what do people talk about?

I often will see people chatting away and I wonder what they are talking about.  Especially husbands and wives.  Not that R and I really run out of things to talk about, luckily he's very chatty, but I am just curious.

We talk about

politics
our kids
logistics (who is going to pick up which kid when and where, what time will he be home, who is paying what bill, how many games do we have to attend on Saturday)
where we'd like to go, or what we'd like to do (whether we actually go or do is separate)
other people we know (who is getting married (our kids friends), who had  a heart attack (our friends), who died (our parents friends))
what I want to paint
exercise R wants us to do
miscellaneous

in that order

  2. ps - i think you need to delete your christmas background... when your blog comes up it goes to black background, christmas, and then your cute valentines one. mine did that one time, and i had forgotten to delete the old ones. :)

  3. we talk about those things....plus, who's having babies, getting married, what school his younger brother will choose {he has a full ride to 3 colleges-none byu! because they don't really recruit from the east coast}, mission possibilities, blog updates {i keep him informed on everyone, facebook statuses {as another update}, also, we people watch and try to guess what's going on in their lives or conversations. oh, and baby stuff, kid stuff, money, work, and church.
