Workin’ for Tips

18.0923 Kickin the Dirt - workin for tips

About a month ago Mrs Core mentioned she could really do with a spa day….mani…pedi…massage… and something called a cucumber treatment.  But as she has been burning the midnight oil at work, she never booked herself a day.

So yes, I got the idea in my head that I could give her spa day.  No, I didn’t book her into of those fancy Palm Springs spa’s with the Fabio type masseuse.  I got old guy skillz and the google…I got this.  So I spent a month on the google researching how to give the perfect french manicure,  facial masks,  hot oil massage, warm stone massage, waxing everything.  Did find even one mention of a cucumber treatment….no.

Figuring I was ready, I surprised her with her spa day today.  Started her with pedicure, (this have been doing for years by the way), did a spectacular job with the french manicure.  Managed not to get any of the facial stuff in her hair (hey this is something).  Expertly waxed everything that required waxing.  Ya, I got skillz.  Moved onto to the massage.  Oils.  Warm stones.  Firm hands. Well needless to say she had the full spa treatment.

I am pretty sure she liked it but if she books another spa day I really gotta figure out this cucumber treatment thing.  Wonder if Knocks knows?

I just hope she remembers us Fabio masseuse types work for tips…..

the fountain of youth

18.0902 Kickin the Dirt (dna001) - the fountain of youth

It has been awhile since I have done one of these, due mostly to the fact that I am lazy and a little anal.  Mrs Core refers to this as being overly dramatic.  I am not sure what that even means…

…anyway

As of late, I have been concerned that my testosterone levels are dipping a little.  No, the plumbing is fine, but glossiness and shine of my ear fuzz has been diminishing.  And the old guy is known for his spectacular ear fuzz comb over.  So yes, I have been a bit edgy.

Mrs Core’s solution, why don’t we do up a couple of younger looks for fun.  I of course said it was a great idea, I am nothing if not fluid…flexible…open to change?!?!

So here we are, out and about, taking the kids for a test drive.  Notice the glossy comb over.  What happens some kid walkin’ by makes a comment about Mrs Core’s assets.  Now you have been wondering how senile I have gotten, as this story started with me talkin’ testosterone.  Well, nothing spikes a fella’s testosterone like the sound of an engine, cold ice packs on the back of his neck and the opportunity to show off in front of a girl he likes.  The words barely hit the air and I had one of those moments.  The old guy, would have heard the words, evaluated the kid, given the kid the old guy look, the kid would have walked away a little uncomfortable, the end.  But no, not this time.  Before I knew it I was ready to kick the kid’s ass and running my mouth.  Something about throwing him in the river, I think.  Absolutely no consideration if I could actually kick his ass.  The fact that all I had really done, was hit the spa and roll a few years back in the mirror, didn’t even register.  Thankfully Mrs Core leaned into me.  I felt a little sidage and the testosterone took me in a whole different direction.

In retrospect, I would have kicked his ass.  Old guys have skillz.

Now, baby where did I leave my pills and my glasses…

never under estimate the effect of 70’s rock

18.0122 back of her closet VI - never under estimate the effect of 70's rock

When you have been a couple as long as Mrs Core and I have, you discover that even a dashing ear fuzz comb over, rockin’ dad bod and irresistible charm are sometimes not enough to keep things interesting.  So, yes I plan spontaneous date nights for the second even-numbered Monday of the Month.  Pretty sure she has not figured it out yet.

Last night was, you guessed it the second even-numbered Monday of the month.  So Monday morning I called her and told we were going out and I would pick her up after work.  I took her to an old joint we like to go to.  It is a little rough around the edges but the music is good and she does like to dance.

We walked in and I slipped the bartender a twenty to put the 70’s mix in the jukebox and keep it there.  Why 70’s?  Cause old guys know stuff.  More about that in a minute.  A couple of cocktails later, Mrs Core is singing Bad Company’s Feel Like Making Love, dancing and flirting with the old guy.  I figure I did alright.  Giggling, she leans back into me…whispers “Baby, you know I am not wearing panties”…and winks.

Told ya old guys know stuff and yeah, I am pretty sure she hasn’t figured it out yet….

Mrs Core does get chatted up a fair bit when we are out and about.  It is actually sort of amusing and usually makes it into my repertoire of stories.  Seriously, you can’t make up better material.  But as an old guy, I can tell you, any line can open the door if you do these two little things.  Smile and make eye contact.  Even “Hi there.  How you doin’?” comes off cute when you look at a girl’s eyes and smile.  Of course a stylish ear fuzz comb over and rockin’ dad bod never hurts either….

…seemed like a good idea

17.0730 Mrs Core's Closet - seemed like a good idea

…well it seemed like a good idea.  Famous last words.

Mrs Core and I were out the other day looking for a place to do a picture.  along the way we stopped for lunch and well the joint had “Root Beer” and not the A&W variety.  It seems that Mrs Core rather liked it and well you know you can’t have just one.  Some how this lead to “Baby, I bet a picture up on that wall by the marquee would look great!”  Ever climb an ice box in heels after a few “root beers”?

Could have been worse, she was talking about matching tattoos…….

…attitude

17.0717 Mrs Core's Closet II - Attitude

…so I had this idea for a picture.

Mrs Core has been burning up her Lindens at The Epiphany for 4 days now (side note, does anyone know of a good gacha intervention program).  And to be honest she has come away with some really nice things.  But I have to say when she tried on the Pixicat Dragon dress I was “Babe, you gotta have that.”  Of course, she just looked at me and said, “Like you have any say.”  I guess, I should point out that I had spent 3 hours telling her most of what she was trying on was just ok.  I was thinking of my wallet of course.  So off she went, and again, and again, and again, and again.  I think you got the picture.  And of course she never touched the Pixicat.

In the end i wandered the gacha groups, fists full of lindens in my hands asking where I could get this dress.  I met shady characters on seedy sims, took frightening teleports to unseemly places.  To be honest, I was frightened.  Have you ever seen the inner world of gacha trading, those women are ferocious.  In the end, I found it after a rather unsettling conversation with a lady named “Big Ruby” who never lost the ash off her Pallmall through our entire negotiation.

So a little excited that I had managed to pull of the deal.  Picturing a Friday night out her in just the dress and heels, I was feeling pretty good.  So I shot home to present my prize to my wife.  What did I get?  You see the look….attitude.

Couple of side notes, no she is not wearing any panties in this picture.  (Yes, I am a dead man now).  And to be truthful I got a kiss on the cheek, but I am known to tell a story now and again…

..more than just a pretty face

17.0714 Mrs Core more than a pretty face

…now besides being as pretty as they come, Mrs Core is a pretty sharp cookie.  She was fortunate enough to win early access to The Epiphany.  Of course, when ever she goes to one of these events she does not tell me anymore.  She once hit a gacha machine 53 times in under 3 minutes and she wonders why I always say “NO!”  Now days she waits until I am at work or napping and when she is finished simply says “but Baby doesn’t it look pretty?”  Now what do I say to that?

Easier to seek forgiveness than ask permission.   Now if i could only get the the events to ban her… “Skye, oh Skye…”

…long weekend at the cottage

17.0703 ToB pickin' up my laundry VI

I am told that summer time is about long weekends at the cottage.  Being a winter guy I have never quite been sold on that.  However as it is the Canada Day long weekend and our 150th birthday the girls managed to convince me to head to cottage country.

Now you would figure that this would be a relaxing weekend, no stress, no worries. Please!  The girls worked on their tans, had a few cocktails and messed with the boys.  I drove, picked up the supplies, blew the dust outa the cottage and played cook and waiter.

Of course the cherry on the cake, Sunday morning, look what I found on the edge of the dock….some days I just shake my head

So here I am in a post apocalyptic scene…crumbling building…sleeping on a old cot…rummaging for sustenance.  Yet, my hair is the perfect shade of blonde…my  beard that perpetual 3 day shadow, manicured razor sharp …most importantly my chest n’ abs smooth and perfectly waxed…..

I guess it always pays to look pretty.
