Last night, as we sat at the table just chatting.
Conversational snippet as follows:
My husband asked me if I had made him a sandwich for lunch.
"Yes, I sure did."
"Really you did," he clarified.
"YEP."
He looked to Saenz and said, "I like my sandwichs like I like my women, Plain Jane."
(HEAD WHIPLASHES UP HERE.)
ROFLMBOH! WHAT? I AM 'Plain Jane?'
So I asked hubby to explain to Saenz what 'Plain Jane' meant.
He told Saenz with a sandwich is just meat, cheese, on bread, no mayo and such.
I asked my husband to explain what the term Plain Jane meant concerning women. My husband just smiled and said, 'No Way.'
I am going to remember his 'Plain Jane' comment as a compliment. Since, I am truly a no frills kinda girl. Yes, back in my salad days -- I would primp and preen to get attention or feel good about myself. However, as I am nearing my 44th birthday -- I am happy in my own skin.
hair graying
overweight
unmanicured fingernails trimmed - super short
less muscle tone
burlap breasts
my facial road map showing
no jewelry, makeup, perfume, heels
I would much rather get my hands dirty working with my husband than spend time attempting the illusion of youth.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen
I stand before you,
PLAIN JANE -- Mal

Good Morning to you! Plain Jane sounds good to me, it sounds "middle of the road" not glamorous (can't be glamorous on a farm, no way) and not mud ugly. Plain Jane denotes wholesome and good with no window dressing to disguise. I would take it as a compliment too. Your DH sounds like a great guy!
When IS your B-Day?
Good Morning Jill!
LOL I guess I have worn out glamorous a long time ago. I am now baggy ole sweat pants.
My B-day is towards the end of the month. Just another day around here. Luckily Saenz is on spring break that entire week. Woooo Hoooo! Momma is going to sleep late -- til 7 or so!
ROFL ~;>
