friday high five - my list

There have been some intense negotiations going on via facebook recently. You see even though The Mommy Project has been right across the road for 5 years or so I had no idea she even existed for the first three. Then the kids start school and our girls turn out to be BFF's which led to an email to set up a playdate, which led to her finding my blog which led to us finding out that we have a whole heck of a lot in common and that led to a family party invite and that led to a Papa pop in. And now her whole family has been embraced by my whole family. Yep, she's one of us now. And now back to my original point, which is we have a lot in common. Like we both want to open diners or bakeries or cupcake shops or diners that are bakeries as well. Or how we both thought, independently, that an indoor play park in the industrial park near our town would be a great idea. We both had this idea years ago, before we even met and told our husbands about it. I can't speak for Mr. The Mommy Project, but I know Mike thought it would never fly. I would like to point out in the past year two have opened up there to booming business.

Now to get to the meat of the post -- The List. I am assuming you are aware of the list? The five celebrities you can have on your list that are "freebies"? Meaning, should the opportunity arise you are free to hook up with them. Not surprisingly, The Mommy Project and I had very similar lists. In fact her "laminated list" could very well be mine with one small exception. Sorry Mommy Project, Dennis Leary is all yours. I will, however, arm wrestle you for John Cusack, Vince Vaughn, Hugh Jackman or Stephen Colbert.

See the issue? Boys are coming between us already. So we've been doing to civilized thing and negotiating who gets who. I'm still not quite sure how I managed to lose Vince Vaughn because I have loved him since Swingers, but the Mommy Project is so money, I'm willing to overlook it. Plus she did offer me Owen AND Luke Wilson as a trade. With the trade deadline passed (without a firm decision about former Maple Leaf Gary Roberts I might add) I figured it was time to update my list.

So for my first Friday High Five, (hosted by Angela's Adventures and Minor Mishaps) here it is in all it's laminated glory -- My List.

In no particular order, of course.

1. Owen AND Luke Wilson. I get both in exchange for Vince Vaughn, which is a pretty solid trade in my books. It's hard to say who I love more. And yes I'm aware Owen has a messed up nose. I like it. Oh yes I do. I've seen all his movies -- including DrillBit Taylor. Although my favourites are any with him and Ben Stiller together. Luke Wilson I fell in love with after Old School. The Godfather -- how could you not love him? Plus he was hanging with Vince Vaughn. They're all friendly so TMP and I could totally double date.

2. Tim McGraw. He is hawt y'all. His song My Little Girl, makes me weep every time. And he looks damn fine in that cowboy hat.

3. Paul Rudd. So the rest of the world may just be finding out about him, but I loved him ever since he became Phoebe's boyfriend on Friends. He is that perfect funny/smart combination.

4. Patrick Dempsey. I only started watching Grey's last season, but I have no idea why I waited so long. And what is it about that hair? I will admit to watching Enchanted with Abby many many times. Abby actually even tells people that he is my boyfriend. I just burned Made of Honour last night and fully intend to watch it while folding clothes this afternoon.

5. Maks from Dancing With The Stars. Another show the whole world was watching before I was. Have you seen him dance? Those hips are lethal. And that smile, that is one lady killer smile he has right there.

And on my reserve list. You know in case something happens and those on the laminated list are unable to preform their duties...

Eric Dane (McSteamy from Grey's)
Seth Rogen (what can I say, funny is very sexy)
Adrian Grenier (from Entourage)
Jeremy Piven (since he was on Ellen's sitcom)
Ben Stiller (yeah I like to keep it in the comedic family)

Who's on your list?
