13 Warning Signs that You’re Not Delegating Well »

That’s the kind of guy he is.

January 2, 2014 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

august2008This post has zilch to do with the consignment and resale industry.

It has everything to do with how blessed I feel at the start of a new year.

This is the kind of guy he is:

* On New Year’s Eve morning, he goes out barefoot* to change the Christmas lights timer from turning off at midnight, to turning off at 2am. “People will be coming home late tonight and they’ll enjoy our lights.”

* Cleaning up the kitchen after the roast chicken dinner, he carefully cleans and sets aside the wishbone to dry so we can wish upon it.**

* So okay, it was 70 degrees. Still, he went barefoot.
** But he cheats when wishboning. Doesn’t matter, we wish for the same thing: health and happiness to the other.

I hope you are all blessed with as wonderful a life partner as I have.

    Yup my “recycled” 2nd time around husband is my biggest blessing too. Happy 2014 Kate.

    My guy is thoughtful in lots of ways, and we even work together at the resale shop I manage in Chicago. He often brings me a beloved Diet Coke when he comes back to the Shop after doing deliveries or pickups.

    Kate,
    Bless you!
    It took me the second time around to find my life partner…I guess we are both recycled! πŸ™‚
