My Husbands

Yes, I know I sound like a polygamist from the west but I have several men that I've decided must be my husbands just because I said so. Clearly there is no one else that could take care of these men like I can and they are all just pretending to be happy with these other people until we build our big estate just outside of Pittsburgh where we could all live happily ever after.

Lately I think PittGirl is trying to take over some of my men. Actually, there are several of my husbands that she hasn't self-united with yet but last week she decided to claim Dougy from my Pirates. My original husband was a Pittsburgh Pirate for quite a few years so I feel a special claim to them. Right now I have a few, especially since I found out that Ryan Doumit is actually in my age range.... And let me tell you, he might just be more attractive than my cheating husband Nate. But Ryan is sort of on that level where he is almost too attractive to try and marry, even on the imaginary level. But now that I know he is my age, and not legally married, I have added him to my list of husbands.

Originally it was Jason Kendall, an amazing All-Star catcher for the Pirates and one of the only few bright spots on the team for quite a few years. I'm not sure what it was about him that made me fall in love but I think it has something to do with the fact that I loooooove men in uniform. Be it baseball, football, or police uniforms are NICE! Anyway in my fantasy world I would sit at the games every night and cheer him on, quietly, so the other wives wouldn't be jealous. And then we would ride home after he stopped outside the stadium to sign autographs and then we would go home and eventually have some kids that I could tote to the ball park for games.

Another of my husbands was ex-Penguin Kevin Stevens. I think this one was the start of my love of bad boys. We all know his story and his age isn't the only reason it would have been a little awkward to introduce him to Mom and Dad. When he reunited with the Pens for a couple years we were in my imaginary world working on our relationship and I was supporting him in an awkward time in his life.

While I was actually engaged, real world this time...not my fantasy, there weren't many men who I made my husbands because I had a real one on the way. But there was one guy who I just could not get out of my head and I knew in the back of my mind that he was one of my husbands. He was a contestant on American Idol and he had the most amazing voice. Sure enough today he's a world famous singer, Chris Daughtry. Absolutely love him and whenever I listen to his CD on my shower radio I imagine him singing to me on stage at one of his shows. [Sidebar, I actually went to see him and Bon Jovi a few months ago in concert and I was literally feet away from him thanks to the awesome seats that one of my friends real husbands got us for a whopping $5!!!]

By this point I think you can tell that I have a certain type of man that I am insanely attracted to. I like the men who speak their mind, don't back down and aren't afraid to get dirty. I like the trouble and the danger that men can bring to my life. That probably explains why I have such bad luck in real life.

Now I have my new Alaskan husband, Blake, who seems to be a big time good guy. He saves people on sinking ships and works his mega-cute butt off catching fish. But still he has the dangerous side being that he fishes in 40 foot waves in the middle of the freaking Alaskian ocean. But in my world, the night we met, I had a lovely time while he showed me around his ship, the place he goes when he is forced to leave me and make the big bucks.

Then there is Nate..... I don't know much about him in real life except for the fact that he's been cheating on me.

OMG! I almost forgot my husband that I sort of work with!! I could I ever do that! I claimed him as my husband the first time I saw him bring a truly critical patient into the ER. The only sad part is that I've been calling him my husband for so long that most of the people that know us call us married (real life girlfriend doesn't enjoy that) and I can't even think of him in that way anymore because he's such a really really good friend. But he is my husband.

What if...

Ok so lets just throw this out there real quick because this is the last time I'm gonna talk about it...... Today was supposed to be my wedding. I'm over it... lets have no further mention of it today.

Anyways, instead today is my last day at the hospital. I'm working daylight which is strange for me because I'm an evening person but this does mean I get to go home and watch the Steeler game after work. (FYI... amazing site full of drunken pictures of athletes...www.drunkathlete.com....I know the URL is a little predictable.) I've already seen who my real friends are. One of the girls I work with brought in a cake already and I have a feeling there could be more suprises in store. I'm not saying that I want presents or anything but just the fact that people are willing to do something nice for me makes me feel good and makes me feel like I might have done something right while I've been here.
