2 things and 2 things
Gee, I'm really post-whoring it today. I'm bored.
This one is:
Name 2 things you like/love about your H, and 2 things you dislike.
Re: 2 things and 2 things
like:
1. he is really patient & laidback.
2. he treats me like a princess
dislike:
1. his love of just vegging all day. I think he would be perfectly happy sitting in front of a tv and with internet most hours of the day, most days of the week.
2. his driving!! He always scares me to death several times while he is driving.
2 things I love: his smile, his hidden soft side
2 things I could do without: his energy level at 6:00 am and the "come on, we're burning daylight!" yell that goes with it, his hockey equipment all.over.the.place.
1. His generous spirit and ability to love me unconditionally
2. His lack of patience and his aggressive driving

2 things I love: He's geniune, and he's honest.
2 things I could do without: Thinks too hard "just say it dude", his obsession with shoes
1. His awesome sense of humor.
2. His soft side. He's is SUCH a sweetie - so generous and giving!
and
1. When we watch a funny movie for the first time, he'll laugh out loud. Subsequent times, he'll just say, "That made me laugh so hard!" instead of actually laughing at the funny bits (he still thinks they're funny - he just says that instead of laughing). It's weird/annoying.
2. He's not very good at keeping secrets. He gets too excited and blabs them out. I think half his coworkers know I'm knocked up, even though we agreed that NO ONE outside immediate family and close friends (well, and all of the interwebs lol) would know until 13 weeks or so this time.
1. Totally treats me like a princess
2. Awesome guitar player
1. Me and his sense of humor are rarely on the same page
2. He has less ambition/drive than I do and it drives me batty...cuz I'm perfect right????
1. he is really intelligent and a thinker and forces me to think more about things
2. he loves me and Bea unconditionally, and without having to say it I know he would throw himself in front of a bus for us in an instant
2 1/2. he is super cute when his hair is cut the perfect length and he's wearing some kind of dapper academic outfit and carrying his Indiana Jones-ish briefcase around
---------
1. again with the agressive, too fast driving! what is it with all of our DHes??
2. he is not really a "planner" like I am. he doesn't like to think about things so much and waits to the last minute to do things all the time.
1) I like that he likes to do funny things. If I ask him to put me on his shoulders, he just squats down and up I go! If we are on a road trip and we are approaching something interesting, I can yell "Turn left" or "Pull over!" and we go explore.
2) He never gets angry. Sure, he gets frustrated with work... but, never about anything at home... like we can do no wrong (haha, is that even possible with a 7 year old). I don't know how he stays so calm, but he does.
1) Has not yet developed adult financial skills. For instance, he doesn't keep track of records or bills. That's fine for our household, b/c I take care of that... unless he gets the mail and hides stuff. However, his past life spills over when we get mail and calls from stuff he never resolved years ago.
2) I guess it goes along with being easy going... not motivated.
2)
Newlyweds since 2007
Love:
1. He brings me flowers about every other week....a totally unnecessary expense, but I'll admit, I love that he spoils me!
2. He is very calm and patient with me when I get moody...something he never seems to do!
Dislike:
1. He gets obsessed with projects, like right now he has bought several boxes of old, broken laptop computers off of ebay, and is fixing them. He's great at this, and many of them work now, but why? Why do we need 23 (yes, that's right, I said 23!) laptops from 8 years ago? He doesn't seem to want to sell them, just have the pleasure of fixing them. He'll spend two days in a row sitting on the floor surrounded by parts, but I can't get him to take out the trash...drives me nuts!
2. I'd have to (somewhat) agree with the driving thing....he NEVER uses his turn signal. ARGH!
- he is intelligent and hard working
- he thinks I am beautiful, even first thing in the morning when I have bed head and no makeup on and really look awful
- he is stubborn
- he is the most aggressive driver i know and even though he is "working on it" now that we have baby on the way, it is still really bad

Wow, the driving this is common!!
Love:
1) Loves me more than I ever thought possible
2) Very accepting of people
Dislike:
1) Lack of financial skills
2) This is almost embarassing to say... He takes things that happenned to me, or bits of random facts I know, and passes them off to other people as if they happened to him. Even worse, he really thinks they happened to him.
eg. I was watching a cooking show where this guy said his grandpa was poor and ate lobster all the time because back then, poor people caught lobster and ate them while rich people bought bologna and ate that. Said grandpa would be so embarassed to eat his lobster sandwich at school in front of the rich kids and so on. I thought this was interesting and told DH this.
Fast forward a few weeks or months. DH will be telling someone this very story, except it'll be his friend's grandpa!
I'll confront him about it later and he'll be like, "What? No, my friend really did tell me that." Drives.me.crazy!!
::LOVE::
::DISLIKE::
1) He's extremely good at taking care of me, and I love that because growing up I was always the one who could "take care of herself" while everyone else was acting a fool or being a drama queen.
2) He told me the other day "I can start out liking something, but I'll like it more if you like it, and less if you don't." I think it's adorable that he not only thinks things like that, but takes the time to say them to me.
1) He has very little patience with explaining things. If we have to work on a household project together (fixing something, building furniture) it always results in him telling me to do something, me asking what he means, and him saying "Why are you making this so difficult?!". It then devolves into an arguement over who got snappy first, and which one of us is really making this harder than it needs to be, and eventually I'll walk out of the room and leave him to finish the project on his own. Every. Single. Time.
2) Another driving complaint! He is a total driving hypocrite. He complains when people fiddle with the radio, tailgate, or dawdle in the car before backing out of a parking space. On the other hand, he is constantly fiddling with the radio/navigation (even when I'm in the car and could do it for him), tailgates EVERYONE, and dawdles around in the car for.e.ver. before leaving.
Loves/Likes
1. He treats me so well and makes me feel so loved
2. He's really good about doing his share of chores (and more sometimes =P).
Dislikes
1. He likes to roll over and sleep on my pillow. I am really possessive about my pillow (I know, I should let my husband use it but I can't =P). It's a weird quirk I developed.
2. He likes to build a mound of dirty clothes on his side of the bed.
