Top Ten Tuesday - You Might Be Married to a Handyman If...

This is by no means a rag on Derek post.  I love all of these quirky and sometimes inconvenient things that come with being married to a handyman.  I'm lucky to be married to a man who has his dream job and is amazing at it!

You Might Be Married to a Handyman If...

1. ...your husband says something like, "I felt like half a man without my hammer!"
   
   
2. ...you open your fridge and see a giant paint roller wrapped in a shopping bag.  (He was keeping it fresh for later use)
   
   
3. ...you look in the fridge for the butter and find a sponge brush in a sandwich bag.  (Same as number 2, keeping it fresh)
   
   
4. ...your mini-van is a two-seater because of all the power tools.  (This has only happened once or twice.  Usually our van is a four-seater with plenty of room for tools)
   
   
5. ...you find a paint brush drying on the edge of your bathroom sink.
   
   
6. ...you find your husband with a far off look in his eyes.  You ask him what he's thinking about and he says something like, "tile," or "plans for the deck I'm working on," etc.
   
   
7. ...the Parade of Homes becomes a mega-date every year.  (And I love it!)
   
   
8. ...you watch a lot of HGTV because it's "educational."  (It's growing on me.  At least it's entertaining and not vulgar or violent)
   
   
9. ...your garage has some amount of sawdust in it... at all times!
   
   
10. ...your husband can make or fix anything you need!  (Yesterday he started on a great set of shelves for baby stuff.  He's almost finished; all we need to do is paint.  Pretty soon I'll have 5 more shelves to store stuff in!  Yay!)
    

PS: I told Derek he was the subject of today's post. He got pretty into the topic and gave me 12 more things to go on the list. So look for another You Might Be Married to a Handyman If... post next week!
