This Saturday, I’ve decided to compile a list of reasons why I sometimes fill the stereotypical “woman” role in our relationship.
-I remember the important dates. Well, so does Jenn, but I’ll add that I remember ALL the dates. In addition to the “normal” stuff (first date, first kiss, wedding anniversary, etc.), I know that we first went camping on 6/20/08. I know that our first concert (my first one ever) was on 6/17/10. She gave me a homemade photo montage for the first time on 9/5/08. And the list goes on.
-Jenn mentioned once before how she didn’t cry during Nights in Rodanthe, but I did. I cry at many “chick flicks.” Earlier this week I cried through Disney/Pixar’s Up. Like all of it. She cried at the beginning, but didn’t succumb to all of the emotional twists and turns that movie had.
-I get worried about characters in fictional shows. Like we were watching “Jem” season 1 on DVD and I got worried about a little orphan girl who was going to go blind unless Jem and the Holograms could raise enough money for her operation by doing a movie with the Misfits. It’s emotional stuff!
-Well, you heard about Stacey and Jenn installing the door on her “Stream Of Consciousness” post last Sunday. I was in the basement organizing/logging comic books.
-I also had a lot of trouble breaking down the old door frame to take to the dump. I cringed and screamed like a little girl while we ripped apart the frame. I didn’t want a nail or a piece of wood to go flying and hit one of us.
-A few weeks ago, we borrowed my Dad’s truck to haul a lot of big items to the dump and the storage unit. I’m a fairly nervous driver, and don’t like sitting up high in a vehicle, so Jenn offered to drive. And she drove it the entire day.
-On our second date, Jenn discovered my set of “Powerpuff Girls” DVDs. It’s a good show!! I have recently sold them on account that I haven’t watched them since I was a big fat loser bachelor, so I suppose I have redeemed myself.
-My nails get really long. That’s due to my forgetfulness, though, not some need to grow them long or paint them or anything like that.
-I apparently look like my Mom. To the point that people at work saw an old photo hanging in my cubicle of my Mom holding me as a baby, and asked whose baby I was holding. Sometimes when I need a haircut Jenn says I start to look like her.
So that’s the list! I hope you found it entertaining! I also want to thank everyone who participated in last week’s competition moral research. It looks like “Team Casey” won out, meaning that most of you feel that this is a reasonable service and not a form of indentured servitude. I actually went to get a gallon of milk this week and listened to my Inner Jenn and walked inside the store to get it. I also didn’t want to pay an extra $5 service fee for the gallon of milk (which was totally the motivating factor).
Have a great week, everyone!
The two of you are so cute. You are very lucky to have found each other. I have to say though, she's a better writer. Hee hee.
Casey – I totally cried through the entire movie, Up. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It was emotional! 🙂
Casey, boy do you look like your mother!!
And my husband is really good with dates too; its names he can't remember lol!
It was entertaining and you DO look like your mom! My son hates to hear people say that about him. He said, "I don't want to look like a girl."
@ JT – Thanks, and I agree that we're very lucky! I am, at least. I agree with you about the writing, but I'm trying my best.
@anotherjennifer – Yes it was!! I thought it was going to be just another Pixar kid's movie, and it was very emotional!!
@jen – I hope I don't look TOO much like her. LOL. I am bad with names, too, unless I learn them visually.
@Kenya – I sort of agree with your son!
