I'll Never Live Down...

[partiallysunny]

About four or five years ago, H asked me to watch the draft for him. He had to work and he wanted me to text him who the Jets picked up.

I've never watched a draft before. The only thing that kept me from changing the channel out of shear boredom was Brady Quinn, who I found attractive. Just so happen H knew who he was because he played for H's favorite college team (Notre Dame).

I got this text today: "Now you have no reason to miss a Jets game. We just picked up your boy, Brady Quinn."

I said someone was cute 5 years ago and I'm still hearing about it!

Anyone want to share what they'll never live down?

[Muddled]

I can think of lots of reasons to miss Jets games.

For some reason H enjoys scaring people. It's annoying.

One time (we weren't married yet and had just moved into our first apartment together) he hid under the dining room table and waited for me to walk past. I did, he jumped out from under the table and barked like a pissed off dog. I jumped back so far that I bounced off the wall behind me, collapsed and cried.

That day he learned that I don't enjoy being scared, I really am afraid of dogs and tend to overreact. He hasn't intentionally scared me since, but he likes telling that story.

You poor thing! I want to hold you.

I'll never live down the first time I cooked for my family (my parents & myself) and I made one package of ramen. One. For three people.

Oh man, basically my whole life.

The time I asked Santa for screwdrivers because "I'm a girl and I like tools"

The time I collapsed the parking structure in my apartment complex.

My adoration of reality TV

When my brother and I were kids we were home on summer break and thought we'd be nice and do the dishes. We had run out of Dish detergent and somehow thought strawberry shampoo would work. The entire kitchen was swamped with strawberry scented bubbles. In the positive we also cleaned the floor.

That same summer we made my Mom a birthday cake. Blue is her favorite color and we used a whole bottle of food coloring in the icing.

Inspired by neonpink, the time I decided to decorate my parents windows by making paper snowflakes. I probably made 100 of them. Not only did I leave all the little cut out pieces on the floor I used my moms fabric scissors. Kids are so helpful.

Did you always get yelled at for using your moms fabric scissors as well?

I did!

The last time I was at her house, I asked for some scissors and she handed me the fabric ones. It totally threw me off. I froze for a moment.  I wasn't sure if I should actually use them or not.

She was testing you!

When stbx and I were on our honeymoon, our room had a jacuzzi tub. I decided to take a bubble bath. It was awesome! I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time! The entire bathroom was filled with bubbles! Stbx did not think it was as funny as I did, but he likes to tell the story.

But that's ok because he will never live down the fact that he stayed up with his buddies polishing off the keg long after I'd gone to bed ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT!

That's so bad for the hot tub!

On our wedding night, we were so exhausted we passed out on my ILs pull out couch.

Sexy, I know.

I just like to give his best friend a hard time about it. He and I have known each other since we were 6 years old. I tell him it's his fault I didn't get laid on my wedding night.

In retrospect, it was a pretty clear indication of how our marriage was going to go.

And I do know that the bubbles are not good for the jets, and I hadn't meant to turn them on. There was a switch next to the tub and I accidentally hit it with my elbow. Then I freaked out and couldn't find the silly thing to turn it back off.

I did get yelled at this time. The yelling was sever enough that it never happened again. That night my mom went through every pair of scissors and wrote paper or fabric on them with a sharpie.

I gave her the question look and she said, "go ahead." So I did.

Why are bubbles bad for jets?

I *don't have any idea, lol.

I just know when I went on my honeymoon, the nice old man had signs around the hot tub and gave very specific directions about not using any bubbles. He even asked that we rinsed out our swim suits before using them to get *out the detergent.

It's been stuck in my mind since then.

Omg, yes.

[Muddled]

I've seen that lots, but, like you, I never knew why it was bad.

Which is exactly why I do it anyhow.

When H and I were dating in college I joined his family to a trip to see his uncle for Easter weekend. I walked into the bathroom the next morning (the door was open) to brush my teeth, and saw my H was already bent over the sink brushing his teeth. I walked up behind him, grabbed his butt and said, "Hey sexy!". Turns out it was the uncle. Who I had just met for the first time the day before. In my defense he is only several years older than H, same height, weight, build and hair color so they look remarkably similar from behind.

Later that day the uncle made boxed mac n cheese as part of our dinner which gave us wicked food poisoning. It had expired three years prior! We still talk about that day, 7 years later.

When H and I moved into our first apartment (before we were married), our stove didn't work well. H came home from work and I turned the burner that wasn't working to 500 degrees and proceeded to put my hand on the (previously broken) burner. It worked now, and my hand stuck to the hot burner. I froze in shock and he freaked out, shoving my hand under cold water. We didn't even have Band Aids-we'd moved in the day before and hadn't done any preliminary shopping. That was a long, painful night!
