30 Day WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BOYS Challenge: Post #5

(5/30)
I like boys who SMELL GOOOOOOOOD! ;)
Most of my guy friends know this cause I'm sure I've told them all at some point...mmmmmm you smell good! lol  I just can't help it!
My father wore Old Spice. For a long time after he died the smell of it always made me think of him and feel a little sad but, now that has gone away.  Hubby wears Old Spice and I like how it smells on him so I think we have created new and happy memories with that smell!
My ex brother-in-law used to wear Drakkar Noir and I LOVED that smell on him! Very good! ;)
I bought it for hubby once but it wasn't my fave one for him to wear. Sometimes something that works for one person isn't that great for another!
I bought him Raw Vanilla once for christmas and I have to say that one was my absolute favourite!!
Sadly it has been discontinued and we can no longer buy it! :( For some reason the smell of vanilla on my man makes him delicious!! haha
He also smells very manly in Aspen. ;) lol
However, if you are a big fan of POLO please don't come too close to me!! YUCK!
Once there was a boy where I worked that wore something and I'm not sure if I remember what it was...I think he said Swiss Army but, I think every girl working in the store and maybe even ones who came in shopping would follow him anywhere! That boy smelled like heaven!! hehehehe
I actually have a funny story about the night I met hubby and it is possible that it was Aspen he was wearing that night.  He and I had gone out partying with separate people and after the night was winding to a close went to get some subs for munchies and we ended up in the same sub shop.  His cousin knew my brother and they got to talking and were invited to come over to our house and hang out. Apparently, I had a little bit too much tequila and was VERY flirty!
So hubby and I were flirting with each other and I asked him if I could smell him!
I am way shy so this is way weird behaviour for me! Please believe me! But, he liked me so he said it was ok and he smelled GOOOOOOOOD!! lol so we've been together ever since!! :)
So maybe sometimes it is ok to be a little more daring than usual! ;) :)

Oops I missed a day! :(
Anyway, back on track in a minute! ;)

I like a boy who is STRONG.
Yes, I mean physically! Though, I also like a boy who is mentally and spiritually strong as well.
I like that my man is bigger than me or at least TALLER lol and can handle all the things that we as girls think we "NEED" men for.  I'm quite capable of doing things myself and even though I am sometimes not as strong physically as a man I can still use my brain power to figure out how to do what needs to be done. BUT, I appreciate having a man to do those things for me.
When I was a single mom, for six years while my two older children were small, I did the things that needed to be done. I bought my children a wagon. I had to build it myself. I really wasn't strong enough to tighten the bolt at the base of the handle and so eventually it would get so loose it would fall off and I would have to "fix" it to the best of my ability again! AND again! AND yet again! I carried a little screwdriver and wrench in my purse for these occasions! LOL
Eventually, one of my guy friends put his brute strength to work and tightened that bolt so I didn't have to have these little broken down wagon fiasco's out and about with my hot, tired, cranky kids! lol
So, I have to say. I LIKE having a man in my life and in my house that can do the things that require strength I don't have and I must also say, I enjoy WATCHING him work!! ;)

30 Day WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BOYS Challenge: Post #3

(3/30)
There is nothing I like more in this world than a SMART boy who challenges me and makes me think!
The best way to get to me is to have a good sharp, mind and to USE it!
I love to have an intelligent, witty conversation with a boy partly because he has a different perspective than my own and partly because it reminds me that I am also intelligent and capable of having spirited discussions also!
What I love and appreciate even more is having that conversation and recognizing the MOMENT when that boy realizes that I AM just as smart as he is and fully capable of matching wits with him! LOL
It is quite fun, especially if you know you are talking to a boy who thinks that women are stupid. (Sadly, there are many of those.)
I also appreciate boys minds because the are often much more practical and logical than me so it gives me a perspective I might not have by myself since I am an emotion, feeling driven individual.
I enjoy SMART boys very much!

I like SWEET boys.  Sometimes they can really melt your heart with their sweetness.
There are hundreds of things they can do to be sweet and any of them can make your day.
Every time they are willing to share something with you or bring you a present for no reason or just to let you know they are thinking of you.
Every time they send you a text to let you know they miss you.
If you are sick and miserable and they make you a cup of tea or cook you some soup and bring it to you in bed.
Every time they remind you to take your meds, eat something (when you are a diabetic) or make sure you have a cup of tea handy.
Every time they know your heart hurts for whatever reason and they do something just to make you smile.
Every time they tell you that you look beautiful even though you KNOW you look tired and OLD!
They are being sweet and thoughtful.
Thank you to all my BOYS for filling my life with your sweetness! xo

Boys are FUN!
Sometimes they do crazy, insane things but usually it's just because they are having and creating their own little bits of FUN in life! I appreciate their energy and laughter and mischievous spirit!

Once when we had a Tues/Fri my boys got a hold of  my son's snowboard and each took turns sliding down the hill in our front yard. It's a small, short hill, they were all drinking together and hanging out during their time off work and they were having a total blast being completely drunk and silly! lol
What's not to love about a bunch of boys having fun together? It is awesome to be a part of it! :)

I NEED a Tuesday/Friday Cheeseburger

Hubby, his younger brother and his friend all work at the same company.
During the winter time they are all laid off and at home receiving unemployment insurance because their job is seasonal.
So in previous seasons they would have Tuesday/Fridays...Tuesday is the day the pay comes in and we'd go out for a Tues/Fri cheeseburger, usually at McDonald's and then they'd get a case of beer and come over and hang out, play pool, have a jam session-Peter plays bass, Sky plays guitar and Shawn plays drums and they ROCK when they jam together! ;)
Occasionally they would also do goofy things like slide down the short hill in my front yard on the kids snowboard cause they were feelin happy and standing outside to have a smoke (no smoking in my house) and it's just the kind of goofy stuff boys do when they are havin fun together lol
As everything else in life, it changes and things that used to happen don't happen as often anymore...for many different reasons...but, DUDES I totally miss Tues/Fri cheeseburgers!!
I love my boys and I love the time I get to spend with them even if boys will be boys and are sometimes RUDE and DISGUSTING and DISTURBING and CURSE LIKE SAILORS lmao
They are still VERY fun guys and I enjoy their company very much!
SOOOO........if you read this guys...tell hubby you wanna have a Tues/Fri cheeseburger jam session...this house has been way too QUIET and DEPRESSING....it is so OVERDUE time for some goofy boys to come make noise!!! lol
;) DUDE I totally MISS you!!
