Another List. Not so Random.

October 3, 2008

Alert. This blog has been hijacked by the man called BooDaddy.

Dear BooMama,

As I know how much you enjoy a list, I thought it only fitting that in honor of your 39th birthday today, I would let you know 39 reasons why I love you:

1. That even though you grew up in Mississippi, you didn’t realize that the Mississippi River formed the state’s western border until you were almost 30. (See also the Target “circles.”)

2. That you allowed me to get a yellow lab. And then let us also keep the abandoned stray mutt that wandered to our house a few months later.

3. That you were so loving with our aforementioned puppies that I knew you would be an awesome mom.

4. That you prove me correct on a daily basis (see #3) with Boo.

5. That you never complain when I stay up late playing Xbox with friends.

6. That you NEVER NAG me about anything.

7. In the 11 years we have been married you have never given me a to do list. Not one single time.

8. You love to keep a pretty house. (Yet somehow do not have this same compulsion about your car-but I guess that’s another list entirely.)

9. That you love your friends and are fiercely loyal to them.

10. That you can enter a situation and immediately know how to handle it (which comes in handy with a husband who has been known to fly off the handle a time or two).

11. That you appreciate my ability to fix things around the house.

12. That when I suggested it might be a good idea for you to find a hobby you took up blogging.

13. That you have never brought the laptop into the bedroom. And that is saying something since it has been in EVERY OTHER room in the house. [Or for that matter the fact that you can tell where the WiFi drops out in our front and back yard.]

14. That you love your brother and sister and speak with them daily.

15. That you have given me not only your brother and sister but their spouses as well.

16. That you love the beach almost as much as I do.

17. That you only rearrange furniture every couple of years. (First, you have a completely different disposition during the process and second, I am like a cat in that I will try and sit where I am used to sitting without regard for where I might land.)

18. That you love my friends.

19. That you make THE BEST country fried steak, gravy, mac and cheese and butterbeans in the world. And I should know.

20. That you know #19 is my all time favorite meal and surprise me with it every month or so.

21. That you can flat out cook.

22. Christ. Africa. Compassion. ‘Nuff said.

23. That you have MANY friends and can tell me exactly what is happening with each one of them at any given time.

24. That you know how to counter my arguments. (Note: not always appreciated during the argument, but definitely appreciated after I have had time to come to my senses.)

25. Your loyalty and devotion to Mentholatum. I have never met a person more devoted to a single product.

26. The sound of your laugh.

27. Your unbridled love of football.

28. Specifically the SEC.

29. Especially Mississippi State.

30. Your ability to leave work, run by the Stein Marts, go to the grocery store, and come home without breaking your cell phone conversation with [insert friend name here].

31. That you don’t not use your mastery certifucate in ANGleash to correct my grammertical mistooks (even though I am sure you are noting my mistakes in this birthday list as you are reading it.)

32. Your continual insistence that you can dye your own hair.

33. That you always take the puppies out for their last walk of the day.

34. Your love of Jan Hooks, Christopher Guest movies, Kristen Wigg, and The Office.

35. That you make both me and Boo laugh on a daily basis.

36. That you remembered to get your oil changed this week. (Wait a second. This may be more of a subtle hint.)

37. Three words: homemade chocolate pie.

38. That you LOVE a bargain and have an innate ability to hunt one down.

39. That you love me.

I apologize for covertly finding out a way to hijack your blog. (Whatup BigMama!) But I just felt that this list needed to be published so that all could know how special I think you are.

I love you,
BooDaddy

    Happy HAPPY Birthday!!!

  51. Lora Lynn says:

    Aww. Happy Birthday, S! I do have to respectfully disagree with Boodaddy on one point: I have been in said car and it is NOT unclean. It might be “comfortably lived in” but if I can still put my feet directly on the floorboard, that is considered a CLEAN car. So, see? She really is perfection!

    Hope you have an awesome day.

    And I feel for you – with your wit and BooDaddy’s wit, I can imagine that your sides will hurt on a consistent basis as little Boo grows up with his inherited wit. Lawsie, I bet that kid’s gonna be hilarious.

    And a “knuckle bump” to you for having an Oct birthday. Mine’s the 24th. Holla!

    Oh, Sophie. You are so loved by more than just BooDaddy… but most likely not as much as he loves you. :)

    May God continue to bless you more than you dreamed possible.

  118. Grafted Branch@Restoring the Years says:

    Happy Birthday, Boomama!

    (And I didn’t start writing honey-do lists for my own until I hit 40–and not because I’m bossy, but because we’re old and forgetful.)

    October 3rd, 2008 at 12:08 pm

  119. Susan says:

    Oh my word! This made me cry and I don’t even know the Boo family! It’s as sweet as my BFF Melle’s sweet tea…now that’s saying something…it’s more the consistancy of syrup. yum.

    October 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 pm

    October 3rd, 2008 at 12:18 pm

  122. Johna says:

    I think BooDaddy should be a guest blogger on here from time to time, you know rambling about things that are important to him/men. And then we can then USE THAT to impress our husbands with our new found knowledge of “insert man subject here”

    October 3rd, 2008 at 12:23 pm

  123. Alison says:

    What a wonderful list from your husband! Happy Birthday Sophie!

    Awwwww…..So sweet! Although, I can honestly say that I have in fact brought the laptop into the bedroom a time or two. I didn’t know that was a “no-no”

    Is it okay that I don’t play by the rules?

    Happy Happy Birthday….Fall Birthdays ROCK!

  127. K-Mama says:

    Boomama, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this but you are a VERY lucky lady to (1) have a man who would think and care to make such a list, (2) he would be the type guy to include the things he did and (3) would publicy state the things he did. I’m jealous! Happy 39th – I just had my 46th.

    October 3rd, 2008 at 12:39 pm

    Happy, happy birthday, BooMama! All I can say to #6 is YOU ARE THE WOMAN. Way to go!

  129. life with the wisners says:

    um, so yeah. your husband? freaking rocks.

    what’s fun about this list? is that it’s so personal but that most of “us” know a lot of these. which means. you’re one authentic gal. who shoots straight with everyone.

    we are so blessed.

    D and Boo are extremely blessed. and they know it. and just informed you.

    such an incredibly wonderful birthday present.

  154. tina says:

    Happy Birthday. I recently discovered your blog and have even downloaded your podcasts with Big and Fry. :) You guys have entertained me during some walking I’m trying to do each day. I think BooDaddy did a great job. As one who celebrated a larger birthday on Wednesday, I hope you have many more.

    October 3rd, 2008 at 2:40 pm

  155. Jackie @ Our Moments Our Memories says:

    Happy Birthday, Boomama! Ya’ll sound like you are PERFECT for each other.

    And BooDaddy’s favorite meal sounds heavenly. You need to post your recipe for chicken fried steak sometime…that’s one thing I can’t get right.

    October 3rd, 2008 at 2:40 pm

  156. Neighbor Jane Payne says:

    Well, if this wasn’t the most romantic gift ever. Boodaddy had to think of the idea, think of 39 reasons, think of how to get around the passwords, worry how grammatically correct it would be and still was able to pronounce his adoration for you. Happy Birthday Boomama and thank you Boodaddy for letting us peek into your view of her.

    October 3rd, 2008 at 2:42 pm

  157. Reformed Grits says:

    Good job, Boodaddy. That is the sweetest!

  158. Holli says:

    Happy Birthday! This is my first time reading the blog, but I was struck by two things: 1) You guys sounds like the most amazing couple ever, and it makes me think fondly of my own sweet significant other. 2) Go State! I’m an MSU grad and suddenly feel this instant connection…
    Have a great day!

    Awwww! Boo Daddy outdid himself on this one. Methinks he needs to start his own blog…

    So. Are you still balled up in the fetal position doing the ugly cry? Or are you just sniveling a bit now? ;-)

    Happy happy, Sophie. You and D and the little man make a lovely family.

    Love you, my friend.

  178. Shawna says:

    Okay. Where do I start? First of all, women are sighing all over Blogville. How romantic is this? Secondly, BooDaddy is making our dear husbands look bad – or setting a good example – we’ll see how it turns out. Thirdly, number 6 and number 7? If those are true, you are certainly making ME look bad! Ouch! Lastly, and most importantly, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are awesome and amazing! :0) Have a great birthday weekend.

    Happy Birthday!!! What a great husband you have for writing that list!

    October 3rd, 2008 at 5:59 pm

  191. Kris says:

    okay. my comment may prompt a blog of its own.

    I has your boodaddy confused with fry daddy. Since I follow your blogs pretty closely, we know this is Travis Cotrell.

    At first I thought. Well, that’s nice. Travis loves BooMama. I guess that’s what friends do. Then I wondered why on earth he would need your permission to get a dog. I became increasingly disturbed until I realized that you not only are not married to Travis Cotrell, but that this was from BOOdaddy…hence, #7’s marriage reference.

    I may not be quick, but I am not slow.

    I also am not a fan of the office – which may explain a lot for you. :)

    Happy Birthday! :) From boodiddy. :) ha!

  224. Indiana Keetha says:

    Oh My Word – - – there better NOT be ONE SINGLE DRY EYE in the HOUSE after reading THIS post.

    BooDaddy – - – you ARE THE MAN. Every woman wants to get a list like this from her hubby. Will you come to Indiana and do a seminar???

    I don’t need to say “happy Birthday” to you after this, BooMama – - – obviously it is/was JUST THAT.

    Really? Never gave him a honey-do list? And NEVER nag? Wow. You are quite the woman. On the other hand, if you’ve never felt the need to nag or give BooDaddy a honey-do list, then he must be quite the man.

    Happy Birthday.
