What He'll Miss

So I always tease Steve that, though I have little quirks that irk sometimes, he will miss them when I'm gone....I'm not sure where I'm going, but it has become a catch-phrase for me to make him laugh about these little things. If you're curious, here they are:

1. When I use the microwave, I don't always cook things until it beeps, thus leaving a few seconds on the timer. They just sit there blinking at us. Who knows, maybe I'll need to cook something for 1or2 seconds later that day and that saves me atleast 2 button-pushes.

2. I like to fall asleep with white-noise. The bathroom fan is the perfect candidate.

3. I like to buy and plant pretty flowers, and then forget to water them.

4. If I turn the computer on in the morning, I leave it on all day. Even if I do turn it off, what's the point of always shutting the computer armoire door, just in case I need to do an emergency blog (????) and get the keyboard really fast. There's got to be some logic to this, I'm sure.

5. I rarely hang up the car keys on the cute little key holder I bought for this very purpose.

6. I ask him nightly before we go to bed if he checked on the kids, even if I already did.

7. I never get the mail from the mailbox. I'm not sure why. It's just down the street, but I don't want to get it. Sometimes he'll ask if I got it just for a laugh, because he already knows the answer.

8. I always move the driver's seat to the van unnecessarily close to the steering wheel so when it is his turn to drive, he acquires some new bruises on his knees before he has a chance to adjust the seat back. Unfortunately for him, I get a kick out of this scene.

Now that it's almost 4:30, I guess I should go think about dinner....(see previous post to catch the drift)

Ryan feels steves pain with the computer! Why turn it off- a computer is a stay-at-home-moms best friend! I leave my makeup and hair products on our very small bathroom counter for days- it drives him crazy. I don't know why I can't seem to pick it up.

I always loved your quirks, and I have some of the same ones, too. The recipe does have margarine and butter. Sam's Aunt taught me that they make a great consistency together.

Oh my goodness I do the same thing with the seat in our van. It drives him nuts and he always asks me why I don't move the seat back when I get out of the van. My response is why don't you move it forward for me when you get out? He doesn't think that funny, but I do. LOL

Do people actually turn of their computers during the day? I'm with you on that one!!! I love the picture you posted. You're so great Lisa. I have always liked you and I always will. It's nice that even though we mature we can still be silly quirky and playful!
