* QOTD 7/30/13 *

Good morning girls! So I am a self-proclaimed reality TV junkie (to a certain extent... some of them I just CAN'T watch). Sometimes I watch them and wonder if my life is interesting enough to be a reality show... and I am 99% sure it most certainly is NOT! Which leads to me to my 2-part question of the day...

1. What is an average weekday in your and FH's life like? How will it change once you are married?

2. If you had a reality show about your lives/relationship, what would it be called?

Well our average weekday is pretty much the same every day, except if we have something different we have to do at night time. We live together. Before I leave for work, I think about what I am making for dinner and either put something out to defrost or marinade. Depending on where I am working for the day (I travel for work) I will be home anywhere between 6 and 8. I am an accountant so during tax season I work 6 days a week and much later hours. Anyway I get home and cook dinner (every night!)... I do NOT allow TV on at dinner! and we HAVE to sit at the table with each other. A little rule of mine.. I think it's important. After dinner, I clean up and do all the dishes and clean the kitchen while FH does paperwork in his office. By this time it is late already. Sometimes we will sit outside on the patio and hang out for a bit, or take a ride to get ice cream or visit our parents or something. I make our lunches for the next day, prep the coffee for the next day (we have the coffee pot on a timer), and shower and get ready for bed...watch some TV. How exciting! lol and I am pretty sure this will not change at all once we are married.

If our life was a reality show, I think it would be called 'What's For Dinner?' haha because that seems to be the focus of our day!

We live two states away from each other but we both have very busy lives. A typical weekday for us is me calling to say good morning at 8 which 9 times out of 10 wakes him up. I go to class from 9:30 to 12:20, do my homework that I got from that day, work 2:30 to 6 or 7 and then I usually have to go back to school for some sort of extracurricular. Go home, have dinner, and watch svu on Hulu. He goes to his first job 10 to 2:30, heads home to make food for his break at his second job which he's at 3-11:30. We talk on the phone when he gets out and then go to bed. When we're married, we'll be living together so it'll be drastically different.
If we had a tv show, it would probably be called 'the call' because I feel like the phone is what keeps us together and we're constantly trying to sneak in talking to each other whenever we can.

I am ALSO a reality tv junkie... so don't worry!

A typical weekday is: he gets up first. Showers and makes a pot of coffee for me while i'm still fighting with the snooze button. He leaves for work and then I do. Then we both work... sporadically texting each other throughout the day. On his way home he'll call me and we'll both run separate errands and then meet at home. We'll have dinner and then we'll watch some TV or he'll do some work for the business he has while I watch my reality tv. Then we go to bed and do it allllll over again. We're so boring its not even funny and I'm fairly certain this will be our days until kids are involved :)


I really have NO idea what our show would be called. FH would probably make it something ridiculous and thats okay lol. he likes different and weird things so I'll let him take care of the naming of our show.

We have the same life! lol literally get through the day and do it all over again. But when you are doing these mundane things with someone you know is the one for you, it doesn't seem so mundane anymore.

We also live together and lead a very boring (but happy) life. He wakes up before me and will start getting ready since he actually takes longer in the am. He is up at 6 but wakes me up at around 6:30, we have coffee get ready, feed the animals, then off to work. I get home at 3:30 the latest pretty much everyday, I work 7-3 but his hours vary 8-6 or later during busy season. When I get home I straighten up the mess we made rushing around in the morning, figure out what to make for dinner, and watch a show if there is one I DVR'd. Then I try to time starting dinner so its ready for when FH gets home but I sometimes just fall asleep on the couch waiting and then I have to jump up when he gets home and cook while half asleep lol. Then FH does the dishes! YUP. And I usually pop online to LIW and FB lol or read a book while he watches his shows. We both shower at night and then go to be together every night. We're old folks. So thats what our show name would be lol 'The Old Folks' since the Turkey Roast I'm making tonight is about as exciting as it gets. But hey if you can be happy like that you can be happy for life!

You just made me smile! It's so true! I am marinading steak pinwheels rolled up with spinach and cheese for tonight and am very excited about it. LOL

We don't live together so our routine is we go to gym together 3-4x a week in the am then both go home to get ready for work.. We hang out a few nights during the week watching all our reality shows that he tivo's lol or we go to dinner etc, most weekends we just bum around and relax, we love to cook together .I can't wait to live together so we can get into a routine with each other! I have no idea what our reality show would be called, our routine is so boring!

@stephaniexo.. U cracked me up with 'what's for dinner' ... That's the first thing we ask each other when we see each other!!

1. FH gets up while it's still dark outside, goes for a run, showers, and kisses me goodbye while I continue to sleep until I have to get up for work. We text randomly throughout the day. I come home after him, work out, shower, and make dinner. After dinner, the TV usually goes on and he'll fall asleep in front of it while I play around on my phone until it's late enough to go to bed. Since we live together, I don't see this changing once we're married.

2. It would be called 'Life with Snippy.' So we make fun of each other basically ALL THE TIME. Like, serious conversations rarely happen in our house because then one of us will just bust out a playful insult. So one day I was irritated and said something snippy, and he started calling me Snippy Lori and drawing cartoons on our whiteboard about me being snippy. So now whenever I get irritated, he just turns it into a joke on the whiteboard. It actually makes me laugh instead of getting more irritated, so whatever works!

I love this! hahahahaha = true love

I will also openly admit I am a reality TV junkie!!

FH & I live together and our routine for the summer has been this. FH wakes up in the morning, gets showered and ready for work then he says ' I love you' to me each morning before he leaves as I groggily say 'I love you' back! The time he goes to work varies depending on system releases and all that jazz but anywhere between 6-7 he is up getting ready. I then stay asleep until I would say 8-9:30 before I start my summer off days where I wake up, make the bed, shower, make breakfast and my coffee/tea and take something out to defrost. I then plop on the couch, sign on skype and talk to FH all day long while browsing the web and watching TV. Lazy days! He then comes home between 6-7 where dinner is normally on the table, he changes and we sit and eat dinner together while talking. There are no cell phones allowed during this time! It is OUR moment to unwind together and catch up (even though we had been talking all day hehe). After that FH helps me clean up dinner and he generally goes to the couch to finish up some work or browse the web while I make his lunch for the following day and meet him on the couch to watch our shows together. We normally watch a few shows then go into our bedroom where we read for a little bit then go to bed. Then we wake up and do it over again!

*What changes in our schedule when I am up working is I get up at 6:15-6:30 to get ready and depending on when he needs to be at work we are getting ready together or he is after me. I still take out something to defrost for dinner in the morning, make my coffee to go, grab my lunch and head out the door by 7. We still talk all day long too. When I get home after work which is normally by 4 I straighten up the mess from the AM and then relax until it is time to start cooking dinner.

I don't see much changing since we have had the same routine since we moved in together.

Our TV show would be called 'Chuckles' because we are constantly laughing!!

My day to see fiance is Saturday, he likes to sleep in. So I don't see him until mid afternoon. After we get married we'll live together, so hopefully we'll see each other everyday!

Wow, 200 posts! That crazy, I don't even contribute anything here

Love it! Very similar to everyone who lives together. I like when you said '... while I make his lunch for the following day and meet him on the couch...' that is so my life! lol. And if it's closer to 9:30 or 10, we skip the couch and watch TV in the bedroom.

I don't watch any reality tv--unless you count Bridezillas or HGTV Design Star lol.

FH and I live together but work different schedules. My typical day starts at 6:00am; his begins around 6 or 7pm when I get home from work. Sometimes, FH will still be at work when I get up. If he was off the night before, he'd be sleeping when I wake up for work. On a rare occasion, I'll wake up and he will still be awake from his night off, and will have already fed the pets and made me coffee--so I have a few precious minutes to see him before I have to leave. I work from 8:00am-5:00pm Mon-Fri in Suffolk. FH works 11:00pm-7:00am in NYC. So, we both have a decent commute to work. When I get home, sometimes he'll still be sleeping (if he worked O/T that morning) so I won't see him until he has to get up and get ready for work. On my favorite nights, he's home waiting for me. I usually cook a bunch over the weekend so that we have dinners ready for most of the week. This gives us more time together to talk, hang out in the yard by the fire pit, walk our dog together, or veg out with tv (we are sci-fi nerds). I pack our lunches every night. FH has been getting the same identical lunch every day for the past 5 or 6 years! He is a creature of habit! Lol. Weeknights are boring, but we are happy with our routine for the most part. So, I doubt anything will change at all once we are married.

FH hates reality tv so when I watch it is when he works Saturdays which is rare and I watch whole seasons in one day..LOL..

I wake up about an hour before FH because I have to commute to city.When I live I kiss whatever part of his face I can find (most times his forehead) good bye.. and I go to work.unless we have a concert of plans for the night.. He gets home about an hour before me so he vegs and catches up on FB and Email while he waits. When I get home I make us dinner and we either watch a movie or catch up on our DVR shows.. and we usually watch TV and talk all night until I start falling asleep on couch.. then he will start shooting me with a water gun or throw things at me to wake me up lol.. but we go to bed together.. unless he cant wake me up and I sleep on couch.. haha. I do not see this changing much once we are married..

Our reality show would prob be called 'go to bed' since this is a nightly quote from him and I never listen..

Our weekday depends on if it's summer or not. We are both off over the summer.

Non-Summer days start around 6am for me, I get up, shower, tell FH to get up, he showers, we get dresses and we're out the door. He gets in from work around 3pm and watches tv/naps on the couch. I get home anywhere between 4:45 and 6 and I start cooking. He does the dishwasher. Then since we have completely different tastes in TV (him sports, me not sports) he goes on the couch to watch TV and I go in the office to watch some shows. Then it's bed and time to do it again!

Summer days, he gets up early, I sleep in a bit longer. Then we chill/run errands/do chores/sit poolside.

I'm sure life will stay this way when we're married, until we have kids, then it's a lot less TV and more family fun!

I'm so tired right now (had jury duty all day) and I honestly can't even think of a name for our reality show. LOL I'm so lame!

We don't live together yet, and even though we only live 5 mins from each other, for the first few years our schedules were so ridiculous we only got to see one another on the weekends. Now that I'm done with school, we usually see each other twice during the week where we cook dinner together, talk about our day, have some wine and catch up on our fav TV shows.
