Sweaty man alert...

Im a Navy Baby..
I think thats why I have such a fascination with the uniform..Well, I guess that is what I can BLAME it on. Blame? Let me rephrase that. Im not going to say that its a problem, you know.. Its really not. I can enjoy a good outfit just as easily as some dude can enjoy a good dress..right? Its not like I go around with mirrors on my shoes trying to look up those summer whites that the sailors wear or anything. Im not sure I have seen a nice summer white uniform on a sailor since, well, lets say its been a few years. But let me tell you, Bruce..bruce, he wore it well. Drop dead well. --and no, I have no urge to look him up on facebook, thank you very much. He is a great memory though. Thanks Brucey!! (you fox, Im sure you still very hot, indeed)

Anyway, what was I getting at?? Ah, this photo I took. A vintage card I purchased at an estate sale last summer..Its on my fridge, and I keep seeing it in my pictures file, so I thought you might enjoy a little something Im going to start calling
Objectification Tuesdays...pretty bottom drawer, eh??..yes, some of you will have use your wikipedia to look it up. Im really not sure how it will go, maybe some of you can enjoy a little uniform, or- lack there of, also..It will all depend on your commenting, Im sure I have a few gals out there that will hoot and giggle right along with the old coastal nest gal. Especially if I find that photo of my first victim (pin up)..my hubby in his beautiful dress blue marine corps uniform..then, quite possibly it might just be that cutie patootie in An Officer and a Gentlemen, no --not whose its, Gere..the hot one that offed himself..Now thats what Im talkin about...what was his name??
So, tune in next week when...Coastal Nest posts naked photos of her husband! Cute men in uniform..
Doing my patriotic duty for American women everywhere..
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy 400th!....WHAT??

Well well well....
could it be that the old Coastal Nest gal is 400 today?
youve got it!
Ive got another milestone under my belt, I cannot even believe I have written 400 posts.
What a long, strange trip its been!
~~~~~
I would like to thank the people who made this all happen, my family. (and you, fellow bloggers)

I will be having a little giveaway in celebration of this day, so...what I would like from you, if you choose, to enter this wonderous little game-giveaway, is to let me know what you are grateful for..
These are a few of mine.
........
I am grateful for-
the ability to sit here and write, albeit not anything fancy, world changing or even remotely interesting. I think its been one of the greatest things I have found to love in these 44 years of my life.
~
being able to look in the mirror and liking that blue eyed girl more every day.
~
having 2 sons and a hubby that know the importance of putting the toilet seat down.
~
having a best friend in my mamma.
~
knowing that what goes around comes around when it comes to my independant, strong willed daughter.
~
being totally willing and able to do anything I want, with the man of my dreams cheering me on.
~~~~~
these are just a few, I could go on and on..
...your turn, if you like..and as always..Thank you for your support :)

Spring to do list..

Adorable, no??
 We have started  a lovely fence with square lattice all across the front of home, I really want to have a cute little entry like this, eventually. Its perfect. I love it.

Then there is the sweet adorablness of a gardenshed, workspace, artroom, mama retreat, playhouse...
I could have a heyday deciding..My man said that the garage called, they want their "man" back..
Just my luck!!
Maybe one of these could do for me.

Better yet, we could make a few and have a commune, wanna come along??
