I realize that everyone loves their husbands for different reasons. Take some of my friends for example:
Shira probably loves David because he does their family's laundry.
Lanie probably loves Joel because he can change lightbulbs in the ceiling with a slight turn of the wrist (the man is a giant).
Esti probably loves Ari because he gave her the opportunity to become cousins with me.
Rina probably loves Aharon because he can design and hang beautiful window treatments (amongst other things)
Peggy probably loves Alan because he has introduced her to the wonderful world of Scotch (on second thought, maybe not).
Rochel probably loves Yanky because he affords her the opportunity to travel to L.A. once or twice a year.
In any event, I love my husband. Why? You ask.
Well, because when I was driving home from work on route 29 today, I had one of my typical H@rry Potter epiphanies. It was about the horcruxes. I was having trouble remembering something so I called Greg. When I asked him whether it was Tom Riddle or the basilisk who killed Moaning Myrtle he didn't laugh at me or ask my why I was thinking of such ridiculous things. He simply answered, "the basilisk". (This of course shot my horcrux theory down the drain but that is besides the point). That is why I love my husband. He gets me. Nuff said.

Posted by: David G. at December 18, 2006 06:36 PMI think I'm glad I didn't make this list.
(BTW, its nice to see you blogging more frequently now)
Posted by: aishel at December 18, 2006 07:06 PMDavid- ;)We aim to please.
Aishel: Well, you don't blog with your real name so I couldn't very well say "Aishel's wife probably loves Aishel because..." Right? (but I can come up with one if you want...)
And thanks- I know most of my topics are inane but it is fun anyway.
Posted by: peninah at December 18, 2006 07:40 PMThank G-d he "gets you"!! and I'm so happy you love him!!

Actually maybe
Diana's husband loves Diana because she comes up for witty yet poignant names for iPods (z'l)
Posted by: Diana at December 18, 2006 11:52 PMI made it to the top 6 wow yeah me and Aharon
Posted by: Rena at December 19, 2006 09:16 AMHonored to have made the list. As yes I certainly do enjoy LA.
And I will use my real name on this post (well because my name is in the post) and because apparently everyone knows its me no matter what name I use.
Posted by: Rochel at December 19, 2006 11:07 AMIt is really just a simple matter of scrolling your mouse over the name and it shows the e-mail address. You are more than welcome to use an alias, but no one thinks any less of you (or anyone else) if you comment with your real name- as long as comments are well thought out and not offensive.
In any event, I am glad I was right about you loving Yanky for that reason.:)
Posted by: peninah at December 19, 2006 11:11 AMAnd I love Rochel for agreeing to let me stay here in Baltimore with my in-laws two blocks away, my brother in law around the corner and for a short 2 month period, having my sister in law live in our house. Oh, the joy. I wish everyone could have a similar experiance.
Ah, I feel a sudden need to go shooting again. anyone up for it.
Posted by: yanky at December 19, 2006 09:33 PMOh My Gosh. I have never laughed so hard as I did when I read your last two comments, Yanky. You are the first person whose voice (dripping with sarcasm)I can hear PERFECTLY in a written comment. Funny.
Posted by: peninah at December 20, 2006 09:20 AMI'm not even going to venture a guess as to what you would say about me! I'm glad I DIDN'T make the list. :)
Posted by: aliza at December 20, 2006 10:14 AMWell, I don't have a husband so I guess that's why I didn't make the list, but IY"H when my husband fills my car with gas so I don't have to do it, I will love him for that. (How come Yehudit didn't make the list? Didn't she marry Meyer for his cheesecake? ;-))
Posted by: SaraK at December 20, 2006 03:50 PMI'm always up for shooting, Yanky. Maybe this time I'll have a few less beers so I won't have to pee on the side of 695. Yeeeeeah.
Posted by: AlanLaz at December 21, 2006 11:18 AMHow come Yehudit didn't make the list?
Yeah, how come Yehudit didn't make the list? Unless it was just too hard to come up with only one reason...
Posted by: Moishe Potemkin at December 24, 2006 03:04 PMI would have added yehudit but I limited this list to my friends who actually read the blog (burn- on Yehudit!)
But she probably loves meyer because of the cheesecake and baguettes. I know I love him for those reasons (I can say that, he is my brother in law)
Posted by: peninah at December 24, 2006 03:49 PMAlan, come on man, this is supposed to be a family blog. Keep it clean.
