Quoting My Husband

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.

Getting ready to go see a movie with my father, his fiance, and my sister and brother-in-law on Saturday night.

I feel lame.

Why?

You know you're lame when your parents drag you to a 9:30 movie.

Looking at the time and thinking that we would be late.

Let's not shower at all.

::Perking up:: I don't know who you are...but I like it.

After his best friend called.

You know I was just thinking about calling Jonathan before he called, but I didn't tell him that. Because that would be gay.

2009-05-23T21:11:00.003-04:00

I can't wait for someone at work to ask me what we did this weekend.

Why?

So that I can tell them we acted like we were dating again.

Why would you say that?

Because we had so much sex.

Discussing what we were going to do in order to prepare for our Memorial Day cookout.

If we are going to make the hamburger patties tonight, then we need to clean out the fridge...the one in the hallway.

You mean we're going to throw out the Thanksgiving food? (with mock surprise)

Yes, that's what I mean.

I thought we were going to save that for next year. (trying to sound sad)

Yes, unfortunately we have 2 pyrex casserole dishes with lids that have food left over from Thanksgiving last year. As they are in our second fridge, I forgot about them for a month, saw them and put off cleaning them, and forgot them for another two months. Now, I've just been avoiding them altogether. They are going to be majorly scary.

I think I might start a new blog, something like Quoting My Wife.

No, you can't do that! That's stealing my idea! It's not allowed!

Well, I'll quote you on that.

Have you ever heard of condron.com?

Who? What? That sounds kind of familiar, but I don't know. Is that some sort of drug?

It's a site that skips you through blogs - I found it today through the visitor counter on my One Newly Wed blog.

Oh, ok, I might have heard of that then.

Laying on the floor with our dog, Penny, rubbing her belly, and then pushing her away.

I'm through with you, Penny.

After I yelled at him for purposefully spitting something on the floor while eating. (I can only imagine it was a bit of gristle or something from the meat.)

A three year old would know better than to spit something on the floor!

You can be sure our kids will.

2009-05-18T08:56:00.005-04:00

What do you think of the name Lottie?

Latee, like la tee da?

No, Lottie, like Lottie Moon. (a missionary)

I don't really care for it all that much.

You don't? I think it would be a great name for a little girl.

How about Dolly? Like Dolly Parton?

::angry silence::

We could name her Dollene, like Jolene, and call her Dolly for short.

::more angry silence::

After I made him try a sip of my mocha latte.

It's a whole lot quicker, easier, and quieter to just get a cup of coffee.

2009-05-17T00:33:00.003-04:00

Commenting on a stop sign that had a strip of neon green duct tape under the word STOP with the phrase: the man.

That looks like something you would do.

I am the man.

::pause::

Well, not really, but....

They're my delusions; let me enjoy 'em.

After pulling a burning black blob off the bottom of the oven.

Do you want it? It looks crunchy and carbony like you like it.

::smacked his arm in response::

This is a nice little grill isn't it?

Not bad considering what it is. Only 144,000 dollars.

No it wasn't.

It was 144,000 - the house came with it.

Why can't everyone be perfect like us?

What do you mean?

I am perfect, and you're perfect by association.

Oh?

Well, I may not be perfect, but I'm damn near close to being perfect.
