Magnetism... or Opposites Attract

Forget about changing him. When we got married, I thought I could change me. I mean the flaws are endless. I procrastinate like it's nobody's business, I am an object that stays at rest, my home organizational skills are atrocious, chores are such chores (I've even let that nasty guck ring form along my toilet bowls and bathtub... several times... horrible, I know), I sometimes neglect to return phone calls, I love to dine out, I love to shop, I'd spend money and live off credit if I could, I can surf the internet for hours and munch on snacks the whole time, I leave wet towels lying on the couch and bed, our dresser has become my makeup counter, my clothes have a strange habit of multiplying and crossing over onto my husband's territory, I rarely prepare meals (even on my days off), I stay up late and get to enjoy sleeping in (this isn't so bad, but my husband has to wake at an ungodly hour), and the list goes on. Some things are of couse worse than others and some things might not even be an issue except for the fact that my husband is, quite honestly (and utterly annoying in an endearing way), the Webster's definition of "perfect". Everything I lack in responsibility he more then capably makes up for. When I procrastinate, he get's it done. He is organized and prompt, he takes his social responsibilities seriously and he can be depended upon.

There are so many ways in which we are different and so many ways we are so ultimately the same. Here's hoping we can make it work because I'm truly in love with the guy.
