Erotica Nudes

B and I have our anniversary coming up next month and we have some "big" plans (at least in our minds).  She has set up a full make-up session for me and her that morning so I will be all day en femme.  That sounds divine.

I rented a bed and breakfast room for the night.  We were going to have professional pictures done of me and her dressed and in lingerie, but after figuring the cost, we are going to do the pictures ourselves.  The hardest part is poses (at least I think that).  So I have been looking at different sites with pictures of women dressed and not that are tasteful.  In the "not" category we can describe this as Erotica.

Erotica would be tasteful nudes (or almost all nude).  The mystery, the sensuality. No toys, no penetration. Just the beautiful body.  CDJanie has talked about doing a nude photo for a couple weeks now and what it means to her. 

I ran across another article today here.  She really pushed the button I have been trying to find.  The question is out there.  Where are the transgender/transvestite erotica?  I can easily get porn.  But I want to rise above the sludge and find real beauty.  That is my plan on our anniversary.

Gender Identity Disorder in 4 yr old

Here is a story of a 4yr old (now 5) that was born a boy and now identifies as a girl.  He has the full support of his family and his primary school. 

Here is my favorite line from the mom:
She admitted: "I would love to have my son back, but I want him to be happy. If this is the route he wants to take - if this is what makes him happy - then so be it. I would rather him have my full support.

It's a good story and I hope you read ALL of it, because I know your next (or at least one of your next) questions.  What happens when he gets older.  Here is her answer:

"When he gets a bit older, to Key Stage 2, then obviously the law changes and there will be more difficulties surrounding the bathroom issue, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it - it may be that Zach will use the staff toilets.

You might think the parents as naive or ignorant, but in this case (as in many) I think the parents are the ones best to make a decision.  Comment either way.  I would like to hear your thoughts.

Awesome Night Out (Part 2)

Part 2.....

The show (Turnabout at 1851Club where men dress as women and women dress as men) was supposed to start at 10.  The club is a hole-in-the-wall bar with a space for dancing or shows, a few tables, a single pool table and two small bathrooms.  I wanted to play pool (because I can ROCK the pool table), but the people playing were either too drunk to play or just bad pool players.  So I skipped the pool table.

Of course the show didn't start at 10.  It was closer to 10:30.  Not a lot to say.  Guys and girls (as girls and guys) lip-syncing to top 40 songs and collecting money for LGBT charities such as a teen suicide prevention program. They love to perform and do a good job.  Think of it as jazzercize. :o)

Side note to the night.  Maybe SAD note would be more appropriate.  Last time we went to this club (Turnabout was playing again) we met Mia and Eve.  Eve is a crossdresser and this bar is where she feels comfortable.  Mia could easily be labeled a cougar.  She was fun if not a little (lot) aggressive.  She was there supporting Eve.  Well we saw Eve again last night.  She was with two other CD friends.  One was very convincing.  I really wondered if she was transitioning.  What made me sad was how miserable all three of them looked.  I didn't stare at them or anything, but when I looked at B (and I do that a lot) I could glance over at them.  Never a smile, not a one.  So....here right now I will make a pronouncement.  If you as a crossdresser get to go out (and especially if you get to go with either other CDs or a supportive friend) then have fun.  Fun and smiling go hand in hand.  Giggle, joke, smile, talk, flirt, just have fun.  This is your time outside the closet doors.  Make the most of it. 

We left around 1am.  We decided to not close the bar down this night.  Paid my tab, tipped the bartender and out the door.  On that note, when the bartender takes care of you, take care of the bartender.  And if you want to make it OBVIOUS, pay the first round in cash and tip big then start a tab for the rest.  It's a little manipulation, but hey...it works. I asked B where she wanted to go.  She wanted to go get some groceries after getting a bite to eat. 

We wanted some place sit down (at 1am mind you).  We drove down this road for 5 miles and found nothing.  Pulled out my handy Android powered smart phone and searched for Denny's.  It was the other way.  Turned around and passed the club again.  Turned left to go to Denny's and could not find it.  Looked at my phone again and it was Denny's Towing.  D'oh.  Did a search for Ihop and found one down by the mall off of I20. It was farther than I liked, but reasonable. 



This stop really made the night.  There were some teenage boys in the waiting area of Ihop that made a comment to each other when we walked in, but ignored it. They sat us and our waitress Erika came to take our order.  "What can I get for you ladies to drink." Oh that sounded SO SO SO good.  We decided to split an omelet and pancakes.  When Erika brought back our food, she had the omelet cut in half on separate plates.  I asked for salsa and she brought it right out, offering more which I declined.  She was attentive and an awesome waitress.  I did the survey online and told Ihop they need to give her a raise before a competing place like Papasitos scoops her up. 




B decided she wanted to go home instead of shopping.  I was fine with that.  I was tired also (old married folks).  I kissed her and told her she was awesome and Candi was coming to bed with her.  She asked about the wig and fake nails.  I said yes but I was taking the fake lashes off.  I don't think I'm doing fake lashes again.  1. I would like some cute glasses for my look and lashes are not conducive to glasses.  2. They are a pain in the ass to put on and take off.  I'm sticking with mascara.

Another side note.  When I was in the bathroom the 2nd time, a thumb nail popped off and landed in the toilet.  Well I wasn't going in after it, and even if I did, I didn't have any adhesive.  I only brought lip stick (which I didn't need to reapply, thank you Revlon).  I looked at my other hand and saw the thumb nail on that hand was missing also.  Well Damn.  Oh Well.  When I got home to get ready for bed, I found the 2nd nail in my tights.  Guess it came off at the same time as the 1st one. I'm just going to paint my nails next time.  I love the fake nails, but not sure if it's worth it for the night.  If I could go all week and not have to do contacts, then maybe fake will work.
I got my contacts off even with nails on.  One more reason to get Lasik or at least some prescription glasses. I would really really like to get Laik but $1500 I don't have.  I forgot and left on the lashes until this morning before church.  I also had the nails to work with this morning.  My toes are still bright red and I LOVE them. But I need to take care of that before work this week since they will stand out A LITTLE at the gym.  I slipped on my favorite black nightie to sleep in, rolled into bed, and we both crashed. No sex after a long night out.

Today I had to take off my lashes, nails, all the makeup (eye liner is a bitch to get off in the shower). I need to wash my wig so it's ready for our anniversary.  I can't wait.  That was our night.  It was SSSSOOOO much fun.  I can't wait to do it again. 

Blessings,

Awesome Night Out (part 1)

OMG!!??!!  We had an AWESOME night last night.  Daughter was on a church retreat all weekend so I took Saturday off and was en femme for the day.  What a joy and so much fun.  B had to work most of the day, so we only got to spend the evening together.  That was alright though. 

In my last post I put what clothes I had picked out. Well that changed only slightly.  The stockings I originally had were more "fishnet" and I didn't like those so I went and got some solid black with a seam up the back.  I LOVE that look.  However, when I put them together with my denim skirt, there was a slutty malfunction. My skirt comes up just enough to show the tops of my thigh-highs and depending on how long I sit, the straps too.  B voted that down.  I think if I would have pushed she would have voted me off the island (giggles). She pushed for tights instead of thigh-highs.  Well.....she was right and I was glad.  Although I did like that look some (maybe more than some), it was good to be a little more modest.  Also, it was COLD.  When I first stepped outside and the cold hit me, I told B she was right and the tights were a good choice.  Other than that, the outfit was great. 

Before we left, B made a statement. "We are really fucked up.  You are getting all primped and pretty and I'm just throwing together an outfit."  My response was "We may be fucked up in the eyes of society, but we are perfect together." I got a nice smile from that.

I do not have Breast Forms (yet) but I do use the padding from special medical bra I inherited.  They fill out the C cups nicely.  I wore the matching white lace bra and pantie set and B and I bought.  We got one set for her and one for me; especially for this night.  Well the bras were a wordrobe malfunction waiting to happen.  B didn't like her bra. It was actually a little too big (surprising since she is really a DDD) and it had an underwire, which she hates with a passion.  That quickly came off and she wore the non-underwire semi lacy (and semi sexy) bra I bought her a couple weeks ago.  Now since I had been dressed most of the day, I already had my malfunction.  I asked B to sew some pockets into the bra for my padding.  She didn't get a chance.  Therefore, everytime I bend over my breasts go from sexy on the chest to fugly on the belly.  We were able to overcome this problem my safety pinning the bra cups together.  It worked perfectly.  I didn't have any "bounce", but I also didn't have any movement or worries about losing myself.













The Turnabout show (guys dress and girls and girls dress as guys and there is a drag show) at 1851 Club was scheduled to start at 10pm.  We didn't leave the house until after 9 and I knew there would not be a table available much less a parking spot.  We got there about 15 minutes to 10 and half the parking lot was empty.  I was a little nervous.  Did the show get canceled? Is the club just a hole in the wall bar now instead of a hole in the wall bar with fun shows? 

The rain had stopped so we could get in without getting wet (Thank you Lord).  There was a couple tables open waiting for us to take one.  YAY!!  B sat down while I got us drinks.  I asked the bartender what he recommended.  "alcohol" He said, smiling.  Funny and good.  I told him I wanted something sweet, no energy drinks in it and no coffee type drinks in it.  Margarita is a normal choice for us (besides a beer for me when in drab).  He made a fresh margarita and he also recommended a Vodka Cherry Sour, so I got one of those.  LOVED IT.  The margarita was a little stronger and the Vodka Cherry Sour was a little weaker (it was a single) but they were perfect.  I ended up ordering another round. 













While ordering, a blonde skinny thing with a cute red dress on commented how pretty I looked tonight.  Made me smile (and probably blush).  I thanked her.  That was too sweet.

End of Part 1.  I'm breaking this up into 2 parts since it's turning out so long.....

Night on the Town

Getting ready for a night out on the town with B.  The daughter is at a church retreat for the weekend and we have all night to have fun. 
I got a new pair of thigh-highs today.  The last ones I got were more of a fish net stocking.  And then just a few days of wearing them and I got a rip :o(. So I got some new ones today.  AND....they have  back seam.  So sexy.
The outfit for tonight will be new stockings and garter (of course).  On that note, who can wear stockings without a garter to hold them up.  I know they have that plastic around the top to hold them, but I have never had a pair that would stay up more than 15 minutes. I'm wearing my denim skirt that I absolutely adore, and the purple top I wore out to the same club last time.  I would go with the grey or purple strappy top, but it's a little chilly.  I have some matching purple flats that finish off the assembly. 

Looks like the rain has stopped (thank you Lord) and we will have a blast.  I will update if we have too much fun; giggles.

Crossdresser Getaway

Wouldn't you like to get away from it all?  Do you want a chance to be en femme all day or all weekend?  Well you can do it at one of MANY gatherings across the country. 

Of course there are Tri Ess monthly support groups and other groups that get together.  I was sad to see the DFW Metro CD Group disbanded.  I guess there are not as many of us as I thought....or they are so deep in the closet they cannot come out.

So here is a list of four getaway places you can go to.  Do some searching online and I am sure you will find more.  When you search, make sure you search for an detailed term such as crossdresser getaway.  If you just search for "crossdresser", all you will get is porn.  And if your significant other is searching, that is some good advice.  When your wife is trying to figure you out (when you are trying to figure you out), you don't want her to only see porn.

Keystone Conference in Harrisburg, PA

Southern Comfort in Atlanta, GA

Be-All in Chicago, IL

Dignity Cruises in....well, the ocean

I hope this helps you get the courage to take that step outside your front door in those really cute heels.  Hear the clicking on the walkway, fell the swish of your dress, your hair tickling your neck, and that confident smile in those pout red lips.

Being You


This was one of the post from a friend on Facebook.  I think it really sums up a good point for Crossdressing. 

Who care what other people think about you wearing a dress or girls clothes or high heels or stockings, panties, garter, bras, corsets, wigs, hats, etc, etc, etc.  Are you hurting anyone?  Are you hurting yourself by not doing it.

I have read more than one that most crossdressers will purge (throw out everything related to crossdressing) at least once in their life.  Then they will sooner or later buy back again.  That's an expensive lesson; although one way to get a new wardrobe. 

Move forward with your life.  Be happy with who you are.  This life is meant to be lived out to the fullest with those you love.  You might still be looking for the "those" but they will show up soon.  I promise.  The past is gone and the present changes every second.  Keep your eyes on the future.

The Bride of Christ and crossdressing

One “fantasy” I (and many crossdressers) have is to dress in a beautiful wedding gown and get married.   We want the pictures, the walking down the aisle, the I Dos. We want to be the center of that attention. We want to be a BRIDE.

So when it comes to Christianity, what does it mean to be a “bride of Christ”?  Do we get to be a bride and fullfull every crossdresser’s dream?   Check out Matt 26:27-29 .     First we must understand Jewish wedding customs to understand this passage. When a Jewish man proposed marriage to a woman, He would give her a contract called a Ketubah. In the contract was everything he has promised to his new bride.  It also stated the price he would pay for her. If she agreed, the bridegroom would hand her a cup of wine, and if she drank from the cup the marriage was sealed and they became legally married. He would then say to her “I will not drink of this cup until we are reunited”. This was said because they would separate for at least a year as he prepared a place for them.  More on the drink below.

No wonder Jesus said, “drink from it, all of you”, because their acceptance of the cup meant they would be legally married. He also said, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins”. In this statement Jesus was laying out the price He would pay to obtain His bride. The wages of sin is death and He paid this on our behalf (Romans 6:23).

In John 14 Jesus said “I will go and prepare a place for you” just like the bridegroom prepares a place for his bride.  Later in vs 23 he said “If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”


When the Lord’s Supper was instituted in Matthew 26 and Jesus passed the bread and wine, he said these words “27Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28This is my blood of theb covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s kingdom.”  Back to our Jewish marriage when the man gave his bride a cup to drink yet he did not drink and would not until they were reunited in the future after their new house (New Jerusalem) has been prepared and completed.  The scriptures are FILLED with marriage references and illustrations.















“How does this relate to crossdressing Candi”, you may ask. 

Well we (the church of believers) are the bride of Christ.  And there are two specific scriptures I want to point out to you.  1st is Genesis 1;27 where Adam was both male and female, even as God. Adam was made in the likeness and image of God, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Gen 1:27 NIV). 2nd,  a principal truth in Scripture is that we are neither male nor female in the eyes of God, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3:28 NIV).


You see, we are the bride of Christ and we are all one in Christ, neither male nor female.  When it comes to Christ and Christianity, it doesn’t matter whether you are male/female/gender neutral or if you are not sure what your gender should be.  Also, if you are struggling with your gender and what this means to you as a person, you can come to God and ask those hard questions.  Why am I like this? Who do you want me to be? Where do I go from here? He is able to take your questions and give you the love you seek.

Be blessed and seek the one who made you and is looking forward to the time he can say "well done good and faithful servant."

Hugs,

What is a Crossdresser

Everything and nothing.  Everybody for sure. Your neighbor. Your aunt.  Your husband.

Before I get too deep, There is a wide spectrum for crossdressing from simple "under-dressing" such as panties for a man to full daily en femme.  Then there is transitioning to the other gender you feel is YOU.

How is that for an intro.  Everything and nothing.  Well, to some, dressing to fit the gender they feel they should be is everything to them.  It's not about "passing" but feeling like yourself. Your TRUE self.  And really is that anything.  No.  It's nothing.  When I see myself dressed en femme, I feel empowered in a different way.  When I dress in a business suit, I feel empowered also....again, in a different way.  Crossdressing is really nothing when you think really really hard about it and break it down.

Everybody for sure.  1st it depends what your standard is.  If you say your standard is society today, then you might as well drop your argument now before someone shows you how stupid it is.  If you say really mean your standard is 1950 where men wear suits and women were dresses, I would say you are probably correct.  BUT....It's not 1950 anymore. 

Women crossdress every day.  I made this argument in a previous post.  Women wear jeans and t-shirts all the time.  They wear sneakers instead of high heels.  THEY WORK.  Oh My?!?  Some don't wear a bra (or panties). Some were "boy shorts" panties.  I like these too. 

Do many men crossdress also?  Well they don't dress in suit and tie all the time.  Many men were "nicer" dress shirts and "softer" color ties.  Their underwear will lean toward colored softer fabric instead of tightie whities. 

Your Neighbor Your aunt Your husband.  There is a good chance you know someone who does crossdress.  I will stick with men right now.  During work, I under-dress.  Panties, sometimes stockings and garter (I have not worn a bra to work).  I wear a nightie to bed every night.  That's what makes me feel good.  You would never know because I am all man at work (whatever "all man" means). 

The last thing I want to put on this post (although I will probably revisit this subject very soon)... For those wives looking for information or those husbands searching to help your wife understand, be careful who you ready.  I read a blog yesterday that basically said "all crossdressers want to transition to female (surgery), want to be promiscuous, want to suck a dick, want to be sissified, and can be controlled because of their crossdressing.  Please Please Please Please if you ready that on any blog, go to another page and do not ready anything else on that blog. 

Crossdressing is a wide spectrum.  Some of us just want to feel pretty.  Some want to go out of the house dressed.  A few do want to go full time.  80-85% of crossdressers are heterosexual.  Don't mistake fantasy talk with actual desires.  Read the blogs and post questions on sites such as www.lauras-playground.com. See a gender therapist.  If you are really wondering where you are as a couple (or single), read My Husband Betty TOGETHER.  This isn't something you want to go through alone.

I will be happy to correspond with you at any time.  There is support available.  Crossdressing can be a part of a healthy marriage, if you love each other.

Hugs....-Candi

Money in Money out

I sold our old car finally. YAY!! We had money coming in. I took the Honda in for brakes. $400 later i can drive out.  Dang that hurt. 

I was able to spend some money on B and our daughter. And what's great...I got a new outfit. Purple. My favorite color. I think Dots Clothing stores will be our favorite store now. I was so disappointed though. I found the extremely sexy black dress.



It's the 3rd from the left. It made me wet just looking at it. They only had it in 1X. I think I will fit in a 1X but 2X is (maybe) better.

B talked me out of getting it. I think when I lose the next 15 pounds, that dress will be mine.  If I can fit into size 16 jeans, 1X should not be a problem.




Well, we are broke again.  Now we need to sell the adjustable bed and get a king size again (I cannot wait).  Looking forward to a great Sping and some too sexy outfits to come out.  I'm such a clothes slut.

Hugs,

Corsets

I would LOVE to buy a corset.  Actually, I almost bought on at Crystals adult store this weekend.  I know, quality would not be as good, you could not return, etc etc.  It was half price (only $20) and oh so sexy.  With thigh high stockings and heels, it would definitely be a "come fuck me night". 
But it was not to be.  I asked the girl if I could try them (I picked that and a nightie out) to try on in 1X size.  She said the fitting room was closed because of water break.  Well heart breaker.  I didn't get them. 

But....while looking thru the forums at Laura's Playground, I stumble across this discussion.  I never thought about getting a tight laced corset.  Way too uncomfortable.  I just want something extremely sexy.  One of the girls posted this option:

Unfortunately I can't post a picture here because Fredericks won't let me copy and paste :o(.

$60 is a lot of money, especially since I can't try it on until I get it.  Why can't they be like Zappos and have free shipping both ways.  Return shipping is $8. 

Maybe I should just go to their store in the mall and try one on.  I know I should call before going in.  Most of the time they don't have ANYTHING bigger than a large in the store.  I "kind of" understand, but not much. 
I need to open my own store.  We are going to call it TRANSitions Clothing and Accessories.  I will kind of model it after http://www.carlas.com/.  I like the concept.  I don't want an "adult book store".  I want to be able to help other crossdressers and those transitioning.  I want this to be a safe place where you can be the person you feel like inside (or maybe have a chance to find that person so you know for the future).  I need to make a trip to San Jose, CA to get a 1st hand account of this business. 

Who's up for a road trip??

My Favorite Line

My favorite line from tonight from B...."I'm so glad I get to be a lesbian with my husband."  I love my wife.

Being a tall woman

I have felt self-conscience on being 6'4".  I thought I would really stand out (pun intended) in a crowd.  As I posted on Laura's Playground forum and got some good feedback, shoes are hard to find locally.  I can find them online, but I want to try them on before buying, even if I can send back easily. 

The girls on the forum have been helpful especially regarding heels and shoes in general.  I would love some nice heels but after consideration, anything over 2 inch would be bad.  

then I found this site called Femulate and a great article on Tall WomenAs it says, we tall women need to enjoy it and relish it. I went through some of the women the site list.  Kerri Walsh looks great and she is 6'4" also.





 She is sexy, confident, and best of all......TALL.  I need to embrace my tallness and exude confidence in my femininity.  When en femme, it will show I am really trying :o)

Blessings,

-Candi 

Wish List


I decided I was going to start a wish list for clothing/shoes/toys/wigs/whatever that I want or have been wanting.  This Just like making a grocery list so I don't forget when I go to the store, this will be the way I remember what I want to put on.  Also, I can go back years from now and see how my taste has changed (maybe not too slutty). 
So....the item of the day I want to get is this:





















OK...mostly just the top.  I have a "to die for" denim skirt that would go great with that top.  Maybe it is a "little" slutty.  I wish I could pull off those heels.  The whole thing is absolutely sexy.  Unfortunately, at 6'4" there is no way I can pull off 3 inch heels. OK, I need to shave my legs and I know I can pull this off (minus the heels).

One more (although I was only planning on one per post.  This is something I want to get very very soon. 




















I think an XL would fit very nice.  Unfortunately, I don't think the breast forms are included so I would need to get those also.  I might have to go with a "non-TG" corest and hope for the best on size. 

Soon, very soon.

Christianity and crossdressing

This is one of many posts.

In this post I want to discuss Christianity and crossdressing.  This is a hard topic for some people, especially those who think crossdressers are all gay, or deranged, or something else.  I’m not going to discuss homosexuality because  that is not what my blog is about (at least I won’t discuss it right now).  So let’s jump right in.
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. 
This verse is in the mosaic law.  This law was written by Moses to bring Israel together and keep them pure in relation to people outside Israel.  Before that verse it says if you see your brother’s donkey and he is not with it, you should take it home and keep it safe.  After that verse about garments, Deuteronomy says if a man marries a woman that is not a virgin, he can go back to the father of the bride and have him stoned. 

So the non-biblical part…women wear “men’s” clothes every day and nothing is said about that.  However, when men wear “women’s “ clothing, they are shunned.  Why?  Helen Boyd really said it best in My Husband Betty so I will not rehash it here.  Basically..what’s the big deal.
Even in Iran, men are crossdressing:

So….don’t quote Deuteronomy when bashing crossdressing.  It doesn’t work.   And if you are a married man, look at your wife’s clothing before making comments to crossdressers. And if you are a woman, give the gurl some pointers and go shopping with her.  She will love you for it.

Favorite Nightie

I think every girl should have a favorite nightie.  "Nightie" is kind of a generic term in that I think you should have your favorite to sleep in. 
I had to put that disclaimer on because the lingerie industrie has made nighties into sexy, frilly, come take me items.  And while I absolutely love that too (I have a few of them), those are really not comfortable to sleep in. 
It reminds me of the bed commercials.  In them, you see women sleeping in long silk night-gowns.  Everything is heaven and nothing could wake them.  Oh, and many of them don't have sheets.  Let's not forget the guys sleeping in full pajamas.  How often has that happened since the '50s.  In actuality, silk is hot to sleep in, doesn't move well with you, and really kind of a pain. 

My favorite nightie to sleep in is this black one. 















It's light, cotton, a little flirty and comfortable.  I have another blue one I love (B's favorite color right now) that is made from that lycra blend.  It's cooler than cotton.  I would have to say it's my 2nd favorite.

When in "man-mode" I have always slept nude.  I never understood guys that would sleep in pajama pants or boxers.  And there is no way I would sleep in a t-shirt.  When I move just a little, it feels like I am choking :o(.

Now there is rarely a night I don't sleep in one of the two nighties listed above.  They are relaxing and comforting.  That is exactly what you should look for in your "favorite".  One that relaxes you.  When you slip it on, you feel the stress start to fall off.  Like going to mom's house on Thanksgiving when the cooking is 80% done.  You walk in and the smell hits you.  It feels good.

Find your favorite nightie.  You will thank me later.

I Am So Excited!!!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!! I am so so so so so so so so so excited.  Can you tell I am excited?  Yes I am excited. Here is how the conversation went:

B: You know I can't keep a secret, right?
Me: Yeah, I know.
B: Well I have something special for Candi for our anniversary.  I am scheduling a make-up makeover for Candi.  It's one of the girls I met at a networking meeting and she is more than happy to do this.
Me: Jaw hits the floor.
B: I'm also looking for someone to take professional pictures of you after the makeover.
Me: Trying to smile, but hard to since chin is literally on the floor.

Yes she does love and accept me and Candi (but I already knew that).  Oh my heart is a flutter.

So many thoughts running through my head....so many things we have to do in the next two months.

* Buy a new outfit
* Buy new shoes (more on this in another post)
* Buy a new wig (I want something more straight than curls)
* Buy lots of batteries for the camera
* Figure out where we are going after the photo shoot (I bet B. has plans running through her head)
* Lose the 15 pounds I'm working on (I WILL do this)
* Mani/Pedi for sure.














I cannot cannot cannot cannot wait for this night.  It is going to be awesome.  We are going to have so much fun.  Oh, and I will give you are the girly details afterwards.
