Did I Hear a Niner in There?

I'm at a total supreme black hole-esque loss regarding the topic of this blog. I was thinking about coming up with something fun to commemorate our ninth anniversary, which is tomorrow. 

I don't want to be too sappy. Because B and I aren't exactly sappy people.

But quoting a bunch of lines from "Anchorman" or "The Office" doesn't necessarily seem appropriate either. 

Pictures seemed like a good idea to post, but I honestly have no idea where any photos circa 1999 might be. I can narrow it down to the general vicinity of the basement, but that doesn't really put a dent in the exact location.

My guess is that they're packed in a box with B's "Wayne's World" wig, some Legos, and a few favorite Happy Meal toys.

Summer 200?

So I am going to take a true journalistic view and interview B to see what he's thought of the first nine years of marriage. 

And maybe some other topics that come to mind.

I will probably pull more from the "other topics" category than from the marriage category. 

Just because.

N: Who is your favorite celebrity couple and what can we do to be more like them?

B: I would say Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Because we don't have nearly enough tattoos. Or children. Or expensive vacations. Or homes in France. But we're 50% of the way to greatness because we have the same name.

N: I know you're an avid reader. If you can narrow down the list, what are the Top 10 best books you've read so far this year?

B: I'm reading Sports Illustrated right now. Does that count? I'm o-fer on books this year. And last year. But I'm an expert at the History Channel and Discovery Channel. And John Cusack movies.

N: Do you feel a lot of pressure to make our tenth anniversary next year an out-of-this-world experience that we'll never forget?

B: No.

N: What is the biggest material sacrifice you've made since getting married?

B: Probably going to the gym. Since you're not into fitness, I've had to give up my chiseled physique.

N: That's ok. You just wish you could fake tan and shave your whole body to show off the muscles.

N: I know I am a little obsessed with food. What are your food obsessions?

B: Deli sandwiches and pizza. And cereal.

N: Any reasons why?

B: There's a lot of variety between those three genres. I could eat a variation at each meal and never get tired of them. 

N: Who is the Video Game Grand Master Champion of Awesomeness in our Family?

B: You are.

N: ME?! For real?! Thank you very much. I'm humbled! Especially considering I don't play much.

Ok folks, I think that's it. It's really hard to make up questions for someone you've known since the first grade. B is truly one of the funniest people ever, but his talents are best suited to musical impressions and sight gags. And comedy dancing.

You'll have to come to a wedding with us sometime.

We promise not to dress like this:

Halloween 2006

I am serious. That was Halloween. Not our actual prom.

Although I did wear that exact dress to Turnabout in 1992. I am appalled that B's arm is covering the rhinestone bow.

(But please notice my Swatch.)

So to celebrate this momentous occasion, we're going to have some barbeque, watch a movie, and buy each other some new Nalgene water bottles.

(I may have lost both of ours at the gym. Within a week. The same week in which--ironically--I spilled an entire water bottle on my cell phone.)

Ah, young love.

Or middle-aged love.

Whatever. Let's go eat barbeque.
