I was collating through paperwork and alphabetizing color-coded files, the other day.
Okay, so I was looking for a pen.
Fiiiiiine, I would have been happy finding a broken crayon…but, couldn't see the top of my desk from the paper jungle that mysteriously cropped up…seems like overnight, really.
Alriiiiiight, so a person could lose a small child in the stack of bills, that somehow magically migrated from the kitchen table…ummmmmm…what?
[sound of crickets]
PEN!!!…that's right…I was looking for a pen (or crayon) but, found a list of stuff and asked my youngest daughter about it, since, you know, it was in her handwriting.
"It's a list of stuff."
Now that we're clear on it being a list…of stuff…she went on to explain that it is actually a collective wish list she and her sisters penned, while I was away at BlogHer, of the qualities they wanted in their future husband and/or SigOth.
In the order listed (with notes added, where deemed necessary, or, at least, I felt, you know, compelled to do so, as their Muh-thuh) and YES! I asked them before I blogged it, for the sake of posterity, of course:
- Funny (Heh, guys hate this, right?!?)
- Loving
- Caring
- Good attitude
- Wants to have kids (Really? Hrmph. Go figure.)
- Tall
- A Little Older (My oldest has a little crush on the "Stay Thirsty, My Friends," dude, me too!)
- Australian (With the likes of Hugh Jackman, can you blame them?)
- Any accent (Come to think of it…Mike Holmes…aye?!?)
- Great personality
- Hugger (It's how we roll!)
- Dancer/singer/male model/body building (I kid you not, with forward slash and everything!)
- Lots of money (I guess they thought better about it!)
- Helps read to children (Preferably can read on their own, too, I hope!)
- Nice abs (SNORT!)
- Love to bake and cook
- Pretty eyes (It's what attracted me to their father, that and his nice abs, really!)
- Toned (Because, sometimes nice abs are just not enough, you know?)
- Good teeth (Or, at least, hope that one of your sisters or brother marries a dentist!)
- Animal lover
- Smooth voice (Why, yes, I do happen to own a collection of Barry White albums, why do you ask?)
- Artistic
- Sporty
- Bond with the kids
- Strong
[pause for bathroom break]
- Willing to take responsibility and take care of family when sick
- Photographer
- Traveler (Aaaaand, hopefully, take you with him, just sayin')
- Some chest hair (SNORT!)
- Whiskers (Less cat-like and more of the Johnny Depp-ish, I think!)
- Confident
- Flirty (Smart girls!)
- Loves me for me (Word!)
- Doesn't smoke or do drugs (See previous parenthesis.)
- Loves the beach/the ocean/the capes (i.e. Cape Cod and Cape May.)
- Construction worker (To build his/her mother-in-law her dream house, FINALLY, preferably on either one of the Capes, doesn't matter which, really, I'm easy like that!)
It will be fun to visit this list, a few years from now and see how we they fared (or, not!) right?!?
Riiiiiiight.
