Random Tidbits

I thought it would be fun to mention some random tidbits about me and Paul.  So without further adieu, here we go!

1.  Paul has THE most contagious laugh anyone has ever heard.  One of my friends told me that when she's having a hard day, she just thinks of Paul's laugh and she is instantly doing better.  You can't help but join in when he's laughing.  This is not a good thing when we are somewhere we are supposed to be quiet (or reverent), and something funny happens.  He does not do a good job at silent laughter.  Picture our whole row at church just shaking from laughter.  Talk about disruptive!

2.  I am THE clumsiest person ever!  It started waaaaaaaay back when I was a teenager and has never left me.  From running down the school steps in my cheerleading uniform and lying in a pile at the bottom of the stairs with scrapes all over my legs, to running through the halls at school and running into the pole in the middle of the hallway, I can trip over absolutely nothing!  I have learned to control the falling and end up doing the "What?  Of course I meant to start running for no reason" walk.  People, this is embarrassing.

3.  Paul and I love "NBC Comedy Thursday".  We look forward to it every week.  We love us some Liz Lemon, Dwight Shrute, and Leslie Knope.  Especially Leslie Knope.   We can't get enough!  We always DVR the shows because we know we will have to pause numerous times since we are laughing so hard.  Best part of the week.  Humor makes life better!

4.  I secretly want to host "E! News Live" (guess it's not really a secret anymore).  To me, that is the dream job. Watch out Giuliana Ranic!  If I'm ever in LA, I just might audition.  If only.........

5.  Paul loves singing:  anytime, anywhere.  He makes up little jingles and is constantly asking me, "Did you record that?  That was really good!  Do you think that company would want to buy that?".  I just look at him and hold out my empty hands and ask, "Um, what would I be recording with?".  And yet, he never stops asking.  He also loves singing in the shower.  He likes to "recreate" songs.  Not create, but recreate.  This means taking 2, 3, or 4 songs and mixing them all together into one major song.  Sometimes it means taking lyrics from one song and singing them to another tune.  To sum up:  Paul loves singing.

That's it for now!  I don't want to throw out too many random tidbits at one time.  It could be overwhelming! :)

The Perfect Meatloaf

 As mentioned in previous posts, Paul loves buying anything "As Seen On TV".  His request for Christmas this year was the Perfect Meatloaf pan.  I was slightly confused by this, since we've made meatloaf exactly ONE time since we've been married (and it was a disaster).  But I complied with his request and Boom!  Perfect Meatloaf pan for Christmas.  We invited some friends over for dinner last week and decided to try it out.  We made a huge event out of it, even deciding to photograph every step from completion.  (I think by making fun of the fact we made meatloaf, it made it ok to eat it :)).  We went with the Italian Meatloaf (did you know there are different kinds!???).  I was pleasantly surprised.  The Perfect Meatloaf actually lived up to it's hype. :)  Even though it looks kind of disgusting (meatloaf doesn't photograph well, people), it was actually pretty good.  It seems as though there may be more meatloaf in our future.  Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf, you're next!



 Disclaimer:  Seriously, meatloaf?  I just wrote a post about meatloaf?  Whatev's.  :)
