My Odd Duck

Our anniversary is right around the corner and while getting ready this morning I started to think of all the odd things Steve does, his “rituals”. I compiled a short list.

1. When Steve takes a shower he enters from the left side and exits on the right, ALWAYS.
2. He drags his bare feet on the carpet.
3. After we eat dinner he always clears the table and takes the dishes to the sink, RIGHT AWAY.
4. He has to change into a pair of basketball shorts or “lounge” pants everyday right after work (and he leaves them on the floor by the bed).
5. He covers the alarm clock with a shirt every night because he says it’s too bright.
6. He has to watch Seinfeld every night at 10pm. He says it helps him fall asleep.
7. When he gets home from work he “wets” his hair because he says the gel makes it sticky.
8. Shirt tags annoy him and he tears them off (without scissors). I have had to sew several holes.
9. He cringes every time I sneeze. He says my sneezes hurt his ears. Too bad it’s allergy season.
10. Whenever a Pearl Jam song is on he has to turn up the volume and all conversation has to STOP.
11. When he rinses his mouth after brushing his teeth, he drinks from the sink. He literally angles his head to the side and slurps from the faucet. It looks really funny because he is so tall. I told him normal people scoop water into their hand and then rinse, right?

And for all these things, I love My Odd Duck.
