I have been telling Amber and Suzanne for years that I am going to draft a contract for the man that I end up taking the plunge with. The contract will contain a few "quirks" I've encountered about myself. I try to jot them down when I think of them. Here are a few I have so far:
1. I don't make the bed. I will probably pretend to make the bed for awhile when we first get married. So he will think, "Man, I married a really swell girl." But soon enough the bed will go unmade.
2. I have a hard time when it comes to fish and plants. Meaning, I buy fish and plants like they're going out of style...Unfortunately I have a hard time keeping these two things alive.
3. I like court room/ police drama programs. Like Murder She Wrote, Matlock, and NYPD Blue. These aren't particularly cool shows, so he'll just have to live with the disappointment of marrying an unhip girl.
4. I am known to say (and sometimes do) inappropriate things when I've had a bit of the good drink.
5. I am, by nature, non competitive and a bit fatalistic. So I don't care about most things. This can be obnoxious when someone is really trying to make a point, win an argument, or even beat me at a board game for that matter. I usually end up getting bored and just letting you win.
6. I need time alone. It's not personal, it's just business. The business of Rosie
Those are just a few of many points that will go into "The Contract" That way, when an argument arises involving me and my behavior I can pull out the Ol' contract and say, "Um sir, is that your signature? You can't say I didn't warn you."
