My 386th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 86th thing I love about my boyfriend is when he just has to always read the instructions on food before he microwaves something or puts it in the air fryer. Like, he could have made the same thing ten times before he'll skip looking at the instructions and just cook it from memory, even though he was pretty sure he remembered the instructions by like time number two.

Hi, Journal,

The 85th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he loves to watch the best movies more than once, and the bestester movies over and over and over again.

I think we're overdue to watch all of Star Wars soon in fact!

My 384th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 84th thing I love about my boyfriend is how sometimes he sits around in his pj's because he's not ready to get going on his day, and then he gets started on something that actually is kinda going on his day, and before you know it, it's definitely way into his day and he's still in pj's.

Partly maybe I guess this is just because I like pj's!

My 383rd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 83rd thing I love about my boyfriend is the way he tries to keep from yawning when he's tired. He's very stubborn about not wanting to yawn sometimes, only you know as soon as you think you need to yawn or even see somebody else yawning, it gets super-hard not to do it right then. So pretty much always when he tries he fails, but I like how he keeps trying.

It's like he's having an arm-wrestling match with the universe.

My 382nd Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The eighty-second thing I love about my boyfriend is, he's willing to give stuff a second or third try. Like today, we watched the first episode of this most recent series of Star Trek: That Bald Guy, because he wanted to see if knowing what he knows now would make the show better.

And he thought it did!

(Although a part of what he knows now is, there's a lot of dumb stuff in the show and you have to just live with that.)

My 381st Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 81st thing I love about my boyfriend is, he may be nerdy, but he's not square ... even though this number in my list is! Also, that I'm picking up some math from him, like what square numbers are.

My 380th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 80th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he won't mind at all if an entry in this list is just, like, "WOW, JOURNAL!!! It's only 20 more entries until we get to 400!!!"

My 379th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 79th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he tries every flavor of Mountain Dew when it comes out. Like, he tried the Gingerbread Cookie kind one Christmasy season, and then some other Christmasy one the next year, and he even tried the Flaming Hot Cheetos kind. I told him not to kiss me until after he brushed his teeth really good on that one, and he said he only took two sips before he threw the rest out, and I said I still wasn't taking any chances!

But I like that he tried it!

My 378th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 78th thing I love about my boyfriend is that he reminded me I was going to say the 78th thing was eating cookies together after we bake them!

But now I already put this as the 78th thing, so he may have to remind me again tomorrow.

(Holy cow, Journal, this may be a gold mine if it keeps happening this same way!)

My 377th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 77th thing I love about my boyfriend is, baking chocolate chip cookies together!

Dang it, Journal, maybe that's kind of cheaty, because I was thinking, Plus this lets me write another post later about a favorite thing being eating the chocolate chip cookies. Do I really love making the cookies all that much? Or is it just eating them?

I do have fun making them. Although mostly all I do is lick the batter off the mixer thingies and say, "Hey, I think I heard the oven beep that it's done preheating!" and later say, "Hey, that sounded like the timer going off ... yay, cookies!"

I guess I pretty seriously love the way he looks at me and is trying not to laugh when I'm licking the mixer thingies.

Okay, not cheating! 

(Now we'll see if I remember to post about eating the cookies later ...)

My 376th Journal Entry

Hi, Journal!

The 76th thing I love about my boyfriend is, he doesn't do mean April Fool's jokes. Sometimes he does do April Fool's jokes (I mean, on some April Fool's Days, not just on random sometimes days), but they're always just silly ones, not mean ones.

And if you thought I was going to say, "April Fools!" and then admit he does do mean April Fool's jokes, I'm sorry, but this post is going to disappoint you. Because it's done now and no sign of any April Foolery!
