*Disclaimer: this is the first post (and probably only post) where Gary gets to have his opinion broadcast*
I know for sure that the one trait Gary (the fiance) envies the most is my ability to see all and know all without blinking an eye. I’m not sure if it’s a “woman” thing or if it’s just an inherent ability of being ultra observant.
Gary regularly asks me where this or that is, and 9.5 times out of 10, I know exactly where it is. Now usually when he asks if I’ve seen something, I reply asking if he’s looked for it…properly. “Oh yes! I’ve looked high and low!” is the response I’m often met with. Let me tell you a little secret guys and gals, when a man says he’s “looked” for something, it generally means he’s opened up the cupboard or drawer, stared at the contents willing the item he’s looking for to appear, and when it doesn’t, he closes the drawer or door and thinks that he’s looked adequately. He doesn’t believe that searching actually requires moving things out of the way. I suppose Gary has been spoiled with my GPS-like abilities…
Gary’s response:
Bullshit! The reason why a guy can never find what he’s looking for in a cupboard or drawer is because it was likely arranged by a woman. And therefore there is no system or logic to it at all. When a guy arranges a cupboard, he’ll do it in such a way that it makes sense so that at a glance he can tell if something’s there or not. Any other guy who looks in another man’s “man drawer” would instantly be at home and able to find what he’s looking for. So this whole business about men not being able to look properly is a fallacy.
My response:
Gary packed his own cupboard so he should bloody well be able to find his stuff. And even if he moans that our domestic puts his things away, the clothes are still in the piles he created. So there!
I’m special! And not in the “I’m unique and there’s no-one else just like me” way. I’m talking about a “slightly normal with a touch of crazy and weird”. I know my fiancé appreciates my specialness because of certain things I do:
1. I make the bed in the nude (not only does it make bed-making fun, it also allows me to cool off after a hot bath)
2. I am a heater (I make winter nights more acceptable because I’m a human hot water bottle)
3. I am a neat freak (which means he hardly needs to clean/tidy up because I’ve done it way before the mess has had a chance to irritate him)
4. I am a control freak (which means he doesn’t get to do any laundry because I just have to do it myself)
5. I am a present-wrapping-slut (I absolutely adore the process of wrapping presents and decorating them, and he hates anything to do with presents, so it’s a win-win)
I’m weird and wonderful and loved for just the way I am!
What 5 things make you special aka “slightly normal with a touch of crazy and weird”?

I wish I knew why I am feeling so meh at the moment…
I’m waking up grumpy. I don’t want to go to work. I’m having trouble falling asleep so I’m going to bed grumpy. And then I’m not sleeping properly because I’m tossing and turning. And getting grumpy and irritated with my darling because he’s trying to cuddle me during the night. And then I have to drag my butt out of bed in the morning to start the whole sorry process again… On top of all that I’m wanting to update my blog but don’t know what to say.
I wish I knew why I’m feeling this way…
I wish I knew how to fix it…

I have a serious guilty conscience. Seriously!
I remember this one morning… I was making the bed and as I was shaking out the duvet when a corner pushed Gary’s iPhone off the bedside table. It crashed onto the floor and the screen cracked. I was horrified because I know how much Gary loves his iPhone, and worried as to how he’d react. He said he wasn’t angry with me because it was just an accident, but I couldn’t help feeling guilty. If only I hadn’t shaken the duvet so vigorously. If only he’d moved his phone or kept it in the charging dock. If only I’d done something differently so it wouldn’t have been such an expensive accident…
I am also easily coerced into doing things when made to feel guilty. (Not peer pressure type things, or life endangering type things…) I often say yes to people because the thought of their disappointment if I say no is guilt inducing enough. This saying yes thing also isn’t helped by the fact that I do find it difficult to say no, and because I’m a born people-pleaser.
So all in all, I’m a yes-saying people-pleaser with one hell of a guilty conscience… Nice to meet you!
