Yesterday Jim and I celebrated our 1 year and 5 months anniversary. Dopey, I know, but oh well. In recongnition of this date, I decided to give you a deeper look into the man we all know as James. One could say he is a bit of a mystery. He never seems to talk and you can't be sure what he his thinking. In general no onew really knows much about him. So here is a list of 25 things about Jim. Hopefully it will shed a little light and you will be able to get to know him the way I do. Here we go:
1) He does the laundry every week without being asked. Since we have lived together, I have probably done maybe 5 loads at the most, and usually that was because he was out of town.
2) He can cook the best roast. It's always tender and juicy. I'm not sure how he does it, but he is fantastic at it.
3) He loves time travel movies. Back to the Future, Planet of the Apes, and Mysterious Island are some of his favorites.
4) He really can Name that Tune in one note!
5) He treats his wardrobe as if it were a baseball team.
6) He used to represent the Green Party at Town Hall meetings.
7) Yes, he does talk to me on a regular basis.
8) He doesn't really like sweets that much.
9) He adores Starwberry and Chocolate Chip ice cream.
10) He will sit and study a Map for hours at a time.
11) He will read a travel book cover to cover the way I would read a novel.
12) Dates! Oh my gosh! He can remember every date of everything he has ever done. It is incredible.
13) He has worked for Progressive insurance since he was 18. He is now 29.
14) History has always fascinated him.
15) Who needs a newspaper, Jim is always up-to-date on all current events. You can ask him about the war in Iraq, or the last on Lindsay Lohan and he will know the answer.
16) He prefers not to use my name when he talks to me. Instead I am refered to as "cupcake soup" or "Mother Crumpett." I'm really not sure where he gets some of these.
17) A great deal of his vocabulary is made up from "Seinfeld" and "Leave it to Beaver".
18) He channel surfs way too much.
19) When he was a kid, he was an all-star pitcher in Little League.
20) He has quite the temper. It usually comes as fast as it goes.
21) He once threaten to kill the guy taking his bet at a Tahoe casino. Apparently the guy enetered it in wrong. When Jim told him, the guy refused to change it. In the end it got changed, and thankfully Jim did not wind up in jail.
22) His laugh is contagious.
23) He gets along great with my mom and dad.
24) He is way smarted than I am.
25) He would have no problem staying home with the kids while I worked.
So there you have it. Twenty-five things you may not have known about Jim. So hopefully the next time you see him you will feel like you know him just a little bit better.

A very nice tribute. Except I know him as Jimmy.
Morgan, I've got to say this since you were so enamoured of the spell checker function... I don't think you're using it.
Maybe I'm not using it right? I click on it and then it says done spell checking. So I figured I was spelling things right. Guess I'll have to figure out what's going wrong.
that was great. I didn't know hardly any of those things. I like him even better now (though capturing that black widdow for me on the 4th of July made him jump to the top of my list pretty quick). He's a great catch there sister!
I'm not so sure about the nicknames though. "Cupcake Soup?" Hmmmm. There's gotta be something mean I can do with that info.
