All The Yelling...

I'm going to get down, dirty and really honest here. Because if not here, where?

I'm not always the nicest person. I know, *gasp*! But I've been doing a lot of thinking the last few weeks about who I'm not nice to.

And the answer makes my stomach flop.

Because I'm generally almost sickeningly nice to people whom I hardly know/don't know/ etc.

But I can be my nastiest to the people [person] I love the most.

why on earth do I do that?

[okay, hopefully it isn't THAT bad!]

Need an example? Well, as shameful as it is, here you go.

Tuesday Morning Mr. Husband had to ride with me to work because we left his car there {we went on a date right after I got off on Monday so he just met me at work, I'll share pics from that in a minute}. I leave at a very precise time every morning. And I'm always on time. And Mr. Husband, since I've known him for twelve years, is habitually late. Not a terrible amount, usually within 5-10 minutes late. I can't stand when people are late.

So when it was time to leave for work on Tuesday, what did I do?

I hollered and screamed like a mean old lady.

And drove like a bat out of hell to work scaring Mr. Hubs in the process, I'm sure.

I was late. Only by a couple minutes, but still. I hate to be late.

Mr. Husband jumped out, kissed me and left. And I felt horribly guilty, like I always do when I lose my temper at him.

So I called as soon as I got settled to apologize for yelling at him. And you know what he said?

It's okay. I'm used to it.

Stab me in the freaking heart right now. The last thing I want my husband to be used to from me is yelling.

So Mr. Husband. I'm sorry. And I love you. And I promise to make more of an effort to be as nice to you as I would be to total strangers.

Oh, our date? It was lovely! You know, after I bit Mr. Husband's head off for parking at a parking deck several blocks away in the rain. [gosh! I'm seeing a trend here and I don't like it!]

It's Charlotte Restaurant Week, which means all these fancy pants restaurants offer amazing deals that grant poor people like us the opportunity to feast.

And boy did we FEAST!

We went to Chima Brazilian Steakhouse. You know, a place with the gouchos who walk around with unlimited meat, a giant salad bar and fantastic appetizers? Oh, have mercy was my tummy hurting when we left. I can't usually eat very much in one sitting, but I think I definitely got my money's worth!!

My plate was this full for approximately 4 rounds. Holy cow! No pun intended. okay, maybe a little

I definitely finished the Top Sirloin pictured here. The service was so great, though, that I knew I wouldn't be able to get a picture of my EMPTY plate before they would come and swoop it away.

It was quite a lovely dinner, I must say! Live in Charlotte? I highly recommend taking advantage and participating in Restaurant Week!

Sinful Colors: Mint Apple. You can't tell, I don't think, from this picture but I also have China Glaze Nova over my ring finger. Just a tiny hint of glitter on an already sparkly polish. Loved.
