Julie, I am taking the advice from this thread myself. I am sure I have those "expectations" and that sabotages my interactions with H.
I am planning on picking my H up at the airport in high heeled ankle boots and skinny jeans. (And a top, lol) I am learning to do makeup thanks to some links Ancaire posted and I will look great. I will let you know if it works. It will be a couple more weeks at least though.
Are you in this storm too? The snow is just starting here. Going to be stranded all weekend and I plan on watching the makeup tutorials and practicing. At the very least, if it doesn't work on H I will look better for the next guy. Just kidding !!! (sort of.)
I also feel pretty good after one glass of wine- I am a cheap date! I have a friend who keeps refilling my wine glass whenever I turn around and I was wondering why I always get so drunk at her house. I am on to her, she tops off my drinks and then gets me to spill all my secrets. By 2 glasses I am an open book.
