I'm no different now as an adult. If you know me, or read my blog long enough you know what I like to do. I play in the woods instead of clubbing on the weekends or hosting Candle Light Suppers. ( all you BBC watchers know what I mean LOL)
My Idea of dinner out |
My Idea of a romantic get away |
No need for four start hotels and fancy restaurants for me. No goose liver crap and over priced fermented fruit drinks. Give me a bag of chips, a bottle of pop and a hot dog on a stick over a fire and I'm good to go.
Hmm this is his rig, why am I doing the work? |
It's a good thing my husband is man enough not to need a girly girly. Not that a girly girly is easy to handle by any means I can play that role if need be, but rather be myself. All the same he is OK with me having as much dirt under my finger nails as he has. He loves me dressed in boots, flannel and driving a lifted rig. He is also not intimidated by the fact I can out cuss many sailors. He does tend to call me a potty mouth from time to time.
My girly girl side |
I love who I am and think It made me a better mom to my boys in the long run.I was not afraid to get down and dirty and teach them to make mud pies. I love being one of the guys. I find I do a lot of things that are male dominated activities. I have never had an issue with being accepted as one of the guys. which makes it so much easier to do the activities I want to. No need to prove myself.
I remember at at friends engagement party I walked in and I hear "WOW you de-manafi well" I think it was the first time in the three or four years we had known each other that he had seen me in slacks, dress shirt and makeup LOL No I did not find this offensive LOL
Ok off to color my hair shhhhhhhhhh don't tell the guys!
So well put I could not of said it better, being your mom yes on the little dress for the little girl but love who you grown into and love who you are even in the jeans and booths. ( I do have a nice dress that would look great on you) LOL..
ReplyDeleteLOL You always gave it a valiant effort to get me in to a dress! :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL. My mum used to try getting me in pretty dresses too. No way. I was also given girly toys but much preferred playing with my train set or wading through mud.
ReplyDeleteI hate buying shoes, but bags - oh my. I have dozens of beautiful soft leather bags in all colours of the rainbow. I'm addicted to buying bags. :)
LOL Shirley! bags are great huh? My husband thinks I have a problem. I keep telling him it makes me a normal female! LOL
