So, the other day, my good friend Benjamin was sitting here in my kitchen with me when i casually referred to "the husband list". Usually it's just a funny idea but his analytical mind wanted to hear the list; an enumerated palpable bulleted list of said husband. I don't think I can really make it a list, most of the things that would be on it are just silly:
1. Must be at the ready to come into the bathroom and wash my back sometimes while i'm in the shower. See, even typing that out, it seems slightly creepy but really it's sweet.

2. Have an appreciation [he doesn't have to like them all the time] for plain cotton underwear. You get the lacy sometimes, but my butt is semi-casual, sorry.

3. encourage/instigate subtle public affection. Now, i'm not talking 7th grade make out...every where. But it's been a long time since i've had someone to love on around other people, a romantic connection that's not just a one night stand or on the sly. i want that, hold my hand, kiss my cheek

now this idea made me think of something that happened on sunday: hands down the sexiest thing that's happened to me in a while, i'm in yoga class, i'm just starting to get a headstand, so i'm trying to pull my legs up and our instructor comes over (male, Scott) and just puts his hand on my back so i know he's there, and then when i kicked up he just ever so gently caught my hips and settled me upright. i don't know why, but it was so nice.

4. patience. that's not silly. i'm super emotional, but i usually come around

5. Decisive in mannerisms: if i say that it doesn't matter where we go for dinner-- I MEAN IT! just pick something!

see, that's just five, i think you would be at this all day; i don't think there's a way to enumerate what you're looking for really.

...and yet it is captured so elegantly by "the man that I love" which is why we started talking about it in the first place...
