Conversation earlier between my sister J (the newlywed) and I:
Me: So I'm sitting there watching CNN interview Harriet Miers freaking hairdresser when D comes over and switches the channel to catch the football highlights. Can you believe that? He didn't even ask...
J: Geez Mint, you have to learn give and take in a marriage.
Me: ::::: blank stare:::::
J: Wha?
Me: Are you giving me relationship advice?
J: I...uh..well yeah. I guess I am.
Me: (I'm in a really bitchy mood today). Sweetie, I have gum in my purse older than your marriage. I think I know a wee bit more about give-and-take than you do.
J: (rolls her eyes)
Lately I'm reminded of how opposite D and I are. I'm a night-owl, he's an early bird. I'm a news junkie, he's a sports fanatic. I love seafood while he thinks beef is a birthright. Some days we are the poster children for "opposites attract".

As Paula Abdul would sing:
It ain't fiction but a natural fact...
... that opposites attract.
...and other days it seems you have so much in common.....?

hehe D sounds hilarious man..
and today i learnt in psychology that 'opposites do attract, as long as their long term goals are the same'
there ya go!
That's the fun part, minty! Though I admit me and hubby too are the opposite ends. But I get my way mostly :)
