Quintessential Dalai Dan
In the spirit of gratitude, brought on by the many emotional things that have occurred recently, I decided to take a moment and tell Dalai Dan what I loved about him the most:
His patience
His laughter
His naturally centered emotional state
His positive outlook
His loyalty to our family
His deep love for our children
His flexibility
I could go on…he is truly a remarkable person. How many men could deal with a wife like me that airs every thought on a international platform? And not only deals with it, loves me more for it?
Seriously, friends, I am lucky.
As the one-sided conversation came to an end, and he was quietly listening to the story of his greatness, I paused and asked him,
“So, what would you say is the part of me that you appreciate the most?”
He thought for a moment (hating to be put on the spot to express his feelings. I didn’t say he was perfect) and then said,
“You will always make me something to eat. You make dinner and make me smoothies…I like not having to worry about food.”
So, there you have it. The Dalai Lina distilled down to her basic function in this family: food management.
The bottom line, ladies, is when it comes to men, don’t underestimate the power of their stomach! They are still boys wanting to be taken care of.
cute post =)
thanks, you know DD well :)
I can hear DOuble D saying that holding his cup of ice. Lol!!!!!
BTW, he did first throw a cup of ice on it…then moved to a bucket. Still laugh at the image!!!

How can you not love him?
This totally cracked me up because I felt like you were eavesdropping at my house! Love that pic – DD and his mini-me.
Oh, so you don’t get words of love and affirmation from your husband? Makes me feel better!
I think he would say that his actions speak louder than his words…=)

Heck, I don’t know Dan, but I like him just for his stance on the expiration date of milk. (hehe, I love being a bit of a trouble maker).
Seriously, he must be quite a great guy, and we can all see that you love him very much. Great Post!
Thank you :) Sweet coming from a guy!
