knowing me, knowing you #1

A few days ago, Shan over at Tales From the Fairy Blogmother, started a new activity. Once a month she is going to do an "interview" post. I thought it sounded like fun, and decided to join in.



1. Making any New Year's resolutions this year or do you think the whole idea of resolutions is ridiculous?

I don't think the idea of resolutions is ridiculous. BUT, I can't make them because I break them in record time and then feel like an absolute failure. I wish I could, but I can't. I admire people who can stick to them, but there are very few of them! Each school year I make new "resolutions" and goals to better myself professionally, and I'm pretty successful with that. Personal goals, though, I'm pretty lax.




2. Read/Watched anything good?

WAY too much to even begin listing. I read like it's going out of style. Just about anything I can get my hands on. And I don't think my opinion of good movies / television is worth that much. I watch some pretty lame stuff, and I'm completely addicted to reality television. I'm sad that Survivor is over for the season. I'm stuck on reruns of Wife Swap, Antiques Roadshow, SuperNanny and shows like that. I will always watch a rerun of Friends. The only "current" show that is non-reality that I like is NCIS. Oh! I almost forgot about Jon and Kate Plus 8!! I love, love, love that show! (See?? More reality tv!)

3. Blog you can't stop reading.

I love lots of different blogs. I check the ones in my blogroll faithfully, but rarely have time to comment anymore. Just know I love you!

4. George Clooney and Brad Pitt are together on the cover of the French edition of GQ. You can check out the sexiness here. Quick question..... who's hotter?


Hands down, George Clooney. Brad Pitt is too much of a pretty boy. And I don't think he's very smart, either.



5. When it comes to movies do you prefer the theater or dvd?


Theater. I love to watch movies at home in pajamas, curled up in my favorite chair, but I have a heck of a time staying awake. Just ask J. It drives him crazy when I fall asleep during a movie. But he likes to watch movies at night. I can't do it. If he got up early in the morning with me, I can stay awake then...but it's just not going to happen at night. In the theater, however, I think I have only fallen asleep twice. Once at Contact, that Jodi Foster movie that was horrible. (Sorry if you like it.) I met my cousin and his girlfriend there, and it was late. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. And that was when I was a teenager and never went to bed early. The other time was the day after we got married and J and I took my sister T and her friend Michael out to dinner and a movie to thank Michael for his calming presence and going way above and beyond the call of duty on my wedding day. He's my sister's friend, but he got in my car and drove across town to pick me up from the hairdresser, and then played chauffer to the wedding for me. And he did it just because he was hanging out at the house and wanted to be helpful. He was super sweet and I wanted to thank him. Some thanks that turned out to be. KFC and Pirates of the Carribbean...and I slept through most of it.


Another reason I prefer the theater is that in this tiny town I live in, there is very little available in the way of entertainment. The whole city shuts down by 9 p.m. Except the fast food places and Wal-Mart. Even Safeway is not 24 hours here... If there isn't a sporting event at the high school, or a play at the high school, there's not a lot to do. So we go to movies.




So there we have the first "Knowing Me, Knowing You" installment. Thanks Shan! If you want to play along, visit Shan's blog for directions.
