I feel a little ridiculous with so many special event posts lately. Honestly, if you’re prepared to stick it out with me for the next two weeks or so, all the birthdays, anniversaries and house purchases (10 days!) will be over and done with. I promise I will go back to posting about whatever junk you actually started reading NOR for in the first place. (Puppy poop? Miley Cyrus? Binge-eating?)
That being said, today is the newf’s birthday! Happy birthday to the newf! We are not exchanging presents since umm…well, houses and their contents are pricey, but I will be getting a chocolate cake that will hopefully say Happy Birthday Schwuler! on it.
Foreign insults make special occasions just that more special.
Oh – and having a low maintenance relationship that isn’t based on extravagant celebrations might just be the greatest gift we’ve ever given each other.

Hey! Where’s my “I Voted” sticker!?
For the record if I found maggots I too would be done.
Also, you ARE adorable to the point of being distracting. Clearly it’s hard to be you.
I voted! My bf is a complete packrat too!! He has Christmas candy and packages sitting in a pile in the corner of his room. I keep asking him what he’s going to do when this Christmas rolls around and all his students give him more candy. Drives me bonkers.
I’m with Maxie – if I had to deal with the TV I’d be a raging bitch.
And congrats on the nomination. I voted for you (of course)!
I am totally guilty of #1, #2, and #4. Boyfriend is eerily similar to #3, with the added bonus of his “bedtime” being like 3 am whereas I am 83 and like to curl up with a book at 11 pm. THERE IS NO WINNING!!
I find it quite intriguing that your list is so tiny.
*ahem*
oh em gee to #5. ewwwwwwwwwww. and i sleep with the tv on too, i’m just so used to it.
ps. i voted for you.
Sounds like Newf is autistic… because that’s exactly what my daughter does… except she’s just… well i don’t know what she’s doing but she constantly is unplugging the lamps and appliances (not the fridge… yet)
J does that…turn all the plugs off when we’re not using them. More often than not I plug my iPhone in to charge and the next morning it’s still dead. Grrr
Awwwwww… Cute post… It actually made me miss living with me ex!! Oh well…
Just a couple of pointers… Doesn’t point 4 mean you guys are a perfect match!? You tidy and he’ll clean…
On the otherhand point 5 (sleeping with the TV on) would probably have made me get a different room (or a different partner!)…
Now go tell newf to open word and type up a list of all the things he cant stand about you.. I don’t believe point 1 and 2 from your quirks were his making!!
I would like to say this list was totally balanced and yes, you win.
You are a saint for putting up with the TV on.
You also crack me up
Hmm, I think this list is a (little biased …
Points on the newf’s list that make me like him even more: 1, 2, 3, 4.
(Sorry, 5 was just too much)
Points that make me like you even more: 1, 3, 4, 5.
(How sweet are you to endure waiting for toast longer than you have to, letting him fall asleep first, letting his classroom explode in your house and you deserve a fucking cash prize for talking to him while he drops some kids off at the pool?! I say you win boyfriend of the year award.)
