Re: Friday Five

    5.  He calls me too much at work.  He's getting better though.

    My husband never calls me during the day.  (He knows I am busy and I know he is busy.) But a check-in phone call every now and then would be nice.  Maybe our husbands should hang out and then they could balance each other out!!!

  • Lacey, when you said you can basically tell how in love with you your DH is, that made me go "awwww" out loud and get goosebumps. :)

    1.  He's patient and easy going.

    2.  He makes me laugh when I need it.

    3.  Even though he does not like her show, he'll suffer through Chelsea Lately some nights or Teen Mom, when I was watching it.

    4.  If we are walking down a sidewalk, he gets a little annoyed if I don't 'allow' him to be the one by the cars.  He sleeps on the side of the bed with the windows because in our old place I was weird about it.

    5.  He pushes me to find new interests and would rather me find something job wise that makes me happy and may not pay a lot vs. making money and being miserable (he also has the same philosophy for himself).

    Dislikes

    1. He has an aversion to medicine.  It takes a lot of work to get him to take allergy medicine and I guess he would rather sneeze all day long and have an allergy attack than take something to possibly prevent this.  Tomorrow I will force feed him a pill if I have to. 

    2. Even though he eats like crap his cholesterol levels are lower than mine.

    3. He likes to joke with me a lot but if the outside world heard him say what he says to me they would think "What a horrible wife."  His latest thing is that he says I didn't think he could get his cholesterol level down and thought he would fail when it's the exact opposite.  I bet him before he got checked that it would be high and it was.  He wanted to bet $100 that he could get it down in 3 months but I believed that he could get it down so it was a dumb bet.  I dread the moment when he says one of his "jokes" in front of MIL because we get enough hell as it is from her. 

    4. His ideas are in left field sometimes.  We have another squirrel in our attic and his plan is to hook up the home automation stuff in the attic where if it senses movement it would blast an alarm which is ridiculously loud that you can hear it a few houses down. 

    5. Most times he does not respond to my emails.  Now they don't all require a response but when I sent him pics of a joke we played on someone, something in return would have been nice. 

  • 1.  He can be mushy sweet? constantly gives me compliments and tells/shows me he loves me.

    2.  He helps me around the house, he truly is my "handyman".  I'm lucky!

    3.  He is protective, like if he isn't with me at home he calls to make sure I'm locked up and tells me good night. 

    4.  He makes me laugh with his goofy-ness.

    5.  He appreciates and likes my cooking.

     

    1.  He is anal.  Like soooo anal.  I've never seen anything like it. (Mine too Stephie)

    2.  He chews on ice, which he is actually trying hard to work on not doing. 3.  He has a temper. 4.  He can be overly judgemental sometimes. 5.  He doesn't like to cook and thinks I should do it most of the time.
  • 1. He does the dishes most of the time (not my favorite chore)

    2. Really cares about me and is always trying to make feel better when I am feeling down

    3. Protective, doesn't like me going places at night by myself

    4. Hilariously funny.

    5. Same dislike for A&M :)

    Annoy

    1. Doing dishes is about the only household thing that he does. I've gone from my parents who vacuum and clean all the time to someone who is nearly the complete opposite

    2. Plays video games like crazy. We now have all three consoles.

    3. Hardly responds to my texts.

    4. He's not too picky with food but doesn't really like international foods except for italian or asian. I love Indian food and he can't stand it, so I hardly get to eat it

    5. Will only watch my rom-coms if I watch one of his action/thriller movies. We hardly ever get just one movie from Redbox because we have such different tastes.

    We have every console from the atari or whatever the first video game system was.  Every.single.one of them so I feel you on the video games.

  • Love:

    1. He is a much better person than I am. More sympathetic, caring and understanding. And being with him has made me a better person.

    2. He is always concerned about my health and safety. He tells me to drive safely every time I leave the house.

    3. I love watching him interact with kids and animals. He is so sweet and gentle. And he loves our niece so much, I really cannot wait to see him as a dad.

    4. He waits on me hand and foot. He will get me water, or he'll run out late at night to get me a snack or medicine or anything. I tell him all the time that he's going to be the best husband of a pregnant woman ever.

    5. He almost never gets annoyed with me and he never gets mad at me. Even though I can be kind of a b!tch and a nag.

    Annoy:

    1. His dirty clothes always wind up on the floor next to the hamper, and things that don't belong in the laundry, like belts and jackets, wind up in the hamper. It baffles me.

    2. He sells himself short and he never charges as much as I think he deserves for his work.

    3. He has crazy sleeping schedules. Since he's freelance, he doesn't have to get up at a certain time. So he'll go through phases where he's up all night and sleeps all day, and then he'll have times when he gets up at the crack of dawn and goes to bed at 8pm.

    4. He worries and frets and stresses all the time, about everything. I actually think he needs to talk to his doctor about anxiety, but he never does.

    5. He's not good with money. He thinks that just because he has it, he can spend it and he doesn't think ahead to what he might need it for later in the week or the month.

  •  Love!

     1.  I love how he always wants to take care of me, even if he's mad at me - he will always come to my rescue.

    2.  He cleans. He cooks.  He does laundry.  In fact, he does way more than his fair share.

    3.   I love how he gets along with everyone.  He is so friendly nad always tries to find a way to identify with someone to make them feel comfortable.

    4.  I love what a great Dad he is.  He is so kind and patient with our kiddo, he melts my heart.

    5.  I love how thoughtful he is.  He planned a whole "real" first date right before our wedding since we didn't ever have an official one... he said that it was something we should do.

     

    Dislikes:

    1.  His Harley.  That's all.

    2.  How rowdy he can get with his friends when he drinks.  I can't stand the vulgarity!

    3.  Some of his style... he dresses like its 2003 still sometimes... and like he's still 20.

    4.  This goes along with the cleanliness, but he is MAJOR OCD.  If I try to clean up and his not to his "standard", he freaks out a little.

    5.  When he argues with me (not often), he brings up ollllllld stuff.  It kills me!

    Yeah, I do that too.  lol  I still have clothes from high school that I actually wear...and dresses too. 

  • 5. Same dislike for A&M :)

    Don't worry:  Bill and I both hate tu and Tech. Yes
