So, a few of you noticed that Marko had his hand in his pants while he was sleeping?
After I posted that pic and started reading the comments, I suddenly had a "oops, have I over-shared again??" moment, so I called Marko.
Me: So, I posted that pic of you and Adam on my blog this morning
Marko: Ja?
Me: Well, you have your hand in your pants. Are you ok with me posting the pic?
Marko: I have my hand in my pants?
Me: Yes, you know. You know how you always have your hand in your pants when you lie on the couch watching TV?
Marko: No?
Me: Yes you do! You told me it keeps your hand warm?
Marko: Oh, didn't realize I do it. Fine, whatever. But in future, do you think you could ask me BEFORE you post a pic rather than afterwards.
Orange is right, it's his lovey. And it keeps his hand warm. Or whatever. Perhaps if I had some of what he had, I would also want to 'keep my hand warm' with my lovey.
PS it is our ninth wedding anniversary today. I got coffee in bed this morning. I didn't have the heart to point out I haven't had coffee in the morning for the last 8 months. No gifts, obviously. Or cards. As we don't do that stuff. As my husband said to me this morning during our brief but meaningful hug: "nine long years" ;-) He's my lovey. I do love him quite a lot.
Hahaha I do that too sometimes, without thinking about it. And I didn't even notice it when you posted the picture

My husband sleeps like that too.

It's a man thing, you never know when you need to scratch so it's best to have your hand in your pants just in case.

Must be a guy thing, mine does it too. In fact, he got after our son for putting his hands down his diaper the other day and I replied that he (DH) does all the time. He was totally shocked! He had no idea that he does it.

I got sprung doing that AT WORK today by the chief neuropsychologist. I ran away before he could go all Freudian on me.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy anniversary to you and Marko!
It is important to keep one's hands warm, and the belly zone is always toasty warm.
Posted by: Orange | 22 April 2009 at 03:41 PM
My husband does the same thing! Happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary!! My hubs does the hand thing all the time too. I have been guilty of it myself. It keeps your arm from falling off the couch while you are napping.

There's an anchor beneath every wasteline. Its important to maintain an even keel...
Happy 9th Anniversary. We just had double yours last week. We do buy cards... because we have to keep someone in business... surely the local restaurants share none of our love when it comes to events such as these.... mind you ... we did take the chicklets and went out for sushi. I wonder if that marks an event.. or that we just wished to feed the family that night?

happy anniversary! here's to the next nine years...

Tell Marko he is not alone. I unconsciously rub my belly when I'm sleepy and my son now does the same. It's a great lovey because you can take it with you.

Happy anniversary.
It was our 8th yesterday. No cards. No flowers. No gifts. Just the way we like it. :-)

The hand in the pants is quite clever --it actually keeps his arm from falling off the couch while sleeping.

Happy Anniversary! Our 9th is next Wed. and we have no plans. The way it should be.

LOL- didn't even notice! Happy Anniversary!

It's my man's preferred way to sleep and sit on the couch. Funny thing is I've seen my daughter sleep that way once in a blue moon too. Too funny!
Happy Anniversary!

LOL, happy anniversary!

Congratulations!

Anyone who thinks there's something wrong with sharing the pic should get a grip. Like Marco did... HAHAHA! (Sorry)
My brothers have lazed like that on couches since I was a teenager so I noticed it immediately but thought, 'Oh, so they all do it.' ;)
Posted by: Margot | 23 April 2009 at 08:46 AM
Hi there happy anniversary. It was our third.

Billy Conally said in a comedy sketch that "god invented the scrotum so that men wouldn't have to carry their balls around in their hands all day, but it didn't work".
It is a man thing.

Happy Anniversary.
Ours is next Wed (we were thinking of your date but I'd started "going out" with another boyfriend on 22 April so didn't want to muddy those waters) - 14 years for us

Too funny....I never even noticed!

Happy Anniversary by the way.... :)
Posted by: kathleen999 | 23 April 2009 at 07:52 PM
I think 99% of guys do that. Seriously. I would too, though if I had a built in lovey like that.

Happy happy happy happy happy anniversary!

My husband sleeps like that on the couch too! But not in bed... Strange!
Happy anniversary (belatedly)!

Could you help me. Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Bse stock charts. I found only this - 1926 us stock charts. If you send any money through this button, please understand that the money is being used for working capital for blogger.
