V_LE-QNMfkzYEcSkJaygyto8qmo8VKBcW6i0rQw-kFMV0TM3g-xUOmsGOEYXSSdwEJObf7ndfYBgVc_Z_kLResNiHqJGmm0AWBcCO8/s1600/1181733166_c8e2cde570.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642288283035899986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZK8gHj4iDdNoj9M7qPOX50jKyhB2H_5Zl9ZB-V_LE-QNMfkzYEcSkJaygyto8qmo8VKBcW6i0rQw-kFMV0TM3g-xUOmsGOEYXSSdwEJObf7ndfYBgVc_Z_kLResNiHqJGmm0AWBcCO8/s320/1181733166_c8e2cde570.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />With all of that said, I can't understand <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/katherine-bindley/redheads_b_921627.html?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-nb%7Cdl8%7Csec1_lnk3%7C86148">this article</a>. Is being a redhead that horrible? I think not. It's interesting. There are some good jokes out there. They stereotypical stuff about redheads, I personally know, some are true. <strong>I know this.</strong> For example, I'm left handed. But traumatizing?I don't think so. As someone who is in the public eye, I've never had to deal with crap, related to my hair color.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/katherine-bindley/redheads_b_921627.html?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-nb%7Cdl8%7Csec1_lnk3%7C86148">This article</a>, I'm not buying it. I had an interesting childhood. Struggled to be in the "cool" group. Which I was never a part of. At least until I was an adult. And my career got moving. But it had nothing to do with my hair color. It was other things.
<br />
<br />What do you think? Am I nuts? Am I not getting something? Do I see things differently, because I didn't grow up as a redhead? What I do know is this, life as a redhead, is fun. Interesting. Full of good things. Why not embrace your natural hair color. Whatever it is. We all go through crap in our lives, so why blame it on our hair color. I just don't get that. D

<br />
<br />Do you see how cute and fun this pillow is? I found <em>this picture</em> on Pinterest. And instantly fell in love! One of those things, that made me save it on my computer. Then I showed it to D. And asked him how he liked it.
<br />
<br />Usually, our tastes are slightly different.<em> I like a little more frills, ruffles, and girly touches. </em><strong>D is more of a straight shooter. Likes clean lines. More masculine furniture. A bit more modern.</strong> But somewhere along the way, we've married the 2 styles. And our new house, reflects this. And better yet, it works incredibly well for us!
<br />
<br />So when D <em>liked this pillow</em>, I got so excited! You see, we have a Sun Room. That is so fun. It's painted a deep gray color, with fluffy white couches, and a ton of green plants. An entire wall, is nothing but windows. I've found the funnest accessories for this room. Everything is hot pink or bright orange. It's a fun place to be. To sit and read. Or enjoy lunch. A place where I can sit and just be.
<br />
<br />My plan, is to make some of these pillows. With striped pillows, just like these ones. And hot pink and bright orange flowers. The perfect match to our room. A fun accessory, to our fluffy white couch. And as D put it, "<em>adding some fun, to our already funky room.</em>"
<br />
<br />I find that it's always tough, to marry the things we love. But it can be done. Maybe the interior design is more masculine, but I can add feminine touches. Or the room is feminine, but done in a color scheme, that is more masculine. Yes, it can be done. And I'm glad that D likes some of my "<em>more fun</em>" ideas. :)
<br />

<br />
<br />I'm still feeling a little sad, and guilty, over leaving D. I know, logically, <em>it's only for a few days</em>. But I see my role, in our relationship, as the "<strong><em>supporter</em></strong>." I'm around to cheer him on, and to be there. To do the things for him, <strong><em>that he needs</em></strong>.
<br />
<br />And when I'm not around, <strong><em>I feel insanely guilty!</em></strong> It might sound weird to some. But in our crazy, and very chaotic life, that's just the way it is. Plain and simple. He does so much for me, that I feel like I'm supposed to be there, doing for him as well.
<br />
<br />I'm not joking when I say this, <em><strong>Sunday just broke my heart.</strong></em> All I wanted to do, was crawl back into bed. To be there for the man, that is always there for me. Talk about hard to do. How do you walk away from someone, that loves you that much? That does so much for you. And gives up so much, to just be with you. It was so hard! But of all the things that I've learned, in relationships, <em>sometimes you just have to do things for you</em>.
<br />
<br />The look in his eyes, on Sunday morning, made me want to crawl back into bed. To cuddle with him. Right up until he had to go to work. There is nothing like feeling his arms, wrapped rightly around me. Knowing that he loves me so incredibly much. I wanted nothing more, than to crawl back into bed, get into my little "nook," and fall asleep to the beat of his heart.
<br />
<br />But like I said, I've been in relationships were I've completely lost myself. Let the other person's life totally dictate mine. And it's tough. It's hard to not do that again. But it's the wrong way to go. So I held my ground. Put on my jacket, and battled the rain. I endured a morning of traveling. And guess what? <em><strong>It wasn't that bad.</strong></em>
<br />
<br />I had an amazing time with my friends. We celebrate my Goddaughter. We caught up on each others' lives. We laughed. <em><strong>I enjoyed <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">delish</span> Mexican food again.</strong></em> Oh, how I've missed it! And when all that was done, smiles were permanently glued to our faces, and my heart overflowed with love...we headed to the park. To see my friends perform. <em>It was an amazing concert!
<br /></em>
<br />As hard as it is, to be in this relationship, <em><strong>I wouldn't trade anything in the world for it.</strong></em> It's so hard, to be away from all of my family and friends. I miss them so terribly bad! And it's incredibly tough, to be away from everyone and everything, that I love so much. The culture, climate, food, shopping,and life in general. <strong>But I LOVE D.</strong> And I'm OK with being away from all of this. Just as long as I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">get</span> to visit from time to time.
<br />
<br />And I know, that these little trips are good for D and I as well. It's good that we spend a little time away from one another. <em>It's good that our lives involve other people.</em> And other things. That we have interests away from each other. Yes, it's good for us.
<br />
<br />So I'm going to make the best of my week. I'm going <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">indulge</span> in all the yummy food, I'm going to love my Goddaughters even more, I'm going fix my home, visit my family, and enjoy life in the desert. <em>Because sometimes, you just have to do that!
<br />
<br /></em>And next week, when I get to see D, I'm going to be over the moon! I'm going to enjoy our homecoming. And all that I've missed. I'm going to hug him a little harder. I'm going to enjoy the smell of his cologne. And the feel of his arms. <em><strong>Yes, I'm going to do all of that, and so much more!
<br /></strong></em>
<br />Relationships are not easy. They require a lot of "<strong>push and pull</strong>," to make them successful. <strong>I'm so happy that I'm on this journey with D</strong>. <em>A man that truly understands all of this.</em> <strong><em>That loves me</em></strong>. And is willing to sacrifice a little, so that I can be happy too. Yes, this is a very good relationship. And D is an amazing man!<em><strong> I'm so lucky and blessed</strong></em>.

Mondays just fit the bill. Until this week.
<br />
<br />I was bugged about my afternoon adventures today. Not because of what I have to do. That's actually gonna be pretty cool. But it's Monday. It's like asking a normal person, to go into work on a Sunday. You know what I mean? Damn, but I figured that the 1st half of my day, wouldn't be bothered. I could live with working the evening/night. It didn't sound too bad. That didn't work out. <strong>Much in thanks, to yesterday's rain.
<br />
<br /></strong>With yesterday wasted, literally waiting out the rain, all work got moved to today. We're on a time crunch. Everyone is miserable. I've got a good team today. No one wants to work. Right now, we're mid flight. I'm the one trying to "cheer" everyone on. <strong>Isn't that hilarious?</strong>
<br />
<br />Meanwhile, ♥D has gone back, to her home, in the SW. She went to throw a Baby Shower. And is staying until next week. Her family is having a Reunion next weekend. Since she doesn't see much of her family, we agreed, this would be the best time for her to be home.
<br />
<br />How is she spending her week? It was supposed to be low key. Baby Shower yesterday. Helping her friend, get ready, for her baby all week. Taking it easy. Being a little lazy. And seeing friends. <strong>She needs a break.</strong> This was the best opportunity for her. I was happy. Even planning a trip out there midweek. Just to hang out for a day or so.
<br />
<br />Plans hit the ceiling. Damn, we have no luck. Miss ♥D has been having issues with her home. For a while now. But since she lives with me 95% of the time, we really haven't pushed to fix a lot of these things. But the plumbing in her master bath, it's shot. And she woke up to a horrible surprise this AM. All this after an eventful evening.
<br />
<br />Instead of kicking back all week. ♥D is now dealing with plumbing and construction issues. Not exactly as planned. But what can you do? It's life. My PR guy also jacked up, looks like I probably won't be west bound anytime soon. Pisses me off. Of all times, I know ♥D needs me right now. <strong>It's a damn good thing, that she is a strong woman.
<br />
<br /></strong>A usually quiet day, in our neck of the woods, has become a headache. On all sides. Add in some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">unusual</span> family drama, on both fronts, and I'm pretty sure that the lady and I, are both ready to hideout. It's just been <strong>that kind of day</strong>. Leading into <strong>that kind of a week</strong>. I've never looked forward to work, as much as I do right now. Because the sooner I dig into that, the closer I will be to next Monday. <strong>Our day off.</strong> Which, we're taking off. D

<br />
<br />Another rainy Sunday. Usually, I'd be all about it. I'm a <em><strong>"Lover of Rain."</strong></em> Except, I'm traveling today. Flying across the country. And D, he's got to work. Let's just say, the rain makes that <em>almost impossible</em>. So as much as we know, that <em>we need</em> the rain, I wish that it would have waited until tomorrow.
<br />
<br /><em>My heart also broke as I left this morning.</em> Way before the sun ever came up. I didn't want to wake up D. But when I went to kiss him goodbye, he woke up. Gave me <em>that look</em> that said, <strong><em>"Please come back to bed. Go back to sleep. You really don't have to go."</em></strong> I almost, <strong>ALMOST</strong>, got back into that warm bed. But I resisted. And headed to the airport.
<br />
<br />Yes, I'm on my way home. To co-host a <em><strong>Baby Shower</strong></em>, for a very good friend of mine. I'm going to be the <em>baby's Godmother</em>. And well, this was just too important to miss. Hopefully, if everything goes as planned, I'll be seeing D on Tuesday. Until then, I'm going to try and enjoy this traveling. And get my <a href="http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/">Sunday Stealing</a> done. <strong>Happy Sunday!</strong>

Yes, it's pure love! But this color, <strong><em>Steady As She Rose</em></strong>, it's a total must have! I'm not even joking. I'm not sure what it is, but it's life changing. Yes, a nail polish can be life changing. And this one is just that.
<br />
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCS02nUo4XHpPlBZJoX3acANpy8Hy6Nl_2VWybXGMw7w_Ns5ObeCWJrmxoOx4rsTUJdklKV-9-xhF1qNc3uW9YhsmJsKVhLvgUGN3YArTAhBwxDmaqHUNWMlgsFRx0z7ElgNWx8bKaWX8/s1600/Steady+As+She+Rose+1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 276px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639820521945077634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCS02nUo4XHpPlBZJoX3acANpy8Hy6Nl_2VWybXGMw7w_Ns5ObeCWJrmxoOx4rsTUJdklKV-9-xhF1qNc3uW9YhsmJsKVhLvgUGN3YArTAhBwxDmaqHUNWMlgsFRx0z7ElgNWx8bKaWX8/s320/Steady+As+She+Rose+1.JPG" /></a>
<br />
<br />If there is any nail polish, that I'd recommend right now, it would be <em><strong>Steady As She Rose</strong></em>. It's perfect for summer. And I think it will make as a nice transitional color, into Fall and Winter. It's such a nice neutral. Something that any skin tone can pull off. Yes, you need to run out and buy this nail polish!

I always have a tough time with these things. But let's just dig in. A while back, D's grandma gave me <em>this book</em>. Actually, she's so sweet! She bought a copy, for pretty much every female member of her family. Including D's mom and I. That was really generous of her!
<br />
<br />Turns out, she read this book over 2 years ago! And she loved it. LOVED IT! So she was sharing it with all her family members. I was the last to receive the book. Not because she doesn't love me. But she had figured, <em>being the bookworm that I am</em>, that I had already read it. Wrong. And that night, before dinner was settled in our tummies, and dessert was on our plates, I had my very own copy.
<br />
<br />I LOVED this book! In fact, <em>I read 2 chapters on the way home</em>. In the dark! D thought I was hilarious. And I stayed up, all night, to finish this book. It as that good. No lie! I as so into this book. So much of it, reminded me of <em><strong>my Auntie</strong></em>. Who I spent so much time with, growing up. <em>And I miss so much, now that she's gone.</em>
<br />
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9dGO7miP3jDyS-VIyQbvOP10pYmxhMMQd_31mF3_Y5AnSgl0N1bKPdTixb2mwhrjd8ts-e4N4keUdL44_jAzCCS1zoStCJLzm3K0Xn0DE-GedN-cV5Iv2in95ozgpwiseRNFak_q1Kec/s1600/help.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 211px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639798255174164386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9dGO7miP3jDyS-VIyQbvOP10pYmxhMMQd_31mF3_Y5AnSgl0N1bKPdTixb2mwhrjd8ts-e4N4keUdL44_jAzCCS1zoStCJLzm3K0Xn0DE-GedN-cV5Iv2in95ozgpwiseRNFak_q1Kec/s320/help.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />That was a couple of months ago. And I've read this book, 3 times since! Can you tell that I <strong><em>LOVE</em></strong> it? So when we heard about the movie, we planned a <em><strong>Girl's Day Out</strong></em>. Just to watch this movie. All of the females in the family.
<br />
<br />This week, just happened to be when we watched it. And it was so good! Of course, it wasn't as good as the book. But it was still a <em>very good movie</em>. One I'd recommend. After reading the book, naturally. :)
<br />
<br />And our day out was just amazing! We started with a yummy breakfast at grandma's house. Everyone pitched in. And we had a real <em>Southern Delight</em>! Then we went out for a little pampering. You know, hair, nails, and makeup. Then some shopping. Followed by a yummy lunch out. The amazing movie. And some dessert. We all headed to our house for a fun BBQ. The guys in the family, well they surprised us all! And they did all the cooking.
<br />
<br />Yes, it was a very good day. With an amazing family! Something I'd never give back. I had so much fun. And I'd definitely recommend something like that, for anyone considering this movie. But remember, <em>read the book first</em>. You won't be disappointed!
<br />

<br />
<br />Today Miss ♥D has a doctor's appointment. We've learned to hold our breath, when it comes to these appointments. Especially lately. It's tough to think about anything else going wrong. I go into these things, trying to be as supportive and strong, as I possibly can. Being her rock. Inside, I feel completely sick. Out of control.
<br />
<br />This is the only thing that I can't control, in life. I can't pay someone, so that Miss ♥D is feeling better. You can't buy good health. As much as I'd like to. You just can't. I've learned that the hard way. That's a tough pill to swallow.
<br />
<br />Early this morning, I got a kiss from Miss ♥D. She had to work. 2 hours away. It made for an early morning for her. But even with that, I try to make it easier on her. Knowing that she had a doctor's appointment, and that we're leaving for NY later, I got a car service to drive her. With that sweet kiss, I began to silently pray.
<br />
<br />Any other day, I would have gone back to sleep. My work day, starting hours later. But I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about the woman I love. And what she must be going through. Knowing that at any moment, as she calls it, "<strong>The Big C</strong>" can get totally out of control. Things that she so neatly organizes, can blow up.
<br />
<br />I sat there. With our dogs. Just thinking. I know that she's "<strong>The One</strong>" for me. I've always known this. From the day I first met her. I just can't imagine life without her. I really can't. Over the last 3 years, I've really learned to love. I need Miss ♥D, like one needs air or water, to live.
<br />
<br />I try not to let my mind go there. But sometimes I wonder, what if... It's a horrible thing to imagine. It literally makes me sick to my stomach. I have to remind myself to stay hopeful. To remember that she's beaten it thus far. I've also learned to not count on certain things. That the fact that Miss ♥D's health doesn't get worse, well that's a damn good thing. Bad news, is when things get worse. It may sound odd to people when I say, I don't want her health to be worse off, just the same as last time. A bonus would be better. Complete health, that's a miracle. But if she's not worse, that's good too.
<br />
<br />Today, I've tried to work. I've been thinking about all sorts of things. But mostly, that I want to be there, for the woman I love. I don't care about the rest. This work, it will get done. If not today, there's tomorrow. Traveling to NY, well, we'll get there, when we get there. I'm not worried about that. I'm only worried about Miss ♥D. My word for today is, <strong>HOPEFUL</strong>. D

<br />
<br />I really enjoy <em>this song</em>. It puts me in a good mood. Every single time, that I hear this song, I smile. Yes, I do! And since today is going to be a little nuts, I just want to be in a good mood. I hope they play Country Girl, a few times on the radio. Because I need something to keep me going. It's going to be a long day at work, a doctor's appointment, and traveling. Yup, it's going to be a busy one!

And all I can think of, is <strong><em>s'mores</em></strong>. Yes, to me, they can become a late evening meal. In the heat of the summer. We make all sorts of excuses, to make these bad boys. To light a fire, stick a marshmallow on a stick, and return to our childhoods. Yes, they are heaven!

<br />And tonight, well, we're going to sit by the fire. And enjoy a few of our favorite summer treats. Any excuse to cuddle up by the fire, and enjoy some melted chocolate. Definitely a sign of summer. One that I welcome every summer! :)

<br />
<br />What's up with our country? For over a damn month now, I've been watching all these politicians bitch and gripe on TV. <strong>This party</strong> was pissed off at <strong>that party</strong>. There seemed to be very few, that were willing to give in. To give a little, so they could take a little. Everyone was being greedy.
<br />
<br />It took a total and complete meltdown, to make them move. In a "<strong>Hail Mary</strong>" move, they finally past some legislation. <strong>Nothing to really fix the problem.</strong> More of a band aid to the problem. Shit, it pissed me off. Who are these people? What makes them think this is a joke.
<br />
<br />I'm lucky. I have a damn good job. I have more than enough money to keep going. We have a nice house. All the things we really need. But most Americans don't. Frankly, most were hurting long before this. Years ago. Lost jobs, markets crashing, shit happening. The politicians just stood there. Dumb founded.
<br />
<br />Now they're bitching because the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">USA's</span> credit score was dropped. Well, why didn't they pass decent legislation. And do it in a timely dang matter? Simple. We need to pay our bills. When we show signs of weakness, we're punished. Now you have everyone in DC pointing fingers. Blaming each other. Saying that this isn't that bad. Really?
<br />
<br />Go to an average American household. It's bad. I constantly see people struggling. Barely making it. Trying to move forward. They're losing their jobs, then their homes, and barely keeping their families fed. Times up DC, time to get your shit together. Time to start working for the Americans that have elected you. They desperately need you help. You've screwed them over long enough.
<br />
<br />I will not <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">apologize</span> for this post. Maybe some of my language. But not for the topic. If we as individuals have to pay our debts, why should the government try and get a "free pass?" Why aren't these people doing their jobs? Getting their crap together, and helping the "every day family" to do better for themselves? D

<br />Today, sadly, we lost an amazing friend. Miss Mary. A true sweetheart. Someone very special to us all. After 88 years with, Miss Mary has gone to rest with our Maker. She will be truly missed. Fun times will be remembered. And her amazing soul, will always live on, with her loved ones. Our hearts go out to her family. We will miss you Miss Mary. May you rest in peace.

For a ton and a half of reasons. The cooler weather, the possibility to go home for a visit, new babies, the fun traveling, and the TV shows. I'm being serious here! There are some good shows coming. Like <em>New Girl</em>...

<br />Yes, I'm excited to see this new FOX show. It just looks like a funny show! One that is totally <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">relatable</span>. And will have my attention. Something that will take my mind off of real life. And isn't that why we watch TV? To forget about our troubles, even for just a few minutes. So I'm anxiously awaiting the Fall lineup. This is one show that I'll be tuning into. How about you?

The weather has definitely cleared up. D always says, when we travel out here, we should just expect tons of rain. <strong>I LOVE the rain!</strong> But with D's work, it's not really a good thing. So we're just happy that it's cleared up.<br /><br />Yesterday, I convinced D that we should do a little shopping. Totally out of the ordinary for me. And for him. But when D was out here in June, and I was back in my hometown, he did some shopping at the Outlet Mall. And he came home with some treasures. So we ventured out yesterday. D a little dressed down, with a baseball hat, to sorta hide who he is. Because, that could have been a disaster! But we ended up having a great time. And scored some great deals. :)<br /><br />So D is off working. I'm sitting here trying to work on some gifts. The TV is tuned to watch today's events. And I'm debating calling up a good friend. Yes, today is looking up. Oh, and I decided it was time to do the <a href="http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/">Sunday Stealing</a>. Happy Sunday!<br /><br />XOXO<br /><br />♥D<br /><br />1. What has been your longest love relationship? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">My relationship with D. It's been over 3 years. Longest, most consistent relationship for us. :)<br /></span><br />2. What was the last gift that you received? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">A necklace from D. I've been wanting it forever. And he found it saved in my "Favorites" folder, on my computer. :)<br /><br /></span>3. What do you spend your extra cash on? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Usually crafting supplies. Or books. Sometimes food.</span><br /><br />4. If you could live anywhere, where would you live? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Anywhere with D. No lie! I don't really care where.<br /><br /></span>5. Who's your cell provider? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Verizon</span><br /><br />6. What's your favorite mall store? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">That's tough. But probably Hallmark. Or Forever 21.<br /><br /></span>7. What's the longest job that you've had? (No parenting does not count!) <span style="color:#cc66cc;">It depends. I've been a musician since I was 11. But I've worked at the hospital for about 8 years now.<br /><br /></span>8. If you won the lottery, who'd you call first? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">A lawyer. With my family, definitely a lawyer. Do you know what I mean?<br /></span><br />9. If you won, how would you spend your money after investments? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">I'd pay off any debts. Invest some money. Then I'd go on a fun vacation. Maybe invite some friends. And definitely do some shopping!<br /><br /></span>10. When was the last time you went to church (or a religious house)? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Just today. I really enjoy going to church. It just makes me feel better.<br /><br /></span>11. What's the biggest lie that you've heard? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Hmmm, that's tough. With my family, you hear a lot of crap. Maybe that my brother is 100% innocent...ya, and I'm God...<br /></span><br />12. When you go out with your friends, where do you go? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Usually out to eat. Or to the movies. We're pretty low key like that. We just like to hangout. Occasionally, we'll go shopping.<br /><br /></span>13. When was the last time that you cried? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Shut up! That would be Friday. I was an emotional wreck.<br /></span><br />14. What food do you hate? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">Posole, tamales, menudo. I'm not into those really ethnic foods. And my family LOVES them!<br /><br /></span>15. What do you like best about yourself? <span style="color:#cc66cc;">I have a big heart. I always try to see the best in people. And I like doing things for other people, way more than for myself.</span>♥D and Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284057790316692283noreply@blogger.com0
