You Can't Take the Military Out of the Man
February 1, 2011
They always say that there's no such thing as an ex-marine. I think the same could be said for green berets.
We've all see the movie of the tough drill sergeant on new recruits til they steal a top secret motorhome and invade Russia with two cute female MP's after a night of mud wrestling with John Candy and save the world.
Maybe that was just me.
My husband is very particular about some things. Last year I shared this picture of him weighing his meat before making hamburger patties.
This is how he folds and rolls his shirts in his drawer. The key is that they have to be rolled so he can read what is on the front of the shirt without pulling it out.
We keep our clothes in different rooms because of space issues but I think it's because he doesn't want me to mess up his system.
The bed in his room is perfectly smooth, his clothes in the closet segregated by season and the nicer t-shirts on hangers.
Speaking of t-shirts, I'm sporting my favorite (and only one) from Suzy of Hollywood: Where Hot Comes To Die in her blog post today. If you're not reading her blog, you're missing out on some great stories, signs from around LA, Everyone Can Bite Me Fridays and tales of her appearance on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

So glad you relinked the meat weighing.
The guy is either a genius or a mental patient.
Yep... ex Air Force hubby here and he too likes things 'just so'.
Di
That is an awesome idea for tee shirts! I shall be copying :-)
Oh, those beautiful drawers. And the fact that he does them himself.
My husband just bitches about how he wants it done.
You are a very lucky woman. And he helps in the kitchen? And he makes beds?
What are you doing to me with this housewife porn????
-->My MIL just wrote me this email:
"Just looked at the blog and loved it!! I wish that all of your readers knew that he was a “PIG” in high school. I would go into his room and would never know what clothes were clean or dirty because they were everywhere. I would even find half eaten food with long blue mold on it. So I am glad that he has changed and I guess I can thank the Army for that one!!!"
Wow kind of awesome and kind of scary - if he ever feels the need to do some spring cleaning the Bench could always use some help!
He's soooooo orderly! He would hate me!
I know for sure that our husbands must be related. In fact, looking at your husbands drawers (in the dresser. Not underneath his trousers.) makes me shudder just a little bit. It's like that Julia Roberts movie 'Sleeping with the Enemy'. Maybe we both need to take some swim lessons and get the hell out of dodge. . . Just sayin'.
My house would drive your husband nuts.
I think maybe I'm an ex-marine. I've got to try the t-shirt roll....genius!
