He's All Mine and You Can't Have Him

J0175490I was bemoaning to Hubs the other day that Cover Girl lipstick has discontinued the color Rum Raisin.  My color.  For years.  Rum Raisin and I have a long and dramatic history together, and it was with a sad heart I learned we were being forced to part ways. 

My ever-logical Hubs wasn't impressed.  "Just find another color," he said flippantly.  Clearly, he has never searched for a new shade of lipstick.  A good trait in a husband, now that I think of it. 

The next day, he noticed me digging into the last of my Rum Raisin with a lipstick brush, and he asked what I was doing.  I explained that I thought could eke out a few more weeks of Rum Raisin this way.  He laughed and shook his head and mumbled something about being thankful that he's a man. 

When I was climbing into bed later that night, he nonchalantly came upstairs and reported, "I just ordered you seven tubes of Cover Girl Rum Raisin on E-bay."

"You did WHAT?" I shrieked.

"I found some Rum Raisin lipstick on E-bay.  It was only $2.99 a tube, and they had seven tubes, so I ordered them all."

You would think, after twelve and a half years of marriage, it would be hard for him to surprise me.  But he couldn't have shocked me anymore if he'd gone on E-bay and ordered a giraffe.   

Mine, all mine--both the lipstick and the man.  And I'm not sharing either one.

I can TOTALLY appreciate that. I am a lipstick gal. You have one awesome man on your hands!

That, folks, is love.

Wonderful man

Mary, mom to many

That is so so so sweet.

That is very very sweet!

"Clearly, he has never searched for a new shade of lipstick. A good trait in a husband, now that I think of it."
...that really made me laugh, and the rest of your post is such a sweet example of love.

A very thoughtful man. How nice!

What a wonderful guy!

Seven tubes of Rum Raisin lipstick represents a lot of kissing, Shannon...and he deserves it!

I have a man like that- DO NOT SHARE. It certainly won't be!

Wow! What a man! My man is like that in other ways, not, though, in remembering what I like or ask for. After 14 years he has just stopped asking me if I want tomatoes on my salad--but he spent three months giving me a beautiful kitchen in which to put tomatoes on HIS salad!

That is possibly the sweetest thing I have ever heard!!!! It made me weep. I should be so lucky.

Oh, that is just too sweet!! Awwwww!

He's a keeper!

Wow, you certainly know how to make us laugh. And to have such a sweet thoughtful husband. You are truely blesses.

That is TOO cool. What a great example he's setting for your kids, too. :)

That is seriously sweet. You are blessed!

ahhhh! What a guy!

What a great guy!

Now THAT is a good man! (((hug him for me)))

That's awesome. You've got a good man there! I used to wear Rum Raisin, too!

it is so wonderful to hear others have great husbands too. Sometimes, I think I am the only one then I read the blogs of you and your friends and know I'm not the only one!
Oh, and you know I am going to check CVS for rum raisin just to see the color!

Awww. That is one of the sweetest things I've heard a husband do.
