Friday Favorites! Week 5

 

 For this week's installment of the HV Nestie Blog Challenge the prompts are:

• Favorite (or most prized) possession (must be an object, not including photos)
• Favorite holiday
• Favorite gift you've ever received or given (life doesn't count)

 1) Favorite possession:
My engagement and wedding rings. Not-so-funny story here. Just this morning I thought I lost my engagement ring. I got Isabella ready for school, put on my coat and gloves and headed out the door. Dropped her off, then headed to the post office to pick up mail for the office. Hooray for payday! Pulled off one glove and there was only a wedding band. No engagement ring.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? OMG?!?!?!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOO!
I always wear them together. Always. As a matter of fact, without my engagement ring, my wedding  band just falls off because of my weight loss. It's an eternity band so it can't be sized. I can add the little balls to the inside like my engagement ring has but haven't done it yet. AND my engagement ring has 2 of those wretched little balls soldered into it but is still a bit loose in the winter months.
FUCK ME! WHERE IS MY RING?!?!?
I called my husband in a frenzied panic. Turns out that I never had it on in the first place. Duh, Margie. Now, added to my long list of things to do this weekend is sizing my damn rings. UGH.

2) Favorite holiday:

Without question, my favorite holiday is Christmas. Sometimes people find this odd because my birthday is 3 days before Christmas. I suppose it's because those people assume that I've had a lifetime of being one-gifted. That's not the case here, I'll spare you the details of my childhood for now. LOL. Any old way, I love Christmas.

3) Favorite gift ever received or given:
In 2009 we did some construction and remodeling. Is that a weird thing to consider a gift?

"My" new kitchen and dining area

Our new living room



But most importantly, MY dressing room.



 The dressing room is a small addition built onto the house just for me. Those amazing closets are all mine. It's mine. All mine. And I love it so. I get dressed in there every morning. I put my makeup on and do my hair at my table. LOVE.
