Top Ten List

I do not know what it is about this darn blog that brings out my inner giggley-girl, but I have decided to embrace it. If you read my musings from the beginning (right now that's from the bottom), you've seen a common theme, and you may just be wondering about that illusive guy, Prince Charming. Now, I am not so naive as to think there is just one riding around out there. Rather, I speak of the countless (hum, "countless"... is that too many to number or just "we couldn't find any to count"?) men who could potentially qualify for the honor of being my very own PC.

In order to classify as any particular woman's ideal PC, a fella has to live up to the expectations that she has been grooming since her first pretend wedding. That is no easy task. As I grow older, I realize, however, that my list of "He Must Bes" has slowly, but surely evolved into a list of "He Must Be Okay Withs." With that in mind, I seek to illustrate the sort of gentleman whose particular affinities would prepare him to abscond with my heart.

My Own Prince Charming's Top Ten Turn-ons List:

10. Over thinking it to the point of extensive pro/con listing AND heart palpitations.

9. Excessive use of pillows. (Basically there is no room for him in my bed, because I have one full size body pillow, one sleep-right pillow, and 6 other backup/cuddle pillows.)

8. Dinner time science experiments where I try to copy a favorite restaurant's specialty despite the fact that I only have 1 of the 22 essential ingredients.

7. The natural look! As in "Oh baby, you look so good when you take me out in those sweats and a pony tail!"

6. Girls who dig boys who dig public radio.

5. A passion that means I am NEVER wrong about politics or how to properly load the dishwasher.

4. Mountains of partially read books cluttering the night stand (actually overflowing to cover a 4 1/2 foot radius around the night stand would be more accurate) and piles of magazines taking up residence in the bathroom.

3. An evening of low lights, seductive dancing and 80s rock ballads on the karaoke machine.

2. Drawn-out discussions about the grammar and word choice of public speakers. (Wow, none of these list items are sentences, but all have ending punctuation! Still, I did use the word "abscond...")

As long as I am telling all, you might as well know that these "discussions" (item #2) frequently dissolve into tantrums and throwing things at the TV when the public speaker is discussing the State of the Union. Is that a turn-on?

And the number one turn-on for my very own Prince Charming...

1. Intensely beautiful blue eyes that he can stare into if he ever raises his field of vision by about eight inches (give or take depending upon whether I am wearing the baby blue number).
