You guys probably know as well as me that PA is tops on the list for my DH... I've been SLACK, relative to MYSELF,lately...doing just the basics..FOUNDATION, CONCEALER (of course), BLUSH, MASCARA.. Yesterday I got myself REAL PRETTY.. AND, MAN..I got LOTS of EXTRA ATTENTION...all day long... 
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

So, NO, my DH is NOT particularly ATTRACTED to NATURAL BEAUTY... He likes for ME to "FIX UP" for HIM... I was in DENIAL when I thought differently... Makes sense...when WE were FIRST DATING, I would "FIX UP", wear something special, put on that special cologne...you know, the whole MATING RITUAL STUFF..  That needs to continue...shouldn't have stopped... This is the story of OUR RELATIONSHIP..not necessarily true of others, I know...

We had SO MUCH FUN with Rella, even washing dishes was great! AJ is big on natural beauty. During the A I dolled myself up, trying to out-glam the OW, as well as not look like a corpse. One of the first times I began to suspect my real H might be back was a few weeks into our real recovery, when he said, "You don't have to keep wearing that stuff if you don't want to, you know. I think you're beautiful just the way you are."  Everybody is different, and that's just fine, but it sure was good to hear my DH again. I'm not off the hook in the PA category, by any means. Even on the truck I try to look pretty and smell pretty as much as possible. Fortunately AJ thinks I'm cute even when I'm sweaty and scraggly and in need of a shower. (Probably because that gets him started thinking about showers, and then it's only a short step to taking showers....but I digress.) He gets me body wash and body spray and stuff, once in a great while a little perfume, but all so carefully chosen. I appreciate all the effort he takes. Well he also "deposited lots of love units in our marriage" today - sorry but that is our new favorite saying, lololol. He took me to such a BEAUTIFUL place, and something he knew I would really enjoy. I'll post my pix after I get them sent to me from my phone.

I think you're beautiful just the way you are." I CAN ONLY WISH... I was looking at those UGLY DARK CIRCLES under my eyes this morning...and then VOILA, with the handy, dandy miracle CONCEALER..not at trace.. Fortunately AJ thinks I'm cute even when I'm sweaty and scraggly and in need of a shower. Again, I CAN ONLY WISH... Yesterday, I came back from walking outside, doing my workout and my H says.."You smell like the outdoors"...Well, DUH..(rolling eyes icon) I was going to say, "you have it sooo easy"..but then again, I don't drive one of them big old trucks...
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

He gets me body wash and body spray and stuff You mean he's the reason I have to wade through a maze of product bottles every time I try to take a shower at your house?

OH MY...THE "SHOWER GEL" OBSESSION..my secret to the EVER-DELICIOUS BODY AROMA...Yes, my H "smells on me".... This started with me since D-DAY... I've been known to have a collection of up to 5 bottles..lined up in my shower stall..using a different one each day...it's AROMATHERAPY, LADIES... I thought it was just me but the other day I almost laughed out loud at another lady in the grocery store gawking and obsessing over the COLLECTION on the soap aisle... I've resorted lately to buying ONE bottle there at THE GROCERY STORE, using that until it's EMPTY... I confess that it is definitely NOT working for me... Part of my JOIE DE VIVRE is GONE... Very, very soon I'll be back to B&B Works... Especially with me beginning to smell like the OUTDOORS...

My daughter and I were in b&bw the other day. I don't remember what it was but they had something that reminded us of a sugar cookie. MMMM!

HERO There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
MARIAH CAREY This is why I LOVE MARIAH..the words to her songs seem to speak DIRECTLY to ME...

Mimi,
Here is a sign of your influence.
I am going out right now to buy flowers to plant in my yard.
Last year, I was too distraught because of the A(still unknown to me at the time), the STD issue and the impending D-day.
And often times, I have said that it would be better NOT to spend the money.
NOT THIS YEAR!!!! I want a beautiful yard to reflect the hard work going on in my marriage and my soul. I am trusting God for a beautiful, fully recovered marriage and I want the whole world to see it.
God Bless You, WH2LE

You are a strong, inspiring woman...thanks for all you do but most of all, WHO YOU ARE!
Hang in there! Hugs to ya...

Jesus warned "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad" (Matt. 12:30). In the fight against evil there is no middle ground, no gray area, no neutrality. Those who are not actively and vigorously fighting against evil are helping evil to triumph.

And Mimi, I never email folks here. But today, I have just received my 28th email from concerned posters.
Don't give up. We need you.

{{{{{{{{Mimi}}}}}}}}} You should not leave MB, and I mean that.
I am in Texas, on my way HOME!!! I am very excited!!!!!!!!!! (And Monday is AJ's birthday. I won't really be able to buy him anything, not that that is any obstacle to a creative gal like myself, but I did let him buy a Native American flute, which I will help him learn to play.)
