and he makes my lunch!

irritations turned golden.

SWAlife
i used to make fun/get irritated with gary being on SWAlife (a website to mangage his work schedule). constantly, he was clicking away to look at trips, see where people were, and hope to find a better paying or easier trip. i now view this once-hated website much differently. for you see, it was able to get us a fantastic, inexpensive trip to paris this summer. and now that i know how to use SWAlife, i must say that it's as fun as playing the quarter slots at a vegas casino! it's a rush trading trips, looking to see who has the better trip available (all other sorts of fun stuff that now i, too, am obsessed with as the husband of a air hostess).

OCD/anal retentiveness
while i too am as anal as they come, gary is fanatic about certain things that i, to be honest, could care less about. one of those is balancing the checkbook on a daily basis. per his request, i am to keep my receipts from my many debit card purchases so that he can write them in the checkbook immediately to know the up-to-the-minute balance of our account. now, after going through the checkbook and looking at the bank's balance of our account, there seemed to be a slight difference in the two amounts. three months of account statements were quickly printed out and the reconciling of the account (from the time it was opened) quickly began. SIDE NOTE: i use my debit card like it's on fire...no wonder i've had to request new cards! ... okay, back to the story. so, at the end of month two/beginning of month three, it became clear. my boyfriend's OCD/anal retentiveness caused the duplication of four transactions and a $115 in our favor!

seriously, how can i not love this boy for everything he is?!
