You forgot one on #1, it's Scott's favorite. Even though you're married and have changed your name it's not unusual to hear this at our house:
Me: What are you doing?
Scott: Reading Buttspankin's blog.
I'm extremely saddened by the fact that you only own white socks. The only white socks I own are the short running socks. All others are "fun" socks! It makes life a little bit more interesting (in my opinion!) You should try it! :)
Ha! "Buttspankin." I hadn't heard that one before...
Do we even remember where that pizza restaurant was? For whatever reason, I recall pearly gates and angelic singing voices. I'm not sure if it's because the pizza was heavenly or if it's because we were that close to being dead...
The pizza restaurant was between Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons at a marina/boatdock dive. And yes, we were starving after 3 days of tent cabins/rain/and a screaming kid next door. It could have been roadkill doused in cheese for all we knew!
