Man of the Year

Just as I finished my previous Benihana post, Rick yelled over my shoulder, "I hope you are blogging about how I am Man of the Year!"

Why would he say that?

Maybe it is because as I sit here on the couch, blogging and watching "The Bachelor", Rick is working his buns off. So far tonight he has put Gwen to bed, cleaned up a very messy kitchen (and it was from a huge lunch I made that he didn't even get to enjoy), and ironed all of his dress shirts. Now he has moved on to the laundry.

I think a Man of the Year nomination is far overdue. My husband is thebomb.com. He seriously does all the dishes in the house. Every day. I never do them. He puts Gwen to bed every night. He does all the vacuuming, takes out all the trash, and cleans all the toilets and bathtubs.

Rick pretty much never has time for himself when he gets home from work. If he isn't doing one of the above chores, he is playing with Gwen. Once Gwen asleep, he is by my side for the rest of the night.

Rick definitely wins Man of the Year. He is going to be SO happy when he hears about this. I bet he is going to want to give me a back massage.

[Update: I was right. Rick is very happy with his award- in fact, he squealed with delight. He also reminded me that this title has already been awarded to a certain someone that rhymes with Frad Mimpson. I guess Rick has stolen the title from him. Rick's last words? "Eat your heart out, Chad!" Opps, I mean Frad.]

Is that real or did you make up your man of the year? If so I give him the man of the year award too!

I am sure Bryant would do all those awesome things too if he weren't working 60+ hours a week. Ok, maybe he wouldn't but I would sure like to find out.

P.S. I was just looking to see if there were anymore funny Gwen quotes and was so happy to see there were! Those are so hilarious!

Hmmm... sounds pretty girly to me. Seriously... cleaning the kitchen, ironing and laundry. Really? Laundry? Dishes I can understand since you might have to clean them before you eat on them. But vacuuming? Bathtubs? and TOILETS!!?? Yeah. Maybe Mangirl of the year.

Still not convinced. What kind of man 'squeales with delight'?? I'll tell you... a Mangirl.

Chad said...

Wow that Frad guy is pretty ticked... or jealous. i'm glad I don't have to be jealous. The award I got was husband of the year! And was able to buy my way into that without doing any mangirl chores.

Seriously, that is pretty sweet that he does all those things. Dave is definitely NOT one to do those chores. But I love him just the same! Count your blessings and enjoy your clean house.

I just puked in my mouth, a little bit.

When are we hanging out before you pop out that baby and I move across the country?!?!?!
