Ali - but where would I see it? That is what I cannot figure out. I thought maybe I had missed a post that had a link to some pics from you. Can you let me know "where" to see a pic of your kiddos, I do want to see it. Are you talking about another board where there are pics of yours?

As for man-hands, girly-hands, and Mr. Hand....

I have to agree with somewhere in the middle between Cinco and Baggy - STRONG, BIG hands, to be sure, are the best kind. But dirty fingernails are only acceptable if a man has just come in from work 10 minutes ago and hasn't had time to wash up.

Rough edges and callouses are only ok when a man hasn't had time to get in there and take care of them, so maybe if a few days go by, that's ok, but overall....

I want STRONG, BIG hands that show signs of hard work but which have soft skin, they are overall tended to, fingernails groomed, cuticles under control. I can't have his fingers going places that don't see sunlight until those fingers have been purged of all dirt and rough edges.

We women just want it all, don't you know? :0)

Another one I forgot to add to the hygiene list is BREATH. If you drink coffee at all, even just one cup per day, you need a full mouth clensing including floss every single day and specifically before open-mouth kissing. In my relationship, I drink coffee and he doesn't, so I am the one rushing for the floss and brush the minute I get home from work so we can kiss shortly after ward.

Dang...now I'm all bothered by wishing to be home instead of work, so I can brush and floss and then attack my man. This morning, (well, this happens nearly every morning but...) this morning we were being lazy, hitting the snooze button, snuggling and kissing and caressing....pretty soon that turned into rolling like thunder, making out, humping.....then I was running late and had to leave....that always makes him try even harder, because sometimes he can get me to call in sick to work (and it is a fun challenge for him to do so)...but this morning I really couldn't be too late so I had to literally RUN AWAY from him because he was about to force himself on me (which I love)...and I was yelling promises about how great the sex will be tonight when I escape from work and rush home to him....that still wasn't enough for him and he came into my dressing room and continued to forceful attack by bending me over the dresser....I barely escaped with my panties on.

And now I am stuck at this desk all day until 5:00. Oh bother. I hate my life.

LOL!

Obviously, sarcasm.

I haven't posted many details about my upcoming wedding here, but just as a girly side-note, I have finally picked a wedding dress (off the rack, it is an elopement destination wedding, no guests), it has come into the store in my size, my two best girlfriends are going with me to try it on and purchase it this Saturday.

For background, my first wedding was in a judge's chambers and I was 8 months pregnant. So I never got to wear a real wedding dress. And now...well I finally have an adult, grown up sexy woman's body...I was merely a teen the first time...so to finally get to wear that beautiful white dress will be fun. I tried not to feel cheated out of a wedding the first time around, as all my friends walked down the aisles in their gorgeous gowns, non-pregnant, over the years. But of course, I did feel cheated. I am a girl, after all, and we place a high value upon that day and that dress.

Finally - I get to have mine.

And when I was younger, I was beautiful and fit...but somehow I just wasn't as sexy as I am now. I was a bit awkward and tomboyish...and now I am a vixen. Which (in case you don't know) its much more fun to wear a slinky, beautiful dress when you are a vixen than when you are a tomboy.

Cheers everyone!

Ali - don't forget to tell me where to see your pics?
