    My Favorite Color is Chrome

    Ft Lewis had a small Motorcycle show this weekend. And before my headache knocked me to the couch, I managed to go try my hand at shooting some chrome. I love Chrome on bikes, and I love the curves, and lines of the pipes and engines. I do have a weakness though. I forget when my brain slips into photographer mode, to step back and take a few normal snapshots too.  Ooops. Click thumbnails to embiggify.

    V is For Valor

    I mentioned a while back that my husband earned an award while over in Afghanistan. At the time I didn't have the whole story, and it wasn't official yet. However, I do now, and it is. He received copies of it yesterday, since he won't be here for the ceremony. He'll receive the originals when he gets back from school. I'm very glad I didn't know then. I was torn between hugging him, clobbering him, or doing...

    In Honor of Shark Week

    The death knights at  Death’s Rise care about sharks too. So much in fact, they needed blood samples to research (or something). So, I, being the animal lover I am, helped attain them. I tried asking nicely. But, that didn’t go well. Surfing was fun though! Oh, yeah…she has two daggers now, ya see that? That’s right, full on assassination rogue right there. Stealth, poisons, mutilate…yummy. ...

He and I

He's Perfect

I decided to watch Wife Swap tonight after mentioned it at LJ. The first episode was a family of side show performers where the wife did everything for the family, and the husband expected this, the other the husband placed the wife on a pedastal and did the majority of the work at home as well as outside. Watching the side show guy with his attitude about “womans work” and the other guy doing everything for his made me think. I couldn’t stand to let my husband wait on me hand and foot regularly. I also couldn’t stand for him to expect me to do all the “womans” work. he’s my perfect mate. He’ll give me a break any time I ask by getting the kids off to school and letting me sleep, or making a quick meal if I’m too tired or frazzled, he’ll do household things here and there when asked. He doesn’t EXPECT anything, yet appreciates everything.

He doesn’t question my choices, or demand an accounting of every penny I spend. He trusts that I’ve taken care of our financial responsibilities before I buy impulse items, and doesn’t question. He never questions my choices in friends, or put me on any kind of leash. Even if he doesn’t like someone I am friends with, he says nothing. And when things have gone badly he’s there to comfort me, or listen to me vent without an I told you so. He doesn’t want expensive toys, except for his dream motorcycle, and because he is who he is I want to grant him that. He’s always believed in me, and supported me in anything I’ve wanted to do. Sometimes I wonder just what I’ve done to deserve this man. Whatever it was I’m glad I did it. And I hope to continue doing it. He doesn’t need to give me diamonds and roses, or anything fancy, and even though he has, I’d feel like the most spoiled, pampered princess in the world just because he loves me.

Post #2 for today. I had a hard evening with the girls fighting. I got so fed up, and needed smokes anyhow, that I just grabbed my coat and keys and went to the shopette. Don’t worry, The oldest is legally allowed to be at home with a sibling unattended now. As I was coming home, I had to smile. This song came on the radio. It’s so true for Ken…God I miss him.

You’re My Best Friend – Tim McGraw

I never had no one
I could count on
I’ve been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin’
So tired of searchin’
‘Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin’
I’d never known
And for the first time
I didn’t feel alone

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You’re right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend (my best friend)
You’re my best friend (my best friend)

Hunny saw me as a redhead for the first time today…judging by his reaction, I think it was a successful change…

“It looks HOT! I can’t to find out if my new flaming red head is as hot as she looks.hehehe”

and…

Hubby (12/10/2005 11:04:45 AM): DAMN
Me (12/10/2005 11:04:55 AM): what?
Hubby (12/10/2005 11:05:15 AM): ya look even hotter on cam than in the pic

I think I’ll stay a redhead, and damn if I’d have known I’d get that reaction I would have done it years ago. I have wanted this for years. As long as I can remember. I was blonde as a child, and then went brunette naturally. But I retained the semi fair skin tone, and always looked pale with my brown hair unless I had a good tan. My uncle’s kids are both redheads. Their dad was my dad’s brother, both were redheads, both married brunettes, and I’m the only one that didn’t naturally have red hair out of us 3 kids. It drove me nuts.

So, I figured as long as I am going through my self improvement phase I’d just go for it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right? Besides If people can have their hair died black with purple hilites, I can be red with blonde highlights…lol!! Thank you all for your supportive comments!!!
