We were at a wedding last weekend and priest droned went on about how you may have pet name or nicknames for your spouse but one of the most important names you should call them is “friend.” I totally agree, but I think he could have made his point a little sooner and with a bit more flair. It was starting to remind me of the wedding scene in The Princess Bride.

Anyway, it did get me thinking about all the nicknames we have for one another. They are super embarrassing. Actually he calls me pretty normal stuff like Sweetheart (personal fave) and Boo, although he does throw in the occasional Wifey. I’m not a fan, but whatev.

I, on the other hand, seem to have an aversion to calling him by his given name. Here are some of the stranger things I call him:

1. Boo Berry Rex

2. Boo Berry

3. Pumpkinhead

4. Muffin Tush (simply because it sounds ridiculous - he has a fine tush, nothing muffin-y about it)

5. My Sexy Hunk O Man

Why do I do this?? They sound silly as all get out, I know. I promise I don’t do it in public. It doesn’t seem to bother him and usually I call him Sweety or Sweetheart.

Do you have any crazy or ridiculous names you’re willing to share? Or do you abhor nicknames all together?

I recently heard about a Martial Scale quiz online based on a 1930’s marital scale.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon with the husband, so we decided to see how we rated. I went first, giggled about some of the questions like “Eats onions, radishes, or garlic before a date or going to bed.” When it was all said and done, I was an average 1930’s wife and I was fine with that. Randy takes it. At the end I see a smile emerge on his face. And he said the words that hit me like a ton of bricks.

“I am a superior 1930’s husband.”

WHAT??? How can I be average and he is superior? Am I a bad wife? And then something crazy happened. I got all teary eyed about it. Crying over a stupid internet quiz surely isn’t going to help my score. In fact, there was a question about crying. Must. Stop. Crying.

My Superior husband looked at me loving and said I was a fantastic wife for 2008. Sniff. Ok…I feel a little better. But still, I need to learn a musical instrument, join a woman’s club, darn socks and stop putting my cold feet on him at night. That should earn me a few extra wife points just in case a time machine should come available.

Here’s a little tale about my sometimes bizarre train of thought. I was working in the garden and noticed the yarrow (AKA Achillea) that I tore out last year because it gives me a terrible rash is coming back. It brushed against my leg and and knew I was in for an itchy evening.

Then I thought about poison ivy. Which made me think about Drew Barrymore because she was in a horrible movie of the same in which she had giant hair. Then because I was getting itchy and thinking about movie stars, I thought about the move The Seven Year Itch. Which made me realize that my husband and I are getting ready to enter our seventh year of marriage.

See - I can go from an stupid plant to marriage in about 3.5 seconds.
