My Best Friend

She didn't like me to begin with and I felt so insecure around her. Now she jumps on my back and I give her help with her make-up.

Mary Ann scared the hell out of me the first day at my new job. I barely spoke and I let the kids walk all over me. She point blank stood in the teacher's lounge and told me I would last long. Her perfectly even French manicure with sparkle line across it and 5 inch heels scared me.

Then my fourth day on the job I saw her wounds and scars and I halted her that day. She looked completely different. She looks scared and in that instance things changed. She started talking to me more and more. I started telling her everything about me. We would pile up in the lounge in the afternoons and talk and goof off as long as Madame said it was okay. We would write letters to parents and then talk about our lives.

She introduced me to a whole new world of make up besides vintage. She taught me how to make more and more daily looks that were inspired by vintage but wasn't completely vintage. She expanded my wardrobe giving me things she no longer wanted or needed.

We were joined at the hip after that. We have our ups and downs. She annoys me and I annoy her. But we have each other's back in an instant no matter the circumstances. Heck our significant others are even twins. So we will be sisters soon.

Fresh Start Day 6: My Snape

Chris has always reminded me of Snape.
Snape was my favorite character long before book 7 ever came out. I had a thing for guys with long hair and crooked noses.

What people see Chris do is save the world and conquer it.

What his employees see him do is a fire people and be an ass.

What the world sees him as is a kid that got lucky and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

What his friends think he does is shake things up selfishly.

What he thinks he does is come up short with helping people.

What I see him do is love this friends and family beyond measure.  I love him beyond anything I have ever experienced.

The world wants to tear him down but I am the quiet one and trust me I am a natural red head just watch my temper shine.

Fresh Start Challenge Day 5: Endearing

1) Talk about cars all the time. Seriously my Angry Birds get excited what guys talk about cars around me.
2) Tell me you are a huge fan of something then barely know anything about it. Seriously you know all about Harry Potter but don't know who Winky is? Seriously you are a huge Alabama fan but you have no idea who Gene Stallings is?
3) Sure just because I was nice that means I want to jump your bones.
4) Sure I'll listen to your dating advice because your track is so stellar. (Cough, guy's divorced mom as well, cough)
5) Yes I love it when you exaggerate, no I don't feel like you are lying to me.

Fresh Start Challenge Day 4: Sweeping

It's rare that I sleep anything other than a negligee, a chemise or a babydoll. I usually have the matching robe. I haven't always been like this. This habit started about three years ago and it just stuck. It makes me feel luxurious even though most of mine are not expensive at all.

Fresh Start Challenge Day 3: Give

I have talked about the charities I support through the history of my blog. I like to look at what the awareness is for each month and give to those programs that way no one is left out.
