I’m sorry I skipped out on you last weekend with my Those Were the Days post.  I was a little busy!  Plus wordpress was bonking and if I didn’t stop trying to post pictures I was going to punch my computer screen.  So I give you two posts this week…all in one entry…don’t you feel loved?  I hope you don’t mind.

This first one (week 22) is kind of a continuation of my previous Those Were the Days posts.  I was asked in the comments section of that post, which photos I actually did choose from my plethora of senior pictures.

Behold…

Last week LFD made a fabulous dinner of his meatloaf and macaroni & cheese and corn on the cob.  I just have to say, for early in the season, the corn was FABULOUS!!!  So sweet and tasty.  Here’s where your input comes in.  There are different techniques within the house about how you are supposed to eat corn on the cob.  Without dwelling on the fact that LFD continues to make fun of me anytime I try to eat anything.  He has this insane fascination with my self admittedly larger than normal human teeth.  He watched as I concentrated on eating my corn.  Here are the two different methods of corn of the cob consumption in our house.

My method:

I eat my corn on the cob end-to-end style…like a typewriter…ding!!!

LFD’s method:

He eats his corn on the cob around and around and around (I need to stop saying “around”
because it makes me dizzy)…like a rolodex.

So how do you eat your corn.  Note: LF also eats her corn on the cob typewriter style..I couldn’t be prouder to pass on such a FABULOUS genetic trait!!!

Our bed has blue sheets on it.  I sleep with 2 pillows.  A little normal sized pillow that I stole from a hotel room while on a trip in college to the guys volleyball conference in Virginia (I was their manager) and (shut up its comfy, I know it’s from a hotel but I loved it and needed to have it.  And then I also sleep with a king sized pillow that I put next to me/under the top half of my body.

Last night when I went to sleep both pillows were adorned in their blue pillow cases.  This morning when I woke up the king sized pillow next to/under me was white.  As in, shed it’s pillow case some time in the middle of the night and all that was left was the pillow all nekked and stuff!!!  I don’t know how this happened.  The pillow stripped itself in the middle of the night.  And that’s not easy to do.  A king sized pillow just fits inside the pillow case and the sheets are not that easy to wiggle out of.  (These sheets we have that I bought this last time are not the best on earth and are kind of like glorified sand paper.)

So I don’t know how this happened, but apparently there are strippers in our bed now and not the kind that a man would get any pleasure out of.  It’s so weird, I have no idea how this happened.

P.S. It is now 7:30 and LF just woke up.  She went to sleep at 8:30 last night.  That’s 11 hours people…ELEVEN!!!  Holy crap!!!

 

Today is a very special day.  Today hubbie turns 38.  When I met hubbie he was only 26.  A mere lad!!!  And still today, he is still so very young!!!  Our lives have changed so much since he and I met in 1996.  He and I have been through so much and survived so much.  Today I wish him a happy birthday!!!  Today I love him more than I did yesterday and an endless amount more than the day I picked him up in that bar in Yonkers.  Tonight we (the three of us) went out to dinner with his mom and dad, my mom and my godmother.  We feasted on steak and celebrated his life.  I am so lucky to have him in my life!!!  LF is so lucky to have him for a daddy!!!  Happy Birthday hubbie!!!  Here’s to many more!!!  You are my rock!!!  I love you!!!

And I leave you dear readers with some snap shots of the first few months we met.  Hands off ladies…he’s mine!!!  Allllllllmine!!!!

I beleive this is the first picture taken of us!!!  It was a month after we met.  It was taken on my 20th birthday!!!  I loved…LOVED….LOVED…those overalls…I lived in them my junior and senior years of college!!!

 

This was the night of my junior ring night!!!  I think I told DreaBea about point two seconds before this about a monumental event!!!

This was ummm…at the bar…on ring night…but that’s not my beer in my hand…I was holding it for someone else…no really…I was!!!

And this one just sums up hubbie!!!  He’s just so silly!!!  And cute!!!

Can you guess what year comes next?  Huh huh huh…can ya can ya can ya?  If you said senior year…you would be correct…and you know what that means…oooooooodles of pictures to show you…and wouldn’t you be expecting there to be more than one picture?  I mean do you realize senior year means the senior PROM picture?  Can you just not wait to see that picture and my shnazzy dress?  OH GOD…I can’t believe I am going to post that thing for the world to see!!!  Please promise you’ll still love me after I show it to you!!!  We’ll start easy.  First I’ll show you my senior picture.

There were so many pictures to choose from, I wasn’t sure which to choose.  There were 22 proofs in my album from my senior photo shoot.  I’ll show you a selection of 4 of them.

And no I give you the piece de resistance…my prom picture!!!  I met this guy two weeks before my prom and he went with me and we were together for nine months.  And then I realized he was really close to a girl “friend” and most likely they would wind up together…they DID wind up together and got pregnant and then married and then pregnant two more times that I know of and OH MY HELL I’m glad I dumped him!!!  But hey, check out the prom picture and that oh so lovely dress!!! Ugh!!!

Puffy sleeves, a big fat bow in front and layered satin fabric that graduates to longer in back than the front and pink shoes to complete the look.  What more could you want from a 1994 prom dress???  And no, I didn’t lose my virginity this night, nor with him!!!  Thank God again!!!
