25 things every man in love should have

I was organizing one of my drawers today and found a xeroxed copy of it in one of my folders. I thought I might share this--here goes!

HAVE.....

1. A medicine cabinet devoid of old girlfriend's mascara, lipstick and birth control pills.

2. A bed on which the sheets have been changed at least once this season.

3. The self-restraint not to read your journal, should he discover it.

4. A vocabulary that comfortably contains the words commitment, marriage and children.

5. The memory of the first woman he loved- his second grade teacher.

6. A knowledge of the female anatomy that transcends P-----y centerfolds.

7. The ability to talk to your boss, your sister and your aunt Sally about something other that himself.

8. A shirt or sweater or jacket or jeans-so great you want to steal it.

9. A kissing technique that's been updated since high school.

10. The patience to watch your favorite weepy movie without breaking into loud guffaws.

11. An interest he's developed because of you.

12. An interest he maintains (like model trains, not another woman) despite you.

13. A way of introducing you that doesn't depend on the word my.

14. A picture of you as a kid that he thinks is really, really cute.

15. At least one female friend he hasn't slept with.

16. At least one male friend who's happily married.

17. Either great ideas for how to arrange the furniture or no idea at all.

18. The knack of buying you clothing you're not ashamed to wear out of the house.

19. A speaking relationship with your family.

20. At least one pair of underwear without stains, holes or a droopy seat.

21. A CD that always gets you in the mood.

22. A set of headphones for the ones that don't.

23. A past that stays there.

24. A sense of what he'd do with his life if you weren't in it.

25. The conviction that, however wonderful his alternatives, he'd rather be with you.

Okay that's it for now and tomorrow will be part II--25 things every man in love should know.

Photo Shoot

What a big sigh of relief!! My photo shoot just wrapped up and it wasn't that bad--I had been such a wreck this past few days. Actually it was fun. The photographer was nice and took a lot of pictures just in case.... We did it in the back and thank God the weather is just perfect. It will be out this Friday.

Now I can concentrate on making more stuff for my craft show this coming weekend. I have started making key rings and novelty belts and will be adding them on the site soon.

It is so beautiful outside. I wish I have time to just sit and read today but alas I can't because I am running behind schedule. Well maybe just a few minutes!

Taking it Easy

My newspaper interview had been postponed for next Tuesday. I got a little reprieve. I decided to take it easy yesterday before tackling some orders that came in. My left arm was a little bit stiff as I woke up on my left side. I might have slept that way the whole time.

I got a visit from Mr. Turtle while I was reading yesterday. He passes by once in a while and I wish I can just clean that stuff off his back but it is better to leave him alone. Every time I got close he would retreat back in his shell. I let him be until he decided to go back to the lake where a family of ducks was playing. I love this time of day when I can have some peace and quite and just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book.

Later in the afternoon I went back out to rest--my left arm was better. I was mesmerized when I looked up. All these branches silhouetted against the darkening sky and I could hear a flock birds flew over and squirrels scurrying from tree to tree. So peaceful!

How time flies. It is already 3:30. I will organized my workspace because if I don't get on top of things stuff gets piled on my cutting table and it can get overwhelming to put things away later on. That's when I feel so helpless and don't know where to start. When I am in a hurry to finish a project that's when everything goes haywire. I have to get in to the habit of putting things where they belong as soon as I am done with them. Easier said than done but I have gotten better.
I have to get going--maybe I can make one bag before I start to get ready for my daughter's Musical Theater Recital tonight.

Will be featured in local Newspaper

Okay I haven't been posting here lately. I am caught up and more organized than a few weeks ago so I will be posting more often. I have been sort of burned out lately but a phone call a few minutes ago shook me out of it. I got a call from my local newspaper and asked if they could do a story on me and my biz plus a photo. I was shocked and when I heard "picture" alarm bells rang in my ears and I declined. I have been trying to lose weight and haven't gotten to where I want to be and I look terrible in pictures lately. I get very self conscious. Maybe they can retouch my face somewhat and make it more angular--well it won't hurt to ask! Anyway, common sense kicked in and I would be demented to refuse--think about it--free advertising! Who cares if I need to lose weight (I have been good lately, mind you) and this is heaven sent. So I called this nice gentleman back and set up a shoot this Friday morning. Ooh I have to do my nails....
