Jack really is the best dad, even if infant-glitches are driving me batty.

imogen/michael

Who cooks: Both of them. Michael does most of the actual work but Imogen helps by chopping up vegetables and cleaning up. They  see it as an opportunity for some quiet time together, although more than once cooking dinner has turned into a soap suds fight and ended with them laughing on the floor, dinner forgotten.

Who does the laundry and other chores:  Imogen does the laundry, since she’s more concerned with the upkeep of her clothes but Michael assists with the restrooms and the floor. They  make a calendar to split up all the other chores (and often forget to follow it).

How many children do they have: They have one daughter, Daisy. While expecting a baby they were completely unsure of what to name her and so they took a list of their favorite names to their closest friends for help, Daisy was the most popular one.  She lived up to her bright, sunny name, being a happy optimistic child. Daisy is doted on by both parents but she’s definitely Daddy’s little girl. And they’ve yet to announce it to their friends and Daisy, but Imogen and Michael are expecting a little brother for Daisy soon.

Who’s more dominate: In most things, Imogen tends to be the decision-maker, the outspoken one. But surprisingly,  in the bedroom Michael is the dom.

Favorite nonsexual activity: They like to go to the park and people-watch on their favorite bench, sometimes they nap there or bring along a picnic. If there’s no kids around they like to take over the playground… the swings are their favorites.

Their favorite place to be together:  If you ask them they’d say anyplace where the other is would be fine, but they love their park bench more than anyplace else in the world. Imogen has been known to accidentally shoot a glare at people who beat them to it.

Any traditions: They have a habit of crashing any masquerade parties they might know of, or trying to  turn all of their (and their friends’) parties into masquerades. Nobody is quite sure why they do this…

Their “song”:  “Falling Slowly” from the musical Once. They went to see a local production of it early in their relationship and the week later Michael recognized the tune Imogen was humming as their favorite song from the production. He went and bought the original cast recording for her and they fell into the habit of listening to the song at the end of every date.

What they do for each other on holidays: Immy always sets up a private Easter egg hunt for him in April. At first it would only be in his (and once they bought their own place- their) backyard but as of recent years it has become more of a scavenger hunt, leading all the way around the neighborhood and their favorite places. During the Christmas season he makes her gingerbread houses and people and they like to cuddle as they watch cheesy holiday movies on TV.

Where did they go for their honeymoon: Venice, Italy. It took them a while to decide on a location but in the end they chose dreamy Venice and loved it. They hope to return soon.

Where did they first meet: At school, of course. They enjoy telling people they’re high school sweethearts that really did find true love in one another.

Any pets: A few goldfish and a bunny (Imogen insisted). They shared a cat in college but it passed away a year before Daisy was born and they’ve never really thought about adopting another.

What do they fight over: They’re both very peaceful and tend to bottle up small issues in order not to argue, but once in a while one will finally lose their calm and they let out all their complaints at once. It ends up being kind of nasty sometimes, but because neither of them can stand being upset at the other they always end up caving in and making up pretty soon. And the make-up sex is so great that they joke about maybe arguing more once in a while.

Do they go on vacations, if so where: They like to go on roadtrips and let adventures find them along the way, but have also take vacations to large cities like NYC and London from time to time.

How to Get People to Re-Blog Your Posts

Whats up guys, Michael “The Tumblr Guy” Daniels here. If you’re new to Tumblr and are feeling a little lost, let me give you some pointers. 

A great way to get new followers is not to do all the work yourself but to allow the vast amount of people on Tumblr to do the work for you. Having people reblog your posts will bring people to your page which could result in new followers. That said…what do people tend to reblog?

Most people will reblog things they find helpful (such as this article), funny, cute, etc. Its no coincidence that funny and cute cats are one of the biggest viewed themes on youtube…people share things like that with others.

When you’re posting things, make it your goal to get at least 5 reblogs. Thats not hard at all. Eventually, you’ll start to see certain themes that people tend to reblog more than others which will give you an idea as to what you should focus on in the future. For more advice on Tumblr, check out my upcoming e-book…it’s free for you if you choose to follow me. Have a great day, or night…whichever applies.

NFL Picks: Hearing Canceled For Williams In Ring Debacle

NFL Picks: Roy Williams’ bid for the ring is apparently over. A court hearing scheduled for Friday has been canceled in connection with a lawsuit filed by the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver over an engagement ring he allegedly mailed to Brooke Daniels, a former Miss Texas, in February as part of a marriage proposal.

Williams sued Daniels to retrieve the ring, and a hearing was slated for Friday. But court administrator Tina Gurule says the hearing has been canceled and not rescheduled. Gurule could not confirm if the ring, valued at $76,600, had been returned to Williams.

Michael Daniels told the Odessa American he was returning the ring. “I want to wash my hands of it,” he told the paper. “It’s just a hassle. I’ll take care of my daughter. I don’t need him.”

Daniels operates a plumbing company in Tomball, a Houston suburb. A woman who answered the phone there on Thursday said Michael Daniels was not available for comment. The NFL player’s attorney, Craig Gant, did not return a phone message left at his office.

Williams was born in Odessa, Texas, in Ector County, about 350 miles west of Dallas. According to the lawsuit, filed in Ector County District Court on June 30, Brooke Daniels contacted Williams “shortly before Valentine’s Day” and asked for $5,000 for school and dental bills.

Williams sent Daniels the money, a baseball for her brother in an overnight package. He also recorded a marriage proposal and included an engagement ring, the lawsuit said. Daniels declined the proposal and refused to return the ring, the lawsuit said.

Six weeks later, Daniels claimed that the ring was lost, and Williams asked his insurance company to investigate. The insurance company learned that Daniels’ father, Michael, had the ring. The lawsuit said Williams asked for the ring.

But that the Daniels “have refused to surrender possession of it.” The lawsuit also included a request for temporary restraining order that would’ve prevented the Daniels from selling or destroying the ring. The purpose of the canceled hearing was to discuss the restraining order.
