No. I want it like this
Remember the You Tube video of my cute boy getting dressed in the Tuxedo? Here’s part II. Click here to watch the You Tube Video. Did you see that — his older brother, at the end, who just couldn’t keep his hands off him? I deal with it all the time.

What Not to Wear: Yoga pants are looking better everyday
“I don’t want anyone touching your hair. Just wear it curly until I get back.†This, I hear from my hair stylist, when I learn he will be in Vegas for a hair show — before the black tie event on Saturday. My hair looks good – when the wind is blowing just right. Except for the crush he has on my husband, Lanny is vital: he has for ten years consistently NOT given me that “just had a haircut look.†I just don’t have time for all this “fashion†stuff.

How did we meet?
New Year’s Eve. No date. No boyfriend. And, I had no hang-ups about it. There was not going to be a pity party over that. “This could be an opportunity,” I thought. My girlfriend and I were one of the only few people left on campus for Winter break at college. She lived in an apartment building — and she said some neighbors were passing out a flier for a New Year’s Eve Party. So, why not go? We went. There was this guy there I had met briefly before when he was a customer at the bank I worked at. You see, I was working as a bank teller…
