I enjoy public speaking. Am I weird? No, don't answer that!
When I realized this speaking engagement, set up a few weeks ago, was right on top of me, my first thought wasn't, "Oh, no. How the hell am I going to be comfortable in the car all the way to RI? Maybe I should cancel." or "How am I going to sit on my sore tuccas all day? Maybe I should cancel." It was, "Oh, no! I hope I can go, because I don't want to miss the fun!"
Many of us have wonderful husband's but mine deserves some kind of award. Not only for putting up with me (embarrassed grin) but also for supporting my hopes and dreams any way he can. Mr. Ash drove me all the way to RI, and hung out at the library, reading the latest Dan Brown novel on his Kindle. The lovely ladies of RI welcomed him to join us for lunch, and he did.
Not "classically handsome" but wildly attractive to me--even after all these years, I'm proud to "show him off" any time my friends meet him. How did I get so lucky? And even though he never said word one about my figure, I wanted him to feel about me the same way I feel about him whenever I look his way and he's unaware. I can honestly say we're living our HEA.
So, yup, I'm still bruised and healing, but feeling better and happy about my decision to improve myself, albeit taking the drastic route.

As the wife of a man who could also be voted hubster of the year, I appreciate your sentiments. Isn't being happily married the best thing in the world?
As to your comments about bruising-- have you had some Hollywood work done? :)
Best--Adele
I'm with you...my DH is still handsome although MUCH older and I've never wanted to trade. Life has blessed me....Jean
It's great to know I'm not the only one living my HEA.
And Adele, I did have some "work done." See an earlier blog or two for all the gruesome details. LOL

I had no idea you had surgery. I've daydreamed of having lipo, but I'm not sure I would have the nerve to actually do it. Good for you. I love that you blogged about it. There are a lot of women wondering about this surgery so being brave enough to share the experience is wonderful.
And as far as hubster of the year, yeah, mine is right up there. 25 years married and he's managing to deal with my MS with love and a smile. I'm a very lucky woman.
Didn't know you had MS, Nina. I know a few people with it and it can be tough. My #1 fan has it and her sense of humor is priceless.
Don't let it get you down.
