[The Dream Date series continues with Hillary from Two L's Please!]
9:00am – Convince Hillary to make breakfast for me with the offer of keeping Stella occupied.
10:00am – Hillary wonders when I’d stop playing with Stella and start playing with her.
11:00am – Hillary finishes eating, cleaning up after and digesting breakfast with still no love from Ben. Stella, on the other hand, is overjoyed.
12:00pm – Hillary boards her plane back to BC, leaving Stella and Ben for dead.
1:00pm – Ben and Stella are very happy together. Hillary? Is not.

Soooo I've been wanting to have a Christmas movie night with my boy because snuggling on the couch with him is way more wonderful than trying to force Lucy to snuggle. (She turns her nose up.) And he tells me last night that he doesn't do Christmas movies. Umm… what?!
So, basically, you and/or the Newf should come down here and have a Christmas movie night with me since my boy won't. … Can we make that happen?
Bayjb That was pretty much how that went.
Kyla: YES.
Kristen: It wouldn't have taken much of a rewrite to have one either…
Andy: You'll thank me. Later.
Tia: We have and we will. Wait what?
i would live out all of these dates with you if my dream was real.
you know what i'm talking about.
I've tried to combine some of your suggestions in my Feliz Navidad night. I still have to do the Christmas Light drive, and the gf and I are going to do our new tradition, as well- eat Chinese on Christmas Eve.
PS:Their gingerbread house is too perfect. I do not like them.
Oh lord, Mister is also Sheldon.
I don't know what to suggest, other than skyping an eggnog shots contest. I think it would help with the pain, no?
Holy shit, I cannot imagine putting up a tree drunk. I would quit halfway through to pass out and leave ornaments on the floor. Not good
super small town! that super lovely girl in the coupley blog is named susan. she worked at service canada with me years ago. oddddd… they were engaged then. good to know love still keeps attractive people together.
When the Mormons come to call, you should answer the door in a red leather banana hammock, while licking a chocolate popsicle. It will do one of two things. Chase them away forever or make you a regular on their “things to do” list….I tried this w/the Jehovah's Witnesses that regularly came to my door, except it was in tassels and a thong. They kept coming back until my husband got tired of me showing off the goods to complete strangers and yelled the eff word a lot.
you are really funny! xD

OOoh … I'm totally diggin on the idea of starter night. AND I'm also going to SYTYCD … the american one that is.
God bless high kicks and wicked leaps! (is it 12 lords a leaping?)
have holiday fun and cheer!
gingerbread haus of gaga?? um love this. please take pictures, haha.
we're doing this too…minus the Big Bang Theory because I'm not sure what that is…plus I'm making peter do crafts.
I still love that song by Lady Gaga.
It's not a holiday until a pizza guy gets rickrolled.
I forced my sis to do the christmas movie night including “Love Actually” last Saturday night. It was awesome. Plus it always reminds me of our imaginary “dream date” . . .
I LOVE the starter date. I say you do that year round, not JUST for christmas. Or at least do that every other night.
And you should watch this video on mute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sUL0KCIc48
When I thought of you and your puppies bounding through the snow, this is what I thought of.
If there's a time of the year that being not sober is acceptable, it's definitely the christmas holiday. I mean, duh, I'll go order appetizer and more cocktails with you anytime!
Ps. I clicked the link to the “happy couple” blog you put up there, and I wanna doze off. You keep it real, Ben.
How about you do a follow-up of Things to do if You're Single? i.e. get sloshed on eggnog, cry yourself to sleep, etc
I'll join you for #9
That starter night one is genius. Putting it on my to do list now!
And you will totally be snogged while looking at holiday lights. That is the only proper way to do it. Duh.
Have fun! Although I know you will!
umm…gin is always your friend
You could spike your eggnog before serving it to the Mormons? Good times will be had by all.
God, I hope the Mormons show up. More for my entertainment than yours, you understand.
Also, how could you leave 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' and 'Charlie Brown's Christmas' off that list? In my head this indicates your parents secretly hated you when you were a child and never showed you the best cartoons!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for being one of the few people in the world who remembers A Muppet Family Christmas! We video taped it off TV back in 1989 and watch it every year! I'm partial to the “pass it on” song!
There is A LOT of alcohol involved in your holidays. As an ex-Mormon I look down my nose at you for drinking on Jesus' fake birthday. Also, since you love TBBT, you should know that I am dating Sheldon. I even bought him a “gravity, thou art a heartless bitch” t-shirt. Also, I grew up on the border, which makes me 1/2 Canadian, no? Also, I have the hookup to send hot Mormons to your door on the regular).
You obviously can't have a Christmas movie night without A Christmas Story. CLASSIC!!!!!!
What? You don't just romantically end up doing these things spontaneously? You have to PLAN them? No wonder I'm not getting laid.
Your friend Gin is what's going to get me through the next 22 days. True story.
Ben…
You cant stay mad at me.
and if by some chance you CAN stay mad at me? I will buy your friend ship with chocolates and lattes. Im not above doing that.
Ok listen. If the Newf, at any time, refuses to do one of these dates, I'm SO in. I will totally bring you the hollandaise, and my boy can hang with the Newf and they can talk about some science bullshit or something.
My brother in law has taken a page from The Newf's book and befriended a group of Mormons in their town too. My sister is reacting much like you.
But with more (almost)muffled cackling.
So my morbid curiosity drove me to the “Things to Do for Two” blog where I note they have been “happily married for three years”…my prediction is that this blog morphs into “how to divide our possessions into two”. Not that I'm bitter.
