Ok, this conversation needs a little background.  First of all, John and I pretty consistently talk about kid names.  Because it’s fun.  And also, he took me to hold small puppies last week.  Because I was sad.   This is from a chat whilst he was at work tonight:
John Hattaway says: I is back
Erin Hattaway says: [...]

A conversation after John made a scary face that made me cry.  (OK, so I made the face FIRST but then he did it back and it freaked me out and I was overly tired.  And it was one of those laugh/cry situations.) 
Me: Are there hair follicles AND pores on your face?  Or are they the [...]

I love my husband.  Just thought I’d share.  I think this just might be the season of getting colds and not feeling 100%, but I very rarely think that I’m actually sick.  I just “don’t feel good,” and try to do normal things.  AND, I routinely forget to eat breakfast.  This leads to some…well, let’s [...]

me: I need to put the pedal to the metal!  Whatever that means.
John:  push the accelerator (gas pedal) all the way to the metal of the floor making the car go faster as a result of the dumping of fuel into the cylinders.
Erin: I always assumed it had something to do with bikers and metal studs [...]

While watching Journeyman, a woman starts having a baby on a plane.  The protagonist starts helping her through labor. 
Me: How can he deliver a baby?  He’s not a doctor!  Is it just because he has one?
John: I could deliver a baby.
Me:  How?  You’ve never done it before!
John: You’d do most of the work.

[12:14:12 PM] John Hattaway says: I think the problem with A/C’s is that they work to remove heat by generating heat, this, in turn, causes insects to be drawn to the unit… though no food can be found… spiders, in this case, are drawn through the openings into the house where they get lost and [...]

Watching TV with John.
“Am I shaped like her?”
“You mean blocky?  No.  You are definitely not blocky.  You are HOT.”
“I think you may be a little biased.”
“Because of my love for you, I think I may be a bit biased, but I’m not also not deceived as to your attractiveness.”
“I wouldn’t say that I’m hot.”
“Well, maybe [...]

I got home from work today, and John and I had just enough time to recap our days and visit a little before he had to head off for work himself.  It was good.  Niether one of us really got all the stuff done we would have liked to today, but were constructive nonetheless, and [...]

I came upstairs after my class this morning to wait out John’s class before we run home for lunch.  I sat at a table with a girl reading a book.  This is my usual blogging time lately, so I pulled out my computer and realised that I should probably plug it in.  I looked under [...]

We’ve got all the dates!  With the help of John’s blog, our combined memories, and some bank statements from last year (lame, I know) we’ve pieced together the early progression of our relationship!  I’m excited to have it all pinned down, so many months later.  Good thing one of us was writing stuff down!  I’ll [...]
