Silly Me

Since my blog is fairly new (and I’ve gotta come up with something) I thought maybe I’d tell you a little about Tony. I fully intend on doing a “how we met, dating, engaged, married, newlywed” post at some point. Maybe tomorrow. I don’t know. For now, I’ve got bullet points. So here you go.

* Things I love about Tony *

• He watches She-ra with Eliana because she’s “a good role model” (daddy-daughter time) (he just read this and informed me that “She-ra” has a hyphen so I had to fix it)

• He gets the coffee pot ready at night so all I have to do is turn it on for my coffee in the morning

• He cleans. And doesn’t have to be asked. And it’s because he wants to. (litter box, sweeping and mopping the tile, sometimes the bathroom, vacuuming)

• He never complains about my cooking even though maybe sometimes it would be justified (sometimes..not often)

• He never gets mad when I’m being lazy

• He takes care of Eliana (changes diapers, gets up in the middle of the night on those rare occasions she wakes up, plays with her, brags about her all the time)

• He never stops me from shopping and going a little overboard even though he really should (I should add that I rarely go overboard and if anything, I tend to be very thoughtful of my purchases)

• He doesn’t take it personally when I nag/bitch/yell at him when I’m in a bad mood and need to take it out on someone.

• He will go to the store, by himself, and buy me girlie products and doesn’t mind going into a bra/panty store with me

• He puts up with my controlling, possessive ways

* Things I do NOT love about Tony *

• He spends a lot of money on stupid things without discussing it with me first (he says it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission and I HATE THAT SO MUCH!!!!)

• He’s selfish about stuff so all of the money he spends is for things he wants and doesn’t think about buying things for others

• He rarely calls if he’s going to be late even though he knows how I am about that

• He makes plans with co-workers and friends without checking with me to see if we have something planned

• He makes these plans for the weekend, when he knows that’s the only time we can do family stuff and it’s the only time I don’t have to take care of the baby all day by myself

• If he does ask what I think about *fill in the blank with whatever activity it is* and I say I don’t think it’s a good idea (for any reason, even valid ones) he makes me out to be this terrible person and I’m so mean and blah blah blah

• He is so perfectionisty (it is too a word) about stuff and it drives me nuts! Like it takes him 3 hours to mow our tiny little plot of yard because it has to be perfect.

• He has a temper when things don’t go the way he’d planned them in his head and he gets cranky and acts like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum. I laugh at him, then yell at him, then come up with a solution to whatever has his panties in a wad because this is the way we deal with his temper. Don’t knock it, it works.

• He doesn’t load the dishwasher right and he doesn’t fold towels the way I like them even though I’ve shown him how a million times (This one is probably my problem, not his) (And this does not make me perfectionisty)

• He starts on a project and gets really excited about it and then finds something else he wants to do more. He can’t just make up his mind once and follow through.

• He blows his nose louder than anyone on the planet. I am not kidding. Ask anyone.

• He always complains that he’s bored, but never wants to do anything I suggest. Ok, Fine, but he never comes up with something else to do instead. He just wants to bitch about it.

• He farts in public. Loudly. And they are foul.
