Politics: bikinis vs swim MuMu's ...

Chris and I have had to work rather closely this week. Our temporary help while our nanny Miriam is out of town fell through and so we are just trying to get it done. This experience has given me new appreciation for Chris. One of Rachel's therapists told me how Chris just really pushed her today at gym and she did things she has never done for us. Tonight he took all the kids by himself to Peter Piper and they had a great time.


I laughed tonight when I read an article about couple compatibility: link. It said if you want to find a great life partner that your best bet is to find a partner who aligns themselves politically as you do. Well, Chris and I are doomed. If I like Clinton he likes Bush. If I want universal health care he wants to dissolve medicare/medicaid. It made me think that honestly we are not very compatible about much. Heck we even argue about religion (and we are members of the same religion).

Example in point. We are going to Cancun later this year. I wanted to be a little cuter this year than normal. Since I have the chest of a 5 year old boy making cleavage impossible I thought this top would be adorable and not over the top (I was going to match it with some adorable board shorts).

You would think I was trancing around the beach in a string bikini and a thong if you had seen Chris' reaction. I think he would prefer I wore a suit like this.


Oh well I guess we will always be doomed to being incompatible but at least we love each other!

  1. Think of it this way. He loves you so much, he doesn't want other people oogling you. Sweet, right? I think that top is darling, but as he loves you so much, I would say relent and go along with his request.

  2. Chris is giving me a high 5... he knew you would be in his corner ;) I agree, I will keep looking.
