Move Over Tiger....

Dan, Ellie and I went shopping today after I got back from lunch with some of my college friends (Bre, Kim and Jessica). Ellie was fascinated with the golf clubs. When Dan would pick one up and look at it, Ellie did the exact same thing. Like I've said before...she's "little Dan".

Luckily I had my camera on me, and I got some shots of her in the putter area. She asked Dan if she could go golfing with him...that should be fun (hopefully none of the mean, old golfers are waiting behind them), not that I know from experience or anything... ;)

Not Feeling Inspired? Let me inspire you!! ;)

You Are An ENFP

The Inspirer You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends. You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority and rules. Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives. You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller! In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart. You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. And you do break a lot of hearts. At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do. You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist. How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused

What's Your Personality Type?

Moderate...Me?

I wanted to see what I was...I got this off of Ash's blog...

You Are a Moderate Mama

You're not overly political, and your views fall more with the American mainstream. In fact, it may be difficult for you to decide who to vote for at times! Your approach to politics is reasoned and well though out.

Are You a Liberal Lady or a Conservative Chick?

Disney Land it is...

Grandma GiGi and Ellie were counting the money in her piggy bank, and Grandma GiGi asked Ellie what she was going to do with all that money (about $6 worth of pennies, I need to teach her to ask Grandma and Grandpa for bills not coins). She said she was saving up her money to go to Disney Land. Grandma then asked her who she was going to take with her...she listed Grandma and Grandpa, Aaron and Tici, Lucy, Tosh and Maggie, and then said..."I'm going to take ALL the people I love."

I need to keep reminding myself that she is a sweet girl...today she was a TOTAL stinker!! We actually had to leave gymnastics early, because she was being naughty. My sweet, naughty girl is sleeping right now though!! ;)

Ode to Dan

I need to quit visiting Julie's blog...she seems to always have a "tag" of some sort...

So, tag to all you others...

Anyway, back to the task at hand...


Real men wear pink....

Name: Dan

How long have you been married? 4 1/2 years

How long did you date? 5 1/2 months dating, 5 1/2 months engaged

How old is he? 28

Who eats more? Dan...if you looked at us, you wouldn't think so. All he does is eat!! It is SO unfair!!

Who is taller? Dan.

Who sings the best? Dan...when we were dating, we went to Johnny B's. Dan got hypnotized, and sang Firehouse's ballad, "When I look into your Eyes". He even dedicated the song to me!! Now, I didn't marry him necessarily because I thought it was romantic, I just thought it would be a waste of a good tape (I made him buy the tape)...I of course used it in our wedding video!!

Who is smarter? Since he won the eating more...can I have this one?

Who has the worse temper? Probably me, but I'm not satisfied when ONLY I'm mad...I can get him pretty riled up too!! It isn't fun fighting with myself!

Who does the laundry? Dan put one of my skirts in the dryer...yeah, it wasn't supposed to go in the dryer. Ellie uses my old one for dress up now. He had to replace it with an $80 one...I do the laundry.

Who does the dishes? Dan does them most of the time. If I cook, he does them...it's a rule EVERYONE should have!!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Dan, its the closest to the door!

Who pays the bills? Dan earns the money, but I write the check... ;)

Who mows the lawn? Dan, well he weed wacks it...

Who cooks dinner? Numero Uno!!

Who drives when you are together? Dan, he doesn't think I am aggressive enough (whatever that means).

Who is more stubborn? We are equal on this, I believe...he might say me, but he's WRONG!!

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Dan, because I'm always right! :)

Whose parents do you see the most? Mine.

Who proposed? Dan, he had the ring, but he took FOREVER asking!!

Who has more friends? Dan has more that he does stuff with...I look for low maintenance friends, hanging out once a month is good for me!!

Who has more siblings? Dan by a long shot!!

Who wears the pants? Me, silly.

Permission is a TOTAL buzz kill

Yesterday, after we celebrated the February Birthdays (Mom, Aaron and Ben) at P.F. Changs, Dan said we could go shopping (EEK!!). Getting permission to shop is RARE...I usually do it with the intent on apologizing later. My mom taught me that it is easier to ASK forgiveness than permission.

As we were leaving the mall, Ellie said she wanted to go shoe shopping...She really is her mother's daughter!! I did buy Ellie some much needed pants (she went through a massive growth spurt), her current jeans are too short, but the jeans I bought her are still TOO long and TOO big in the waist.

Dan, however; is a shopping princess. He bought several new shirts and a new pair of cleats. I practically had to drag him out of the shoe store (he found some fancy shoes and also a pair of basketball shoes he wanted).

I figure that the permission factor made it impossible for me to find anything for me...There was no thrill to shopping...For me, shopping is the thrill of not getting caught...I practice my techniques on convincing Dan that I bought it months ago. It isn't any fun when he knows about it!!

Hee, Hee, Hee...
