My fave on your list is the "Love is letting your wife blog about you and tweet about you even though you think its silly." My hubby is always like, "so what'd ya write about me this time?" I would add to the list - Love is letting your wife starve you to death by taking excessive photos of the dinner plate before you can eat.<br /> <br />Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day!Trishhttp://dishbytrish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-41486408232009121772011-02-15T14:59:56.292-08:002011-02-15T14:59:56.292-08:00Carrie- no artificial sweeteners.

Luckily he will eat tomato sauce as long as it's not chunky. So when I have dinner by myself, it's often tomato, mozzarella, and basil salad. <br /><br />(BTW, the 5AM practice times are the #1 reason my 5-year old son, who loves hockey, will never play it. That, and the crazy expensive equipment. I love him, but I guess not enough to wake up at 5AM now that he sleeps through the night reliably ;) )Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-24165393849030752132011-02-15T06:23:36.411-08:002011-02-15T06:23:36.411-08:00i am gald as well. life distracts you so it is imp...i am gald as well. life distracts you so it is important to remember and nice to hear. i love you too in spite of your quirks, food related or not. please don't go write a post now about mine :). lastly, you forgot to mention your favorite valentine's from me one year...the george forman grill. does that not say it all!Marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-79266475263646335572011-02-15T03:50:44.038-08:002011-02-15T03:50:44.038-08:00I think what many of you pointed out is that love ...I think what many of you pointed out is that love is not only having our quirks (food and others) embraced but also the compromise involved and the importance of saying thank you for this.

Respecting the other person and being willing to change (in moderation) for another person. LOVE your comment about being upset about no gym on vacation...my sister told me once when I stressed over "what I had done wrong" with some guy. She said "when they really like/love you, you can't mess (actually used the f word) up". When my sister and incredible brother in law first started dating my sister was working in a rough school in Harlem and driving a car with bald tires. She had NO MONEY for anything. For Valentine's day, my future brother in law took her car and bought her 4 new tires....that is love, that says "I really care about your safety". He is not a flowers and candy guy, but every night he comes home from work and plays hockey with my nephews no matter how tired or hard his day was. There sounds like some great guys out there...do any of them have single brothers?Melanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-49492487770541493802011-02-14T12:35:01.148-08:002011-02-14T12:35:01.148-08:00Love your post and reading everyone's love lis...Love your post and reading everyone's love list.

My husband's favourite thing is meat - hands down...he would eat it morning, noon & night. Since starting my course I've been trying to cut back on meat protein, and have been trying many vegetarian & fish recipes. And of course, my husband is the guinea pig every week. However, tonight I'm showing him some love - I've agreed to make a pasta dish with the main ingredient being sausage. In his world - that's love:) Happy Valentine's Day!Laurenhttp://www.theotherbigo.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-18923801653744733882011-02-14T10:58:30.628-08:002011-02-14T10:58:30.628-08:00Love is how Colin handled his Valentine's Day ...Love is how Colin handled his Valentine's Day gift to me this year. First, he noticed that I needed new cutting boards. Then, recognizing that cutting boards aren't a traditional VD gift, asked me if I wanted new cutting boards. Finally he took me on a shopping trip to Williams-Sonoma so I could pick exactly what I wanted. I'll show him my love by cooking an extravagant dinner for him tonight AND I'll clean up, too.
