J and Nay

Noob Corn

2010-01-06T13:06:00.002-05:00

Griping about how there was baby corn in my pasta dish.

J: Oh, did baby corn pwn you again?

Me: I just ate around it. It didn't pwn me! Stupid noob corn.

J: That's basically what it is:

The First Valentine Tree

2009-12-01T19:25:00.004-05:00

So the Valentines put up their first tree. It's artificial when I'm used to getting real but artificial is less hassle and it's just as pretty. I am adoring being married and it's all I could ever hope for.

Hope everybody had a great holiday. :D

One More Time Backstreets Back Alright

2009-12-01T19:21:00.002-05:00

Typing to each other on IM:

Him (talking about Twitter): @ Me Baby One More Time like the Backstreet Boys!

Me: Ok, but just so you know Hit Me Baby One More Time was Britney Spears, not the Backstreet Boys.

Him: Oh really? But didn't Backstreet Boys = Britney Spears x 5?

Me: (laughing)

Him: I'm just saying!

Another Awesome Thanksgiving

2009-11-28T01:58:00.002-05:00

Yet another Thanksgiving has passed and I'm so thankful for the things and person I have in my life. This will be our first one together since our big day. I love you Renee and I'm so thankful to have you in my life. You are so understanding, elegant and loving.

Exhausted...but married!

2009-11-23T02:21:00.002-05:00

So I haven't written in a while. The wedding stuff just got out of control crazy. But the day came, everything was awesome. And now I'm a wife. The wedding was yesterday but even after a bit of sleep plus a nap, I am still so tired. So I am about to lie down and cuddle with my husband and I will catch you all on the flip side.

Enough of David Bowie for a Lifetime

2009-11-15T09:51:00.002-05:00

Yesterday was such a fantastic day that I had to blog about it. I have been getting more and more exciting about the wedding. I can't believe I'll be married in six days! I am so excited about it!

So yesterday was FULL of wedding stuff.

Dropped off our programs to be printed
We paid and talked to photographer for the final time.
Got engagement ring cleaned.
Paid and talked to caterer for the last time.
Talked to the cinnabon people mmmmm cinnabons.
I experimented with my makeup (fabulous if I must say so).
Did the leaves for the flower girl.
Tested out the Ustream for the wedding (which turned out great! If you don't know about the Ustream for the wedding, be sure to send me a message! I love that people who aren't close can participate!)

So after all that (which we got done by 4:00), it was time for our last official hot date as unmarried folk (J's words). We had hummus and Shiraz salad at Shiraz Mediterranean Grill which was fabulous as always.

Then on to El Mundo's to try that. It was ok but we'll be back to try that quesadilla and burrito that the couple next to us had! They had a self service area and a table seating area. Of course the laid back people that we are, we ate at the self service area which was hilarious. Water out of a water cooler and grab your own forks and napkins. Let me say this, their margaritas are not for the faint of heart. More like sweet and sour flavored tequila. And I know my margaritas!

So after that, we went to the double feature at the Baxter Theater. First up: The Muppet Movie! I never knew that I would enjoy that movie so much as an adult. The jokes were just as snappy and catchy that I remember and I even laughed at parts I wouldn't have as a kid. And what made it even more epic, the theater served frog legs before the show. Poor Kermit!

Then intermission (in which they bought Spinelli's pizza for all), then it was time for...(drum roll) Labyrinth! With David Bowie's crotch! Seriously, I have never seen so many crotch shots of the man! I had never seen it but It fit right in with the times that it was made. J told me it tanked at the box office which is so funny since it's now a cult favorite. We were Hoggled J!

So it was a great night and the best last date as unmarried folk I have ever had (and my only one also!)

I hope after the wedding business dies down I can go back to my regularly scheduled posts. If I don't post before Saturday, next time I talk to you I'll be Mrs. Valentine! Yay!

I Forgot About That Part

2009-11-11T12:17:00.001-05:00

Me: Let's go get our marriage license today (since I've been procrastinating.)

Him: Sure! I'll meet you there.

Me (standing in front of closed sign at Fiscal Court): I forgot government offices are closed on Veteran's Day.

Him: *laughs and gives me a big hug*

We are officially going to be awesome together lol.

With Glue and Glitter

2009-11-06T13:16:00.002-05:00

Discussing how many bottles of sparkling cider we need for the wedding.

Me: Yea, so we have about 9 tables so about 12 bottles should be good. I need to get flutes for everybody.

Him: and garland to put around them

Me: garland?

Him: Yeah. And we should design each flute.

Me: ...

Him: with glue and glitter

Me: Ass

Him: Put everyone's name on it. ^^

Me: /flips the bird

So I can be a little detailed oriented. :p Sue me!

And Spinach Too!

2009-10-21T10:56:00.003-04:00

Received a text from J today:

"Renee no puedo esperar a ser su marido. Te quiero!"

My spanish a bit rusty so I had to translate the first part.

Me:
lol you sent me something in spanich
hmmmm
I know the last part is that you want, I have to translate the other part

J:

;)

Translated it's:
I can't wait to be your husband. I love you!

/sigh. I love that man. Only one more month! *cheer*

ZOMG IS IT THE NINTH!

2009-10-08T09:36:00.002-04:00

(Setting: Middle of the night. J and I are both asleep in bed.)

Me: (waking up immediately and saying loudly) OMG!!! WHAT DAY IS IT!!! IS IT THE NINTH!!!!

J: (waking up and thoroughly confused) No, it's not the ninth.

Me: IT'S NOT! ARE YOU SURE!

J: (even more confused) No, the ninth is friday.

Me: (with immensely relief) Oh..good, I thought it was today and I missed my Dad's birthday

(We both go back to sleep and laugh about it the next day. FYI: My dad's birthday IS this coming friday.)

Eye Goggles

2009-08-22T09:46:00.000-04:00

J: Contacts are just goggles for your eyeballs.

Me: /laughs

Plumpy Dog = Dinner?

2009-08-20T13:41:00.004-04:00

(Discussing various places for our pet to spend the night while we are out of town. And mentioning my sister's dog Beckham in the convo.)

J: Petsmart can't be all that bad. Beckham stays there.

Me: Yea.

J: Beck Ham. NOM NOM NOM.

Me: /facepalm lol. I'm going to tell Deidre that you are trying to eat her dog.

J: I wouldn't say that to D. But I would eat him. He's all plumpy.

Me: /guffaw

Ribs

2009-08-19T16:32:00.002-04:00

Ribs in the crockpot? Ahhhhh yea :D Good job babe. Just another one of J's excellent creations. Can't wait to go home and try them out!

Party!!! Sundae Party!! (Sang to the tune of the old commercial for Pizza Party Game)

2009-07-31T21:42:00.002-04:00

So I had the brilliant idea of having an ice cream Sundae party because...well just because! J had been wanting one for awhile and every time we went to get one, wherever we got it from would fall off the mark just slightly. So I decided to take matters into my own hands.

We went and got some fixins...

From Ice Cream Sundae Party

Sundae #1, Apple Pie Sundae (apple pie, cinnamon apple topping, whipped cream)

From Ice Cream Sundae Party

Sundae #2, Renee's Bomb Ass Surprise! (brownie, cookie dough, caramel, whipped cream)

From Ice Cream Sundae Party

Sundea #3, J's Traditional Hot FUDGE Sundea! (Ice Cream, HOT FUDGE, Walnuts, Whipped Cream and Cherry)

From IPhone Photos

Here is the craziness...

2009-07-30T16:07:00.001-04:00

This is the type of conversations that my loving woman will have to deal with for the rest of her life!!!!

4:00 PM me: ch'mon!

/pelvicthrust

4:01 PM <(^.^<)

India and John

2009-07-25T15:39:00.002-04:00

So J and I spent a night with India and John last night. No, it wasn't a personal night like we would have liked, but it was awesome nevertheless.

It wasn't hot, it didn't rain and India sang beautifully.

John wasn't too thuggish, he was dressed to the nines...and omg is that man short.

All in all, We danced, laughed, and had a great time.

Pictures here:

Of Okra and Jellybeans

2009-07-25T15:32:00.003-04:00

(friendly debate on the way home from company picnic)

Me: I hate black jellybeans.

Him: I'm not a fan. They are like fried okra where the breading has fallen off.

Me: ????

Him: Both are deformities and they should never happen.

Me: Ah. Black Jellybeans taste like death.

Him: *Laugh* My favorite are the green ones.

Me: Green ones either taste like lime or okra.

Him: *Laugh*

This Is Why He's The Car Expert

2009-07-24T08:26:00.002-04:00

(Lately my car has been acting funny, i.e. turning off while I'm driving. This happened again as I was going onto the ramp to the highway)

Him: Just put the car in neutral and start it up.

Me: (panicking): But I'm going around a corner! I have to brake! And it's weird to start the car up while moving.

Him: /facepalm

Counter point!

2009-07-22T09:55:00.001-04:00

To me dancing has less factors that can go wrong. I think it's about perspective i suppose because Renee has sisters that make singing look so easy. They all take practice. I will say this and I know Renee will agree marching band and ROTC drill team is harder than both because that includes a huge amount of people!!!

I settle my case! Ha!

-- Peesh!!

Talent Debate

2009-07-22T07:44:00.002-04:00

I know, I know, I just posted. But J and I have a little debate. He thinks that dancing is easier than singing (i.e. So You Think You Can Dance vs American Idol). I vehemently disagree.

Him: (talking to Toby) Because dancing is easier than singing!

Me: (having no idea what it came from) /glare

What do you all think? Which is harder? Dancing or singing? I know kids who can sing with no effort whatsoever. Dancing takes training!!!

Something akward hit me this morning

2009-07-22T07:30:00.002-04:00

So I was writing my blog today and while writing it I started playing "Don't Stop Believing" cover by the Glee Cast. I've listened to the song plenty of times and I heard the lyrics. Its like if we switch the lyrics around I'm very much a small boy from Mt. Airy, NC and Renee she's from the big city Louisville. To us small town folks that is very much a big city. Renee's sister posted on her facebook how funny it is where life takes you and I commented "Tell me about it" I never thought I would be here in Louisville, KY with such an amazing woman and I'm happy.

So I have a question, are you thought you would be in life? Are you happy? What can you do to make your way to it?

It's Hump Day

2009-07-22T07:26:00.002-04:00

J and I love the weekend. It's like, as soon as the weekend is over, we want the weekend to come again. Of course we don't have any kids yet so the weekend is still all ours to do with what we want.

Me: It's almost the weekend.

Him: I know!

Me: What are we going to do?

Him: I don't know.

Me: Me either.

Well...even if we don't do anything, it's STILL awesome durnit!

The Couples Spot

2009-07-20T15:22:00.000-04:00

So I decided that we needed a blog for both of us. For subjects that affect both of us and pertain to both of us. So therefore, I created the J and Nay blog (as we are both affectionately known). So we will use this blog for things that pertain to us as far as a couple and into our marriage and beyond.

So this look for this blog to be a Valentine blog in about five months. But for now, it's a J and Nay blog.

Good hunting.

Welcome to the J and Nay blog!

2009-07-20T15:11:00.001-04:00

Welcome all to the newest, greatest idea that my love, Renee thought of! I often ask myself, "Self, how did you get so lucky?!?" and I never get an answer from self. So I'm just taking a moment to welcome you all to OUR blog and hope that we can share a little bit of sunshine on your lives.

We love you guys and you rock the socks!!!

-- Peesh!!
