The (Not-so) Newlywed Game

This questionnaire has now appeared on about 5 blogs I read so, I finally decided to succumb and take this quiz.

I printed off two copies; I took one and then had Aaron take the other one. I was SHOCKED at the results. Moral of the story, Aaron is a very attentive husband! While we were taking the quiz, Aaron kept saying ,"I expect Chuck Wollery to jump out at us any moment!"

Below I have copied, VERBATIM, what each of us wrote. Enjoy!

1. How long have you been married?
J: 3 years, 4 mos., 10 days
A: 3 years

Yeah, I'm not detail-oriented in the least.

2. Where was your first date?
J: His house, I think?
A: _____________ (he named or secret spot) 

He's right. I'm wrong! (There, Aaron. You actually have that in print.)

3. Where was your first kiss?
J: I don't kiss and tell but, I think _______ ? (I stated the secret spot)
A:  ________ (secret spot)

4. Who first said "I love you"?
J: Jessi? I don't remember. Actually, it might have been him. I think I implied it... but he said it directly.
A: ME

Yes, he did. It's all coming back to me. Then he said he wanted to love me for the rest of his life.

5. What were your wedding colors?
J: Cranberry
A: Autumn earth-tones: maroon, yellow, brown and orange

(Um, "earth-tones" Aaron? I think that is the first time I've ever heard you use that word!)

6. What is her most commonly used phrase?
J: "It is what it is."
A: "Whatever, whatever, whoo-whoo"

I think he's right. Which is embarrassing!

7. Who is her celebrity crush?
J: Joaquin Phoenix
A: Joaquin Phoenix

Not only is he my celebrity crush but, I also get a "free pass" should the opportunity ever present itself.

8. If she was ordering drinks for both of you what would you each get?
J: Water
A: For me? PBR. For her? It depends on the meal, the season, and the recommendations of others.

No, he's wrong here. I'm a cheap bastard. We'd each get water.

9. What was the best meal she ever cooked for you?
J: Haddock on his birthday
A: Baked-stuffed haddock on my birthday

Okay, so I must confess, it was probably really REALLY easy for him to remember this because he does almost all of the cooking in our house. I cook, legit, maybe 10-15 meals per year. He's an awesome cook, dudes.

10. What is the worse meal she has ever cooked for you?
J: This weird rice noodle thing I once made when I was trying to be all culinary-like.
A: I can't think of one.

11. What is the most-played song on her iPod?
J: Come on Eileen!
A: Pandora Kids

Okay, so technically he's right. I do play Pandora Kids 24/7. I don't have an iPod but I do have a super cheesy MP3 player that holds exactly 25 songs and I only play about three of them.

12. What would she say is your most annoying habit?
J: Gagging while brushing his teeth. Or anything bowel related.
A: Farting. Or starting and not finishing something.

13.What is the last thing she does before she goes to bed?
J: Take out my contacts, brush my teeth, wash my face and call the dogs to bed.
A: Takes her "nap" and then takes out her eyes.

So, about my nap. Okay, there is this thing that my sister, my mother and I do. We... "pre-sleep." Basically what this is is falling asleep prematurely (like on the couch or during a movie) but we pretend to still be awake because we're too tired to really have to "officially" go to bed. We are at our crabbiest when we wake from our "nap."

14. If you could throw away one item of her clothing, what would it be?
J: My "Dancin' Pants?"
A: Not her dancing pants. Her Calvin Klein underwear.

I can't believe he said that. I have this pair of Calvin Klein underpants... they are SO comfortable. I've had these underpants since high school. You touch them, Aaron, and it's a deal-breaker.

15. What would you say is your favorite thing about her?
J: He'd say my smarts.
A: Her planning keeps me grounded. Everything she does is intentional.

16. What is her go-to drink at Starbucks?
J: Something sweet. Like a white mocha yummy latte something or rather.
A: White carmely latte thingy.

17. What is the name of her blog?
J: The Beginning of Wednesday
A: The Beginning of Wednesday
