<p>Sometimes I&#8217;m truly amazed at just how BAD of a wife I really am. Honestly I feel sorry for my husband sometimes. It&#8217;s bad enough that I don&#8217;t cook &#8211; no really I don&#8217;t &#8211; and have no desire to learn but I&#8217;m also not very good about cleaning the house. Pretty much the only thing I have going for me in the &#8220;domestic wifey&#8221; column is the fact that I keep our bank account in the black and he really doesn&#8217;t have to worry about the bills getting paid. He asks me if we can afford such and such and he can totally trust my answer. (side note: I hardly ever say no to a request just out of spite &#8211; hence the new $500 shotgun in the closet) However yesterday&#8230;oh my god&#8230;I crossed a line&#8230;a big one&#8230;</p>
<p>So there we were just chillin in the living room watching our beloved Illini basketball team. We are both pretty big sports fans and diehard Illini fans. It&#8217;s about mid-way through the game and the announcers are talking about how one of the differences in the game has been the &#8220;points in the paint&#8221;. This is the conversation that took place&#8230;</p>
<p>Him: so when they say points in the paint they mean the area below the free-throw line right?<br />Me: &#8230;are you kidding me&#8230;you don&#8217;t know what the paint is&#8230;how the hell can you call yourself a true fan&#8230;(lots of laughter)<br />Him: **angry silence**</p>
<p>He refused to speak to me for 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Lesson &#8211; If you husband is a sports fan and you happen to know more about a particular game or the lingo of said game you should NOT make fun of him when he doesn&#8217;t. Next time I will just keep my big mouth shut.</p>
<p>***UPDATE: I&#8217;m not sure if I was exactly clear&#8230;my husband wasn&#8217;t actually mad at me for making fun of him it was just a conversation that I thought was rather funny because really how often do wives have to school there husbands about sports&#8230;

<div class="snap_preview">I found this meme on <a href="http://willtherebecake.wordpress.com/">Liz&#8217;s</a> site, it looked easy (mostly because our answers are so similar &#8211; Gawd I&#8217;m lazy today).</p>
<p>• How long have you been together? Together almost six years married two and a half years</p>
<p>• How long did you know each other before you started dating? A week or so, and by &#8220;dating&#8221; you mean pretty much living together right?</p>
<p>• Who asked who out? There really wasn&#8217;t any &#8220;asking out&#8221; we met in college, we traveled in packs. I just made sure we would be going to the same bar on the same night.</p>
<p>• How old are each of you? 27</p>
<p>• Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? Well considering I&#8217;m an only lonely that would be his sister</p>
<p>• Do you have any children together? Can I count the little <strike>parasite</strike> darling currently residing in my tummy</p>
<p>• What about pets? We have a cat named Kitty and we should have a lab puppy this summer sometime.&nbsp; </p>
<p>• Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? dealing with families, we both have awesome families but they function in very different ways and it has been hard for us to adjust to each others idiosyncrasies &#8211; very hard. </p>
<p>• Did you go to the same school? To the same college yes</p>
<p>• Are you from the same home town? Nope, he doesn&#8217;t really have a &#8220;hometown&#8221; he moved around a lot as a child</p>
<p>• Who is the smartest? well I&#8217;m a complete nerd but he is really smart too, luckily we are smart in different areas</p>
<p>• Who is the most sensitive? sensitive towards others neither, in respect to ourselves I think it would be me, I get my feelings hurt easier</p>
<p>• Where do you eat out most as a couple? Longhorn Steakhouse, it drives him nuts that I order the same thing every time. I have a favorite dish/meal every where we go and I RARELY veer off course</p>
<p>• Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Imperial Beach, CA</p>
<p>• Who has the craziest exes? definitely him</p>
<p>• Who has the worst temper? that would be me, I am a true red head</p>
<p>• Who does the cooking? He does basically all the cooking (and the dishes) I am completely inept in the kitchen</p>
<p>• Who is more social? Him for sure</p>
<p>• Who is the neat-freak? Neither of us is super clean</p>
<p>• Who is the more stubborn? I&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s a draw</p>
<p>• Who hogs the bed? He does. No matter what size bed we sleep in, he always ends up right in the middle of it. (wow I didn&#8217;t even have to touch this answer from Liz)</p>
<p>• Who wakes up earlier? I do, he can still sleep until noon, I&#8217;m up by 7:00 at least no matter what</p>
<p>• Where was your first date? Like I said before we traveled in a pack in college, although if I had to pick I would say it took place in my living room, I invited him over to watch a Nascar Race at my apartment.</p>
<p>• Who has the bigger family? Me &#8211; drives him nuts</p>
<p>• Do you get flowers often? Only on Valentine&#8217;s Day but I&#8217;m not super into flowers, I only enjoy them on Valentine&#8217;s Day because I don&#8217;t want to be left out.</p>
<p>• How do you spend the holidays? Thanksgiving belongs to my family (to avoid the crazies in his), We have Easter with both our parents (I know it&#8217;s weird that they get along &#8211; right) and Christmas we go all over hell&#8217;s half acre and back to see everyone. </p>
<p>• Who is more jealous? This is too broad to really know, we both have our moments. </p>
<p>• How long did it take to get serious? Not very damn long, I would say withing 3 weeks of &#8220;meeting&#8221; him we were pretty much living together. </p>
<p>• Who eats more? Me, I graze all day long</p>
<p>• Who does/ did the laundry? Since he handles the kitchen I try to do most all the other chores</p>
<p>• Who’s better with the computer? He can barely get online without my help.</p>
<p>• Who drives when you are together? Usually him unless I&#8217;m being DD</p></div>
