For James' Pretty Long Lashes?

Humongous mascara wand, or excessively chic toilet brush? We were confused.

Differences of Opinion

C'mon Laura. Egg shells go in the trash, not down the sink disposal.
Oh yeah? Better than those lime seeds you washed down the drain.

James careful! Don't spray the pan right over the burner!

Laura, you only filled the ice tray up halfway.
But that's just how I like my ice cubes--skinny!

Hold on James! Sweaters don't go in the dryer. Except that one. Oh and that one's fine too.

James, don't forget to close the fridge door.

Laura, why is every single light in the apartment on?

Let's put the lamp in this corner.
But I kinda' thought it'd look nice over there in that corner.

Laura, your hair is all over the tub.
James, your hair is all over the sink.

Look at all these tests we have to take for Pioneers! This is gonna' be awful (james).
Oooh scantrons! Fun! (laura)

A Little Quiz (by laura)

Today James had an orientation for one of the security companies that have offered him a job. After watching some training videos, filling out a bunch of paperwork, picking out a suit, etc., they gave him this quiz:

What job would you like? Circle the best answer:
a.) guard at a downtown apartment complex 3 pm - 11 pm MTThFS
b.) guard at a downtown apartment complex 4 pm - 12 am ThFS
c.) no job at all
d.) stall until you're offered option e
e.) guard at a pharmaceutical company 8 am - 5 pm MTWThF
f.) both d & e

If you circled f, that's because you're wonderful, thoughtful, and smart like my husband!
