I like him. I promise.

I make fun of The Husband an awful lot. But my "complaints" are just observations of the stupid crap he does - frustrating, but in my humble opinion pretty darn funny. He has a lot of good attributes that more than make up for his short-falls in the housekeeping department. Such as:

• He is a CPA, and very, very smart. So smart that he barely studied for the CPA exam, and passed the first go-round. I, however, have procrastinated taking the exam for 2 years. He's offering me a payoff to start studying - when I pass I get a new iPod. Obviously, he's smart enough to know that the way to motivate me is with bribery.
• He is a really good dresser. I hear wives complain all the time about having to pick out their husbands' clothing. The Husband needs no help from me. Some women swoon over men in uniform. I swoon over a man in a well tailored suit. 
• I've mentioned before that the man can fix almost anything. My family jokes that the tools my dad has in the garage are for decoration only; I grew up in a family where we had to pay people to fix things. The Husband can actually fix things himself.
• He is a really nice guy. I often wonder why a man who is so even-tempered and sane puts up with the ravings of a lunatic like yours truly. "Even-tempered" is not an adjective any one would use to describe me. "Batshit Crazy" is a better description.
• He has an unrivaled work ethic. Anything he puts his mind to, he accomplishes. He never shows stress. A good balance for some one like me who lives in a perpetual state of stress.

So, there you have it. Just five of the million reasons I lucked out. Looking back at my blog, I felt that I sometimes come across as a thankless wife who never says a nice thing about her spouse. But I really like the guy! Of course, this post does not mean he's not damn lucky to have me, as well!
