How well does he know me?

My husband Eric is constantly saying that I am so predictable and that he knows everything there is to know about me.  I thought the V-Day link up over at The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife would be a fun way to test that theory.  ;)

We had to fill out some questions about ourselves and then give our husband the same questions to answer about us to see how they did.

Here are Eric and I's results :)


1.  How long have you been married?
Me:  7 1/2 years
Him:  8 years (I think he gets partial credit for this one.  It won't be 8 years until June, haha) 

2.  Where was your first date?
Me:  It was a blind date -- Eric and myself with his sister and her boyfriend.  We met at the mall first and then we went to a movie.
Him:  Mall, then the Carolina Theater.

3.  Where was your first kiss?
Me:  outside the theater after our first date
Him:  outside the Carolina theater.

Him:  What the fudge ever.  Oh my gosh.  

7.  Who is her celebrity crush?
Me:  Patrick Dempsey
Him:  McDreamy (played by Patrick Dempsey lol)

8.  If she was ordering drinks for both of you, what would you each get?
Me:  sweet tea

Me:  I cooked a really nice chicken marinara last year that he devoured.
Him:  She don't cook.  (Hey!  I do sometimes!  lol)

12.  What would she say is your most annoying habit?

14.  If she could throw out one item of her clothing, what would it be?
Me:  holey pants
Him:  nothing

15.  What would you say is your favorite thing about her?
Me:  probably my butt, boobs, and my eyes, LOL.  
Him:  boobs or butt (figures lol)

16.  What is her go-to drink at Starbucks?

Him:  Nothing, she don't go to Starbucks.

17.  What is her blog's name?
Me:  Chronicles of Momnia
Him:  I don't know.  


Overall I'd say he did pretty well.  :)

Would your husband or boyfriend be able to answer questions correctly about you?

Four Things You Don't Know About Me

I hope everyone's week is off to a great start!


For this week's Tuesday Topics, I'll be telling you all 4 things you don't know about me.



1.  I am an only child, but I would have had two brothers and two sisters.  My mother miscarried two babies before she had me and two babies after she had me.  I would have been the middle child instead of an only child.  I often wonder how different my life might have been had they survived.  I never got to meet them, but I miss them.


2.  My mind has a wonderful way of taking a fear that I have and turning it into something awful.  If I'm driving behind a truck that has something in the bed of it, like cars, logs, or things like that, I'm suddenly envisioning these 'Final Destination' scenarios where whatever it is dislodges and comes crashing into the front of my vehicle, killing me instantly.  I'm terrified of driving on bridges, especially over water.  When I have to drive over one, I start to picture crashing, or the bridge collapsing, and then I end up drowning because I can't swim.


3.  I had glasses in the sixth grade but I hated them so I eventually stopped wearing them.  I thought everything was fine and maybe I didn't need them after all ;).  haha.  Two years ago though when I was renewing my drivers license, I almost failed the vision part because I couldn't read the chart.  Oops.  I got glasses (again) shortly after that and wear them all the time now.  ;)


4.  I have met two of my favorite authors.  I met Tim Myers a few years ago at our local Barnes & Noble.  He was doing a question and answer session with fans and then did a book signing.  Tim is a local author.  So local he lives in the same city as me.  Cool, huh?  I also went with my friend Abby a few months ago and met Nicholas Sparks.  I took a copy of one of my favorite books for him to sign.  I'd love to see them both again sometime!


So, that's it for my 4 facts.

What are some things people don't know about you?


(PS.  If you haven't already, please stop by this post and introduce yourself.  I would LOVE to learn more about my readers!)

Five Activities

Sorry this is a day late.  My youngest son is really sick so that has taken most of my attention.

This week's Tuesday Topic is Five Activities in Your Hometown.


Unfortunately there isn't very much to do in my small hometown of Hickory, North Carolina.


1.  One of the most popular things to do in Hickory, especially if you have children, is to go to the Science Center.  There are a lot of cool exhibits and there is also a section just for art.  You can also visit the aquarium and watch shows at the planetarium.

2.  Downtown -  the downtown area of Hickory offers a ton of unique stores for shopping and restaurants.  This is also where our annual Oktoberfest is held.

3.  Entertainment -  If you're looking for something to do, you can go bowling, go to the library, watch a movie, go to the mall, or go shopping.


That pretty much covers it.  :-/
I wasn't kidding when I said there isn't much to do here.   ;)


Hopefully I didn't bore you to tears, hehe.
