Love and Recessonista

I was lucky enough to have Mr. Tim all to myself tonight, and I tried to take full advantage of that by doing some much needed car shopping, but that was a major fail. So I will continue to drive Tim’s lovely ‘94 Grand Marquis for now (did I mention the A/C broke last week? Oh, and that only one window works? And that it was incredibly hot out today? And that when I got home from work Tim told me I looked like “poop” because I was so sweaty from being in his car for 15 minutes and I kind of exploded at him? #fail)
I made it up to myself by putting on a cute outfit and making him take me out for dinner with promises of car shopping tomorrow. Doing the necessary outfit analyzing, I was proud of myself when I realized what an inexpensive outfit I had put together.

Outfit – Cami, Lady Dutch – $7, jeans, Dynamite – $30, Blazer, Rickis – $40, shoes, Wal-Mart – $5 (I am a serious bargain shopper – outfit total $87, including purse which I got for a gift exchange at Christmas from Lindsay)

You know that thought that you should marry someone who loves you more than you love them? Well, I told Tim it wasn’t true for us because I love him more than he loves me, and Tim said that he does love me more, but that he keeps it inside when we are in public. I am not a BIG PDA’er but I sure do have some of that in me – I enjoy a good hand-hold and a quick smooch here and there. What’s the point of loving someone a lot and not showing it? Not that he doesn’t show it, he is a very loving guy and does cook for me on a regular basis (the key to my heart is most definitely through my stomach). Also, it was him that asked if we could spend the evening sitting on the balcony drinking wine, eating bread and cheese, light our “fresh cut grass” candles and listen to Michael in the first place. Win! While we were out there enjoying the gorgeous evening, I informed Tim that Michael (yes, we are on a first name basis because we had dinner together in September. NOT really, his table was across from mine while we were eating. Big deal to me.) is on my “list.”Tim said he didn’t have to worry because Michael would run away from me when he meets me because he would be scared of my “presence.” He went on to say that he “know[s] it’s true because I was when I first met you.” Aww! Also, Tim said he would beat him up if he made a move.

Anyways, all in all it was a great evening spent with my most loved one, and I hope many, many more are to come.
