I should be ashamed. I've got all of these men in my life and I never realized how many of them there are and how often I depend on them. I am only going to use part of their names to protect their identity but I just had to tell you all about these guys because I really can't let them go, it's like I'm addicted to them! I would suggest you single ladies get with these men too and even you married ones if your husband isn't doing the job. So here we go with guy number one...
I see this guy only about 4 times a year and only when I pay him. I had to sign a contract even to be with him! He's cheap sometimes and sometimes he's expensive and even though I don't see him that often when I need him, I need him! This would be my HVAC guy Kelvin S.
Guy number two I never see, I talk to him on the phone occasionally but I do know that when he comes around he gets the job done quickly. He shows up like clockwork every two weeks and brings a whole group of people with him. Just like guy number one I had to sign a contract just to be with him! I can't live without this guy, especially during the summer. I desperately need him! This would be my landscaper Robert S.
I call guy number three every couple of years though I really should call him a lot more often. He likes to be paid too, but I'm not under contract. He just likes you to leave the payment in some prearranged hiding space for him to pick up when the job is done. I really need him, but I neglect him. I'm ashamed to say I don't even know his name, just the name of his company. So we'll just call him A. This would be my gutter and window cleaner, as well as my pressure washer.
I'm happy to say I don't see guy number four that much, but he's good at what he does and he never touches a thing without telling me how much it's going to cost me. He has this wonderful English accent! This is my mechanic Paul J.
You would think four would be enough but recently a new guy has come into my life. He's friendly, relatively inexpensive, gets the job done quickly but I really hate having him around and I've seen entirely too much of him this year! This is my plumber Jim H.
And you know this is still not enough...I'm looking for guy number six! I've had a couple of references but haven't interviewed anyone yet. This would be my handyman. I have a honey do list a mile long,but no honey to do it.
So these are the men in my life. What did you all think I was talking about?? Shame on you! I'm not that kind of girl!
I was hoping that any guy I dated would be able to fit the bill so I could get rid of at least two or three of these guys, but alas, it hasn't happened yet. I could probably do some of this stuff myself, I just don't want to!
So, Dear Mr. Right, please pay attention to the jobs listed above and see if you can't help me out. As I'm growing older gracefully so is my car, house and yard and we really need your help. In exchange, I'm willing to consider taking up cooking and cleaning (maybe). Thanks in advance
C.
