love thoughts by my husband.

my husband has told me the following during the course of our relationship:

• "your pores are big."
• "your nose is bigger than mine."
• "you smell like pencil."
• "your lip stuff reminds me of playdough."
• "is your hair supposed to do that?"
• "those shoes look like something zira from planet of the apes would wear."
• and this just in: "that lotion smells like someone is smoking a pipe."

these comments have been sprinkled throughout our relationship and add an endearing quality that i just can't resist laughing about. he certainly says it like it is. that and he never had any sisters. that explains a lot i think.

and i can endure just about anything when he spies my favorite flower at the store, the one that made up my wedding bouquet, and surprises me with a single stem for no reason.

at those moments, he can tell me just about anything and maybe i'll even agree.
