Yes, that song is really old and crusty but thats the only thing I can think of when searching my mind for lyrics that match the feeling I had when I came home from work today. : )
Okay, I wanted to put this down somewhere. It just may not happen much more in the future so I feel that it is im-por-tahn-tay to document this. And if you are reading but are not Theresa Marie Jasper I just want to put it out there that it may be a little sickening. Its sort of funny that as I am typing this, Roseanne on nick at nite is PMSing on Dan's birthday and doing a toast to the fact that he is her TV watching, beer demanding, doesnt get up even to go to the bathroom Rock. The pen in her ink, or something like that. And here I am, before marriage, experiening the sweet, mind-reading pen in my ink, er I think it is ink in my pen. but whatever, funny just the same. So I did do the dishes and the laundry yesterday then planned on cleaning the hardwood and tile floors today. And here comes the sickening "he's so amazingly amazing" part. Now you KNOW that you have found a keeper as in keep him forever when you can unknowingly train him to read your mind then actually DO what you had in mind. I didnt even mention OR hint to him that I was going to clean the floors and he didnt even stop there. He straightened up and put things away and took out the trash and even cleaned the rest of the kitchen. Then, to top it all off he doesnt ask for anything in return or even ask for me to notice. Of course, being the super excited freak that I am, I went crazy when I realized what he did. I didnt notice the hardwood floors I just thought it was the bathroom and the kitchen yet there was no, "Oh I did the hardwood too!" It was just, "well yea I cleaned a little." It was his day off and usually he rests by just chillaxing around the house. Not cleaning. But I never have a problem with it, I dont ever complain. Hmmmm, maybe that is my secret!? note to self. lol So anyway, this man just keeps getting better and better every day. And just when I think I have reached my limit at 7 years. Love isnt even the right word anymore. : )
Okay, throw up I know. hehe Well thats enough for today. I cant believe I blogged twice in a row. Ive gotten over having a picture for each post because I just want to document my everyday. Off to finish this episode of "Roseanne" yes I watch that, just love how real it is and I always laugh! then its sleepytime for me. : )
I have been with my highschool sweetheart for 11 years, yes 11 years and not married yet. We are both 28 and I just advised him that I want to be married by the time I am 30, yes we are engaged but I was in no hurry but now I think I am. He really does not clean either and I usually don't mind but there are days that I just wish he would help me out with out asking but things sometimes never change.
I am so happy that you blogged again.
Hugs

Dear Lucky-in-love-girl! You have found Mr. Perfect. I think you should propose to him! Here's a funny - my daughter was in the same situation with Mr. Perfect. She ragged on him ALL year about getting engaged, she was ready, why weren't they getting married...when all the time he was planning the way he'd propose...it was so funny on Christmas when he proposed in front of all of us! And my husband knew and told my future son-in-law not to tell me!!! Anyway, I always like the propose to him slant on things. See you at the RR!!

What a fun post! Sounds like you found a keeper. I've been with my keeper for almost 17 years now and he still manages to surprise me like doing the dinner dishes just because. :-) Congrats to you! Have you gotten my pea mail with my address? I know that pea mail can sometimes be extremeley wonky and I just wanted to make sure. Have a great day!

I love a good rant. Curse up a *&^%ING storm if you feel like it. Tell us more about your photography business! When do you 'shoot', where is your workspace, what are you charging, do you love to work indoors in a controlled atmosphere, or out of doors? are you old school or new age? (Film or digi or both?) What camera are you using? I adore your pics. And your pooch. Who DOESN'T love a man who helps out around the house? HELLO!:) Anyhooo- love your work, keep it coming!

Hey girl!
You are lucky! I didn't meet the love of my life until I was 32. Everyone asks me how "married life" is...it's the same because I married my best friend. It is so cliche' but..."you know when you know"!
