the food it…of course…the nectar of the gods…lol lol lol!!!
I have the best husband EVER!
:rofling:
I met mine on Valentine’s Day on '93…he works for the transit authority, I was getting on the train, he threw a CHEEEZY line at me (“What’s a pretty girl like you doing alone on Valentine’s Day”) and offered me an Almond Joy candy bar (which I did not accept, not knowing what kind of weird he was…yet), I thought about his sparkly eyes all the way home, went out of my way to pass back through that station on my way to a VDay party, he recognized me & called me over, I took HIS phone number (again, was not yet aware of what kind of weirdo he was) and we’ve been inseparable ever since!
Al is a really good guy…you can’t go wrong with a big guy who loses all testosterone around tiny little dogs!
AND, Im not usually feeding him ANYTHING…HE LOVES TO COOK!!! :cheering:
LOL, “hands off!” I can understand why! You sure are blessed! & you to Rebecca! & KellyK! & Beldie! Did I miss anyone? It’s nice to hear so many of us are so fortunate!
I’m one of the lucky ones too. We rarely exchange gifts, but I don’t feel I’m missing anything there, because I’m choosy when I shop, and don’t like accumulating stuff I won’t use, even if it’s gorgeous yarn! If I don’t have a project in mind for it, it’ll just make me feel guilty to have it & not use it! He does spoil me with other kinds of presents though: like listening with rapt attention to me talk for an hour when I’m stressed about something (thanks to the book “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus”, for helping me train him in that! ;)). And he’s always doing something loving. When he rakes the leaves off the yard, he gets lots of gratitude from me. I guess some women would say “Well, if that’s his chore, and I do my chores, I don’t need to be grateful, because fair is fair.” But I really like noticing what he contributes. It puts me in a loving attitude, and when I want him to do something more, I can ask him “pretty please,” and not because I’m thinking he hasn’t done enough. I had to learn that attitude, and it’s made a huge difference, it motivates him greatly; he’s a hard working man and I know that my gratitude makes it a joy for him. Appreciation is so important! We had to work to take our love and make it into a truly functional relationship. BOY am I glad we did the work!!! There’s nothing more valuable to me than that kind of partnership.
I count my blessings every day!
