Because they don't happen everyday, I get all giddy when they do:)
My husband is a romantic at heart. The man has no choice seeing as how he grew up with 4 older sisters. Needless to say he knows how to treat a lady...lucky me:)
The other day I was hustling around trying to get all the girls' things together as well as my own before we left. As I'm rushing to get to the door, I stop where I always hang my keys and instead of seeing my keys, I see a CD. On the CD were the words "I Love You". I stopped in my tracks and smiled.
So, now I'm even in more of a hurry to get to the car because I want to see what's on this CD my hubby made me.
I strap both girls in, load the car with bags and pop the CD in. Off we go.
There's only one song on this new CD - I Need You by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
WOW! My hubby sure does know how to impress me:)
Has a special person in your life ever done something romantic that took you by surprise? I'd love to hear about it!

If You Hate It...Change It
I overheard a conversation between two people the other day...okay, so I was eavesdropping, that's beside the point.
Anyway, there was a lady complaining to a man. She said, "I hate being fat." (BTW, she was NOT fat by any means.)
The man said, "No you don't."
Her head snapped back. "What? I do to."
He replied, "If you hated it, you would do something about it."
Very good point. I really believe that could apply to anything in life. Personally, I hate having a messy house all the time, so I've decided to spend more time cleaning...now if I could just find that spare hour or two a day.
I also hate working my day job, so I'm taking steps to fix that:) Soon, I should be able to stay home and be a full-time author and mother.
So, is there something you hate? How do you plan to fix it? I'm offering up a prize from my goodie stash to one person who leaves me a comment!

Some People...
We took my daughter to the zoo this past Friday for her 3rd birthday. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather. The sun was shining, a soft breeze joined us for the day and the humidity was low...which makes for a good hair day:)
So, back to the people I referred to. As we were walking in, there was a lady in front of us pushing her kids in a two-seater stroller. She wore one of those ruffled sundress that hits just below the tush. Well, remember that nice breeze I mentioned? Yeah, you guessed it, everyone walking behind her got a show. The dress blew halfway up her back SEVERAL times and she DID NOTHING to stop it. She didn't try to hold it down, she just kept walking as if her backside wasn't hanging out on display.
After this showing, we went into the aquarium. My daughter is standing at the glass taking in all the colorful fish. She's amazed and turns to go get my hubby who is standing back with the stroller. Some man trips over her, knocks her down, glances over his shoulder to see what happened AND KEPT WALKING! Granted, my daughter walked in front of him, but he didn't apologize or see if she was okay. Grrr.....
I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. Actually, I love people watching (refer to the lady in the dress:) but when people are downright rude, that's a bit ridiculous.
So, do you all have any stories regarding strangers? Rude people, strange people, careless people? Anything? Let's hear it!
Hugs,
Jules

Summer's Slipping Away
Don't you hate when the department stores start putting coats and sweaters out when the temp is still 90? I can't even begin to think about bundling up, much less purchasing layers of long-sleeved clothing.
Having said that, I will admit my favorite time of year is fall. I LOVE the crisp evenings spent at the local football games. There's a certain autumn smell in the air, isn't there? Can you believe football starts in just a few weeks? Of course, if you're not a fan, you may not have been keeping track:) I, however, love the sport at all levels.
School will be starting back soon as well which always seems like the end of the road for summer. Is it me or does summer seem to get shorter and shorter each year? I swear, every time I turn around it's cold outside. I really, really hate being cold. If the temps drop below 60, I'm turning on the heat...drives hubby crazy;)
So, anyway, what's your favorite time of year? Do you like the sunny days of June and July, the bite in the winter air as December approaches or are you like me and you enjoy the relaxing, cooler evenings of September and October?
