Ten on Tuesday

August 18, 2009 By Carole

Thanks for welcoming me back yesterday and thanks for missing me!  I missed all of you, too.  It’s nice to be disconnected from the world for a bit but it’s also nice to come back and catch up.

And now on to today’s Ten on Tuesday.  The theme is 10 Traits  You Look for in a Romantic Interest.

And there he is, my romantic interest.  He’s at the beach and he doesn’t even like the beach but he goes because I love it.  That’s a pretty good trait, right there.

1. Good looks.  This may make me shallow but it’s what I notice first.

2. A great sense of humor.  Because some day those good looks are going to fade.

3. A nice ass.  TMI?  Sorry.

4. He must be a reader.  This one is a deal breaker.  I am a librarian, after all.

5. Financial security.

6. Zest for living.  He needs to be someone who never says no to a good time.

7. Support for my pursuits.  I want the space to pursue my hobbies and interests.

8. Romance is a nice thing.  Flowers for no reason, love letters, poems . . .

9. Kitchen skills.  I’d love for my man to cook me dinner now and again.

10.  Selflessness.  As in, he puts me first.  Ex:  a husband who goes on a beach vacation when he doesn’t even like the beach.

    Welcome home, Carole! Looks like you had a nice time. And I agree 100% with your list. I don’t think I’d change a thing!

    Re: #3 – It is very important. You’ve gotta have something to squeeze now and again. Or several times a day. 🙂

    That’s the perfect list. Glad you had a good time on vacation!

    I do believe that is the definitive list. Show Dale – it should be worth a mid-week bouquet! 🙂

    Welcome back. Love the list – of course #3 but #7 makes it all so easy!

    Excellent list, Carole. (My Bear satisfies every one of those criteria, inmo.) But dang, I could get the hots for your Dale, too. I think it’s the beard — I have a weakness for those…

    welcome home! I completely agree with #3, and I think I would move it up to #1 on my list 😉

    Wonderful list!

    Not shallow. Realistic. It’s nice to have something pretty to look at on car trips through boring landscapes.

    Love your list…

    And, am glad you are home – relaxed after a wonderful vacation!!!

    Can I assume Dale scores a 15 out of 10 on your list?

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
