Nicknames
Yes, we have hit that point in the relationship where we have nicknames. But we are dorky idiots, and therefore, our nicknames are dorky and idiotic.
While at the Cards game Tuesday, we had a ton of fun watching the text message board. It is just as it sounds...For $2.99, you can test a message and it goes up on the board. There were marriage proposals (one was turned down), pregnancy announcements (can you imagine telling your husband this way?), break-ups and general shenanigans. One message was to "Bubbles."
I told Laughs-a-lot that Bubbles was my nickname when I taught in the city, and that I refer to his daughter as Bubbles. (I did NOT mention that they have been the major subjects of a blog I write, because I don't want him to think I'm a total computer geek, and I would rather he learn about me by being with me and talking to me; not by reading the Cliff Notes.
He thought that was a great nickname for me, but then never mentioned it the rest of the evening.
Until I got home and there was an email from him, telling me what a great time he had and how glad he is to have met me. And he addressed me as Bubbles.
I replied to him and said I had a great time, too and that I was also very glad to be together.
I addressed him as Giggles. I made him, well, giggle.
So, now he writes emails to Bubbles and signs off as Giggles (which is a little disturbing coming from a man, but it does fit him.)

I think he would like that, too. Bubbles was just brought up because it was on that message board.
Bubbles and Giggles goes together, Spunky and Giggles doesn't work as well. I may have to think of a new nickname for him!
