My lucky husband

I woke up early this morning and started thinking about what a great deal I am as a partner. Here are all the reasons I came up with:

1. I'm independent, well adjusted, productive and motivated to accomplish things. I always carry my share of the responsibilities to earn money and do the scut work it takes to run a household.

2. I'm socially gifted, get along with people, dont have major tantrums, not a drama queen, I'm appropriately appreciative and easy to get along with.

3. I have a nice streak of neuroticism and insecurity that pops up often enough for him to know I really need him and rely on him for my emotional security. (After all, it's nice to be needed!)

4. I'm not boring, I come up with new and fun (or aggravating) ideas on a regular basis. Or if I can't come up with anything I whine and complain until something occurs to one of us. In any case, I don't let us just fall into a dreary blah relationship.

5. I still really like sex, even after 28 years. I am pretty sure I am the only one of my friends who is in this catagory.

6. I have a great sense of humor and usually find myself (and him and us) quite amusing which helps a very good amount over the long run. (Note this post, as an example.)

7. I don't like to spend money all that much. I'd be happy living in a studio apartment. Clothes don't interest me. If we got poor, I wouldn't find it intolerable.

8. I am a great cook. My pies are works of art.

9. I'm a devoted mother but have no interest in living through my children.

10. I've got 24 years into a retirement plan.

11. I'm relatively healthy (at the moment.)

12. I'm loyal as hell.

Guess that's it. Damn. I think I'm close to being the perfect woman!!! I better go find my husband and tell him of his good luck!!

And, heh, I guess this means I don't need to make any resolutions this year.

Happy Christmas, again

Hey Journurl friends,

May your Christmas be bright and full of love and laughter.

Seattle has about 8 inches of snow. We may get our first white Christmas in over 25 years. Wouldn't that be something.

Best to all, and may we all be overcome with the need to blog in the new year!

PS I was going to give you your yearly virtual gifts but I can no longer remember how to do the little link thing to post them. Oh well, go virtually buy something nice for yourselves and put it on my virtual charge card!
