Yes, he does the dishes.
But the reason I'm married to him is because he watched Saving Sarah Cain last night, a Lifetime Original Movie, about an orphaned Amish family (yes take that ALL in).
Just wait it gets better.
In reference to the funeral scene wherein a fancy city slicker awkwardly shows up late (bearing flowers no less) and then has her cell phone go off Mr F said...
"That's like the worst case scenario."
"What your cell phone going off at an Amish funeral?" I asked.
"Yeah. It's bad enough that she's an Englisher." Mr F replied.
Then he smiled up at me and said "Do you love me?"
Yes I do.

I'm smitten!!! I think you hit the jackpot anyway.
I'd definitely say you hit the jackpot...can you send him over to my house and/or at the very least does he do training sessions for other husbands??? :)
Oh Mr F is going to be in love with his own self after reading the comments!
Renee,
The funniest thing I can imagine is Mr F do husband training sessions. Hilarious.
All my lingo is based on "Witness."
Yes, my brain is filled with stuff like dialogue from a twenty year old movie—but that's the reason why I leave the house without the shopping list and have to call Mrs F five times from the store...
I will tell you that all it took was those two comments... he read them and said "I am in love with myself" and then did a little jig.
Good grief.
Well, maybe the flaws are just to make the good things look better? I dunno.
Also, I finally sat down and looked at all my receipts going back to October, and HOLY SHIT am I out of control.
and I thought I was doing pretty well. If this is pretty well, I don't know what I was spending money on before! I legitimately think I have a problem!
Since you've been talking about compacting, i've been thinking about it more. I just can't seem to NOT spend money. It's weird.
Elizabeth,
I totally relate. Now I look back and just don't know what I was thinking/doing before. I really did shop for emotional reasons.
Anyway do this:
Take this week and ONLY buy food & gas. When it's one week challenges it is totally doable and it helps break the cycle.
See; and here I KNOW I'm justifying bad behavior, I have at least one weekly outing that is my main social event that includes eating out. I just CAN'T give that up and remain sane.
But maybe everything but that is doable? I'll try.
Elizabeth,
I think that's perfectly fair... if not necessary. You should go out (and technically it's food, right?).
I have had no freaking internet access most of the day! It's been killing me!!!
Mr. F., even though you are relying on a 20-year old movie for your lingo, it is still charming what a good match you and the Mrs. are. My husband also does the dishes and grocery shops (with a prepared list), and I know how valuable that really is. So, maybe it's okay to be a little in love with yourself today!
Men who do the dishes are hott!
Y'all have a good deal going on--my husband helps a LOT, but I'd love a "nightly" ritual of him cleaning the kitchen...
:)
Does Mr. F have good logistic skills when it comes to loading the dishwasher? My husband does the loading and unloading, but if I throw something into the dishwasher, I inevitably end up reorganizing it, because he fits two things into a space where ten were designed to go. It kind of makes me nuts. Mr. F strikes me as more spatially aware.
Deb,
He and I have completely opposite ideas about how to load a dishwasher. My solution is to just leave all the dishes in the sink and he can load them as he sees fit. ;)
