Sterling was in the bathroom a little too long this morning, so I asked if he was all done.
He replied, "No Mom, I reading magazine."

Adrianna vs. Doug
1. Who eats more? Totally me. Doug is at the table longer, so you'd think it'd be him. But really, you can eat a lot more of the good stuff if you Hoover it. Mmmm.... Food......
2. Who said "I Love You" First? It's been almost a decade- neither of us can remember.
3.How long have you been together? Since mid-October, 1998
4. Who sings better? C'est moi. Poor Doug can't hold a tune to save his life (or sing the right words). ;)
5. Who's older? Doug by 6 1/2 years. .............Cradle robber.
6. Who's smarter? We both are in different ways. I have more mechanical and general common sense and Doug has more book smarts and the awesome ability to know how to deal with just about any problem!
7. Whose temper is worse? Uh. Doug's. Although, we've found if he pushes me too far- it can get pretty darn ugly!
8. Who does the laundry? Me, unless he's out of clothes...
9. Who does the dishes? Me, most of the time. But he does help a lot.
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do, if you're looking at it; he does if you're laying on it.
11. Who snores? Doug. But not too bad, unless he's sick. I chomp my teeth; totally freaked Doug out the first few times. He thought I was having a seizure or something. He said it was like a skull in a horror movie. ...... Nice comparison to make about his sweet wife, huh?......
12. Who's hair is longer? Mine by a long shot. I really don't think I could be with a man with longer hair than mine. And as Elder Oaks says, "...Most of us are looking for someone... whom we can stand together with." ;)
13. Who's better with the computer? Depends. Doug is better with systems, spreadsheets, and how to keep it working better overall; I'm better with searching for things on the Internet, creating stuff in photo software, html code, etc.
14. Do you have pets? Mack the fish.
15. Who cooks dinner? Me- always. Doug will help occasionally, but he mostly keeps the kids out of the kitchen.
16. Who drives when you are together? Doug drives most of the time, but when we're in a hurry, I drive.
17. Who pays when you go out to dinner? Well, we both earn the money as I see it, so sometimes he gives them his card and sometimes I give them mine.
19. Who is the most stubborn? We both are. You should see our kids.....
20. Who is the first one to admit when they're wrong? Me, usually. Doug will if it was bad enough to make me cry.
*Okay, I got in trouble for this one, and have to ammend. Doug does apologize 1st sometimes, too.
21. Who's parents do you see more? Equal.
22. Who named your pet? Me.
23. Who kissed who first? Doug did after our third date (and costume party)..... maybe it was the costume..... There were definitely sparks!
24. Who asked who out? Doug did! No question. The first week he saw me at Institute class, he tried to follow me out, but I was talking to someone else. During the week he asked his friends who the "fresh meat" was and no one knew. So the next week, he sat as close to me as possible and after class whipped out his Franklin planner and booked me for three dates.
26. Who's more sensitive? Doug, I think.
28. Who has more friends? Me, maybe. Which I think is kind of weird since I'm the shy, slightly social-phobic one and he's the one who talks to everyone. But he's become quite the homebody since we've been married.
29. Who has more siblings? Me with a sister, two brothers, and two step-brothers. He has one sister.
30. Who wears the pants in the relationship? I don't really consider myself a domineering woman, nor him a submissive man, but I think I wear the pants most of the time....
31.Who's more sexy? Good question.
32. Who sleeps naked? No one. G's - hello?
33. Who's the better cook? Me, I'm lucky to have great genetics on both sides where that is concerned! Doug cooks a mean steak with mushrooms, though, and yummy BBQ'd corn! He follows directions pretty well, and his scrambled eggs just get better and better!
34. Who has more money? Like Crystal & Mitch- we're in it together, both broke, and lovin' it.
35. Who has more tattoos? None, thank you very much!
36. Who eats more sweets? Doug has the biggest sweet tooth I've ever seen. He's hungry- where's the cookies, cake, pie, etc?...
37. Who is closer to their family? I am. It's impossible to not be close when you have a big family- there's little privacy and no secrets. And we just really have fun together.
38. Who has the older car? Doug drives drives the biggest "piece." It rattles so bad, he swears the car is going to rattle apart around him one day.
39. Who has bigger dreams? We both have dreams, I'm a little more impatient about mine and he's a little less sure about what his are at the moment.
40. Who cries more? I think it's equal. I cry less than the average female and he cries more than the average male.
* Perhaps I should add that we both cry very infrequently! That made Doug sound like a sissy. ;)
2. Who said "I Love You" First? It's been almost a decade- neither of us can remember.

This is Doug's version of sexy.
Our third date. Poison Ivy with the Convicted Singles Ward Playa.

A Few of My Favorite Things...
Maybe this is a weird post, but there are some household staples that make my life so much easier; and you gotta love that! So I thought I'd share my top 5:
5. Murphy's Oil Soap
4. Magic Eraser
My friend Melanie turned me onto to these. Simply get them wet and they take crayon off walls (paint too, so be careful), greasy grime off the stove vent hood, cleans porous surfaces, takes the weird black smoke film off plastics. Target sells a generic four-pack for around $2.
3. Bar Keepers Friend
My Friend...! Where have you been all my life?! How did I ever live without you?
Yep, it's that good! I got Stainless steel pans two Christmases ago and the first time I tried to cook an egg in one (not recommended, BTW) I had the worst, stickiest, greasiest mess left on the bottom of my new, spotless skillet- even after washing- even after repeated use and washing... Finally, my Mom tracked down some of this stuff at Wal-Mart and now I'm in love- and so is my husband. It even takes the burner marks off the bottom to leave a spotless shine that can only make you say, "Ahhhhh.....I looooove you...."
2. DeMarle Silicone Bakeware
This is my number 1 choice for all the sanity it has saved me! My kids aren't allergic to anything and we really have no need for an air purifier except as a "white noise machine." The fact that it cleans the air is just a bonus. I bought this for Sterling when he was a few months old and we were trying to sleep train him. We were always tip-toeing around so we didn't wake him up. Finally, I bought this and now both my kids have one in their rooms. I know I can't sleep through disturbing noises, and now I don't have to worry about waking them up! Aahhhh... three-hour naps...

My friend Melanie turned me onto to these. Simply get them wet and they take crayon off walls (paint too, so be careful), greasy grime off the stove vent hood, cleans porous surfaces, takes the weird black smoke film off plastics. Target sells a generic four-pack for around $2.3. Bar Keepers Friend

2. DeMarle Silicone Bakeware
I used to hate making muffins because it seemed like so much work to either grease and flour the muffin pan, or to use paper liners (which I hate), and then to try to scrub the burnt crusties off of it, and then have it rust in my dishwasher. But since I got the DeMarle Muffin tray over a year ago, I can't tell you how much I've used that thing! I make the Blueberry-Cream Cheese Muffins the most because they're my favorite, but also have made meatloaf, mini frittatas (á la Giada), cupcakes, mini cheesecakes, and banana bread. I'm always trying to use that instead of anything else- even my bread and cake pans...
And of course, the Silpat should be a household staple, in my opinion. Who wants to scrub cookie sheets all the time?
1. Air Purifier
