I don't like picking favorites. Since dating Colt he has always wanted to know what my favorites are. His original argument for needing to know was..." How will we ever win the Newly Wed Game if I don't know your favorites?" This is no longer as issue since we won a newly wed show on the cruise last February. Since marring Colt one of the changes to married life has been being willing to pick favorites. They may not be true but I have to have them just the same. For some reason I hate to do this. Why can't I have several favorites? To make Colt happy I have conceded to have a few all time favorites. My favorite food is macaroni and cheese. This may sound a little juvenile especially to those of you who know what a foodie family I am from and what a foodie family Colt and I are now. What can I say just I love it. I don't mean that stuff from a box with neon orange cheese (powder) I mean good homemade cheesy strings between the noodles (that is the key) mac and cheese. Apparently my favorite color is teal. Really any shade that is a mix between blue and green. Every time I go shopping with my friends anything that is teal invokes a comment like "they have it in your color." Recently I was confronted by Colt and Jodie (his mom for those of you who don't know) for only wearing 4 colors of shirt black, brown, teal and mauve. I have expanded my wardrobe palette somewhat but I still lean on my stable colors. Anyway back to favorites. Colt and I love watching movies and it bothers him I don't have a favorite actor or actress. One day we were watching a movie and he said "You must be really happy your favorite actress is in this." "Oh" I said "who?" " Cate Blanchett I decided that since you don't have favorites I am going to pick for you. Mark Wahlberg is you favorite actor by the way."

Cate Blanchett my "favorite" actress
Having Colt pick my favorites really does make is easier. No more long drawn out battles in my mind desperately trying to weigh the pros and cons in order to pick a favorite. Now all I have to do is ask him. It has become a fun game ( like on car trips) I like to ask obscure questions like who is my favorite dead historical world leader. It is nice to know I can have these choices made for me. I do have one favorite that I always know without a question and as cheesy as it might sound it is Colt. So if it makes my favorite happy to pick favorites for me then I say by all means go ahead.

This does make me totally sound like someone that Maggie's Psychology of Women class would use a case study or tackling\self defense beat-up dummy. It really is a game, I am a feminist man.

and in case your wondering I picked your favorite car/truck hybrid vehicle it is the 1985 Subaru Brat (teal of course) your favorite thing to do with this car is rally it through an extensive off road course in your favorite desert the Mojave
You two are our favorite non-obscure couple that live in sugarhouse !!
I think maybe your favorite state of mind is having not one, but two trips to Disneyland on the agenda. At least it is one of your favorite states of mind. . .
Sparky got in the pool all by himself last night. Well he got on the shamu shelf by himself and I drug him in and he was only slightly terrified this time!
