Guess what. I was visiting with my Aunt Jean yesterday and I found out that one of my cousins reads this blog and I didn’t even know it! So, Rene, this is my shout out to you to tell you to comment! Ha ha! Wish you were here. I’m hoping to see all your siblings tonight, but I’m having a great time with just your parents.

And let this be a message to any of my other relatives/friends/strangers who read my blog…let me know you’re around! I like it. 🙂

That Grosses Me Out

Jeans from Gap

JCrew Shirt

Do you ever have food that you like sometimes, but other times just kind of grosses you out? Chicken is like this for me. I would say I like chicken, but every once in a while I get a piece that I just can’t finish. I like my chicken real thin and if there’s even a hit of funny business (like a piece of fat that I didn’t see) going on, I’m out. For Bob, it’s eggs.

Well, last night my sister Jamey and her husband Tristan were over. Tristan told me that he’s like this with Tuna fish. I can see that. In fact, I’ve probably been grossed out by tuna before.

Well, I deal with being grossed out by stopping eating whatever it is and give it to Bob. 🙂 Husbands are good for that. But Tristan told me he just eats it faster. Spoken like a true boy.

This made me laugh out loud. He’d rather force it down than stop eating. And I have been quoted with saying, “I don’t even want to swallow what’s in my mouth.”

Which do you do?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is probably my favorite holiday. But this year, I’m totally neglecting it. The only person getting a present today is Bella. She needs a new crate. She outgrew her puppy one. I may talk Bob into looking at new rings for him. He lost his a few months back and we haven’t replaced it yet. That does sound like a fun evening.

Wanna know why I like V-day? Because my mom always spoiled me with gifts! She was always my Valentine. She even got us chocolate covered strawberries this year. Isn’t she sweet!

Then, 6 years ago, I had my first real valentine: Bob. And do you know what? He proposed Valentine’s weekend! And that made me love it even more! My first Valentine’s day with a boyfriend and I get engaged. What a great holiday!

Do you love it too?
