The Life and Times of the Watters Family

new shoes and Cam

I got these Mary Jane Crocs yesterday at Hilton’s in downtown Bellingham. They are my new favorite. I have been wanting some since I saw them on Elsie Flannigan’s blog last month. When Sara got some the other day in pink (of course) I was reminded that I wanted them. Anyway, Cam is super picky about shoes so I never know if he’s gonna hate the shoes I like. When he saw Sara’s he thought they were okay–as long as I didn’t get pink. He only has a couple things he is picky about so I do my best to try to accommodate his preferences (although he hates flip-flops and I wear them anyway). Cam’s things to be picky about are shoes and hair. He likes closed-toed, non-pointy shoes and LONG hair (well and speaking of hair, none on the legs). I can’t complain too much because ultimately if ugly shoes or short hair were important to me he’d be okay with it. He is the most flexible guy I know.

We have been working on a lot of projects around the house– kind of like spring cleaning on steroids. Well, Tuesday Cam had to have a filling fixed at the dentist and it was very painful (almost a root canal) but we still had a lot to get done on our projects that evening. He really sweetly asked me to make soup and biscuits for dinner because he was in so much pain. I wish I could say I sweetly responded with “sure honey, anything for you”, but I can’t. I was grumpy and frustrated–made the requested food anyway. By the time we sat down to dinner I was fine but I regret not being more selfless when he made the request. He has been so sweet lately (being so helpful, making time to talk, flowers yesterday) and I need to remember to show him how much I appreciate it. I watched Borat with him last night– that’s gotta count for something, right? He laughed so hard he’d have to pause the movie til’ he’d get a grip. Gotta love him, he’s the best–ever!
