E For Effort…

What’s your definition of romantic?

There is no one, real, definition of romance, as far as I’m concerned!

Love displays itself in many ways, and romance could be considered one of them, but as soon as we try separating the idea of romance from all the other aspects of love within an intimate relationship, everything suffers.

I so wish folks could understand that if a person jumps past the important parts of love, to get to the good stuff, so to speak.

I don’t hold to any specific rule for successful romance, but rather, observe my husbands general attitude toward me, in our daily lives.

While we do not have money for romantic dinners, outings and/or vacations, nor would there be any room for fancy gifts inside this old RV, even if we could afford them, an attitude of love and tenderness makes all the difference!

Regardless of what my husband does to express romance, the fact that he thought about making the effort to win my affections, is why he always wins my heart.

Romance will be dead

if there’s no love in the bed!

Here, have a cookie…

Is This a Test???

I chose a burger, not because I want to go out, but because I wanna cut a guy some slack if he ain’t got it in the food prep department… us girls just want to sit down for a hot minute, so if ya wanna chuck some frozen nuggets in the microwave, pop a beer, and squirt some ketchup in the broad vicinity of said nuggets, we good!!!

If you think I am going to be drawn and attracted to my man, based on works, well in this instance, YES! I say this because it is not the actual works at all, but if he is willing to be there in the dirty, tired, and hard times… well, then I feel Valuable to him. He will know me enough to know that my heart is held by attentive hands, not spendy ones!

See that wasn’t so bad…

Here, have a cookie…

I promised, remember…
