On the 10th Day of Christmas

My true love gave to me…Ten Lords a Leaping
Hold on to your hats and glasses, I’m switching gears. I blab on and on about how wonderful women are. And I believe it. I believe women are goddesses – the absolute beauty of this world. This does not mean I hate men – it’s the complete opposite. I love men. They are as important as women – there’s no us without them. There has to be a balance – a ying and yang. (This is not a political blog – it’s an appreciative blog. No matter what your gender, orientation, lifestyle, whatever – We are all in this world together and we need each other to survive.)
If it weren’t for men, I would probably have been a nun – but I discovered boys in kindergarten, so that lofty career went out the window. But besides being boy crazy since 6, I’ve been blessed to know some of the most amazing men on the planet. Here’s my short-list….I can’t tell you how much these men mean to me – each of them have played a special role in my life and I’m a better person for it.
My Pops – my dad is the best dad. This man built a playhouse for me, raked leaves for me to jump in, took me to the park, let me hide his screwdrivers, drove me to school (one day we missed my school and drove to his school because we were talking), drove me to college every year, moved me in and out of many places….and the list goes on.
And after all that he still builds me furniture, makes me CD’s of all kinds of crazy music, sends me funny articles on email, loves my burnt cookies and lets me keep my 8 (not 11) boxes of childhood treasures in the garage. He always checks in on us, and, like my mom, never stopped being a good parent. My parents are two of the most loyal, upright, fun and generous people I know. And the best thing my dad did for me, is to be a great man so I would choose someone just like him to be my husband.
Rob – my hubba hubbie – I won’t say to much because he’s about the only person who reads my blog and hates when anyone says anything nice about him. But I’ll tell you this much – I’m the luckiest wife on earth – I have a husband who thinks I’m beautiful.
What more do I need to say – besides this…he goes to the Beach Boys with me 2 times a year – and he goes to musicals (Rent is his favorite – not really – and Les Miserables wasn’t miserable enough – I won’t even comment on Mamma Mia), and the Renaissance Faire, any Art & Wine Festival and any local live band that suits my fancy – and all the parties, too. He carries heavy things, too.
He’s a computer geek (I prefer genius) and he invents stuff – www.robrohan.com – he will help you with whatever you need. He has scads of integrity – he’s like a gallant knight – and let’s me win Candyland. For every woman looking for a wonderful man, go find a Rob – you’ll thank me!
Okay – stay tuned – I’m just getting warmed up. More tomorrow – zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
