    I remember participating in one of these when I first joined the BeeHive, and it was so much fun!  I shortened it to 5 things from 10 since that might be easier for everyone.

    Me:

    1. I really wish I could get back to wearing skirts & dresses.  I can't tell you the last time I wore something other than blue jeans.  I want to feel (and look) like a woman again.  :)
    2. For some reason I enjoy watching "iCarly" and "Drake & Josh" on Nickelodeon.  Don't judge.
    3. I styled my hair yesterday and freaked out because I think I'm going bald in my bangs, but my fiance says it's just how I had it parted.  Still unsure about that...gonna go check out the Rogaine website.
    4. I regret not going to UGA because a cute bulldog is a much better mascot than my alma mater's (Stormy petrel---a seabird that throws up on its predators when disturbed).
    5. I bought a pack of fake nails & superglue from Dollar General the other day, and I swear it looked better than if I had gone to a nail salon.  Only $3 instead of $25 for a full set!

    Him:

    1. He has this one gray hair in his eyelashes that bugs me to no end, but he won't let me pluck it out.  He's scared of the pain, but he lets me pluck the ones in his beard.
    2. Texas Pete hot sauce is the one thing he couldn't live without (other than me, of course).
    3. He refuses to wear anything pink even though I try to convince him that he'd look so cute in a pink polo.  Never gonna happen.
    4. He broke his finger playing basketball a few years ago and never got it properly set, and so it's very crooked & weird looking.  Thank God, it's his ring finger on his right hand and not his left.
    5. He's so laid back & calm about everything that it totally balances out my hot temper, but sometimes I'd wish he'd make a firm decision instead of leaving it up to me to figure out what's for dinner or what movie to watch.  :P

    Gingersnap    August 2000   Ontario, Canada

    Me:

    1. I have never seen a movie I didn't like.

    2. I drink way too much diet coke, it's disturbing.

    3. I have never had my nails done! I've also never gone without nail polish for more than an hour or so since I was eight years old.

    4. I hate my name. Everyone tells me it's pretty but it seems so plain to me. 

    5. I read at an incredibly fast pace. I got through the last Harry Potter book in under 4 hours.

    Him:

    1. He pretends to love his orange hair, but is not-so-secretly wishing for it to turn brown like his father's did.

    2. He is obsessed with colognes. He has at least 15 now, and constantly talks about wanting to buy more.

    3. He'll eat anything. Anything.

    4. He is the most friendly person I've ever met. I've never heard of anyone who doesn't like him. (His "best friends" number around 20)

    5. When we drink with his friends he'll order beer to fit in with them, but he would really rather have a sugary girl drink.

    Me:

     

    • I speak loud when I'm excited (typical Italian).  People always tell me to stop yelling, but I'm not yelling.  Just talking loud. 
    • I make a mean ass Sunday gravy (yet another Italian thing).
    • I am so upset that I can't drink water at my desk at work.  I'm going to dehydrate.  I will never have time to go take a quick break to get in the water.  All I ever drink is water and it's a lot during the day.
    • I was and still kind of obsessed with The Little Mermaid. Every Christmas and birthday presents for the first 7 years of my life contains pictures of me opening up The Little Mermaid gifts or wearing something related.  Yeah, I totally wanted to be Ariel growing up.
    • I sigh loudly and never realize that I do.  People constantly ask me what's wrong or assume I'm upset/angry.

    Him:

    • He looks really good in gray.  Like whoa.
    • He loves a ton of mustard on his sammiches.  I thought I did until I met him.
    • The both of us were at the same concert before we met each other.  Totally fate. :P
    • He's going to live longer than me because he never stresses about a damn thing.
    • He's blunt.  I love the fact that he doesn't sugar coat things whatsoever.

    I'm bored, I'll play. :) These aren't going to be super interesting though, as I'm tired. :p

    ME:

    1. I'm obsessed with criminal-shows even though I know they have very little basis in reality. :) Think: Law & Order (any of them), Fairly Legal, The Closer, NCIS.

    2. I could be a "professional reader" if only I got paid for it....The world is so unfair! Why can't I just read novels all day? ;)

    3. I'm the oldest of 4. My youngest sister is only 7 - she was adopted 3 years ago.

    4. I fully believe that we are "Debra & Raymond" from Everybody Loves Raymond. I really do think so.

    5. I'm watching Dr. Phil, and I'm totally ashamed of myself. I'm judging like crazzzzyyyy.

    HIM:

    1. He's obsessed with cars. Like, OBSESSED. He works on cars, cars are his favorite toys, he draws cars, he researches cars. I think he was a car in another life.

    2. He is also a fanatic of the "crime shows" I mentioned above. And car shows. Go figure?

    3. He thinks wedding planning is annoying; so do I.

    4. He is the pickiest eater EVER. The man won't eat anything!! No seafood. :/ Makes me sad.

    5. I swear sometimes he is hairier than a gorilla. I kind of like it. ;)

    @PitBulLover: Man, they're going to have to keep each other company if we stress ourselves to death.  Hah.  I also hate going to bed without him.

    Oh how fun!!

     

    Me:

     

    1) Almost all of my favorite movies are classics with older actors (older sometimes= now dead, i.e. Cary Grant). FI makes fun of me because I always know movies that he has never heard of but that his dad loves.

    2) I took piano lessons for 8 years and really love playing. We don't have a piano now but my grandma is giving me her piano that I first learned to play on when I get married. She has been telling FI this since we first got together, I think that she felt like it would make him propose faster. It didn't lol.

    3) I turn absolutely everything into a mirror. Doors, cars, car windows, sunglasses, my iphone screen...everything. It can be very awkward when you think a car is empty and it turns out not to be.

    4) My favorite breakfast ever is soggy toast (buttered bread cooked in the oven so the edges get crunchy but in the middle the butter just melts and gets "soggy") and hot chocolate. I don't let myself have it very often. I prefer most things barely cooked. I like it when things are still just a little doughy.

    5) I hate driving. I half an hour commute both ways every day and I detest it. If anyone else is with me at any time they are the ones driving. I get very very frustrated.

     

    Him:

    1) He eats the same thing for breakfast and lunch every work day. Cereal for breakfast (he switches between different brands) and a peanut butter/honey sandwich, capri sun, string cheese and yogurt for lunch. If there is no milk for his cereal it is not a good day.

    2) He has never bought clothes for himself. His Mom still gives him clothes when she has the opportunity and he hates shopping because of this.

    3) He can listen to almost any song and tell you who sings it. Weird.

    4) He is very straightforward. He'll tell you what he's thinking or his opinion on something honestly without worrying about how you'll react. He gets frustrated when I ask him if he's sure about something because, in his mind, he wouldn't have said/agreed to something if he wasn't sure.

    5) His best friend is his Dad. It's adorable.

    Oh fun..

    ME:

    1. I am super weird about noises...like when ppl smack their lips, crumple the bag of potato chips, "pop" their gum...all these sounds drive me insane!

    2. I change my hair color at least once every 2 months at max.

    3. I love getting tattoos but am really scared of needles...not the best couple hours when it's time for a new one lol

    4. Am a reality tv fanatic. Esp, about ghost stuff!

    5. Am obsessed with my daily planner! If something needs done it has to go in the planner! lol

    HIM:

    1. He knows everything about sports...seriously I think everything!

    2. He hates that he's balding but refuses to just shave his head....like he thinks it's all going to come back or something??

    3. He "secretly" plays with my hair before he falls asleep when he thinks I'm asleep :)

    4. He hates butter...will eat plain toast....or plain noodles...so weird

    5. He is the calmest person I have ever met. He hardly ever stresses about stuff...totally keeps me sane!

    These are great!  I feel like I'm getting to "know" you guys a little better!

    @Gingersnap: That's hilarious about your guy preferring fruity, girly drinks to beer.  Whenever I order one I can never get through it all, and so my fiance always has to finish it for me. (with a pained expression on his face sometimes, lol)

    @DesireeAnne:  Hey, didn't we all want to be a mermaid growing up?  She's the coolest of the Disney princesses, IMO.

    @PitBulLover:  Glad I'm not the only one wanting to dress more girly!  Do you like cream cheese & sour cream now, lol?  Why did it take you so long to try them?

    @AmeliaBedelia: Men definitely should have some hair on their bodies, I agree (but hopefully yours doesn't have any on his back)!

    @Running Elley:  I can't believe he never gets tired of the same old breakfast & lunch.  Weird. And now I must try "soggy toast" to see if I'll like it.

    @Crisark:  Yay for ghost stuff! 

    Keep 'em coming, ladies!!!!

    @AudzinLuv: Haha no, back hair is where we draw the line. :) He's just got a very healthy dose of chest hair and he has facial hair. TOTALLY to my liking. :)His Dad has back hair though (ew), so we'll be investing in laser hair removal one day? ;) haha.

    And

    @Gingersnap: FI likes fruity drinks too. :) He is totally shameless with it. haha. He doesn't like beer, neither do I, but my step-sister is a bartender and thinks it's hilarious. :)

    soonerpsych    June 26, 2010   Oklahoman at heart, now in Southwest FL

    I loved these too! 

    About Me:

    1. I used to be such a stubborn debater, but now I'm uber non-confrontational.  And it makes me a little ashamed that I'm going soft.  Ha.

    2. I'm allergic to cats.  But watching them on America's Funniest Home Videos might make it worth having one for the humor!

    3. I looooove board games.  We own 34. 

    4. About 8 or 9 months ago something went wacky with my taste buds and now I hate the taste of fountain drinks.  It's so sad because I love me some Dr. Pepper.

    5. I used to run cross country in high school and now I'm finally getting back into long distance by training for a half marathon.

    About Him:

    1. He chews everything.  I find pen bits, straw bits, bits of anything everywhere.

    2. He's a trivia buff.  I'm always shocked at the range of crazy stuff he knows!

    3. He openly admits that he loves the movie Singin in the Rain.

    4. He wears shorts and flip flops year round.  And khaki shorts, he hates denimn.

    5. Rachel Ray is his nemisis.  He's a food writer/chef and he just can't stand anything about her.

    @AudzinLuv: I love crime dramas too! 

    @Crisark: Ahh, I hate those kind of noises like crazy too!  And I'm completely planner obsessed.

    Mrs Sarah McK    October 10, 2010   Harrisburg, PA

    Me: 

    1. Over Christmas I watched no less than 4 hours of a Phineas and Ferb marathon while my sick nephew slept on my chest. The remote was on the other couch and I was the only one there, and didn't want to disturb him.  Now I watch it whenever I get the chance. 
    2. I love to cook, and I do 99.9% of the cooking in our house, and feel weirdly uncomfortable when he tries to cook. I rationalize to myself that he never cooks so I want to make sure he doesn't burn anything, but really I'm super possessive of the kitchen and don't like anyone else, even my husband, touching it. 
    3. My husband taught me the strategy behind Scrabble--how to maximize points rather than just make words--and now, though it's usually close, I almost always beat him. We play 2 or 3 times a week. 
    4. It will be a long time before I'm allowed to host a Thanksgiving in our home, because DH and his family have always had Thanksgiving at his aunt's cabin on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, and he would be equally horrified and heartbroken if we didn't go there. I don't really mind, it's absolutely gorgeous there, and is always super relaxing, but there's part of me that feels--and I know this is silly--like I haven't made it as a wife if I haven't hosted my own. So I do what I can to help with dinner at the cabin. 
    5. I have a bad habit or rambling when I write, be it emails or posts like this :)

    Him: 

    1. There hasn't been a girl born in DH's family in 70 something years (since his Aunt Nan, who's cabin we go to for Thanksgiving). They've had 9 boys in a row, and so now that we're married, we're both under a lot of pressure to produce a girl. 
    2. DH really really wants to have twins. Blegh. 
    3. He's obsessed with this online Lord of the Rings game called Battle for Middle Earth. He plays all the time, and usually with the same group of people, and they all have these speaker/microphone things they talk to each other through. He's made a lot of Canadian and Australian friends through the game. He has that, I have WB :)
    4. He's very blunt, almost to the point of being borderline rude if he doesn't care about something. We were at Sam's Club today and some woman was trying to get us to stop and let her tell us about Direct TV, and he was just flat out "Nope, don't care." and kept walking, and the poor girl was looking at me flabbergasted, and I had to give her an apologetic smile with a "Sorry!" (which was half "sorry, we don't have time to want to talk" and half "sorry for my husband's behavior"). I get a lot of practice out of that smile. 
    5. He's very outdoorsy. After high school he enrolled in a program called Outward Bound, which, from what I've gathered, was pretty much a 3 month long backpacking/camping/living off the land trip in Utah.

    @AudzinLuv: I do like cream cheese on a bagel but not too much. It still grosses me out if I think about it too much or if I go to a bagel place and they slather the bagel with it. Bleh! I like sour cream in small doses on the usual things like burritos and nachos. But Ive seen people lick it straight off a spoon and that makes me want to vomit!!! I dont know why it took me so long - I just had never tried them because I was always grossed out by seeing others use soooo much on their bagel or nachos. THen my freshman year of college my friends thought it was ridiculous that I hadnt ever eaten cream cheese so they made me try strawberry cream cheese. I liked it and then moved to the regular stuff.

    piglet_625    January 1, 1991  

    Me:
    1.  I despise olives.  The smell, shape, taste.... eww.

    2.  I love window shopping.  I could seriously walk around the mall, trying things on, and not buy anything.  It's so relaxing.

    3.  I love cardigans!!  I wear them almost every day.  I love their simplicity, versatility, and cuteness.

    4.  I could spend all day watching home videos of FI when he was little.  He was such a freakin cute baby.

    5.  I hate sleeping in a warm room, and I run a fan even in the dead of winter.

    FI:
    1. FI's such a goof.  He's always going to be a little kid and I love it.

    2.  FI is a dreamer.  He loves to come up with new ideas about what he wants to do later on.

    3.  FI thinks all mushrooms are poison and refuses to kiss me after I've eaten them before I brush my teeth.

    4.  FI loves to play Spades and Rook, but I'm better at Texas Hold 'Em.

    5.  FI is a beer lover!  He's tried 50+ kinds and keeps a record and loves to give other people ideas of what they might like.

    2. I love my poodle wayy too much. She's my child. Seriously.

    3. I JUST discovered Glee and I'm now completely addicted.

    4. I'm addicted to Flash games.

    5. I can't keep a gift a secret for anything.

    2. He cleans more than anyone I've ever met. He LOVES to vacuum. He does it at least five times a week.

    3. He is always so excited when American Idol comes on. (we're currently watching it now and he's more upset about people leaving than I am. You ought to see the faces he's making)

    4. He works at Best Buy and LOVES it.

    I'm in :)

    Me:

    1. My only real life aspiration is to be a mom. I mean, I'm going to school and everything, but the only job that I think will fulfill me is being a mommy. In another few years, maybe that can become a reality :)

    2. I get freckles on my nose when I'm out in the sun for a minute in the summer. Thats when I know that summer has arrived.

    3. I used to bite the skin around my nail (ie, hang nails and cuticles) but finally quit! And now I have lovely strong nails, and I'm ecstatic to keep them that way!

    4. I have a pandora bracelet, but no charms! I like the way it looks without, but we'll see if anyone gets me a charm for V-Day haha.

    5. I'm in a sorority, and we just had a MASSIVE jump in recruitment numbers (like literally doubling our size this past year) and as a result, I got 3 littles. Thus, making me the a member of the largest fam.

    Him:

    1. He's played hockey since he could walk, pretty much. He's LIGHTNING quick getting across the rink!

    2. He has Ah-Maz-ING hair. My sister calls it "The Flow". He should be a hair model, it's that amazing. I love it, and am secretly very jealous of it.

    3. He's been on the Dean's List every semester he's been at his university, and is a member of the Golden Key society as a result.

    4. He's always scheming up that  next get rich quick scheme, but his ideas are never half-baked. His ideas are genuinely interesting and no one's ever thought of them before (and believe me, I'm not just saying that). Too bad he loses interest in them after awhile.

    5. He was the only person to get my adopted yorkie to come out of his shell for. And now, my puppy Punjab is so comfy at home. I really credit my BF for helping him with that.5 NWR Random things about you & your SO:  Feb. edition :  wedding Puppypunjab

    sdrury89    March 10, 2012   Houston, TX

    Me:
    1) I love animals. I have an AA in animal science and thought about vet school but decided against it.
    2) Horseback riding is the ultimate stress-reliever.
    3) I'm training and want to run a 5K this summer.
    4) I love going to the library/book store and reading in a corner.
    5) I could "people-watch" in the mall all day long.

    Him:
    1) His car is the other woman. I've accepted this and we (me and the car) have a wonderful relationship now ;)
    2) He can pinch a penny like no one I have ever met.
    3) He is a very decisive person. Once he's made his mind up about something, there is no way to get him to change it. ever.
    4) Call of Duty Black Ops is the other, other woman.
    5) Only wants to have an opinion in the food and the cake for our wedding.

    jayce    December 10, 2010  

    Me:

    1. I love any food that is salty and sour. It's a bad idea to leave me unattended with salt 'n' vinegar chips or dill pickles. I'll keep eating them until the insides of my cheeks are peeling off from the acidity.
    2. I think I have shopping OCD. If I see a rack of shirts and there are more than one in my size, I have to look at them all to pick the one that's most perfect. If something has slightly wonky stitching, I won't buy it. If there's a shampoo bottle that looks like it may have been opened, I'll choose one from the back of the shelf.
    3. When I'm driving at night and the only things lit up inside the car are the dials and meters, I like to pretend that I'm piloting an aircraft.
    4. I don't like standing up to shower. I always turn the shower on and then sit down in the tub. I find it much more relaxing to sit.
    5. If I could change one thing about my appearance, I would wish for bigger hair. I would love to have huge, poofy, voluminous wavy hair. Instead I got flat, baby-fine, stick-straight hair that refuses to hold a curl or tease.

    DH:

    1. He has a terrible sweet tooth. He will mow through an entire box of cookies in one sitting if I don't stop him. He'll also eat fruit in such vast quantities that he'll give himself the runs. He knows this and he still can't stop himself.
    2. He likes to dress well, but HATES shopping. I don't understand how the two go together. How are you going to have nice clothes if you don't go out and get them?
    3. He doesn't clip his nails, he just bites them off. Since he can't bite off his toenails, he rips off the excess nail. It looks so painful and horrible when he does it, yet he runs away in fear when I offer to clip them with an actual nail clipper. You'd think I was coming after him with a torture device instead of trying to do him a favor!
    4. He is a soccer nut. He bought an XBox just to play FIFA. He had no other games for a loooong time, and was as happy as a clam. It wasn't until he started working for a game development company that he started buying other games.
    5. He has the worst memory for song lyrics I have ever seen. He can hum entire songs, but only remembers one line of lyrics. When he wants to sing, he will sing only that line, over and over again. You can imagine how annoying that gets!

    @jayce: My FI does the same thing with his nails...I can't be in the same room when he does it, it just grosses me out too much :)

    Me

    I'm an extremly light sleeper - which sucks!

    I have desperately trying to find a job for quite awhile now :(

    I was irresponsible when I was younger, didn't take school seriously, and am only now graduating college at 26.

    I am quite shy when in group settings or around people I don't know.

    I am a motherloss daughter. My mom died 5 and half years ago.

    Him

    FI is the heaviest sleeper. He has slept during action movies in the theater, you name it, he's probably slept there.

    He is a CPA and has 2 master degrees. His co-workers often give him a hard time about me not having a job.

    He is from Trinidad.

    He is the most forgiving person I know.

    He is in denial that he is lactose intolerant, literally! I now nearly force him to take a dairy tolerant pill prior to eating dairy, which he does. However, all those times I'm not near him - he proceeds to eat dairy. Silly boy!!

    Me:

    1) I love to drink beer. I used to drink one after work everyday until I realized it's making me gain weight.

    2) I like to shower at night so I don't have to wake up earlier in the morning.... I hate waking up.

    3) I'm obsessed with writing things down on my calendar. No seriously, I have about 3-4 different calendars in various places and each day I write an upcoming event in ALL the calendars (wtf?).

    4) I spend entirely much time playing Spider Solitaire and Minesweeper. Love those games!

    Him:

    1) He loves to look on eBay at old car parts... everyday, even when he doesn't need them and/or won't buy them.

    2) He does WAY more in a day than I could handle. Up early in the morning to work, class at night, hang out with friends AND stay up to talk to me before going to sleep. Woah.

    3) He is amazing at playing guitar. I could sit there for hours and listen to his songs!

    4) He lives to protect me (even from long distance), which is so fun! But better yet, he's not forceful about it or overly jealous. Yay!

    I guess I will play on this one :)

     

    Me:

    1. I love pickles..and drink pickle juice.

    2. I can't sleep when its warm..if the bedroom isnt 65 then I toss and turn. There is a fan on even when its single digits outside.

    3. Im an adrenaline junkie..but not the normal kind like skydiving and such..I get an adrenaline rush off trauma (thank goodness its part of my field).

    4. I have a miniature dachshund who is basically my baby...he runs the house.

    5. I hate blowdrying my hair and will walk outside with wet hair in single digit temps and not think twice.

    Him:

    1. He couldn't be quite if his life depended on it. He just is naturally loud.

    2. He has a huge heart and takes things WAY more personally than I ever would.

    3. He has no filter...he is very much an open book to people and it drives me crazy.

    4. He babies my dog just as much as I do.

    5. His size 15 shoes are ALWAYS in my way...Im not sure how he does it because I trip over them no matter where he puts them. Its quite a talent really.

    Me

    1. I won first prize in Crop Art in the Minnesota State Fair. That's artwork made from seeds. I did Marie Antoinette.

    2. I did a year of AmeriCorps, and I love volunteering.

    3. I am way more into baseball than any girl I've ever met. I lose my voice frequently during baseball season.

    4. I can make pretty much anything from scratch. I love to make bread.

    5. I currently have a huge crush on Drake, a.k.a Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi.

    Him

    1. Played baseball in college and is good at every sport he tries. It's disgusting and frusterating.

    2. Got hit by an 18-wheeler Semi Truck early in our relationship. He spent four days in the ICU.

    3. Can eat anything spicy. He orders special super hot hot sauces off the internet to challenge his taste buds.

    4. Is French-Canadian (cool last name), and constantly corrects any French word I say (Bouillbaisse?) His family has a house in Canada too.

    5. Once, when he went out of town, snuck my stuffed hippo into my car while I was at work, with a note from him (that hippo delivered, apparently), $20, a coke and a candy bar to make up for the fact that he was leaving me for the weekend. It was the cutest thing ever.

    @Crisark:  Oh gawd, that is so adorable he plays with your hair at night when he thinks you're sleeping! That made me "awe" out loud.

    @piglet_625 and @sombra: thank GOODNESS I am not the only one who loves to sleep in a cold room! FI thinks I'm insane.

    1. I love to be alone. I think it's probably because my house was always loud and busy growing up.
    2. I try to impress people with stupid things, like the size of my family and the fact that I'm a woman and I drive stick. I'm trying to stop.
    3. My favorite websites to be on when I'm bored are house hunting sites.
    4. I love to eat frosting out of the carton with a spoon :-)
    5. I drink hot chocolate almost every night during the winter.

    SO...

    1. He has the most extreme taste in music, tv shows, and movies... Anthrax AND Jewel? Speeders AND Gilmore Girls? Crank AND Miss Congeniality?
    2. He plays a ridiculous number of sports.
    3. He is better at vacuuming and washing his sheets and towels than I am.
    4. He keeps his car (and mine) clean and prestine- he even remembers when it's time to have my oil changed!
    5. He thinks its adorable that I squirm when he pinches my "belly fat" and says "Who's got a tubby tum tum" (from Monty Python) (and I secretly don't hate it).

    @soonerpsych: Ha! My guy chews toothpicks constantly and leaves little splinters everywhere.  It's horrible, especially when you step on one!

    @Mrs Sarah McK: Scrabble strategy?  Do tell!

    @piglet_625: I'm with you on the fan all year long, both the ceiling fan and one on his nightstand.  And I LOVE Rook!!!!  That reminds me, I need to find another couple to play that & Spades with.

    @crh1729:  Your guy cleans, cooks, does laundry, and has the best butt ever???? LUCKY!!!!

    @jennab503:  Your guy has good hair and is super duper smart???? LUCKY!!!!

    @sdrury89:  Same here about the Black Ops, but I'm not that jealous, lol.

    @jayce:  I'm gonna have to try that airplane pilot thing, sounds fun.

    @stressedbride2be:  Ohhhh, I lost my mom, too.  *hugs*

    @kperry3:  My fiance does the whole Ebay car part thing, too.  I don't get it. 

    @sombra:  To think I could've been saving all my pickle juice for you instead of pouring it down the drain, I'm sorry! :P

    @ILikePink:  I must see this award-winning picture of Marie Antoinette.  And yes, Carly's bro is hot in a goofy way.

    missmouse29    July 2011   NWOntario, Canada

    me:

    -I'm sick of the winter because it is too cold to wear dresses.

    -I hate pants.

    -If there weren't other people around to cook for I would subsist off of cookies, chocolate, jubejubes and tea.

    -I am afraid of the dark (no jokes, I refuse to walk down any street without street lights, even here in the middle of nowhere).

    -I have one blonde eyelash on my lower left rim. Freaks me out.

    Him:

    - falls asleep on the couch when he's reading -- so he tries not to read on the couch.

    -not only talks in his sleep, but debates furiously.

    -cries during emotional scenes in movies

    -is the biggest movie buff I have ever met. If IMDB were a religion, he would worship daily.

    -incredible creature of habit. if you 'shake the bush' (i.e.:start the morning without coffee) watch out, because it is bound to put him in an incredibly foul mood.

    Me:

    *I absolutely love church bells. When I hear them I'm so inspired by the sound that people have been hearing for centuries. Makes me want to go to church...

    *I feel like I should have lived in a different century. Where it was perfectly acceptable to be a housewife, most men were chivalrous, and I got to wear ballgowns and go to balls.

    *I have NO talents EX: sports, music (accept for singing, but only in the choir), sewing... you name it, I suck at it.

    *I'm overly sensitive about everything, BUT I'm good at hiding it. In person I act super laid back and secure, but inside I'm a shy, sniveling little girl.

    *I want a baby more than anything...

     

    Husband:

    *He is just as stubborn as me...which is difficult sometimes.

    *He's the sweetest man I know and dotes on me 24/7 even if I don't deserve it!

    *He's even more idealistic than me (which is saying a lot)!

    *He is the most intelligent person I know, but lacks in the common sense department. So we balance out perfectly.

    *Looks very handsome dressed up in a suit or a collared shirt...mmmm:)
