Re: Good morning!
I'm trying to clean the house and pack while watching DD because I've got a seminar to go to out of town this weekend. This will be the first time DH has been responsible for her on his own for more than a few hours. I'm torn between hoping she's really good so he doesn't set her outside in the snow to sleep (joke), and hoping she's her normal mixed-mood self so he fully appreciates what I do day in, day out.
QOTD: We met here in Germany while I was studying abroad my junior year of college. We were both in a Christian organization and met at a Bible study. My first impression of him was mixed because he seemed nice, but he came late and left early the first evening, so it seemed like he thought he was "too important" to be there the whole time.
Good Morning. It was an easy Thursday. Getting back on an exercise routine, this was day 2. After I read for three hours and had an afternoon nap, I reheated leftover lasagne and muffins for dinner, and DH brought home some ice cream for dessert.
QOTD: We met online though a penpals website. In person, we met at the Melbourne airport. My first impression is colored by the fact that I was trying to hide from him, lest he be disappointed in me. My plane was early and he was in the wrong place looking for me, so my first view of him was of a rather frantic person searching for someone.
Good morning! It didn't snow last night and it doesn't look like it will today, but it sure is cold out there.
Kelly, I completely get where you're coming from. I want the best when my H stays home with W because my H doesn't always have my patience, but then I want him to have a day like a typical one of mine so he knows what I go through. That said, I don't think he'd ever admit it if W was a bit more to handle than he thought.
QOTD: We met through mutual friends (his friends who were customers where I worked). After my ex-bf and I broke up they invited me out and H was there. All those guys that were there that first night we met were in our wedding party.
My first impressions of my H was that he was cute, so confident and so hilarious. I used to see him walk by my office and point him out to my coworker all the time. I think my H thought I was a bit rude because my sarcasm really comes out strong when I'm nervous and I guess I was just really sarcastic.
Good morning. Though I'm not sure about the "good" - head cold and I didn't sleep well last night. But it is my "Friday" today and I can't wait for my first 3 day weekend.
QOTD: There was a large party in the house I was sharing with 4 others. We all brought friends with us and he was a friend of my housemate's boyfriend. We hit it off straight away and spent the night talking on the stairs or the hall... and we went for breakfast in the early morning (no, hadn't been near a bedroom!) while the party was still going on. That was end of Sept 2001 and we've been together ever since.
Good morning. I need to clean, but I've been putting it off. My sleep schedule has been terrible since getting back and I've been too lazy during the day. I'm watching Teen Mom now (I know, I know...) and I want to go to the gym but there's a decent amount of snow and ice so I will wait until DH gets home from work to drive me.
QOTD: at a Universit? de Gen?ve party that I went to my second week as an au pair in Geneva. I talked to him a little bit but I was there with a different guy, he ended up adding me on facebook later that night. The other guy and I didn't work out and DH had sent me an email asking about UPS vs. USPS for shipping from the US...and we continued to talk from there.
Good morning! I'm up earlier than I have to be because FI was loud getting out of bed this morning (grr). He forgot I didn't have to get up. I'm cleaning a little because we're having fellow Americans over on Sunday to watch the Super Bowl and the flat is a mess.
ktk, I wish there was snow here. It flurried the other day and I was really happy.
QOTD: We lived on the same floor freshman year of college. We were in a few classes together, too. My first impression was that he was really shy and quiet but also really smart and kind. It took us a little bit to actually get together.
Morning! It?s effing cold here, and I can?t feel my toes. I always get cold feet when the temps dip below freezing and I never can figure out how to keep them warm. I wear wool socks, two pairs and winter boots and I still get the feeling my toes are gone.
QOTD: DH came 45 min. late to his first English class that I was teaching and then asked if we could switch the time of the lesson (group of 10 people) to better suit him. I thought he was an incredibly entitled manager type, so I spent the next few weeks picking on him as much as possible not realising that he had a thing for me.
Work today and then I'm supposed to go to some intro tour of a women's gym near our new apartment. I've never joined a gym, but I figure it's worth a look.
QOTD: DH and I first saw each other at the Catholic Church on campus. He went to church "religiously" when he was single...good place to meet girls, I suppose.
We didn't speak until months later at a dinner party. It sounds like a bad joke, but it was me, three Italian nuns, and a mutual friend who's gay. DH likes to say that his options were limited for the night, so it was me by default
.
We saw each other the next four days in a row. By the end of that week we were together.
ETA: My impression. I remember being intrigued by him. He walked in wearing jeans and a gray cord blazer. I thought to myself, "Hmmm, tonight just got interesting."
Morning! I feel awful. I'm sick and DD seems to be screaming for no reason that I can figure out. On a day like this I wish I lived closer to my family so I could ask for some help. H's family is nearby, but it's really not the same. I'm just in a self-pity mode. How lame.
QOTD: I met DH at a language exchange while sitting on another guy's lap. No joke. He and his friends spent the whole time hitting on my blonde friend and after that first meeting he added both me and blonde friend on windows messenger. He kept trying to get blonde friend to go out to coffee with him (she had a boyfriend and kept saying no) and starting talking to me quite often on messenger. I had a thing with the guy whose lap I was sitting on when we met so I never agreed to meet up with him.
Then the thing with the other guy ended and it was Christmas break and I was in Madrid pretty much all alone for a few days before my sister arrived to meet up with me. We decided to meet up and I realized he's the sweetest guy I've ever met, went on a day-long date and became inseperable. That's more than what you asked for, but I felt like I had to explain more than "I met him while having a fling with another guy." Haha.
I spent three hours in the car today. It should have been 45 minutes total but in true KL fashion the traffic was insane at random times for no apparent reason.
QOTD: We were in a bar and he was buying everyone celebratory shots because his university's basketball team had just won their first round game in the NCAA tournament. I was sitting at the table next to him and we started talking while I was trying to figure out why a round had just appeared at our table. I remember thinking that he was really good looking and very well spoken. I went back to my flat and told my roommate that I'd met a "hot American businessman" that night. I was kind of seeing someone else at the time, but that is a very long and different story.
I'm at work per usual. Then working out tonight.
QOTD: It's a bit complicated. A month after moving to England I joined a field hockey club. The club was part of a group of clubs (field hockey, cricket, squash & tennis). My DH was part of the cricket club and coached a few women who also played field hockey. One of the women who did both became a friend and she invited me to her birthday bash which was being held at a Ceiledh (Scottish Dance - she's Scottish). I thought he was cute but also taken as he had arrived with a woman. Turns out he wasn't with her. He asked me to dance the last dance, kissed me at the end and then asked me to join him at the after-hours club. We hung out until about 3am talking. I wasn't interested in dating anyone seriously as I was new to town and wasn't sure I wanted to stay (had a two year contract), but, well..it worked out.
I find that rather hilarious.
Good morning! I'm getting out of work a bit early to go sign my lease then meeting a friend to walk home. My hip has been acting up so I'm taking an extra day off from jogging to see if some rest will help.
QODT: DH and I were set up by a mutual friend as we were both looking for something not serious. We were 19 at the time and both seeing other people too - nothing serious, just having fun being teenagers! Well, two months after we met, we became exclusive and never looked back. Come to think of it, we met 13 years ago next week. Wow.

I love it! I've had the same thing happen in my classes occasionally, but I didn't end up marrying them. ;-) And I had a thing for my first German teacher while I was here and taking night classes at the VHS, but that never worked out - we did become friends and visit / email to this day, though (12 years later).
Good afternoon! Last day of the week, woo hoo! Looking forward to finishing up the day at work and heading to happy hour with some friends :-)
QOTD:
I met my SO at a party through a mutual friend. My mutual friend mentioned that his upstairs neighbor would be there, and I knew everyone else, so when I got there, I went right up to him and said Hi, you must be DH (name). He was surprised that I knew his name, and we hit it off and chatted all night. I had a bf at the time, and DH had a date the next day, but by the end of the weekend, I had broken it off with the BF, and his date went terribly, and we've been inseparable ever since.
Our friend Steve likes to call it a South Oakland love story (Pitt - that will probably only make sense to you! I met him on Atwood Street, lol).
My first impression is that he was cute and funny, although he was pretty drunk off of margaritas, lol! I tried to seduce him the next night, and he was super honorable, and told me he wanted me to make up my mind about my bf before we did anything. It will be 10 years together for us in Sept!
Oops, that got long :-P

Good afternoon!
Just got home from a haircut and now I'm waiting for MIL to arrive for lunch. So far - so good!
It's cold here too and supposed to snow, it hasn't snowed here in two years!
QOTD: We were neighbours my first year of uni. He came and knocked on my door on Valentine's eve to invite my friends and I to his Single Valentine's party. We went by for a drink before going out to a club and then stopped by again on our way back to my place. We didn't talk much that night though.
A few days later he came over to invite me out for coffee, we became friends - I wasn't interested in anything and then at the end of March we finally kissed, we've been together ever since - that was 14 years ago now!
Afternoon! I had some medical stuff to take care of, was able to see a few friends, and grabbed some stuff for big salads for dinner. Left my mom at home for all this since I had an early start to the day. Trying to borrow the Deathly Hallows movies from a friend since my mom said she hasn't seen them. Just a chill night at home.
QOTD: I met DH through a mutual friend. DH likes to tease me because I don't remember the initial meeting. Oops.
