Happy Birthday Lee-Lee!

Today, our favorite husband, son, grandson, brother, brother-in-law, cousin, nouno and friend celebrates his 31st birthday. In honor of this most momentous of occasions, I thought I would share with you some Things You May Not Know About Lee.

1. Lee always wears an undershirt under his dress shirts. The reason is two-fold. First, he sweats easily and wearing an undershirt helps keep his dress shirt clean. Second, the dress shirt directly on his chest rubs his nipples raw.

2. Lee does not like it when other people open his mail. Even his sweet little wife. Lee has his mom so scared to open his mail that conversations like this with MamaPool would not be surprising: "Hey Pegs. I got a letter for Lee and I didn't know if it was okay to open it. It's from Publisher's Clearing House. The envelope says 'Open immediately! You could already have won a Million Dollars'....."

3. While living in NYC, Lee once invited two girls to the same event. One was his girlfriend and the other was a girl he was interested in. He invited the second girl when his girlfriend told him that she had a wedding out of town that weekend. You can imagine Lee's surprise when his girlfriend showed up at the event that night on her way home from the wedding. Turns out that the "out of town" wedding was in New Jersey. Oh, and the girls were friends.

4. Lee's favorite fast food restaurant is Taco Bell, which he affectionately calls Toxic Smell. Lee was so distraught that he didn't have the opportunity to have any Taco Bell while in the US for Thanksgiving, that he salivates in anticipation when talking about going to the US at the end of June. He orders the exact same thing every time: two Bean Burritos and a Chicken Baja Gordita. With each burrito, he uses an entire packet of hot sauce with every single bite.

5. When he was a child, Lee, mad at MamaPool for dragging him away from the McDonald's play area before he was ready to go, hid in the bushes in front of their house and threw firecrackers at her when she walked by.

6. Also when he was a child, mad at MamaPool for making him leave his friend Hillary's house before he was ready to go, Lee jumped out of the moving car on the way home to get back at her.

7. Lee's biggest fear when MamaPool first explained to him where babies come from? That he would have to be completely naked while doing the deed. Sadly, he hasn't quite grown out of this fear yet.

8. He is the kindest, sweetest, funniest, handsomest, most generous first husband I will ever have.

Happy birthday beba!
