... In short, always remember that marriage's middle name is compromise. If you want to have a happy home, it is imperative that you make sure you & your spouse BOTH have a hand in decorating it. As I said above, if you and your spouse don't see eye to eye on everything, then you should each pick a room to design in your own style and then pick one where you both contribute. You can't go wrong with that approach. Mrs. Adama and I are proof that this method is guaranteed for success.

Success? Seriously? Have you SEEN our living room Lee? I swear to the gods if you stack the damn coasters and line them up perpendicular to the coffee table one more time, I'm going to scream. And what's with the reorganizing of all the books? I can't find anything any more. You've seriously taken the neatness thing to a whole new freakish level. The kitchen looks like it's been sterilized for frak's sake. Cottle could perform surgery in there. It's a KITCHEN Lee. Things spill in there. Get over it. Oh, and by the way, I'm not your mom Lee, so stop calling me Mrs. Adama.

Kara, if you're going to use specifics about our life, you're not "anonymous." What's wrong with the books? All I did was organize the books by genre and then alphabetized by author! It's way better than spending hours looking through shelf after shelf for a copy of "Five Easy Steps to Win at Triad." And you ARE Mrs. Adama, too late to take it back now.
Response to author from "Kara Thrace-Adama"
THAT's the book you were looking for and what started the whole organizing-the-bookshelves project last week? Gods Lee, I gave that one away to Hot Dog weeks ago. And, I don't want to take back being married to you, you big baby.
(K ... that's it. I'm out of anything else to say. It's been a LONG day). What an AWESOME & FUN post btw Heather!
