For those of you who don’t know the hubs, which is probably most of you, let me tell you about his love of all things neat and orderly.
To put it bluntly, he can’t function in any other sort of environment.
He knows where everything goes, and if one thing is out of place it’s going to systematically drive him crazy.
Most of the time this doesn’t bother me since he’ll be the first one to start cleaning or come behind me as I’m cooking and wash the dishes as I go. Even when I get annoyed, I can’t help but appreciate this side of him because he totally balances me out.
For example, just last week the hubs went on a two day long streak where he decided that we would pull everything out of every nook and cranny in the house and clean it and organize it.
At first I was frustrated since this had clearly not been on my honey-do list for the weekend, but by the end of it I was thankful. Everything was thoroughly cleansed, we’d swapped out spring/summer wardrobes for fall/winter.
The freezers had been defrosted and updated inventories made of what was where and when it expired. Instead of dreading taking on these tasks myself and getting them done piece meal, we both felt like we’d accomplished something, we both had help, and we rewarded ourselves the next day by mindlessly relaxing & binge watching a new TV show on Netflix with all the sons.
And that had been on my list.
So that was the good. The bad? I had several things in the freezer that needed using in the very near future.
Several of those things were multiple pounds of pizza dough. So guess what? We had pizza for dinner two nights in a row last week.
The sons thought I’d gone and lost my mind. They were thrilled. This was what was on the menu with two pounds of said dough. Several of our favorite flavors and ingredients, coming together to star in one perfect pizza.
While I can flourish in clutter, the hubs can’t. The happy medium? We keep each other in sync and have many things to show for it. Not the least of which are some damn delicious dinners!

WOW… speaking of hubbies… mine would LOVE this and so would I!! Recently actually, he went to this really great pizza place and brought us home some slices. I told him he could be daring with the ones he picked for me, I definitely wanted slices with different toppings. Once of the ones he picked was VERY similar to this, and it was the most amazing slice o’ pizza everrrr- I’ll have to try this one at home!! Good for you for cleaning out your freezer.. daah, I need to do that!

Ironic, but Saturday was National Clean Out Your Fridge Day. Glad the hubs was ahead of the curve on that one š Without him who knows where I’d be?! You’ll love the results when you get around to trying it!

Yum, this pizza looks really really good! I could definitely do with somebody like your hubby in my life, to push me to do things like clean out my clothes or organise stuff!

I’m one of those cleaners, that unless it’s the bathroom or the kitchen (which needs a top to bottom scrubbing), let’s shuffle the pile of papers around to make it lok a little neater cleaners. Thank God for the hubs in my life!
