5 Things about Paul
1. In the course of one season, Paul has turned into a basketball FANATIC. I have always said I can allow a man one sport to obsess over, apparently Paul has taken me up on the offer.
2. One time, Paul and I caught a home-makeover show with Clinton Kelly from TLC's What Not to Wear. Paul turned to me and confessed his respect for the man and his work. That night I knew I had the right man because he loves my favorite man of fashion.
(I picked this picture out just for you Paully baby...doesn't our Clinton look dapper)
3. He hates being called at the last minute. It stresses him out. Even for little things, he requires at least 24-hours notice.
4. He loves chess and monopoly. Both games are ones that I promised myself I would never play. Paul is great at having me eat my words.
5. Paul is a recovering idealist. I say recovering because he lives with me who sort of forces a world of hard skepticism on him regularly.
5 Things about Kira
1. I love knowing where phrases came from. I know it won't help me anywhere in the future, but it fits quite well with the rest of the useless information I have floating around upstairs (like how many Americans have genital herpes).
2. My two favorite foods right now can (and will inevitably) kill me. Philly cheesesteaks and mint brownies. Please serve them at my funeral. (
3. I love pretty much all kinds of music, rock, pop, hip-hop, any given decade, even soft rock love songs. I am not, however, a big fan of punk: I can only tolerate high-voiced, screaming boys who are mad at their dads for so long.
On the other hand, if punk music was played out of a huge radio being carried by a man in a tank with a purse, I may just have to enjoy the moment.
4. I think that ice cream is best in a cone. I can rarely learn to trust someone who goes for the cup when given the option between the two.
5. Lately I am starting to look old to myself. Last night Paul and I ordered a bunch of pictures from the last like 3 years, and I look so much older now than I did in the 3 year old pics.
Here is one from summer 2006 where I feel like I look like my age.
Here is one from this past winter with my 14-yr old sis, and I look like her old aunt. Granted the glasses add age, but I can't blame them for everything.
Sorry my posts all look so long lately!

Just seeing you in a tank top, was new for me. You are sexy no matter what. I am getting old as well, I think we are doomed no matter what. Thanks again for dogging us last night, it felt really good!
Shut up. It wasn't me. I kept saying, "Paul, don't you need to go talk to Laura," and he would say, "Just give me a minute."
I tried.
Your blog makes me so happy! I wish you blogged everyday! When are you ditching Ray and Laura and moving to Texas?
How much would rent cost to live in your basement Katrine?
what would I do if you moved to texas??? does katrine have enough room for all of us?
I think so...her house looks pretty big from the pictures.
by the way (where does that phrase originate from... hmm, focus, mike, focus!) like I was saying, by the way, YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE AN AUNT to your sis (even though you are an aunt aren't you?). You still look young. Please girlfriend!!!!!
First of all- how many American's have herpes? Just kidding :)
You are a goddess girl and you will never look old.
And I'm so glad to know that you both love Clinton also...I can't get enough of him on What Not To Wear!
Love your post- it makes me happy.
Clinton Kelly's outfit looks like a flashback to the 80's. In fact, I think I wore something like that in high school. Given the choice between looking like him or the man with the purse, I think I'd choose to look like Paul.
Don't go changing yourself, Paulie, no matter how much sex Kira promises to give you.
Love it! I'm glad you finally did it. and now I know why you've been skeptical of me, because at Cold Stone i ordered the cup...
To clarify: 1 in every 5 Americans suffers from genital herpes. (Actually, that brings up a great way to pass time in long amusement park lines...count every five people and then assume the fifth one has herpes...you can go ahead and judge them too...that is the funnest part.)
All very, very good things to know. And you don't look old. Believe it, know it, live it.
As usual...a wonderful post that puts a fatty smile on my face!
I love the first picture. But I'm still bewildered at Paul's obsession with the NBA.
And you SO do not look old. Just wait until you're a 39 year old grandparent.
No worries...always worth the wait. And I think you are adorable!! My friends and I just had this conversation...I feel like I am still 28, but when I see myself in pictures or someone else my age from high school I think, "Man, we're getting old!"
Kira, I was reading a book by Stephen Colbert (I Am America (And So Can You)), and he said the statistic was 1 in 6. Sorry, but I trust Colbert a little bit more than you.
He didn't said 1 in 6 he said 1 in sex...it is a sexually transmitted disease if you didn't know.
Kira I love your random fact knowledgeness. and I love that paul loves some things decor. Jon does too, we watch HGTV all of the time. All men have a little gay in them...and thats okay.
haha you're goofy!!
