How funny! I wrote a meme post this very night because I was tagged by two other people, and here you tagged me too. Strange coincidence.

I believe you about your baby girl, too. Troy has dreams like that and just knows things sometimes before they happen. He often knows what I'm going to say before I've even opened my mouth.

And finally, I heartily approve the name Sophia.

Cass

I do the same thing with Beauty and the Best - especially the song where she sings there's something there that wasn't there before. I should go and look for a life somewhere.

ali

i'm so glad you did this!!~
and i'm so with you on the milk thing. i cannot bring myself. ew.

Katie

I'm very envious of your dream predicting abilities! I always hoped to be the type of person who was that intuitive, but alas, things usually go the opposite of what I believe they're going to go!
And thanks for the tag...if you haven't already noticed, I've been in dire need of blog material!
Have the best time in Arkansas!!

Raven

OMG I was so upset last night watching The Office.

Also, the line about HR made me snort I was laughing so hard.

Kate

Have a great trip and Happy Anniversary! My anniversary is Monday too - 7 years for us. And my husband is the same way about milk (and most other things). I call him Captain Throwaway.

Jess

Have a great trip!

Also, the sell-by date is not a USE-by date. You are quite picky indeed.

Jennie

Green Day (undercover) will be playing in Little Rock, AR Monday night - I'm not kidding! It will be a really, really long line because they aren't selling tickets in advance, but it's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Hot Springs! Not sure when you're leaving, but here's a link just in case you're interested...

HA! I have to follow the Green Day comment? Not Fair! You are not even listening, are you? :)
I can do the same thing with Lion King. And I always cry when Mustafa dies. And the name Sophia was on our shortlist...but we have moved on to Lola...:) it is quite lovely, and remember, I am sending you fertile vibes every day.
Happy Anniversery, hon. Have a lovely time.

Rhi

Mr. Andrew Bernard, it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Hee. Have a fab time on your trip!!

Meredith

According to Perez Hilton, Green Day will also be playing in Dallas and Austin. Hope you have a good trip!

Sarah

First, thanks for tagging me! I am really excited!
Second, Sophia, what a beautiful name. My mom is the same way, she will get an intuitive feeling and it ALWAYS comes true.
And third, have a great time this weekend. Drink some champagne for me...a couple times!

Jen

You must have a fifth sense or ESPN or something! (Mean Girls, anyone?)
Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Someone Being Me

I completely agree with the milk thing. I am like that with all food. Like chips that have been open more than a week or lunch meat. I'm weird about food. Happy Anniversary. While you are celebrating yours in Arkansas I will be celebrating my 4 year in Florida.

Danielle-Lee

Okay, first off, I TOTALLY got the goosebumps when I read your ESPN-sense (YES, I love 'Mean Girls'). I am that way too. Have been my whole life. Some people think I'm nuts, but I really do just KNOW things before they happen. Not everything, and not as helpful as Medium, but still.
Happy Anniversary!

Danielle-Lee

OH WAIT! I forgot to mention this:

I LOVE PACEY WHITTER!!! I WANT TO EAT HIS CUTE FACE!
And I watched the entire show, all seasons, from beginning to end, while I was on maternity leave, and seriously, he is just yummy.

Michelle

What IS wrong with Andy Bernard? And my dreams have predicted the future too. I dreamed that my BFF would have a baby girl on Leap Day even though she was SURE it was a boy and she wasn't due until April 13. I called it. Also, on a sadder note, I dreamed my uncle died about three weeks before he actually did at age 41. Of course in my dream it was a car accident but he actually died of a heart attack. needless to say, i always get nervous when i dream of someone dying...

Loralee

I TOTALLY have a soundtrack going on in my head at all times.

natalie

Oh, I just love Sophia. I hope you have a very relaxing and sexy vacation.

My, my how the tables have turned. Now its me arriving home to presents on my doorsteps. Can't wait to have you standing by my side on Saturday!

Larissa

I totally believe in dreams literally coming true.

And Sophia...I've always loved that name. I truly hope that one happens for you guys. And soon!

EmilyPie

Happy Anniversary... have a fabulous trip! I'm (Ps... my husband is shampooing our carpets because the dog pooped in the living room last nigh...and just before he got to the last section - just now - one of them decided to pee right where he was going to shampoo - they never pee inside ever - hubby was irritated, but I thought it was considerate. ...back to your comment..) saving the meme for Monday, because well... I don't want to have to come up with anything on my own for monday!


Kristabella

Have a great trip! Happy anniversary!

I hate Andy too! He ruined it!

Although the stuff with Kevin was awesome!

Heather B.

You think you're messy? Oh I will show you messy, my friend and it isn't pretty. It's actually pretty damn scary.

Kristie

I so used to be like that with milk! Then I got over it when milk was over $3 for a gallon.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
