And I Know How to Use It

Since three out of four of my readers (you can choose to read that as 75 percent, but the truth is I only have four total readers) would like to know more about the car referenced in yesterday's post, I am here today to deliver.

Nice headlights baby. Wanna take me home?

I must say I am perplexed by The Partner's captions. I mean, he cannot actually think of my car as feminine, can he? I'm sorry to burst The Partner's xenon headlights, but my car is manly. He is 4,000 lbs of testosterone-laced steel and plastic. He's aggressive. He sports black leather and a vast array of gizmos.

Ten Things He Loves About Me, Plus One

Earlier this month I posted a list of 10 Things I Hate About Me. Were this any other month, I would've probably left it at that. But this is NaBloPoMo and, as it's the Monday before Thanksgiving, my time and inspiration are in short supply. To that end, I enlisted my husband's help in following up on the first 10 Things post via this latest bastardization of the game I like to call She Said/He Said.

SHE SAID: Please list 10 Things You Love About Me.

HE SAID: Would five be enough?

SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, BUT RAISED HER EYEBROWS IN A POINTED MANNER

HE SAID: Fine. In no particular order, here goes:


1. talented writer

2. does cute things to surprise me

3. popped out a really cute baby (that looks like me)

4. tries a new recipe for dinner several times a week

5. is a freak in bed

6. pushes me to succeed

7. always wears thongs

8. has good taste in home decorating

9. laughs at my jokes no matter how dumb they are

10. likes to go places and see/do new things

11. drives a car that has allowed me to hone my mechanic skills


SHE SAID: Awwwww. But I'm not sure about #6. You make it sound like I nag you. I don't nag. You're the nag, remember?

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, BUT RAISED HIS FINGER IN A POINTED MANNER
