100 attributes in my future husband

The tea leaf/card reader suggested I write a list of 100 attributes I want in a husband.  I laughed and said 100 is a lot, I am trying not to have a check off list of things I want in someone, thinking it would open the door to more possible men. I am supposed to put this list near the St. Ann statue along with a white candle and say the novena - but only after ManFriend is out of the picture

  1. not cocky/conceited/know it all
  2. hard worker

  1. I wrote a list like this once. I think its good to just "put it out there", not use it as a check list.
    Once you know what you REALLY want, not what you are "supposed to want" it makes it easier to find it. (i think, hehee)
