Super Husband

The longer I am married to Nick, the more I realize how good I have it. Last night I called Nick to see if he would like to accompany me to the grocery store and he was tired so I decided I would be brave and go it alone. Why is this bravery? Because I wasn't just buying two or three things that are clearly labeled. I was buying produce. This requires me to venture into more than two isles and I am getting anxiety thinking about it. Not only do I have to go on a mad hunt for things, I am talking about you stupid salad supreme, I have to actually pick my own produce. You all just rolled your eyes and vowed to throw a tomato at me next time you see me but you don't understand. On top of the fact that I never eat the stuff, Nick worked in produce and can pick you the best produce out of a pile of trash. He could win a gold medal if it was an Olympic sport. It took me a good hour to pick out the five produce items I needed and I will not name them for the sake of everyones last straw that is sure to be broken if you know the lameness that is my dillema. So what should have been a simple half hour trip to the store for a normal person, and a ten minute trip for Nick, was an hour+ of agony and rolling my ankle over with the cart when I realized it was easier to pull it backwards than to continue turning the cart around and going back and forth again because I couldn't spot the romaine. This just became another reason why I absolutely have to keep Nick around. Here is some of my list so far...


-Nick, unlike most men, includes vacuuming in his hobbies. He loves it.

-Nick not only loves his clothes to be freshly ironed, he irons his own. That is right ladies, read it and weep. The only time I touch an iron is on Sundays if I absolutely have to.

-Nick is super clean, he could be home all day while I am at work and I would never know it. He leaves everything looking untouched, unused and sparkly clean. (On a side note, Nick is so stealthy he doesn't even move dust particles in his path. It is a big joke in the family, he is always disappearing and reappearing like his existence is hooked to a strobe light.)

-Nick takes care of all the finances and pays the bills. Need I say more.

-Nick always does the grocery shopping (Except for in cases like last night. Number of times I have been grocery shopping by myself, 2.)

-Nick says stuff like this, "I wish you wouldn't cook at all. It tastes good, you just make a mess."
