Frank, My Imaginary Husband
I created Frank in my head to ease the pain of the truth about patriarchy and men. Frank is a handsome, wonderful, healthy, private, thoughtful, male who loves a good home-cooked meal and my company -- hee hee hee. He is a totally, one-woman man, with a hint of an accent because he is second-generation. He owns a 10-acre farm, in the midwest and he works it in his spare time as a hobby. He is 6 ft 5 in tall, wears a size 13 shoe and loves blue jeans and t-shirts. His one vice is that he smokes a pipe, but he has his organic tobacco imported from Peru and it has no additives.
He has a large farmhouse on his property and built for me a special office that is surrounded by woods on three sides. This is where I write and do my blogs and other stuff. I also take care of the chickens, goats, small piglets, cats and our two dogs, a german shepherd named Sam and a rottweiler named Joe (when they are not working with him). Frank and I agreed that the best dog trainer is another dog and german shepherds are pretty good teachers. I have my own garden, which Frank helped me to plant and I am growing muscadines for a new wine that I am creating. I also serve as Frank's administrative assistant and our accountant reports directly to me, along with the payroll clerk and farm suppliers. Our investments broker reports to Frank, but Frank shares everything with me, however he's a man's man and he wanted to handle that himself because he did not want the investor to try to get over on me -- that is the only reason. Frank is a very no-nonsense business man.
Frank gets up early every morning after we sleep together each night in a beautiful, sturdy, king-sized, oak-framed bed that he made for us before we got married. We never go to bed angry with each other, mostly because we have such a high level of respect for each other's opinions. He always wanted a wife, but he found most women to lack the perfect combination of feminine, beauty, administrative and rustic qualities. When we met, he said he knew I was the one. Frank hand-crafted my ring from a diamond he found while excavating in South Africa and he created the ring, which is set in white gold, with his welding gear. When he presented it to me, he said he would adjust the fit as needed, but it fit perfectly. Frank likes to make his own stuff you know -- he's quite handy.
On the farm, Frank takes care of the large cattle and oversees the grain, cotton, lemons, oats and bees (we make honey, too). He started the honey bee farm when he accidentally found this list of things I like. He was already a secret admirer. Frank is the best lover that I could ever have in life. It amazes me that he initially thought I would not be pleased with him since he is not the porno-stud type, just an old country boy. Child please (with three snaps and a twist of the neck)! Even though Frank is very intelligent, he has a WHOLE LOT of testosterone and he was quite ashamed of his animal nature, which I must admit is off the chain....(cough cough...er hmmmmm....clearing throat)...moving right along.
Frank says he could totally live off the grid and away from society and be completely happy with just his family on the homestead. He built and installed a solar panel system that provides up to 80% if our electrical needs, depending on the weather. We have a well that supplies our water and that has been retrofitted with a mineral-cleansing, treatment system that is state of the art. We never get pimples - LOL! Frank's hands are usually dirty because he's an outdoorsy kind of guy so I made him a special soap using the milk from the goats that we have. My favorite milk comes from Betsy because she has the heartiest appetite and her milk has more fat in it. It's the perfect soap for a working man like Frank, creamy, but not lotiony, cuts grease, not to perfumy with a musky scent. He loves it.
He allows me to practice my pagan arts because he is a lover of nature and feels that my beliefs are not out of line with nature and the natural workings of energy. I don't have to be a Christian with Frank. Oh how I love him!
Okay, enough about my imaginary man!!!
Please join me in describing your imaginary lovers, sharing your lists of faves and not so faves so that I can get into YOUR minds also! LOL!
