Hubby found a rain cap a few days ago while cleaning out some more of ma’s boxes in the garage. Let me tell ya, that rain hat is brand spankin’ new, still in the wrapping, equipped with a full visor, and says right on the wrapping “designed for bouffant hairstyles.” That cracked both of us up and Hubby chimed in that my hair style fit the description.

After careful inspection, and even opening the bag to have a closer look and trying it on for size…I promptly threw it in the garbage. I didn’t think much about it ‘til Hubby said…“I thought you would have put it in the truck for a rainy day.” Hmm, that’s not such a bad idea so the new rain hat has been rescued as of today and now in my safe keeping and will eventually make its way to my truck. Who knows, one day I might be very thankful for my new rain gear especially designed for bouffant doo’s.

As summer approaches with hot weather and all…I have to get my hair away from my face as I can’t stand my hair making me hot, thus the new doo. My new summer doo is now called ‘bouffant’ in our home.

While Hubby was visiting NY he called to see what I wanted him to bring back to me. I told him truthfully that “all I want is you,” I was honest and did not want anything more.

During his visit to China Town, Hubby noticed this beautiful Asian porcelain lady. I have another porcelain lady by the same artist and he knew that I absolutely love these figurines. He brought her back especially for me and I immediately found the perfect setting just for her. Hubby has the knack for finding perfect gifts for me all the time, but more than the gifts, I appreciate him for always thinking about me.

Hard Rock Cafe Game Room, Not Debbie’s Kitchen

Hubby and I go to all the Hard Rock Café restaurants no matter what city we visit from Shanghai to Seoul Korea, Maui, NYC, London, St Louis and so on. We collect memorabilia from all the places we visit and have plans to have a Hard Rock Café Game Room one day all set up with a little kitchenette, blah, blah, blah…

Now that does not mean under any circumstances that I want my kitchen to turn into Hard Rock. For those of you who don’t know how I like my refrigerator, I’ll break it down for you something like this…I don’t like anything, that’s ANYTHING on it period not even “cool” looking magnetic bottle openers from Hard Rock. Hubby has this really neat bottle opener from Hard Rock St Louis. He plays games with me from time to time to get a kick out of seeing how long it takes me to notice the newest latest and greatest gadget he put on my clean fridge. Of course I notice right away and with a little smile I take it back to “his” fridge because it’s in his garage. I don’t care what he puts on the one in his garage. He thinks I’m silly to have such a notion not to have anything on “my” fridge but that’s the way I like it and he’s okay with that.

The other day I knew he had something up his sleeve as he made a comment to the effect that his Hard Rock bottle opener could perhaps indeed be on my fridge. I didn’t think anything of it because I couldn’t see it and if it’s out of site, what’s the big deal. In my cleaning routine this week I found it! It was on top of “my” fridge way out of my site. I figure, if I can’t see it, then it’s not a problem. His bottle opener is welcome to stay on the top of my fridge and live happily ever after.

What a nice and relaxing day for Hubby and me. We slept in and pretty much just hung out here at the house today. I spent a couple hours just looking for recipes or shall I say “healthy recipes” and want to try out some new ones. I have around 8 Weight Watcher cookbooks and hopefully I found some really great meals. I’ll give a couple of them a whirl next week. We watched a nice movie tonight. Nothing major, just enjoyed each others company.

Hubby and I just finished watching Amistad. This was a colorful movie, with a gripping performance, based on a true story dating back to 1839 regarding slavery. Amistad was directed by Steven Spielberg in 1997. John Quincy Adams played by “Anthony Hopkins” plays an important roll and has a dramatic speech toward the end that brought goose bumps and tears. There were a few parts that I just could not watch during the film as it’s really hard for me to watch any type of cruelty. Fortunately those parts did not last long. I know it’s a film but I still can’t watch.

Freedom has a different meaning depending on who you ask. I am so thankful for our freedoms and don’t want to take for granted the freedoms we share. I personally don’t know what it’s like to “want” or long for “freedom” in any fashion. I’m truly blessed and that I’m thankful for.

If you have not seen this movie, it’s well worth it.

Blessings to all and goodnight.
