A Day Late and a Dollar Short

The Great Mofo Delurk 2007



Yesterday, I saw that October 3 was The Great Mofo Delurk Day, but yesterday I'd already posted a heartfelt, honest, sappy-ass post, so yesterday I didn't want to mar it with a fun!, silly! delurking game.

It's the blogosphere people, an imaginary land with imaginary rules. I've decided that I can do the whole "delurking day" TODAY! And it's okay to break this imaginary "October the 3rd" delurking day rule!

(Breathe, Jennifer, breathe. It really is okay to break the rules. This is your blog, you can do whatever you want.)

Also I'm really pissed off at my husband right now, but trying NOT to blog about it. Sadly, this lame ass post is the best I could come up with in my I'm-gonna-strangle-my-husband mood.

So, if you're not a damn chicken bawker, delurk, won't you?

To make this interesting, lets have something to comment about. I mean, if anyone actually participates, it's going to be really dull to read "hi, I'm delurking" over and over again (although if all you want to write is "hi, I'm delurking," that's totally fine by me, remember these rules are imaginary.) I got this idea from Lena at The Cheeky Lotus.


1. Tell me the ONE thing that your husband, wife, partner, or significant other does that makes you want to strangle them. Or write a novel about it in the comments, imaginary rules, people, imaginary rules.

2. Favorite ice cream flavor

3. One man or woman on your "free-pass" list.

4. If you were to have another child, what name would you give them (boy and/or girl)? Edited to add: even if you're not having more kids, what would their names be? Merely choosing a name does not mean you have to have more children. At least I hope not.

Oh? It's my turn, already? Okay, here goes...

1. Strangle worthy...when Tate already knows I'm in a bad mood and am frag-ee-lay, yet chooses to push my every last button. That's all I'm saying right now, 'cause this could turn into a novel.

2. Cookies and Cream

3. Josh Duhamel, or McDreamy, or Antonio Sabato, Jr. (circa 1993). Oops that was three. See? I'm breaking my own imaginary rules. It's very freeing.

4. Boy-Carson, heh Girl-Emeline

Have fun, everyone. If you're a regular commenter, join the fun. This isn't just for delurkers, it's for everyone.

Seriously, play along. Puh-uh-lease. With sugar on top.

82 People are even more brilliant:

Jenn said...

1. Only one thing? Time management. I HATE when he tells me he'll be home by a certain time when he KNOWS there's no chance it'll happen. I could seriously reference your post about clock-watching and 5:30 right about now....

2. Cookie dough.

3. Ben Affleck (it's an old list - I'm thinking about updating and putting McDreamy on the top instead).

4. No more kids. One is enough in our household. Seriously. But, had our daughter been a boy she would have been Eric Cooper.

LauraC said...

1. I want to strangle my husband when he audibly SIGHS in his passive-aggressive way instead of telling me what's wrong. I must have told him a bazillion times how much I hate the sighing.

2. Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked.

3. Isn't Angelina Jolie on everyone's free pass list?!

4. NO MORE KIDS. Twin 16 month old boys is enough.

mpotter said...

fave ice cream?? yes, please!
may be easier if i share what i don't particularly like... 2 that come to mind are strawberry & butter pecan.

and i soooooo agree w/ you about tate. only, with The Mr. he does that ALL. THE. TIME.

he's always using humor to diffuse every situation... but sometimes TOO MUCH.

Anonymous said...

1. Tell me the ONE thing that your husband, wife, partner, or significant other does that makes you want to strangle them.

when he hightlights the visa bill. it's just a really ass-y thing to do...

2. Favorite ice cream flavor

cookie dough. or mint chocolate chip.

3. One man or woman on your "free-pass" list.

Jude Law. Jared Leto (once he's bathed). Jonathan rhys-meyers. josh duhamel. ryan gosling. (that's 5. shit)

4. If you were to have another child, what name would you give them (boy and/or girl)?
no more for us. but i really like the name Jack. and girls names are tough. since i have two girls already.

Beth said...

1. He throws stuff away without making sure it's not something I was holding onto. He also throws dirty laundry into baskets of clean laundry (duh!) and NEVER listens to me. But I guess that's more than one thing, huh?

2. Cookies and Cream (We're practically twins, Jennifer!)

3. George Clooney (although his personality annoys me, so as long as he's quiet!)

4. Boy--Chase, Girl--Molly

justmylife said...

1. When he pouts and won't say whats wrong or when he complains he feels bad but he won't take anything for it.
2. Butter Pecan or Chocolate
3. "McDreamy" or the guy from Desperate Housewives the one with Teri Hatcher.
4. Girl- Victoria Elizabeth.... Boy- Patrick Stephen.... But no more for me! That was names I picked with my other kids and hubby said, "Um, NO!!!"
What can I say, I'm a rule breaker... 2 answers for most of them. Hope things start looking up soon!!!!

1. The only thing at the moment that comes to mind with the DH is leaving his clothes behind the bathroom door when he showers. This irks me because if I get up in the middle of the night to pee the door almost always hits the pile of clothes and then bounces back to his me in my face or at the very least scrape over my toes.

2. Butter Pecan...especially good if you have a nice hot homemade brownie...

3. I don't know if I have a free-pass list...though I still have the occasional sex dream about Alton Brown...

4. We are planning on another kid...but we are actually at a loss for names...

Oh, HI...I am delurking.

:-)

Mayberry said...

1. Where to begin... how about running a load of laundry for just his one pair of jeans and a shirt, when there is a huge hamper full of everyone else's laundry waiting to be washed?

2. Rocky Road. Or maybe Phish Food.

3. Ben Affleck back in the Chasing Amy days.

4. Charlotte or Nicholas.

The Milk Maid said...

1.When the hubby treats me like I'm young enough to be his kid (although technically...)

2. Anything with hunks of chocolately brownies.

3.Val Kilmer- then, now, whenever!

4. Titus for a boy; Ohgodnotanothergirl for a girl (there are 3 total round this place)

Anonymous said...

1. takes warm clothes out of the dryer and SHOVES them (and, from the looks of it, stomps on them) into the bottom of the laundry basket rendering them useless for wear (I am morally opposed to ironing)

2. moose tracks

3. Brendan Frasier, any day, any time, any place

4. Persephone - girl, Tex - boy

Marty, a.k.a. canape said...

I must be having a day.

I find all the questions too difficult to answer. I am so lame.

Julie {Angry Julie Monday} said...

1. The unfinished projects. I can walk around this house right now and spot 25 unfinished projects.

2. Anything with Heath chunks in it.

3. Taye Diggs, at this moment. Love me some Private Practice.

4. Oh, god, no more kids. Although Angry Toddler would have been Tabitha Jayne if he was a girl, alas he is Caden Michael. His other boy name was Declan. But Angry Husband thought people would call them Dick-lin...

Cathy said...

1. He's the only one in this house that drinks pop or beer – yet, for some reason I end up rinsing and recycling at least 4 cans or bottles every day. It's really not that bad, but does it take that much effort to clean out a freakin' can and put it in the bin??? Sometimes I'll say, "I'm not going to do it. Let him do it." And then, days later, I'm stuck at the sink rinsing over a dozen of cans/bottles. Oh yeah, that and he breathes too loud at night, preventing me from being able to fall asleep after putting Liam back to sleep (again). And I can't use my earplugs, because he won't hear the older one calling out because he has to go potty – so then the older one just starts crying VERY loudly, and still, hubby won't hear that, but I will through my earplugs and of course, the crying wakes up Liam and the process starts again. So yeah, breathing and not rinsing his cans and bottles. Horrible, isn't it???

2. Ohhhh…ice cream. I haven't had that in forever (or 4 months). Let's see – I like a peppermint ice cream with chunks of candy cane in it. It only comes out around Christmas. For the rest of the year – vanilla with various toppings – chocolate, caramel, hot fudge, sprinkles, bananas…

3. Apolo Anton Ono (not sure I spelled that last name right…) You know, the skater? And Winner of Dancing With the Stars last season.

4. No more for us. But we never did have a girl. If we did – Lillian Blanche. (After my husband's grandma, Lillian and my grandma, Blanche. Also means White Lilly, which is my favorite flower.) If we ever have another boy (whish is of course, what we would have should we decide to have another) we'd name him Samuel Adam.

1- Husband sleeps in every weekend, when I am the one getting up all week at 6:00am to take care of the kids!

2. Favorite ice cream flavor - CHOCOLATE! The more chocolate the better!

3. One man or woman on your "free-pass" list. - NO ONE, are you crazy?

4. If you were to have another child, what name would you give them (boy and/or girl)?
Oh? It's my turn, already? Okay, here goes...

girl -Kendall ( After Jason Kendall baseball player,), middle name SHEA after Shea stadium....

Boy - hmmmm Probably Calvin, CAL for short after Cal Ripken, , Ray ( AFter Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens)

Sincerely Iowa said...

1. SNORING... Good gawd man, the SNORING!

2. Chocolate Mint Chip

3. Matthew McConaughey

4. Cole (boy) and Cassie (girl)

Dude! Cindy-Lu was totally going to be Emmalynn. Pronounced the same (I assume) but spelled different. And then at the very last second I started worrying people would think it was Evelyn and I didn't like that, so now she is just Emma. And I regret that decision so very very much.

Um...back to the imaginary rules...I'm totally going with the husband question because I LOVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY HUSBAND. His family is in town this week. We saw them for dinner Monday night, Tuesday night, we are going out to dinner with them Friday night and have a wedding to attend with them Saturday night. Guess what he is trying to get me to do tonight? GO TO DINNER WITH THEM. Again. Seriously...I think I have met my in-law quota for the rest of the effing year and here he is, guilting me into going over there AGAIN. I hate that.

Danielle said...

Oh, I'm joining the Oct. 4th Delurking, cause Jennifer is doing it today too Day on my blog as well.

Here are my answers:

1. When hubby tries to reason with our daughter while she is writhing on the floor in a total fit and they are already 1/2 HOUR late for school. He'll reason forever in a calm voice, "Tell me what's wrong, Peanut, and Daddy will try to help."

Just grab her, put her shoes on and strap her into her car seat already! You are 1/2 HOUR late already! I want to strangle both of them.

2. coffee with caramel drizzled over it.

3. Peter Gabriel, yeah I know he's old but he's awesome.

4. Boy: Miles Girl: Jessica

Jackie said...

1. he can't find ANYTHING by himself.

2.peanut butter cup

3. Johnny Depp

4. No more kids, no more names. It was hard enough to come up with the 2 we chose - don't make me think of any more :-p

Esme said...

1. Tells me that we need to clean up while ignoring the pile of used coffee mugs he's adding to daily next to the computer.

2. Pistachio, but only if it's not neon green. Otherwise, cookies n cream.

3. Val Kilmer circa "Real Genius." (Hey, imaginary rules, right?)

4. Miles and Zara.

Anonymous said...

I love these games Jen. And, breathe. Leave the kids with Tate this weekend & spend his money on a pedicure!

1. He slurps (really loudly) that little bit of coke that get stuck around the rim after every fargin sip. Uh, fingernails down chalkboard.

2. Daiquiri Ice from 31 Flavors

3. Christian Bale (of course for me it'd be a Brit)

4. Henry.

Pregnantly Plump said...

This is fun!

1. My biggest complaint right now is that he likes to cut fruit on the counters and let the juice run down the cabinet doors and pool on the counters. He then leaves the sticky mess and complains about ants. I end up finding out about the mess after getting my hand stuck to the counter while prepping lunch. Grr. He wasn't born in a barn and I have no idea how a usually sensible person thinks it's ok to leave sticky juice on the counter.

2. Birthday cake flavored ice cream

3. Despite my sticky kitchen, I don't really have a "free-pass." I do think that Taye Diggs is super sexy though.

4. I like the name Max for a boy.

Anonymous said...

1. Saying his fav. tshirt our such and such isnt clean well then do some freakin laundry.

2. chocolate chip cookie dough

3. Wentworth Miller

4. B-Ethan G-Addison

that was fun!

Christine said...

Ok, I'm officially delurking, even though I've only been around here for about a week.

1. Just one? Don't EVEN think about interrupting me. Ever. My comments about diaper contents may not be as exciting as your new credit card offer, but this was my day and I still want to share it with you.

AND, if I tell you that I'm out of patience with children and can't stand another whine, this is NOT an excuse to chime in with a fake one.

2. Peppermint stick ice cream. It's only out around Christmas and I can't wait.

3. I'm 32 weeks pregnant. My DH isn't even on my regular list.

4. We are having another boy, so we'll have two of each. We cannot seem to settle on a name. Simon? Joseph? Vaughn? Fritz?

Oh, and just for the record, I'm a boring blogger. I vent about groin pain and the public school system.

Southern (in)Sanity said...

What on Earth is a "free pass" list - someone you should be able to hook up with without getting in trouble with your spouse/significant other?

A. Nonny Mouse said...

1. just one thing that my husband does to make me crazy? just one? ... ok, um. he has one mood: HORNY. i have a 12 week old daughter who gets up to nurse at least twice a night. do you REALLY think that I want to have sex right now? and even if I were slightly inclined, do you REALLY think that grabbing my crotch is the way to tip the scale from slightly inclined to "let's go"? grrr.
2. chocolate ice cream with a peanut butter ribbon through it.
3.um, I don't think we've ever talked about this. but, Mike Rowe is pretty yummy. I know my husband's is Natalie Portman, as long as she has long hair.
4.Probably Meghan for a girl and Toby or Jacob for a boy.

andria said...

Do I count as a lurker? I just want to play...

1. My husband pees on the floor around the toilet. He tries to blame it on my son, but it was there before the kids so I know it's him. I hate him for it. If he'd clean up after himself, no biggie, but alas, it's always me.

2. Beleve it or not, I don't like ice cream.

3. Brad Paisley

4. i'm still trying to decide if like the last name I gave, but Sarah was a second choice and we probably would have went with Nathaniel if she were a boy.

Cynthia said...

Not a lurker, playing anyway...
1) snores, the worst, his problem affects my sleep, bad!
2) chocolate vanilla swirl
3) Christian Bale...*swoon*
4) Henry or Kate

J said...

Ok, delurking begins NOW :)

1. Asking me the same question (in one form or another) over and over b/c he won't pay attention
2.Cookie Dough
3. It's a tie (and probably a weird one at that!) a) Alan Rickman b)Anthony Bourdain and c) Tom Colicchio (I don't care how to spell it really ;)
4. Harry or Maggie

Anonymous said...

1. He bitches to me about not having the dishes done (I'm a sahm) when he gets home. I cook, I clean, I wipe butts, I entertain. He could stand to just wear the pants and load the damn dishwasher!
*ahem*
2. Mint chocolate chip or a classic and high quality Chocolate.

3. Milo Ventimiglia

4. You're the only place I'm ever going to say this (until we're sterilized permanently) but we'd saved the name Sonja for a girl. I just adore that name. I refuse to allow for the possibility of any more boys.

Amy said...

Not a lurker. My husband always wants the sexing AFTER I am half-asleep and totally not into it. Then he gets pissed when I pretend to be completely asleep.

TMI?

Special K ~Toni said...

1. I want to strangle the hubs when he makes plans for us, without checking with me. Yes I can do that- he can't. I believe it was in our marriage vows. Yeah- it was!

2. Chocolate

3. Keifer. (There isn't more than one!) If he could act like Jack from 24, even better.

4. Another kid? not happening. But just for shits and giggles- I would name him Tax Deduction.

Cass. Just Curious said...

First, I applaud your ability to break the rules.

1. Doing this half assed...like it would take another SECOND to put the garbage bag in the garbage can when you empty it. ERRRRRRrrrr
2. Chocolate
3. Nick Newman from Young and the Restless - the character not the real man...I appreciate a supportive writer.
4. Lily

Maggie said...

1. Pushing my buttons on purpose, not just by accident.

2. Peanut butter and chocolate

3. Ummm...Matt Damon perhaps. It's hard to narrow it down to just one...

4. As far as names I have no idea....I used to work on an OB unit and the list of names that I would never pick is a lot longer and more burned into my brain...

De-lurking here...

1) Has to be, being REALLY loud in the morning when getting ready for his 4:45 am run....AHHHHHH...doesn't work well when I'm the light sleeper of the house.

4. Boy: Emmett, Braddock, Doyle, Ryder

Girl: Connamerra, Phoebe

I'm late on this too! So I linked you so I can show my readers that I wasnt the only one. Oh and my free pass? ORLANDO BLOOM.

Sarahviz said...

Heh--did you know you used sappy ass and lame ass in the same post?! I'm not delurking b/c I read your sappy lame ass all the time!

I'd love a big vat of Moose Tracks ice cream with Adrian Grenier sitting on top.

Heather said...

I'm delurking to say HI

Anonymous said...

Vanilla. Honestly. That's my all-time favourite. But if I'm feeling fancy I'll go peek into the "premium" ice cream freezer section and pick out one of those $8 containers that include things like caramel and chocolate ribbons and fudge chunks with tiny sprinkles of gold and whatever the hell else is in 'em.

Delurking! :)

Tanya Siekman said...

1. He leaves crumbs on the counter. I hate crumbs. I want to strangle him over crumbs. Does that say I'm way too anal!

2. Vanilla Bean

3. I'm too old to have a 'free pass' .. the only hotty is my hubby, and when he leaves crumbs, I want to kill him.

4. After triplets at my age, I'd shoot myself .. but if it were to happen, hmmmm:
boy: Aaron Daniel
girl: Erin Danielle

Tanya
The Dairy Wife

1. It drives me crazy when I am nursing and trying to tell my husband something, and he walks into the kitchen as he replies and all I hear is "mmph....". Then when I try to ask him what he said he yells "I can't hear you!" Don't walk away while I'm talking then!!!!! Not like I can get up to catch your every word, even if I could I wouldn't!!!

Oh that is so nice to tell someone.

2. Carmel cashew frozen custard

3. Christopher Plummer (Captain von Trapp, yummy!)

4. Margaret Julia would have been either son's name had they been a girl. no such luck, and not going to happen any more!

Anonymous said...

Oh, I'm so glad you said that non-lurkers can answer, too! Lots of bloggers do these interesting lurker surveys, and then I'm kind of wishing I were a lurker!

1) I want to strangle my husband when he's OBVIOUSLY mad at me and he won't say anything about it.

2) Favorite ice cream flavor is Dove Give In To Mint. An entire pint of it in one sitting.

3) Free pass for John C. McGinley (Dr. Perry Cox on Scrubs).

4) I would like to name a boy Oliver, and a girl Millicent.

tulipmom said...

1. Just one? Purposely doing things differently/"his way" when it comes to SB despite purporting to understand how important it is to stick to a routine.

2. I love it all.

3. McDreamy

4. I'm 12 weeks pregnant and we don't konw yet what it is, so mum's the word.

Shauna Loves Chocolate said...

1. His way of telling me he wants to have sex (see my blog, I did a post today). He can't find anything on his own - mostly because he doesn't put things away. And then he gets mad when the kids move his stuff that's lying in the middle of everything.

2. Only one? No way. I love them all. Except coffee ice cream.

Stacey said...

I want to strangle my husband when he wants to be lazy on the weekends and I'm trying to get stuff done.

2)Ben & Jerry's Twisted

3)Mark Wahlberg, Paul Walker...hmm there are a ton more I'm just not coming up w/right now.

4) More kids...bite your tongue

Anna said...

Eliza or Benjamin



Fudge ripple or another one with lots of veins of fudge and stuff in it.

oh, and hi! Sorry about those pushed buttons, totally know how THAT can be.

Nut Nut said...

1. My husband is obsessed with time and being clean. I know, I know, most women would love their husbands to clean, but it's more surface, appearance cleaning and not real cleaning, and if he's going to spend his time cleaning, I'd rather it be the bathrooms. Time -- everything has to be planned to the minute. "At 8:30 we will have dessert." Noooo! Let's live like crazy people and eat dessert when we feel like it!

2. Rocky Road

3. We've never discussed a "free pass," but my husband knows I have a HUGE crush on Ed Norton.

4. Boy - Callum Santiago; Girl: Maia ????

Mandie said...

1. Yup. Presses my buttons when I'm already nutso and/or hormonal.

2. Um. Ice cream flavored. I'm not picky. I will devour each with relish. Well, not actually RELISH. I'm not that kind of pregnant woman.

3. Oh dear. I'm pretty easy, you know. I guess I'll go with Viggo Mortensen, circa LOTR.

4. If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be writing haikus like the the second one here. Though I have about 0298309 girl name ideas.

1. Try this: Hubby hurt his arm at work, has been at HOME FULL TIME for over a month, and needs surgery so will be home for another 3-5 months. MONTHS people. MONTHS. I'll take Tate off your hands if you take Hubby off mine!!

2. Coffee ice cream-with caramel and brownie mixed in compliments of Cold Stone. yum.

3. Have you seen Survivor this season? I want the grave digger playing this year on my free pass list. YUM. YUM!!

Anonymous said...

1. When I tell him something and he doesn't really go for it, but then a week later comes up with it as if it were his own original idea. & he has NO memory of our prior conversation.

2. Butter pecan

1) When he refuses to be careful about what he leaves lying around - I have to race around behind him re-babyproofing the house. Grrrr.

2) Maple walnut

3) Will Smith

4) Boy: Julian; Girl: Amelia

Sarah said...

1. My husband bites his finger nails off and then drops them behind the couch. I get furious.

2. Lowfat Late'

3. Even with a free pass, I'm not sure I'd do it...but if James Blunt started singing to me I might be tempted. I don't think he's that good looking, but his oice is so sexy.

4. Joshua and Ella. Grace was supposed to be Ella, but at about 28 weeks I realized that I'd have Sam and Ella. Say it fast, Sam an Ella...ruined it for me. Sam, Grace and Ella is okay though.

1. I want to strangle my DH when he's sick and acts like the damn world is ending cause he has a soar throat. OH, and then if *I* am sick, 'aw sorry hon' >:-/

I like that your BlogHer ads title is the Fund for 08! Nice! Do you think you'll get enough to break even? :) Mine will be up soon, hopefully!

Cindy said...

1. He's a slob. He's always been a slob, so this is not new news, but it drives me insane that he won't pick up after himself.

2. Peppermint stick

3. Matthew McConaughey

4. Jackson Carter and Piper Grace

Jean said...

I know Im late on this, but I know that my opinion is invaluable. I had issues with Blogger earlier. I think it was the gazillion comments you were getting...
Anywho
1. When C. gets after me about not turning out our energy saving lights in the house. What's the purpose of them saving energy if their not on?

2. Any kind of Blue Bell Icecream- it is the best tasting ice cream in the country.

3. A.B. of course duh!

4. Kids names...Joren for a girl (and don't knock me about my pet peeve with strange spellings :) a boy.. Collin

3.

Rachel said...

1. I actually wrote my post about this today so I won't repeat it...if anyone is interested to read it they can go check it out...it a subtle, between the lines, kind of thing, but I think you will get it.

2. cake batter from cold stone

3. George Clooney

4. Boy= William (Liam) Girl= Jane (Janie)

I thought about about doing the great delurk day but I was afraid that my mom wouldn't comment anyway.

ImpostorMom said...

1. OMG there are many things but I will just say that my husband does the SAME. EXACT. THING! I call it figuratively poking me with a sharp stick and I often say to him "why must you poke me with a stick when you know I am already in a pissy mood." To which he grins usually. Ugh.

2. Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun. Best ever. seriously don't even try it cause I think it has crack in it.

3. Sadly I don't have one of these lists.

4. Girl= Ruby (my great-grandmother's name) Boy= I like Cassius (Cash for short) but I don't think we'd ever actually name a kid that, I think that is something we'd tell the grandmothers to freak them out though.

Dallas said...

Hi, I'm delurking...

1. How about when I say that something makes me mad, and he corrects me and says, "No, you're choosing to be mad." Aargh.

2. Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip

3. Bo Bice

4. No kids yet, but I vote for something in the dictionary - January, Reed, Savannah, etc.

Anonymous said...

Hi from Texas! Just wanted to stop by and comment since I have been lurking for a few months.

1. It drives me crazy that my husband will throw his stuff everywhere and when I put it away he has the nerve to get on to me because he can't find anything. I told him if he wants to know where his stuff is he can put it away himself.

2. Neopolitan - can't go wrong with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla

3. Paul Walker - I can't help it.

4. Boy - Christian or Landon. Still not sure on a girl name.

Stimey said...

1. I really have to choose only one thing? How about how he thinks he can parent from a chair? 24/7.

2. Strawberry. (I'm sooooo boring.) Maybe chocolate chocolate chip.

3. Viggo Mortensen

4. We already used all our boy names. Our girl would be Carlisle, Carly for short.

Anonymous said...

1. I can't possibly think of just one reason to strangle him. Since having kids the list has grown exponentially! The latest would be feeling me up when I'm completely exhausted from a day with two sick, needy, whiny, children and in bed nearing dreamland. Goodbye to sleep for a while - that totally wakes me up and pisses me off! We both end up losing out. As if my saying I'm exhausted 5 million times did not clue him in...

2. Tillamook's carmel butter pecan with a brownie

3. I've had a thing for Matthew McConaughey since I first saw him on Oprah 10 or so years ago.

4. no more for me, but they would be Laila or Spencer

1. I had a list, which included nail biting, purposely annoying me, and much, much, more. He made me take it off the blog. So I put it on my cre8Buzz blog. But now that's it's going public, I took it off that, too.

2. Chocolate with caramel on top.

3. Brad Pitt *or* Angelina Jolie (heh) *OR* both at the same time (oh yeah, oh yeah!!)

4. Audrey or Aubrey OR Amy Denise. Of course, I'll end up with like two more boys trying to get a girl.

I love you for posting your five. IT's a theme of ours. :-)

Because the BoyChild is freaking (FAREAKING) out, I can only answer one: John Corbett. Because he's fucking HOT.

It's not like you need another comment or like I'm actually delurking, but here you go:
1. Only 1? Seriously? Um. When he points out certain faults of mine (like, say, being defensive during an argument) and then proceeds to exhibit those exact same faults himself, but will strongly deny that he is doing it. (Does this make ANY sense?)
2. Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked and Twisted
3. George Stroumboulopoulos or Jamie Oliver (seriously, anyone who will cook me dinner AND has a British accent - free pass!)
4. Boy's names we considered were Oliver, Nate, Gabriel, and Jasper. Girl's names - Nora or Violet

OMG....did you really just put Anthony Sabato Jr? I heart YOU! Mr. Mayhem makes SO much fun of me for liking him...but YUM!

1. I feel homicidal when,after a discussion with MM, he looks at me as though he does not speak english....or he simply did not hear a word I just said!

2. Maybe Matt Dillon?

3. I love coffee flavored ice cream.

3. SO HELP ME....If I name another kid and get pregnant.......I like Ivy Grace for a little girl!

This was fun!

yeah. I don't lurk.

I just prefer not to read at all if I don't have something to say.

Julian McMahon. Yummy.

Chocolate chip. Yummy.

Fa has a BFF named Emeline.

And yes, she is most likely gonna be an only child.

Let the delurking begin....
1. When DH is awake at 5am (which he is most days) and lets baby get all riled up when he wakes at 6am. Couldn't you just pick him up so that I and 4-yr-old brother can sleep 'til 7? Let's all just wake up grumpy, shall we?

2. Pralines and Cream or maybe Turtle Tracks

3. Definitely McDreamy although McSteamy is making up for lost ground this season

4. So many names, not enough babies....Paul Owen, Tucker or Turner, Elizabeth "Lizzie" (ode to my unhealthy addiction to Jane Austen), Millie, I could go on and on...

Jen - love your blog. Lurking everyday, living in Knoxville...Do not succumb to the Tide. Go Vols!

For the Love... said...

When he "cleans" up the kid's end of the house and I end up with 5 million new items of laundry. He does not check if it is dirty before throwing it in....

Kellyology said...

1. His strange ability to seemingly be able to put me on "Mute" in his head. Yeah, it's not nice. I don't like it.

2. Ice cream...yeah, all of it, all kinds, all of the time.

3. I've been told that I have no free pass list, but as I believe in not being bossed around by Da Man I choose this week...Josh Lucas.

4. I choose to abstain from this question as I'm afraid to jinx myself by even thinking of having more children. I am done, done, done.

I'm a regular commenter here, but I still want you to know that I'm here. And I love your "game", so I'll play along.

1. Ugh, it drives me nuts when my husband eats his snacks loudly. It's usually quiet in the evening except for the TV, but he sits there and smacks or slurps or whatever annoying thing he can do with whatever food he's eating that particular night. Grr, I think I get madder about it every night.

2. One of my all time favorite ice creams is chocolate with marshmallow, but I can't find it much anymore.

3. Don't have a list, but I think I'll start one. George Clooney.


4. Not sure, because I change my mind so much, but here's a few names I like. Boy- Jaymin, Girl- Laila or Anya.

Is that it? Oh, guess so. I was on a roll and looking for #5. Enjoy.

Laura McIntyre said...

I missed it to damm but will answer yours questions for fun.

1 - I hate how DH takes for granted he can stay up till early hours, sleep in late and be expected to not do anything around the house (cause he is to tired from being up late)

2 - Not a big ice cream fan so unsure

3 - Dh says Angelina Jolie for me and Britney Spears (im assuming pre-kids) for him

4 - No idea on boys never could come up with names, i would love to name a girl Sydney but DH hates it. Our next daughter will more than likely be Grace Ann

jenica said...

2.mint cookies and cream

Elisa said...

Hi I have been lurking for a while.

1. I am pregnant so I could go on forever with the things that DH does to annoy me, but the most annoying one of all would be the fact that his arms and legs have fallen off since we got married...he does NOTHING and then just stares at me when I say something....and if I really need something done I have to nag him until my voice goes...and then he says "I hate it when you nag"...I could strangle him

2. Anything chocolate...

3. Wentworth Miller or Mr Brad Pitt

4. we are expecting baby number 5 ...ummmm have no idea yet

Anonymous said...

1. When he sees my running around like a chicken with my head cut off cleaning the house, bathing the kids, cooking, playing referee, answering the phone, etc., and he's just sitting there DOING NOTHING!

2. Ben and Jerry's Carmasutra, OMG!

3. Free Pass? Taye Diggs from "Private Practice" the other night.

4. Rebecca for my girl and Jack for my boy. By the way, I have a preteen and a 1st grader, I'm done with kids, but I do like those names.

Anonymous said...

Ok, I'll answer these:
2 - chocolate chip mint ice cream
4 - If my baby is a girl, she will be Ivy. If a boy, I have no clue.

Free pass list - there are a few people, but they're not really famous, so I'll leave those name details out. Just HAWT!

Miss Elimy said...

1. When he "pretends" to listen, or answers something just to shut me up.

2. Ben and Jerry's Dublin Slide

3. Orlando Bloom as Legolas. Or Viggo Mortenson... hmmm... this list might be longer than I thought.

4. Names are a controversial topic right now, but the top girl name being tossed around is Bailey, and the top boy name is Sebastian Michael

devilishsouthernbelle.net said...

Wow, you have a ton of comments already! How do you ever find the time to read and/or respond to them?

Here's mine:

1. Just one? EVERYTHING counts as one thing, right? One gigantic thing?

2. Mint Chocolate Chip

3. Peter Steele!

4. Boy-Damien; Girl-Emma

Don said...

[1] Constantly starting to talk about nothing of importance or certainly nothing I might be interested in hearing as soon as I get within earshot of her.
[2] Kay’s (in Chattanooga when I was a kid) Butter Brickle, but now I seldom eat ice cream.
[3] As a horny old reprobate living in the past out of necessity, Gina Lollobrigida, because I saw her buck nekkid once when she and John Wayne were making a film in Libya. Now if that wouldn’t make a young stud’s hormones rage, nothing would.
[4] Another child at my age? That would be a miracle! :-)

theotherbear said...

Yes, I know I am late, work has really been intruding on my blog-reading time of late. Still better late than never, right?

1. We both work full time (well usually, he is on a break right now) so why is it that I am expected to do all the grocery shopping and cooking, and he will help with the cleaning but not think to do something on his own? Then when he DOES do something he needs such praise... while inside I am thinking "Yeah, I did the washing the last 396 times, you need a medal now for doing just one load?" OK, best stop there and breathe deeply.

2. Dunno really, I would rather have a nice piece of cheese as a treat.

3. what is a free pass list???

4. I'm not sure. as a kid I wanted a baby girl called Caitlyn then my best friend STOLE the name off me for her first child. Now I would have to call my child "Thank the lord my dad finally agreed to have a baby" (where my dad means the CHILD's dad not mine, in case you are now horror struck) and although that might sound a bit funny later in life it could surely be abbreviated? :)

1. Leaves socks all over the place
