The downsides:<br />-never get to buy new stuff because the old stuff gets fixed.<br />-whenever we have people over & serve something great, they always assume that he made it. Excuse me, look at this chubby Italian butt & tell me I didn't cook before I met him.<br /><br />True quote from my son. He was about 4 years old & we were watching Martha Stewart. He said,<br />Martha Stewart makes 2 kinds of things: either dad has already done it or it's too stupid to do".<br />LOLMary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-1469744641544363692010-11-30T18:17:07.657-06:002010-11-30T18:17:07.657-06:00Kris - My DH (dear husband or damn husband dependi...Kris - My DH (dear husband or damn husband depending on my mood) cooks when he has to, but the best that can be said for it is he hasn't killed anyone yet. He is master of the barbeque grill though and that works for me.<br /><br />Terri - Yeah, hindsight is always 20/20 but then it has to be the right time and for the two of you, it obviously wasn't. I'm glad my books are warming your shelf and lord knows, I love the company I keep. They're some of my favorites!<br /><br />Mo~ Mine keeps me smiling too. He's the inspiration for all my heroes.<br /><br />Catslady - Smart daughter you have. When people tell me I'm lucky, I say luck had nothing to do with it. After all, I picked him out and asked him out. Frankly I was surprised when he proposed, I thought I'd have to.

It was right after my divorce and I think the brain fog had yet to lift. I probably should have held onto that one.<br /><br />I'm loving the stories about your DH, Robin. And I admit, I've had your books on my TBR shelf for a long time and somehow not gotten to them yet. But, if it makes you feel better, you're on there with some great company.

My husband did that. <br /><br />When we were dating, he would spend every weekend at my house (sleeping on the couch in the family room). Every Saturday I had to clean, so he always helped me--okay, he'd do most of it. That man is a cleaning machine!<br /><br />I'll never forget, I was talking to my mother in her room and the two of us walked into the living room together. There was Stephen holding up the couch with one hand and vacuuming under it. My mother turned to me and said "Marry him."

I unwrapped it, and wondered if it was a jewelry box, which, if you knew my husband, would be a miracle. <br /><br />I opened it up and there, lying in a bed of satin was the most gorgeous pen I've ever seen. He'd bought it at a store that only sold "Fine Writing Instruments" and spent way too much money we didn't have, but when he gave it to me, he said he'd given it to me to use when I sign my first writing contract. That was the only gift that made me cry. I'm so not a crier, but I actually teared up. <br /><br />I think he brought me good luck, I sold Romeo, Romeo 7 months later and yes, I've signed every contract (three now) with it and bring it to all my book signings. I love it.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-31102701123339511692010-11-30T06:11:00.641-06:002010-11-30T06:11:00.641-06:00No introduction needed, I'm already way in-tun...No introduction needed, I'm already way in-tuned with your books and i've loved every one thus far!!
