Well Hello There...

So here we are – just two gals who decided to start a blog about the things we love, hate, and love to hate. First on the hate list? The word “gal.” My apologies, and I won’t use it again, unless I am talking about Flo, Alice and Vera at Mel’s Diner, or recounting a story told to me by someone’s grandma. To kick things off, and because really, who DOESN’T like to be interviewed about themselves, we thought we would introduce ourselves to you. After that, it’s anyone’s guess what we may discuss – Oscar fashion recaps, favorite blogs, shopping (durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr), design, who knows what else, but one thing is certain: we will crack ourselves up in the process. Hopefully we’ll entertain a few others too (and if we get a TV show out of it and become bejillionaires, so much the better)…
- Shannan

Merci Blah Blah!!

Q Shannan: So, what do you like best about me, Amy? A
A Amy: Where to start? You are off the charts creative and talented and cool and know what I'm going to say before I say it most of the time. You know exactly what to say to make me laugh and you love my hair.

Q Amy: So, what do you like best about me, Shannan?
A Shannan: Your ability to just meet someone and be completely cool, funny, and put them totally at ease and like you have known them forevah and evahhhhhhh. Plus your TRES chic fashion sense, and puh-leeze, let's not even mention your hair.

Q Amy: How do you manage to look so good with Triplets? Did you make a pact with the debbil and forget to tell me?
A Shannan: Yes, yes I did. Their middle names are Beelzebub, Lucifer, and Damian. Also, I look forward with glee to every Friday and Saturday, when I take Turbokick and Zumba classes. I think you know how I feel about Hip Hop class too. If my gym offered them, I would ROCK DA HOUSE. And thank you for the compliment, but you haven't seen the "loose skin" on my belly lately. There is a good amount of smoke and mirrors going on when I dress.

Q Shannan: How in the world do you do so much good - Operation Shower, stemparties, your "real" job, maintain your sense of humor and STILL look better than everyone else?
A Amy: Uppers and magic powers, but mostly it is the sense of humor that keeps me sane. I also have really awesome friends and family that put up with me not calling or emailing them as often as I should.

Q Amy: What makes you mad?
A Shannan: People who drive slow in the left lane, or don't use their turn signals, or don't know how to merge onto the highway, or who don't use the turning lane to turn left.....I have a lot of drive-time anger, don't I?

Q Shannan: Welllll, what about you? What makes you mad?
A Amy: People who get mad at drivers. Oh, wait. I mean, people who are rude and talk down to people in the service industry. Jerks.

Q Amy: What is your favorite sound?
A Shannan: A good fart. No, seriously - maybe silence when everyone is shhh....asleep, or when the babies are cracking each other up and giggling like mad.

Q Shannan: What is your favorite sound?
A Amy: Rain/Thunderstorms. I know...cliche much?

Q Amy: Which Triplet is your favorite? I keed. Best Christmas present growing up?
A Shannan: Oooooh, two – the Barbie Dream House with the pulley-activated elevator, and the Barbie Camper. That Barbie had a DOPE pad and some serious wheels.

Q Shannan: How DO you do your hair? Seriously. Inquiring minds want to know.
A Amy: First of all, what goes on in is not pretty. Curl. Tease. Smooth. Spray. Repeat until appropriate degree of “effortless coif" is achieved.

Q Amy: Can I have your eyelashes? Then at least can you fly to STL and do my eye makeup every morning?
A Shannan: Certainly, once we become bejillionaires, I would be happy to fly out every morning.

Q Shannan: Were you ready yet to give me that kimono-esque white dress with the giant butterfly sleeves yet?
A Amy: Uh, no.

Lightning Round. GO!

Mayonnaise or Mustard
Shannan: Grey Poupon, but only because it has POUP in the name.

Amy: Mustard. I think you know how I feel about Sperm of Satan aka Mayo.

Stevie Wonder or Stevie Nicks
Shannan: Ooooooh, that's tough. I think ultimately Stevie Nicks, but I do loves me some Superstition by Stevie Wonder.

Amy: I think Stevie Wonder is so cool that Paul knows to ask me "But is it Stevie Wonder cool?" whenever I'm admiring something. The answer is usually, "No way" by the by. And Stevie Nicks is on my least favorite list. I hope we don't break up now.

Three of Your Favorite Songs Evah
Shannan: At Last by Etta James; Against All Odds by Phil Collins; and My Heart Will Go On, by Celine Dion. KIDDING! I HATE Celine Dion. Number three would have to be Clocks by Coldplay

Amy: Fascination Street by The Cure; At Last by Etta James - JINX; Tempted by Squeeze

Coffee or Tea
Shannan: Coffee! Unless of course, we're in Ireland, where they make the best tea EVAH, plus you don't want to be the annoying American ordering coffee.

Amy: Toss up. You know I am caffeine-free so either Decaf Coffee or Decaf Green Tea. All of the flavor, none of the freak.

Dream Vacation Home
Shannan: Yes, please. Oh, I thought you were offering me one. Hmmm.....if I HAD to pick one in the states, it’d be in Laguna Beach.

Amy: I was not. I may have to go with Austin if in the contiguous 48. I still miss Austin. And by "Austin", I mean "breakfast tacos on every corner."

Salty or Sweet
Shannan: Girrrrrrl, you KNOW I have a major sweet toof. I decide what I’m having for dessert before I decide on my entrée when I go out to eat.

Amy: Salty. Oh Chips of Kryptonite. Why do you torture me?

Dream Job:
Shannan: Oooooh, restaurant critic, or Samantha Brown. Girlfriend gets paid to travel the world and stay at the best hotels? Sign me up!

Amy: Event Planner or TV Host on Event Planning with a side of massive amounts of charity work

Top Five List (a la Friends):
Shannan: Well, Jeremy "The Piv" Piven has ALWAYS been on my top five, but he has fallen off as of late, so I'd go with: Paul Rudd, Daniel Craig, Jason Bateman, Colin Farrell (only if he has showered), and Will Ferrell (only if he looked like Colin Farrell)

Amy: I know! The Piv has really taken a hit on my list, too. I'm going with Tom Brady, John Mayer, Bob Harper (we'll pretend he likes girls as long as we're pretending), Lenny Kravitz and Daniel Craig
