Husband’s Day

5 Comments

Nope, I don’t believe there’s an “Official Hallmark” day as such, but I am declaring today my Husband’s Day. At the moment I can’t remember what made me think of this today in particular, other than I love and appreciate my husband.

hubby dayI affectionately refer to him as my “Cabana Boy”—and he does a fine job at that I must say. While it’s a shared responsibility, the patience and tolerance that he has caring for his 94 y/o father who lives with us is beyond reproach.

He does the laundry (most of it being his gym clothes), he washes the dishes when I haven’t and he runs around doing errands when I can’t leave my desk (which is 96% of the time!).

Don’t get me wrong, he’s no angel. He’s a staunch conservative and is not afraid to tell you what he thinks—which is always the right way of course. He speaks loudly and doesn’t need to carry a big stick. Picture Archie Bunker in the 21st century meets the Hulk meets James Dean (hence his nickname, jmedn).

There is no such thing as “political correctness” —he tell things like they are, no hiding behind the B.S.

But if he is your friend, you will not have a more dedicated and compassionate guy on your side. He will go above and beyond for you. Just don’t betray him.

And what he does for me? He understands my quirks, my opposites (after all, he was fully aware that he was marrying a hippie-girl—peace, love and all that) and most times knows exactly what to say at the right time and how to say it. I don’t know that I would still be alive if it wasn’t for him.

But I’ll save all of the mushy, lovey-dovey stuff for Sweetest Day, or Valentine’s Day, or even for our 34th wedding anniversary in a couple of months.

I just wanted to celebrate today for him. Viva la my hubby’s day. I love ya baby!

Tabs vs Windows

Leave a Comment

So do you have a preference? Tabs vs windows? Is there a practical difference in using one over the other? I suppose I could try using tabs for awhile to see for myself but I’m currently just staying with the new window… just because.

I’m a bit antsy-pants tonite. Don’t feel like watching anything on t.v. that requires paying attention. Too late to continue working. I did get into downloading free tunes though for awhile.Edy's SF Fruit Bars

One of my fav things to snack on is (still) popsicles.  Edy’s sugar-free fruit pops are delish and they were 2 fer $5 at the store (normally $3.99 a piece!). So I bought a bunch and there was a coupon to download 10 songs for free from a site called PlayMe. Have you ever tried to think of 10 songs off the top of your head that you’d like to have but haven’t purchased? I knew there were some that I hadn’t bought yet… have heard them in the car or something, but never caught the name of the song. I’ll be darned but I was looking all over the site trying to find something that I liked to download. So I wound up getting some oldies-but-goodies… heck, I downloaded Ozzy’s Shot in the Dark, Alice Cooper – 18… ha, told you they were old. Then I finally gave up & figured I’d return when I knew what I wanted. But ya, not in the mood for much tonite.

I downloaded the newest version of Thesis for WP. Love that theme. Very customizable and from what I’ve seen so far, v.1.6 looks pretty nifty. I could play around with that for awhile I guess. Nah, requires brain use.

Put up a new set on FMG. Simple, but it was rather brain-free and actually quite relaxing. That was the idea. Felt good. In fact I noticed a couple of designs that I created and never uploaded. hmm… maybe I’ll put those together tonite. We shall see…

Anything else? OH, did I tell you that Jennie & Brian call the itty-baby-to-be Raisin? Baby Raisin . so cuuute.

Alrighty kids, later. xo

Excellent wallpapers & icons

I had to stop in for a second to drop off a couple of awesome links for wallpapers & icons. Just what I wanted to play with at 2 a.m. OH, and I finally bought the web cam that we wanted, so we can converse with visuals to Jennie & Brian on Skype (remember when we/I used to say during the Jetsons’ era, “Oh lawdy, I wouldn’t want people able to actually see me when we’re talking on the phone!) ha. Welcome to the 21st century.
