Jenn – You are the number ONE point getter! I am the official hander-outer of these accolades. Now if I only knew what ‘database systems’ actually meant or looked like it might earn you even more points.

To my defense, my work had just switched donor database systems, and so part of the catching up on the news of the day was talking about the new system. So there. Besides, shouldn’t I get points for being able to handle a conversation about nerdy topics with my computer-y husband?

I would comment on that whole therapy thing, which is funny… but you completely sidelined me with the database comment. That is so unspeakably nerdy… ugh. I am speechless.

Doug and Kristin, you two NEED to move to Ontario and go on double dates with my parents. Either that or Mike and I need to move to Calgary and go to therapy with Rhett and Leah.

A date night is going to two separate movies? Romantic. Even Mike said that’s “a really nice date” with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Honestly, how can you make out in the theatre if you’re in two separate ones?? (I shouldn’t comment on that…. Mike and I have been known to discuss database design during the previews!)

Seriously though, Mike and I often rent two movies – one I prefer for us both to watch, and one for him to watch and me to sleep through. We only go to the theatre for mutually agreed upon movies, like Prince Caspian.

I have always considered Liz to be a fine example of ‘womanhood’!

You should see Liz when she picks tv programs and quickly falls asleep. Generally she falls asleep when I want to watch a sports show, but when I go to change channels after she falls asleep, she wakes up and wants her channel back.

Mary – I rarely fall asleep in the theatre … only at really bad movies. However I can’t seem to stay awake when we rent movies. Doug & I always argue when we go to rent a movie. I say “I’ve never seen this before.” and he’ll say “You slept through it!”

Looks like Doug & I have resolved one dispute. Tomorrow night we’ll go to the 2nd run theatre … I’ll see Sex & the City and he’ll see Hellboy or Iron Man (for the 2nd time!) How’s that for a date night!!

I hear you, Doug!! No “poor Kristin” comment from me until she resolves the “favouritism” issue!!
Doug and Kristin … you sound soo much like Gerald and I … our tastes in movies differ greatly. But doesn’t matter much … I fall asleep all the time anyways! Just ask Jen…
