My First "Tag"

I've never been 'tagged' before, but I was surprisingly pleased when I saw I had been in a friend's blog. Thanks Heidi!

1. How long have you been married? 8 years! Where has the time gone?
2. Who eats more sweets? The kids by far.
3. Who said I love you first? I'm sure it was me.
4. How old is he? 34, I started the new celebrity trend of marrying younger men!
5. Who is taller? Greg (by at least a foot)
6. Who is smarter? I'm a woman, who do you think is smarter? JK
7. Who can sing better? You'd have to ask an innocent bystander (but why would you want to hurt an innocent bystander?).
8. Who does the laundry? Me, loads and loads.
9. Who pays the bills? Me.
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? We both do...wink, oh you said sleep. Me

12. Who cooks dinner? Cook? We both do, he's a great cook!Who drives? He does if we are on a trip, I do if we are in Vegas traffic. He doesn't want to drive the mini-van around town too much.

14. Who asked who out? I had an offer with his military friend that if he ever had any "single friends" come to town I'd show them around. Greg was the first and last. After the first date we both knew.

Thats Done, What's Next!

We have our garage repaired and our water heater installed (we really only went without hot water for a couple of days until a temporary hook-up was done). So far everything has run very smoothly, having insurance is a good thing. Sometimes it is hard to make the payment when money gets tight, but oh how much more tight it would be when disaster strikes! And this one really wasn't too bad (I say that because I haven't seen the invoice yet).

It is good to not have the hole in the wall, now if I can get all the cracks inside the house fixed! We asked if the company could give us an estimate on cosmetically fixing a few things. The gentleman that fixed the wall came in to get a look. He shook his head at one of the "problem" areas and said that it would be really hard to give a dollar amount until he "got up there and took down the ceiling." And it would take a "few" days for the stuff he could see.

PHHHH, heavy sigh.

I am feeling the economy's pinching a little more right now with Greg's pending release from the military. He told me yesterday that it took his buddy a year to get his retirement check after he was medically released.
