Thursday Thirteen #104: why i love my husband
Thirteeners and Usual Suspects,
Are you hot? Hockey God is. No, I mean, really. It was warm today. Also, he’s sexy. We may run away together. Oh, wait! Already did. I mainly love him for many, many reasons. Scads of reasons. A plethora of reasons. Myriad reasons. But largely because (damn, one glass of wine and I can’t type):
13) He insults microwbrew drinkers. Which is about shocking in these parts of the woods.
12) He drinks vodka rocks, which is about sexy.
11) the big one. you know.
10) He gardens, mows the lawn, oh, wait. That’s me. He gardens and occasionally mows the lawn.
9) He plays hockey.
8) He’s romantic. He asked me to marry him when we ran off to Portugal.
7) Our wedding was perfect. I mean — so fun, so different, so just what I wanted. Perfect.
6) He figured out how to take care of our kids before I did. Me: Diaper wrap? Him: Voila!
5) He loves his family. He loves my family. He fell in love with my cat, Wacky Cat 1, before he fell in love with me. She’s kind of a handful, so this meant a lot to me.
4) He’s fairly tolerant of my superstitions and the way I insist on making the sign of the cross over him whenever I’m worried. (I do this to the kids, too.) (I know Unitarians supposedly rejected the whole Trinity business, but they are a tolerant people, so I feel free to worship as I please. And free to make the sign of the cross whenever I am so moved.)
3) When we got married, he asked my Granny, “Can I call you Grandma now?” which, you know. Made her weep. And he asked my Grandpa for my hand in marriage which, you know. Made my Grandpa and me both weep. For different reasons. My Grandpa: “Thank God she left that mental midget she was with before and is marrying an Iowa boy.” Me: “He is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met.” (sob.)
2) He is great to snuggle with. He’s like a big bear.
1) He gives me whatever I want.
HAPPY THURSDAY, EVERYONE!!!!

Very sweet. I just signed up my son for hockey to promote more hockey. I myself took a break for the second half of the summer and may start up again if I’m not run ragged chauffeuring the new hockey boy in town.

You’re right about the importance of cat love. It was one of the main factors in my marriage, I can tell you that. He sounds like a great guy…hey, you got one of the good ones!

*in her best Napolean Dynomite voice* Lucky! Seriously, folks, I’ve met him, and she’s not exaggerating. At all. I am considering sneaking some of his hair for a dna sample for cloning purposes.
