Answer: Underkläder
Question: How do you say "underwear" in Swedish?
Okay, ladies. You asked for it. You're getting it. I promise. There will be a picture of my hunky Swedish underwear model of a husband in this post. But first, I wanted to announce the winner of a signed copy of The Comeback Kiss from last week's post.
I have to say, it was a tough call, with such things as legwarmers and tan M&Ms in the running. But in the end, forced to choose the one thing I think should absolutely make a comeback, I went with...
... Hope, for the letter writing! Yes, Hope, I agree 100%. Letter writing - actual, real, hand-to-paper letter writing - should absolutely make a comeback. Do you remember what it was like to go out to your mailbox and get a thick letter from a friend or relative you actually liked? The excitement as you rushed inside to find your most comfortable reading spot, as you absorbed every word? And then the fun as you sat down to your stationery to compose your own letter, going through drafts to make it as funny or touching or whatever as the one you received? Ah, I remember those days fondly.
However, after all these years of composing and writing on the computer, I doubt I'll be the one charging the revolution. I can't write longhand. My hand starts to hurt after a few sentences. I've been on laptops since 1997. There's just no hope for me. No pun intended.
But Hope, email me at lani at literarychicks.com with your full name and address, and you'll get a signed copy of The Comeback Kiss for your own personal collection. Or, you know, to sell on eBay. Whatever.
And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for. As you remember from blogs past, I have talked about how pretty Fish was when we first met, and how I wasn't interested because of said prettiness. I even went so far as to compare him to a Swedish underwear model. Putting my money where my mouth is (this is a "then" picture, by the way; I'm no cradle robber) here you go:
Told ya.

Wait a sec... I need a nowpic, because this is totally not how I remember Fish looking in pics I've seen. And yes, I realize I am most likely losing it.

oh Lani, he's adorable. Are you taking him to the prom? (just kidding, yes, I know it's a "then").
Seriously though, what a cutie.

Hot! It's enough to tempt me to go work in a fish cannery in Alaska. Cute guy vs smelly fish... Ummm maybe not. LOL

We are talking seriously cute here!! Hubba-hubba! I used to love to fish....never hooked anything THAT fine in my life, however!! *wink* I knew there was a reason I wanted to go to Alaska my whole life! Wasn't there a movie where two people met while tossing fish? Anyone? Lani and Adam must have been the inspiration for it...

LOL. The requests for Fish pictures just never end. Okay - next week I'll post an up-to-date one.
And, yes, he was really cute. So you can see why I didn't want to give him the time of day, can't you?
Can't you?
Um... or are you wondering what was wrong with me? I'm beginning to...

Okay, fess up, Lani. How many brothers does Fish have, and are they single?
LOL...

Wow, I take a few days away from the blog so that I can actually do some work during work hours, and I return to find myself a winner. Go me!!!
