We got some coffee at a coffee ship in Wilmington, NC where they offered a free cup of coffee if you could answer the daily trivia question. The question was - How many countries begin with the letter "D"? The answer was four, and I could only think of Denmark and Djibouti. Hours later when we were eating dinner...

Myanmar!

What?

Oh...wait...

::Me laughing histerically:: You thought Myanmar started with a D?

Trying to decide what we are going to have for dinner on a Saturday night when I'm not feeling like anything will be good.

How about macaroni and cheese with some sausage?

Mac and cheese doesn't sound good to me.

How about... [sing-songy voice] mac-mac-mac-mac-a-ro-ni and cheese?

What are you doing?

Trying to make it sound different.

After our friend Stephen was hogging the keyboard he bought for his nephew's fourth birthday, everyone started joking about whether or not he had bought it for Caleb or himself.

You know, Stephen, I tried to defend you and say that you would never do that, but it was hard for everyone to hear me over the sound of you playing with the keyboard.

Proof that we see things from completely different viewpoints.

What do you think of the name Time?

Oo, Thyme? As in T-H-Y-M-E? Like the herb? For a girl? Yes, I like that. It's unusual, but I think it could work.

No, Time, as in time. T-I-M-E. For a boy.

Hmm...where did you get that?

From the western book I'm reading. There's a cowboy named Time.

Well, I like it for a girl the way that I spelled it, but not a fan of just Time for a boy. What do you think about the girl name?

Don't like the herb thing.

After trying to buy a beer that he thought I might like when I asked him to get me Mike's Hard Pomegranate Lemonade.

Ok, well I'm going to take my manly book, written by a manly man, about manly men doing very manly things...and sit and drink my pomegranate raspberry beer.

Oh! I didn't tell you, but I have a great idea.

What is it?

I think we should plan to have our first kid in mid November or early December.

What made you think of that? (Thinking my husband is so cool for thinking about when we'll have our first kid and as most of my family's birthdays are in November, that he likes the idea of keeping up the family birthday tradition)

Well, if we have a baby then, we could rent it out to churches in town to be part of their nativity scenes for Christmas.

SIGH.

You know our baby will look angelic.

Talking about how it was hard to keep up with my blogging with all the homework I have.

Could I be a guest editor for your blog?

You wouldn't be an editor, you'd be a post contributor. To be an editor means reviewing what someone has already written, and you want to write something.

Exactly. I want to be in control.

Well, it wouldn't work for my One Newly Wed blog, and I haven't been adding to it much lately anyway.

How about your commuter one?

You don't have a commute! (he drives 5 minutes to work each day)

Yes I do. I would say: I saw three squirrels today. I could do that everyday. I saw three squirrels today. I saw no squirrels today. I saw six squirrels today.

That would be extremely boring.

I saw four squirrels today, and two of them were getting it on.
