Different and Fun

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of romance and love. I guess that’s why when I opened my email a little earlier from a friend to ask me what he could get his wife for their upcoming anniversary I wasn’t surprised. He mentioned that it was their 5th and that the traditional 5th anniversary gift was wood and he wasn’t real sure what to do.   He wanted ideas as to what he could do to go along with the dinner that he was cooking for her- all of her favorites, I might add.

Since his wife is my cousin, I know just how fun she is, so I told him he should have some fun with the wedding anniversary gifts. I sent him the picture that you see on your left and told him that I thought he should order it for her, but instead of wrapping it up and giving it to her on their anniversary that he should serve her dinner while he’s wearing it. He loved the idea, and said that he was going to go for it.

Oh how I wish I was a fly on the wall for that moment.

30 Days- Day 27

Day 27-  Your favorite place, in great detail.

My favorite place isn’t somewhere that is geographically specific, but the beach is by far my favorite place.   I love the wind, the waves, the smell of the salt water, the calmness I feel when I’m staring out at the vast water in front of me.    

If I feel stressed- it’s the water that can calm me every, single time.  My favorite time of the day at the beach is early in the morning or in the late afternoon as the sun is going down.   I don’t like the distraction of lots of people, but instead thrive on the solitude.

In Spite of Everything

I have a friend who recently lost her long time job as an administrative assitant when the company she worked for went belly up. I feel really bad for her, especially since she’s a single mother of three and at this point she’s been unable to find work in her field. I sent her a message last night suggesting that maybe she check into sales job as something to do until she can get work in her field. I’m sure she would be great, plus any income coming in is better than none. She liked the idea and said that she may end up with a new career. I love her positive attitude in spite of everything.
