Hmm, okay, so although we weren't actually married, Todd Lehman and I had an
awesome, wicked-fun 5 years together. We ate LEGO for food.

My husband and I both do the LEGO-thang. We met at a NELUG meeting! :-) Happily
married for 1.3 years.
I probably have 100 times more LEGO than Jim does, but somehow he's the only one
who manages to build anything..
I'm in trouble with him right now for leaving my 30+ red DACTA bins (filled with
bricks) in our bedroom, blocking his dresser. His fall/winter wardrobe is back
there somewhere. Oh well, now it's almost Spring! Not my fault we don't have
enough rooms for my collection...
He can't be *too* mad at me though, because tonight he said I can pick out some
LEGO for my birthday. hee-hee!
Jim and I do have some LEGO-related stress moments, of the kind you wouldn't
have with a NLSO. Like, he gets to buy more LEGO than I do, so I get jealous.
Esp when he buys sets with minifigs I really want and SOMEhow those new sets
quickly disappear into "his" collection. Or when he goes online and buys
specific elements, paying who-knows-what, before asking me if I have any - when
I've got dozens, hoarded years ago, still unused!! And he makes fun of me for
saving his boxes from the trash (though I finally got him trained to open his
boxes without damaging the art). He gets on my badlist when he suggests he may
do some *unpure* LEGO building. But I really irk him when I stay up late reading
LUGNET.. uh.. oops!
bye!
