<snap>: six months of bound-for-life babble
Deb: So, I was making this list of all of these foods I used to love to eat but don’t anymore due my fear of 18-letter ingredients.
Alex: Like what?
Deb: Corn chips, Pringles, Mrs. P pierogies, mini-bagel pizzas, Prego pasta sauce, tater tots, 7-11 Slurpies, and “yogurt” covered raisins.
Alex: I’m getting so hungry.
Deb: Damnit, me too.
Alex: Wait, you used to eat tater tots?
Deb: Often.
Alex: What happened to you?!
Deb: Damned shame, isn’t it?
***
Deb: Help! What’s the fast way to add things on a spreadsheet, you know, so I don’t have to keep retyping the equation?
Alex: Just type =SUM and highlight the cells you want to add.
Deb: Wow, swoon. I totally married the right man.
***
Alex: Why were you so against me closing the window this morning?
Deb: I was hot.
Deb: You know I am almost always hot.
Deb: Except for when I'm cold.
Deb: You're going to have to figure these things out if we're going to be together for a long time.
Alex: Obvs.
***
Deb: By the way, the girl behind me at Starbucks today ordered a half caf sugar-free vanilla chai soy latte with no foam and an extra shot.
Deb: Even the "expediter" couldn't call that order out without her HEAD EXPLODING.
Alex: There's a word for the person working the cash register who shouts out the orders?
Deb: Worse, I know it.
Alex: Seriously.
***
Deb: This morning, I walked to work, got here by 9:30, and wrote an entire article before noon.
Alex: You go girl. <snap>
Deb: Did you just <snap>?
Alex: Uh, no. Of course not.
Deb: Oh, I am so blogging this.

When you can have conversations with your husband that you can also have in your own head, you know it's gotta be right. :-)

I'm still learning with Brad. Sometimes he says the craziest things - then realizes how silly he sounded and begs me "Please don't blog about this!"

Expediter? How did you find this out, I love it!

Mmmm, pringles.
Yeah, DK occassionally gets random calls from me in the middle of the day, "Um, sweetie? I need to write an equation with about ten different variables. How's that go again?" And he will write a whole program, send it to me and talk me through the work. Art history geek AND excel master? Swoon indeed.
I love that Alex go-girl-snapped at you. And that he immediately knew the consequences of that action...

You need to let Alex "guest blog" one of these days. He sounds just too dang cute.

Alex used to have a blog. That's how I met him. Once he could no longer complain about what a pain it is to take a date to a steakhouse when she has failed to tell you she is actually a vegetarian - or, at least not without incurring her wrath - he ran out of things to write about. Or so he says. ;)

I will be getting married in May. I have been with my fiance for 5 years now and we have 2 children. What should I know before I get married?

I worked at Starbucks for about 6 weeks. I totally know what you're talking about. Sometimes just the customer was enough to make your head explode. :D
