My favorite Thanksgiving side dish: Mashed potatoes
Her favorite Thanksgiving side dish: Sweet potatoes
I sleep better with the window closed
She sleeps better with the window open (except when it is below freezing outside)
When I cook dinner: Carefully monitoring each pot and/or pan as the food cooks
When she cooks dinner: Just throw everything into a crockpot, wait 6-8 hours, then eat
Her in the morning: Nothing happens until she's had coffee and done her yoga
Me in the morning:
 |
| I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! |
My opinion of soup: I don't like food that can't decide if it's solid or liquid
My opinion of Loki: He is the god of mischief and deception - he cannot be trusted. His release will bring about Ragnarok
Her opinion of Loki: He is super duper cool and much smarter and funnier than Thor! (She's been watching too many movies. I fear she's going to leave me for Tom Hiddleston)
Why she's anticipating The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: Eager anticipation over seeing Legolas' lady love and nervous anticipation over the giant spiders
Why I'm anticipating The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: More of the 7th Doctor as Radagast the Brown and rumors that the upcoming Godzilla teaser will be attached to this film
(And because we're both giant nerds, obviously)
My Christmas shopping: 67% complete
Her Christmas shopping: 15% complete
Her favorite Christmas specials/movies: Santa Claus is Coming to Town, It's a Wonderful Life, and The Polar Express
My favorite Christmas specials/movies: A Charlie Brown Christmas (the rehearsal scene between Lucy and Snoopy gets me laughing so hard I cry every time!), Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Die Hard
When I usually watch It's a Wonderful Life: Christmas Eve
When she usually watches It's a Wonderful Life: Last night
Her favorite Christmas song: "The Christmas Song" (nice job on the name, guys. How long did you work on that one?)
My favorite Christmas song: Toss-up between "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" and Bruce Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"
My opinion on the "War on Christmas": I love Christmas, but it dominates this country in every manner possible; overshadowing every other activity, event, or religious holiday during this time of year. There is no threat to Christmas.
Her opinion on the "War on Christmas": Huh?
My opinion of New Year's: Arguably the most important and most celebrated holiday on the planet
Her opinion of New Year's: Meh. No big deal
What she's drinking at holiday parties: Wine and beer - like the adults
What I'm drinking at holiday parties: Sparkling cider - like the kids (It's champagne with no hangover!)
Her least favorite month: January ("Nothing happens in January!")
The month of my birthday: January
And... her side.
ReplyDeleteThe first two are undeniably true. I don't dispute that. As to the rest:
I get up early. Coffee makes me a nice person, yoga makes me an emotionally stable nice person.
Soup is the food of the gods. You can get an entire meal in a single bowl. Plus you can make it out of sweet potatoes :)
I would never leave you for Tom Hiddleston, but Loki is awesome. And whoever Ragnarok is, I bet he's at least kinda awesome too.
I also like The Hobbit for the guy in the funny hat! And Fili and Kili.
My Christmas shopping is nowhere near 15% complete. But it will all be done by Christmas!
As to the Christmas movies... yes, I would never deny that.
I have more important things in my life than Fox News. There, I said it.
Considering that I rarely stay up for New Year's and have only "gone out" on New Year's twice, it really is no big deal.
Beer is sparkling cider with more flavor. And I do drink beer over wine when I have the option.
Things happen in January!!! I forgot!!!
I guess there's no point in using an alias for you in my blog now.
DeleteI was trying to be generous about your Christmas shopping.
FYI - Ragnarok is not a person, it is the Norse version of the end of the world.
