The last few days have been absolutely beautiful outside. The temps have ranged from 60 to almost 75 degrees with lots of sunshine. We even headed to the beach to take our dog for a walk along the shoreline, and along the way we saw lots of motorcycles out enjoying the first warm weekend.
Of course, after we passed the first few motorcycles, Mike said that we needed to get a bike, which means he’d be part of the metric motorcycle community, which is all about cruiser customizing. A place for bikers to discuss their rides, and share pictures and videos.
The first thing Mike would add to the bike? A sidecar for our dog.
Can you believe that I’ve never seen my husband all dressed-up in a suit and tie? Not even on the day we got married, which was super casual becuase we eloped in Las Vegas.
I think it would be really nice to see him all dressed to the nines. Especially since I’ve found the Best ties at BJ Brand New Ties that match some of my new summer dresses! Made from 100% silk in some of the prettiest and most vibrant colors you’ll find, their selection begs for a night out on the town.
As much as he tries to act all rugged, Mike loves nice things and enjoys getting cleaned up and going out to a nice dinner, and if a new tie can accomplish all that, I say it’s worth the puchase!
Mike would normally describe me as partly cloudy with a chance of severe thunderstorms, high winds, and hail. I changed my medications from Lexapro to a combination of Effexor and Xanax (as needed – I love when doctors prescribe things as needed) a few weeks ago and didn’t tell him, just to see if he would see a change in my moods, and yesterday he described me as 70 and sunny!
Yes, I think that describes me perfectly.
In other news, I really enjoy following @jerrytaft on Twitter, hence the meteorlogical references.
While I’m contemplating my summer wardrobe and what sandals will look cute with my new sundresses, Mike is browsing 5.11 Tactical Gear because it’s time for new work boots. Just like my wardrobe, he needs a new pair of work boots when the seasons change. The big difference is that I go for fashion, while he prefers practicality. He goes the tactical route for his work boots because he loves the tough and sturdy boots he used to wear in the army and has to wear them for 24+ hours, while I just sit and look pretty in my strappy sandles and wedges.
Ollie is a little bitty weiner dog that thinks he’s a great dane and hogs more than his fair share of the bed. I’ve woken up more than once to see Mike clinging to the side of the bed because Ollie won’t make room for him to get comfortable.
Besides buying Ollie his own queen size mattress, the only solution to a good night sleep for Mike and I are large dog beds so that Ollie can sprawl out like he’s accustom to doing.
I’m partial to the Harry Barker dog beds because they come in simple shapes and colors that match our apartment, but the Bowsers dog beds, especially the Bowsers Ball, look awfully comfy, too.
So, if we do ever kick Ollie out of bed in favor of a peaceful slumber, don’t feel sorry for him, because he’ll be relaxing in his own designer dog bed.
