....and things about me!!

Well, since Lisa has thrown herself out there I figured I should as well.  It's only fair right?  So here goes.....a little something for you guys to know about me:
1.  I have a shoe problem.....seriously.
2.  I am a neat freak, but not too freaky.
3.  My shoes have to match my shirt, always.  I'm not kidding.
4.  I can play baseball with both hands.  Hitting and catching.
5.  I'm a great cook.  Just ask the kids.
6.  I love golf and I'm happy I get to share this with Lisa.
7.  I just became computer savvy less than a year ago.
8.  My socks match ALL the time, but it doesn't bother me that Lisa's and the kids don't. 
9.  I work very hard and have a great career.
10. I leave my towel on the floor at Lisa's just to see what kind of reaction I can get ;)
11.  I don't make my bed at home, but I do at Lisa's.  Go figure.
12.  I like grocery shopping.
13.  I hate iphones, I'm a Blackberry guy.  Big fingers ;)
14.  I kept everything that Lisa has given me....awwwhhhh!!!
15.  I love leftovers, especially if I didn't cook it.
16.  I enjoy blogging with Lisa.
17.  I seperate my laundry....always.
18.  I love my life!!!

There you go......somethings about me.  Now you can probably see why Lisa and I get along so well........until next time, Eddy.

Things I love about me!

You know what I think....cause I know your wondering ;)....I think we don't enjoy, celebrate, love ourselves enough! So I decided to share some things I love about me...(prepare yourself for some quirkiness)

1) I put the headphones on when I'm on the computer and dance in my chair...yes I can type and dance!
2) I make my bed everyday...but I couldn't care less if my kids beds aren't made...but their rooms have to be tidy...always!
3) I actually pout...stick my lip out and pout...all by myself usually.
4) #3 happens a lot when Eddy is not here...I actually get mad at his side of the bed and turn my back on it!
5) I go to bed every night that Eddy is not here with my slippers on...when he's here he's my foot warmer!
6) I like red wine
7) I am competitive
8) I like bright colors but not typically pastels
9) I can't spell worth a darn.....(and just recently found spell check on here) yes I'm blonde ;)
10) I love sending cards in the mail to my friends
11) I'm teaching my kids about the "real" world....I tell them no one will rescue them....from our life! lol kiddin' ....
12) I swear....typically a lot! and I let the kids swear a bit...at home...we have "at home words"
13) I don't care if someones socks match or not
14) I found my soul mate at 35
15) I'd love to retire...now
16) I'm sure I'll do this again sometime soon ;)

oh and The B-52's are a great band to dance in your chair to! xo Lisa

"Nothing else matters"............

I think Lisa's is just great the way she is and I would never want her to change the way she is to suit someone else's ideals. All that matters is that she remains true to herself, doesn't change (I love the girl that I met first) and everything else will take care of itself. As for my parents, they already like her so it's just dinner, no pressure and we'll just have fun. I have the pleasure of having a pretty good relationship with her parents but that's because we see them more than mine. Long distant relationships can do that depending on where you spend the majority of your time. We're having a great time learning new things and family is just one of them. At the end of the day though, it's just Lisa and I and the kids. That's what matters. Until next time, Eddy.

Dinner

Is just dinner...until it's the first time you have the new "in-laws" over for dinner. You know the one I'm talking about....before they are "out-laws". I think the worse part is being divorced once already (no Eddy & I are not married...YET) so I know how in-laws can turn to out-laws and I don't want that to happen!

Frankly I think it happens without you even knowing it! Same with the brother & sister in-laws. I personally think it's because you don't get to hand pick them. You get to hand pick your partner....but not their family! I was actually happy in the said divorce to lose a couple of the "in-laws"....but this time I want to have them remain "in-laws". I like them. They are nice people and seem to like me....well most of them! lol Hey I don't think you can throw a bunch of people together and say "like each other and get along forever" and have it work. It's just not in the cards. So I'd actually rather just keep the mom & dad in my pocket and not worry so much about the rest....I think that's the winning combination. Boy that got sidetracked....or should I say I got sidetracked! lol

So dinner is Sunday night. We are cooking a ham, double baked potatoes and brocolli/cauliflower. I'm making mini cheesecakes for dessert. Hopefully I win them over...for a little while at least ;)

I think I should make a card...maybe that will impress them!

Thanks for stopping by!
