Still Going Good

Kevin and I are very happy! I feel like my good fortune is spreading to other things/people so if good things have come your way lately, well, great!

I have discovered a few things I didn't know about the man I've been dating 5 years. The most surprising is he's a better bargain hunter than I am.

I am picky. I only buy certain brands. I look at everything, try to find the best price, the highest quality, the good colors. Kevin works it to the price per pound. This has worked out well on our trips to Kroger, except we got too much dog food. He got the 50lb bag, correctly surmising that not only was it a better buy but it would feed two hungry labs far longer. What we didn't realize was our dog food storage container won't hold 50lbs. He had to get a 50 gal drum, then he had to find a different lid so I could actually open and close the drum. But we still have dog food left.

I also learned that his idiot brother calls almost every day and makes him mad. His brother likes to meddle in Kevin's business and it makes Kevin angry, but he's too nice to say so. For those of you not blessed with redneck men dove season opens this weekend. Brother invited himself and asked to borrow a gun to boot. Kevin called his father and asked Pop to talk to brother. And Pop just told brother flat out, he doesn't want you over. I'm really surprised no one's been to therapy.

I'm glad to say Kevin is just as neat as I am. He puts everything in its proper place and doesn't make a mess.

Laundry has doubled, so I wash almost every day, but I don't have to pick nasty socks off the floor so I don't mind. M used to get undressed as soon as he came in the house. M left shoes in the kitchen, socks in the living room, shirts in the hall, and jeans on the bathroom floor. Kevin wisely believes as I do- such sloppiness is a sin.

Oooh- here's the best thing, but you must promise not to swoon. He took money out of his 401k to pay off my truck! That is bar none the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me and I didn't even ask!

Gotta love the dragons.
