I AM a Domestic Goddess.

I won’t lie. I love presents. Presents come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes they are for the giver as much, or even perhaps more, than the receiver. Saturday morning was one of these times…

Leaving the house to go to Cracker Barrel, where I was to try grits for the first time (and maybe the last) the post-person stopped by the house with a package for him. He grabbed it as we got into the car, looked at the address and smiled. I looked over to see “3WL” as the return address and new it was my lucky day… or his…

I suppose it was actually my lucky day, as while we were at breakfast he grabbed the pegboard game off of the table and said, “We will both play, whoever gets the least pegs wins… what does the winner get?” I looked at him and said, “A 30 minute, no sex attached, backrub.” He shrugged ok… although I was sure if he had won I could have cut the backrub short, broken my own rule, and gotten out of the full 30 minutes… however this is all just speculation, as I won… yesssssssss.

We went home and it was time for me to open and model my new outfit. Just the one that I had wanted: “Scantily Fishnet”… although when I had visions of parading around in it, I hadn’t just finished eating most of my breakfast and part of his… luckily (and as always) anytime I might feel slightly uncomfortable I can rely on one thing… men are blinded by pussy… it just doesn’t matter how I feel… he will be happy. And he was.

I have decided that as I will be staying here for a while (though the time is passing quickly) we can’t go out to eat every night. It’s not like I need to be treated to a date daily. We have taken a couple of evenings and cooked in. With the additional time I had during the day while he was at work yesterday I compiled a menu for last night of Pecan Encrusted Salmon; Spinach, Apple, and Bacon Salad; and Roasted Red Potatoes. For dessert we had some left over Peach Cobbler I had made the previous evening…

He looked at me the other night while we were eating dinner and said, “Let me get this straight… you are phenomenal in bed, you bake cakes and you cook great dinners. What’s not to love?” Umm… yeah… pretty much I rock.

It has been really nice to have this time away from everything. Trying to gather perspective and figure out what I should be doing. Moving out of my soon-to-be-married mom’s house is a top priority. I stayed with my mom briefly before moving to France, but prior to that it has been years since I lived with my parents, and as much as I love them, I would like to keep a little distance.

Finding the job that will finance this planned move is also an important factor. We’ll see…

On a total and complete side note, I can not sing the praises of Coppertone Sunless Tanning Lotion enough. After hearing someone refer to my former roommate as “alligator skin” I decided that I shouldn’t be spending so much time trying to get a tan. This lotion is awesome and goes on evenly and looks natural.*
