Re: It's Monday, It's slow, It's POLL TIME!
1. What is your favorite color? and why...
Blue, it's the color of the ocean, the sky, and my eyes.
2. Describe the perfect birthday.
Wake and bake, breakfast in bed, day trip to (amusement park, zoo, museum) nap, then BBQ in my celebration (lol) and lots of drinks! This is what I would do if I was in town, ideally I'd like to go on vacation.
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever)
Web: Cyanide & Happiness
Newspaper: Zits
Hero: Batman
4. What is your typical clothes style?
Jeans and Tshirt. I'm all about the comfort, but I do enjoy dressing up.
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope?
Eff having a wedding and planning it, I'd elope in a heartbeat.
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US)
Portland, OR
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal?
Clean
1. What is your favorite color? and why... burnt orange. It's my favorite school's color, it's the color of a beautiful sunset and is vibrant.
2. Describe the perfect birthday. Mary, vodka, friends, Italian food, tiramisu
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever) I guess the XMen, but that's mostly based on the movies.
4. What is your typical clothes style? comfortable but cute
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope? IDK, that's a good one. I would have changed some things about the wedding we did have, but I can see the appeal to eloping.
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US) Probably Barcelona, Spain. It has mountains, beaches, siestas, no open container laws, great food and drinks, and easy access to the rest of Europe.
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal? I'd rather do the cooking, most days.
1. What is your favorite color? and why...Blue, but no real reason why
2. Describe the perfect birthday. Hanging out at home with H, watching movies, and eating my mom's Beef Pie Supreme
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever) I don't read them often, but I used to love Garfield and Zits (I think that's what it's called)
4. What is your typical clothes style? Casual, boring. Mostly just jeans, tank top, and flip-flops
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope? Elope, DW somewhere tropical
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US) H and I have talked about one day moving to CA, but no city in particular.
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal? Cook the meal - especially if the mess is like when H cooks. Because the kitchen is a disaster after that and I don't enjoy the cleanup
Yeah, my H isn't too bad when it come to splattering stuff or spilling things, but he has a knack for charring the bottom of the pan all the time. It's like he doesn't grind the bottom of the pan with the spatula enough when he's flipping/stirring the food and I feel like I am scrubbing like a mad woman to clean it up. I hate that!!
Oh, my H is a spiller and splatterer. Crap goes everywhere. And he uses every pot, pan, and utensil in the kitchen. But on the plus side, he cooks some damn good meals.
1. Liz Green (which is kind of a kiwi green). It makes me happy and is named after me.
2. A surprise party with good food and lots of friends
3. I always liked The Far Side. More recently, xkcd cracks me up fairly often
4. I never know quite how to describe it. Sort of casualretrofunkyclassicwhimsical
5. Wedding like I had
6. If not Chicago, probably Portland, OR, or Sydney, Australia
7. Cook
My blog: The Lizard Chronicles
Check out What's on Liz's Head
I wish my H cooked lol. But I think he would be like your H, Ses...making a mess everywhere. But he's very clean at the same time.
This is my H. I also am a failure at cooking.
1. What is your favorite color? and why...
Amongst other awesome green things.
Green. I grew up in a city that was basically dropped into a rainforest, and it reminds me of home...
2. Describe the perfect birthday.
Lazy morning, with good breakfast. Maybe a massage and some hanging out during the day, and then either going out to dinner somewhere fun like a brewery, or drinks and dancing.
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever)
Cyanide and Happiness. (web) Get Fuzzy (newspaper)
4. What is your typical clothes style?
Cute. Comfy. Today I've got on skinny jeans with cable knit boots, a striped sweater under a peacoat and pretty knit scarf.
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope?
We never got as far as getting married... but if I ever do, I would have a wedding, but small. Just close family and friends, pretty vintage touches and cupcakes!
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US)
If I moved it would be to Fort Collins, CO or very possibly Seattle. I love the PacNW cause it's where I grew up, but I'm giving Utah a chance on my own before I pick up and run away.
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal?
Cook. I don't mind cleaning, but I love cooking and trying new dishes.
1. What is your favorite color? and why...
Orange, because it makes me happy.
2. Describe the perfect birthday.
Sitting on a beach, in the sun, pretty drink in my hand and watching the waves. Preferably with H, but by myself would be fine, too.
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever)
Hmm... I'm not much into comics, but when I was a kid, the Cathy comic was the one I always read first.
4. What is your typical clothes style?
At home, I am always ALWAYS in fleece or flannel pj pants and a soft tshirt. Out of the house, I'm more dark jeans, boots, and a colorful or black dressy shirt.
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope?
My wedding was perfect. Just our parents and siblings for a ceremony, long-table dinner (family-style) and some sparklers. The place we got married is closed now, but it overlooked the university we went to and the Appalachian mountains.
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US)
I would love love love to live in Charleston, SC. Any small town by the ocean would actually be fine, but I love the old southern feel of Charleston.
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal?
Cook the meal, for sure.
1. What is your favorite color? and why... Blue, because it makes me feel calm and serene.

5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope? I would say elope like we wanted to in the first place, but since dad is goine, I would do it exactly the same so he could walk me down the isle and I could dance with him all over again.
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US) I'd really like to spend a few years in London. I'm very attracted to it for some reason.
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal? Clean the mess, cuz that's how it works at my house anyway.
1. What is your favorite color? and why...
I honestly don't have a fav color. Don't want to be biased.
2. Describe the perfect birthday.
Exercise class in the morning with just friends. Mani and Pedi. Gameworks or Dave and Busters. End off with some clubbing. Would love to make it a weekend too filled with surprises.
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever)
Boondocks comics. Hero- Jean Grey (she is every woman) from X men.
4. What is your typical clothes style?
It varies. Recently, I have been getting out of the clean and classic and hitting up the boho chic. Nothing says great style like a scarf that you make yourself, a funky natural hairstyle, a long skirt, and a chunky hand knitted sweater.
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope?
The wedding I had was an elopement. I would have more people with us in Mexico so we could party harder than we already did.
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US)
Not sure. I want to say San Fran, Seattle, Boston or Portland. But, I love Chicago!!!!
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal?
Most likely cook the meal. I could clean the mess too but you have got to give me some booty shaking music to make the time pass.

Purple because I look best in purple
2. Describe the perfect birthday.
Doing something fun like a show and then dinner.
3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever)

Casual except for work
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope?
I'd have a wedding like I had with a few less people in it. We had an amazing wedding and a great party. I could have dealt without the bridal party drama.
6. If you could live in any city, which one would it be (does not have to be in the US)
I have always wanted to live somewhere in California. Not sure what city though
7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal?
Cook! the worst part of cooking is the clean up.
This is my husband as well. He successfully started one of the drip pans on fire last night. I was less than pleased.
1. What is your favorite color? and why... My favorite color seems to change often. Right now I'm loving deep purple. I just think it's pretty.

3. Favorite comic (web, newspaper, hero, whatever) Peanuts
4. What is your typical clothes style? Slob? lol. If I'm going somewhere I tend to dress casual -- jeans, blouse, boots. I'm not a fashionista but I try to dress decent...when I have to.
5. If you could do it over would you have a wedding (like you had) or elope? Although it was stressful, I loved our wedding. I'd keep it the same.

7. Would you rather cook the meal, or clean up the mess made from the meal? Cook. I despise doing dishes.
