[...] 20, 2010 at 10:50 pm (Random Crap I Never Categorized) A loooong time ago I wrote a blog piece about my husband and how much joy I get out of the fact that he knows how to Do Things. He’s capable. [...]

Oh shut up! I can not find a real man anywhere. There you go bragging about your sexy man. :-pBefore I even read very far into this I was thinking Mike Rowe. Also a bit of Bear Grylls. The fact he can start a fire out of basically nothing is a real turn on. The accent does not hurt either.

Oh, Julie, I SO know what you mean! My friend Justin is definitely a Man. Fixes things, builds things, works on his truck and his Harley. He has a quiet confidence that is very appealing. And, he called me while that specific Dirty Jobs show was on because he thought I would want to see it. I don’t think you need to worry about Livvie ending up with a pansy – she has you and Rich to learn from!

I LOVE Dirty Jobs!! One of my Favorite shows!!My Husband is definately a MAN!!! He can build anything, fix anything and can create anthing from nothing!! He’s a home builder! Thats his job! And even though he hires out most of the work he isnt afraid to jump right in if someone needs a hand! Sometimes he comes home so stinky and dirty! I love him anyways! But then I make him go get a shower!!

My Dad is one. When he was in the hospital last year, he removed his own ventilator because he figured he would do fine without it. And now that he is home, he is hauling forty pound boulders into position to build a rock wall on our property. Bare hands, and some sweatbands. My Dad. *sniff*. My brother is one. My sister in law wanted a trellis and one Saturday morning, he simply built one. Then he dug post holes and cemented it in place so it would never fall over. Ever. He then built a matching cage for the HVAC unit. Because he knows his wife likes it when things match. He did all of this while supervising a two year old who is similarly obsessed with tools and wanted to “work with Daddy on the jobsite.” My brother. *sniff*. I have had the good fortune to date a few of these gems too. I won’t describe for now since this isn’t, uh, my blog. But yeah, let’s hear it for the rare and excellent sort of male creature who gets it and is a Real Man.

Julie – I have a MAN! He is DEFINATELY not afraid to get dirty. Most of his clothes have paint or grease stains on them. Aside of his office work clothes. He can and does fix anything and everything in our house. It saves us a ton of money.I’m glad I waited for the right Man. I would hate to have a wussy husband!Congrats on getting one yourself. If Livvie is half as smart as her Mama, she’ll find herself a real man someday!
