Okay...he's not sooooo bad...

I feel kinda guilty cause I went to a family bridal shower and shared some funny Main Man stories with his side of the family:

* Last year we decided to ditch our old fake tree and get a real one. Main Man went out and tried to buy a nice one but never having had a real tree himself he had no idea you really need to focus on what kind of tree for needle dropping rates and also how tall. He bought one that died pretty much day one and just became a dried flower arrangement with Christmas decorations hanging off of it. Now it could have been the type of tree or the fact he bought one way too tall for our room and instead of cutting it from the bottom like I thought 'everyone' knew he cut it from the top...yep... So my beautiful angel was hidden within thick tree branches. It look HILARIOUS... I will have to try and find a pic to post here closer to Christmas.

* My Main Man is a bit of a video game guy and I gave him a PS3 for Christmas last year- he flipped! Ironically he and the girls had to open their gifts quickly at 6am Christmas morning as I was very ill and had to go by ambulance to the hospital unexpectedly. Luckily my BIL and SIL came and got the girls and took them to their celebrations so that they could still enjoy the day and M.M. could go to the hospital and be with me. I had caught the Norwalk flu (gross...) and was discharged by 11am. M.M. insisted that he wasn't going to go join the girls but would stay  home to take care of me. Soooo sweet eh? I saw him exactly 2x from 11am till 4am the following day. Yep 2x I managed to be heard over the sounds of his video game crying for some gingerale. I spent Christmas Day (my fave day of the year) crying in bed alone and watching a channel that had a fireplace image and played Christmas carols for hours. Honestly the story makes me laugh now tee hee. I can always find the humour in something.

I feel guilty after telling these stories because of the following reasons today:
*He let me sleep in. He usually likes me to wake up when he is up so we can sit together.
*When I was rushing to get ready at the last minute for the Bridal shower that I found out was hours earlier than I thought he handed me a cup of tea and ironed my clothes while I got ready. He then went out to buy the gift card for me so when my SIL came to pick me up we could go straight there.
*I had quiche at the shower I feel in love with and dragged him to this ritzy store to buy one and the store was packed with seniors that drove their carts like we were in the middle of a smash up derby race. And he didn't complain....
*He said he wanted something easy for dinner like nachos and when I made a face he asked what I wanted. What I wanted was pasta with a marinara sauce, julienned peppers and onions with shrimp and fresh parmesan cheese. And that's what he made...

As much as my Main Man makes me CRAZY I really am a spoilt princess. So tonight while we are watching his type of shows and movies (Stargate's, Star Trek's and tonight's movie- Hellboy) I am pretending to be interested and looking at him when he repeats something that made him laugh from the movie and I am even asking him questions so he can clarify different things for me and show off his knowledge. I love my geek man :)
