    It's that time again! Post 'em if you got 'em!

    1. I effing HATE summer. Every year, I hate it more. I am a miserable mess today because it's 102 degrees outside. We got 70 inches of snow this past summer and I am remembering it fondly today. Sigh.
    2. I've been on a major cheeseburger kick lately. I think I'd eat one every day if I could do it without gaining a zillion pounds and developing major heart disease. Boy, do I love cheeseburgers.
    3. I am currently in the beginning stages of planning a trip with a friend of mine. We're planning on going to the Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios Orlando. I swore I'd never, ever go to another theme park ever again (can't stand the crowds) but my nerdiness is winning out over my hatred of people.
    4. Speaking of vacation, my little sister lives in Europe and I haven't been to visit her in years. I always get mad at myself when I think that I have a free place to stay in the Netherlands, just a quick train ride from Amsterdam, and I haven't gone in forever. She comes to the states to visit a lot, so it's not like I don't get to see her, but still.
    5. I'm stoked because, next month, I'm finally getting my website redesigned. Actually, Mrs. Cupcake and her company are doing it for me. I've been wanting to do it for so long, and their price was right. I can't wait to have a professional, clean-looking site.
    6. The thing that grosses me out most of all is mucus/snot/phlegm. Just thinking about it makes me gag. I'd rrather see a giant turd on the ground than see someone hock a loogey on the sidewalk. EWWWW!!!
    7. My favorite websites are Dlisted and Go Fug Yourself. I check them about ten times a day.
    8. I shop online too much. Almost every day, a package comes to work for me. It's almost embarrassing.
    9. I love almost every color except for sage green and pink. And, actually, I'm okay with very pale blush pink or magenta/raspberry. But anything in between? No thankee.
    10. I am 9 months smoke-free this month, which is a big deal for me. But I've replaced my cigarette addiction with a Coke Zero addiction. I'd drink five of them a day if I didn't stop myself. As it is, it's hard to only drink one or two a day.

    1. I love Madonna.  I always have and I always will.  I own (and like) every one of her CD's, including American Life.  The first time I saw her live, a giant disco ball descended to the stage from the ceiling, and she emerged.  I almost cried.

    2. I just cut off 7 inches of my hair last week and I hate it and am in shock. I feel so plain, so boring, so nondescript right now.  Plus, it doesn't look good with any of my clothes.  I've been wearing a lot of pants because I feel like I look infantile when I wear a dress now.

    3. I hate exposed bra straps and cringe when I see them.  Is this a style thing or just laziness?  I just don't understand the whole not wearing proper undergarments.  I have big boobs and can't wear spaghetti straps, so I just don't.  I don't say eff it and wear them with a normal bra and let my straps hang out. 

    4. I wish I was a good singer because karaoke looks fun.

    5.  I am currently battling a Cheez-Its addiction.

    6.  I recently bought a Marc Jacobs bag and it's the love of my life and I understand why people go so crazy for designer bags.  It's so soft, smells so good, I want to wear it every day, and strangers stop me on the street about it.  A girl at a bar asked if she could smell it.  We're going to be together a long time, me and Marc.

    7. My sister and my best friend are always on my case to "dress sexy".  Me being sexy is hilarious.  I'm cute and have a decent body, but I will never, ever be the kind of person who wears miniskirts or shows cleavage or wears stilettos.  Give me a poufy dress over "body conscious" anyday.

    8.  I'm really, really liking bands with keyboards lately and bands that sound 80's ish.  I've got MGMT and Passion Pit on repeat all the time. 

    9.  I like to run.  I'n doing a 5K on Thursday.

    10. I feel silly posting on Weddingbee now that my wedding is over.

    Miss Chapstick    September 2009  

    1. I love pie.

    2. My husband and I are doing an anniversary shoot for our one-year anniversary. At first, we felt totally self-indulgent, but now we're super excited about it.

    3. I still eat Mac & Cheese from a box. And love it.

    4. I need to eat every four hours or I get mean. Like, really mean. My husband avoids it all costs by packing snacks for me anytime we leave the house because he says I turn into a scary monster :)

    5. My husband and I are planning a trip to Mexico next winter, and I'm already planning outfits to wear.

    6. I hate bars. I avoid them at all costs past 9 p.m.

    7. During the entire month of my birthday, I buy myself stuff that isn't technically in the budget because "it's my birthday soon, and I deserve it!" It's a free-for-all month for me :)

    8. I want to adopt kids, and have no interest in having a biological child for some reason (although, I would be fine with it if I got knocked up).

    9. I'm always planning something, be it a birthday party, or our future housewarming party that won't happen until five years down the line.

    10. I will always need to have a dog in my life. They truly add something to our family that I can't live without.

    2. I am the QUEEN procrastinator, I can avoid an assignment for days and days just on WB hehe

    3. Sometimes I don't get out of my PJ's (I study from home extramurally while FH is at work)

    4. I too have an online shopping obsession, Amazon sales anyone?

    5. I have not read 'for pleasure' (read: not a coursebook) ALL YEAR - and I'm studying to be an English teacher hahaha

    6. I sing when Britney comes on to the radio, but will deny it to the death.

    7. I am 26 and still call my Mum almost everyday!

    8. I can eat a family block of chocolate in one go. Easy.

    9. A friend I used to work with (at highschool) and I had a tally/competition about who made the most boys cry. We'd brag about it at work. (Try and tell me teenage girls aren't EVIL)

    10. Need a haircut.

    1.  I'm a jersey girl and I LOVE the beach.  I went to college with girls that totally remind me of Snookie... these people DO exist!

    2.  I relocated to Maryland a few years ago and really don't understand the whole Chesapeake Bay thing.  I don't really like motor boats, I don't like picking crabs.  I don't understand these people who have "shore" houses but they are on the bay, not the beach.  I think this hurts my FI's feelings, but I just don't get it!

    3.  I don't like having to "work a room" or talk to large groups of people, but have no problem with giving speeches or having large groups of people watch me dance, walk down the aisle etc.

    4.  I love Led Zeppelin!  Also love Biggie!  I like every type of music except for modern country.

    5.  I love music, but don't really care for concerts.

    6.  I hate orange flavored candy.

    7.  Lateness is one of my pet peeves.

    8.  I get super cranky when I'm hungry.

    9.  Every time I plan a trip, even a weekend getaway an hour away, I obsessively plan and research on TripAdvsior, for like months.

    10.  My first car was a white plymouth "duster" with pink trim

    1. My friend and I watched The Exorcist when we were 13 and home alone at her place. We screamed so much that her neighbors called the cops to come check on us and make sure we were ok. Yeah, that was embarrassing.

    2. I don’t trust people who don’t have any books in their home.

    3. I once saved a dog off the side of Interstate 95 in South Carolina. He had clearly just been dumped to fend for himself (obv. starving), and there was no way I was leaving him to get hit by a car.

    4.  I know the President of Iran is a bad guy, but I secretly find him intensely handsome. I wish I didn’t, but I just can’t help it!

    5. My tailbone is fused to my lowest vertebrae. It doesn’t cause me problems by itself, however, it makes all the spaces between my vertebraes off kilter, which causes problems.

    6. I love toast like nobody’s business.

    7. It annoys me when people say they wish they could have lived in the 40’s “because the clothes were so great”. I want to ask “and how do you think coming off the Great Depression and a pesky WORLD WAR would work out for you?” but I just bite my tongue and nod.

    8. I’m extremely particular about socks. If they bunch up around my toes or feel weird, I feel totally claustrophobic and get all freaked out. I hate wearing socks. I don't care how ugly people think Uggs are, I love them because they mean a winter without socks!

    9. I still have not seen Avatar, and I don’t plan to.

    10. I was, or rather, my legs were, once in a commercial for some sort of snake oil diet pills. They were the skinny “after-the-pill” legs, jumping into a pair of jeans.

    heathaah    September 2009  

    Ok, I haven't done one of these yet...I will play...

    1. I have a fear of creamy white foods.  Like, a strange phobia.  I will not eat (or go near) cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream of anything soup, plain yogurt, alfredo sauce, whipped cream, ranch dressing....the list goes on!  I gag thinking about it.

    2.  I have three dogs and a cat, and cannot imagine my life with fewer furbabies!  All of our dogs have people names...Dillon, Emily, and Lucy.  The cat is Princess.

    3.  I love board games and get really competative with them.  Scrabble and Monopoly are my favs at the moment.  And if you are looking for a quick, fun, cheap game, pick up Scrabble Slam! 

    4.  Sometimes on weekend mornings (or early afternoons) the hubs and I dance with our dogs to 80s music in the living room.  We have a blast!

    5.  I hate the cold.  And I am always cold.  Last night we were grilling outside.  It was about 85 degrees and I had a sweatshirt on.

    6.  I love to read!  My favorite authors are Lisa Gardner, Harlan Coben, and Jodi Picoult.  ALways looking for recommendations, so pm me anytime with a good title or author!

    7. I am in school for my master's degree in mental health counseling.  I want to work with adolescent females, especially bullies and victims of bullying.  I am especially interested in the effects of technology on bullying (facebook, text messaging, etc).

    8.  I have Bob Saget tickets for a Jaunary show!  I am so excited!  I've seen Chris Rock and Ralphie May...both were great.

    9.  I love Wifeswap.  If you have never seen it before, you must!  So funny!!!

    10. This list was harder than I thought it would be.  Time to prepare dinner for the hubs!  :)

    ok I've never done one of these either!

    2. I adore the summer in St. Louis. Heat + Humidity = stlginkgo happy
    3. I am always cold. It ould be 95 degreese outside and I will be wearing a hoodie
    4. I like to read but nothing that makes me think too much more like the Twilight series, Harry Potter, Mary Higgins Clark etc
    5. During the summer I like nothing better than to sit on my ass and snuggle with my furbabies
    6. Somedays, right before the hubbie gets home, I will begin picking up the house so the thinks I was hard at work

    fontgoddess    August 8, 2009   British Columbia, Canada

    OK, I think I did this last month but I don't remember what I said. Hopefully I won't repeat myself. :-)

    1. Although I use a computer (quite competently!) in my work, I'm a bit of a techno-Luddite otherwise. My very techie husband is somewhat appalled that I have yet to program any important phone numbers into my new cell (that I got in JANUARY).
    2. I never knew it before I got married to a person who literally cannot function in the morning until the caffeine kicks in, but I am actually a morning person!
    3. We don't have cable and the only show I truly miss is "What Not to Wear".
    4. I love nail polish on my toes, but can't stand it on my fingers.
    5. I actually like washing dishes.
    6. I'm a decent outdoor gardener but have a unique talent for killing houseplants.
    7. I am really bored with seeing stripey, chunky highlights. I don't mind people colouring their hair, but I prefer it to look as if it might at least possibly be natural.
    8. I have named the black squirrel who visits our birdfeeder "Bob" because he has an unusually short tail.
    9. I am utterly hopeless at small talk. People meeting me for the first time likely think I'm a snob, but I honestly just can never think of anything to say most of the time. Unless they give me some kind of opening by saying something that unparalyzes my tongue (and God bless the people who do), I am quite iikely to just sit there like an idiot. 
    10. I used to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer religiously. Still think it's one of the best shows ever!

    1. I love to read - I am an English Lit major but I am NOT a book snob. I will read anything.

    2. I would wear men's sweatpants all day everyday if my friends and family would let me.

    3. I dislike cats (sorry) I think they smell and are supercillious creatures.

    4. I have a texture issue with foods and will hate anything I eat for the first time because it is a new texture.

    5. I am obsessed with Gilmore Girls and I use lines from it in everyday discussions with people even though they don't get the allusion.

    6. The Bachelor/Beachelorette is my guilty pleasure - mostly because it makes me feel better about myself and my life.

    7. I grew up five minutes from a ski mountain but have never skiied or snowboarded before.

    8. I love chocolate. No you don't understand. I LoOoOoOve chocolate like I couldn't live without it.

    9. I am pretty competitive but I especially am competitive with word games like Scrabble and bananagrams.

    10. I cry, bawl and weep at every wedding (I know non-wedding related) or anything particularly sappy. It is pathetic but I just can't help it. ESPECIALLY when families or fathers get weepy. It is just too much for me.

    1) I have a freakishly good sense of smell - which is not always a good thing.

    2) I really love baseball.

    3) I try to be a conscientious worker, but I resent being asked to do some else's job when I feel like I'm being taken advantage of.

    4) My favorite vegetables are peas, radishes, and lettuce.

    5) I love David Bowie.

    6) I learned how to ski, almost as soon as I could walk.

    7) I get really emotionally involved when I read books.  I usually need to give myself a week or so before I start another book so that I can 'get over' the characters. 

    8) I'm an Aquarius.

    9) I was recruited to be on my school's NCAA team my first week as a freshman.

    10) I love to sing in the shower.

    1. I derive a secret very sick pleasure from buying toilet paper on sale. I love it. I refuse to pay full price for it. When I find it super duper on sale, I stock up BIG TIME. (This also relates to another post about FI's ridiculous toilet paper usage, I can't afford him otherwise!!! LOL!)
    2. As much as I love baking, I frigging love cake made from boxed mixes. Cake from scratch is great, but give me a Duncan Hines deep chocolate any day!!!
    3. I hate drying my hair. I only wash it every other day, and I still hate it. It takes FOREVER.
    4. I still have my bear and my blanket from when I was little. My bear was my sister's and is now 36 years old! I sneak him into bed sometimes, but my blanket lives in the nightstand. I haven't decided what to do with them or if I'll ever give them to my kids...
    5. I lived in Italy for 3 months, ate prosciutto and melon for at least one meal each day and I miss it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Sigh.
    6. I'm close friends with my ex. He's going to propose to his GF and asked if it would be too weird to show me the ring because he wants my opinion on it. I'm possibly almost as excited about their soon-to-be nuptials as I am about my own!!!! 
    7. I hate our basement. I refuse to go down there at night alone. It totally freaks me out. We once heard totally freak horror-movie sounds over the baby monitor in FSS's bedroom and ever since then I'm beyond terrified of the basement.
    8. I have to watch the news at least once a day.
    9. I was named after a cartoon character. Seriously.
    10. I love a good thunderstorm!!!

    1. We have turtles. I think they're a somewhat weird pet to have when you're older but honestly they're amazing. I sometimes just sit on the floor and watch them swim around. It's awesome.

    2. I want to be environmentally friendly but I effing HATE public transportation. Even though everyone should use it, it's always freaky at the bus terminal and I hate how sweaty I get on my walk there.

    3. I love planning as well. I'm thinking after this wedding event maybe I should just become an event planner. It's so much fun! To-do lists, binders for specific things, agendas, brain storms....big fetish for me.

    4. Im a social worker, I love my career so far. However I would love to be a photographer in order to express my creative side a little bit more (it doesnt get seen a whole lot in my job right now).

    5. I have a scary addiction to travelling. When I work midnight shifts, I sometimes plan itineraries for a future trip (budget, hotel rooms, flights, etc) 

    6. My future husband and I just signed a contract to teach in Korea for a year together. I'm really excited-- and I've been planning it forever but I'm also totally scared $hitle$$.

    7, My mom is my best friend.

    8. I totally believe that my dog and I understand eachother-- that he's equivalent to a human being sometimes.

    9. If you've ever been to Ontario you've heard of Canada's Wonderland. When I was 5 I peed my pants in the middle of the candyland store. My friends mom paper toweled all of the seats in the car on the way home.

    10. I can literally work 72 hours straight without sleep. And Ive done it several times, always without caffeine. I have no troubles falling asleep,  I just seem to have a freaky ability to stay awake when necessary.

    1. I ADORE summer and wish it would last forever. Just about all activites that I love happen during the summer.

    2. I am an old hippie. Hopefully aging gracefully :)

    3. I am a garlic nut. I throw it into just about everything that isn't a dessert.

    4. I am one hell of a good cook. My mother used to brag how I took over cooking at the age of 11 years old. It was self-defense on my part.

    5. I like cats more than I like most people.

    6. I adore 90s grunge and alternative music.

    7. I hate all sports except ice hockey. I especially hate car racing. Around and around in a circle. Could anything be any more boring?

    8. I will feed anything that looks hungry - humans, cats, birds, bears, etc.

    9. I am not overly fond of children. I loved my daughter with all my heart but there was a reason why I only had 1 kid.

    10. I love tanning in the nude. Luckily, my nearest neighbor is over 1/2 mile away and I live surrounded by woods, so I can and I do!

    @danadelphia: I am ridiculously jealous that you're going to Harry Potter world. I tried to get FI to extend our layover in Miami on our way to our honeymoon so we could drive up to Orlando for a few days but he said no. I'm so sad. However, I'm making him take me to the HP exhibit at the science centre as revenge for his meanness ;) Have you played the Lego Harry Potter game for Wii?! So much fun!!!

    (1) I hate feet on the dashboard. I don't care if the feet are pretty and have a new pedicure on it, I still hate it and don't want to see it when I'm driving.

    (2) I love Nutella. It reminds me of childhood and I have a piece of toast with it everyday.

    (3) I love getting rebate checks back in the mail. To me it's like finding money in the laundry...woot woot!

    (4) I live in a beach city but haven't been to the beach in 3 years.

    (5) Breakfast used to be my favorite meal of the day. What's not to love? Bacon, sausage, omelettes, hashbrowns, etc. Then I started grad school and they served it every weekend for 2 years straight. Now breakfast is my least favorite meal of the day.

    (6) I love drinking water and will only drink tea, juice and soda when water is not available. I hate the taste of real coffee but will eat coffee-flavored candy, cake and ice cream.

    (7) I can of caffeinated soda keeps me up at night.

    (8) I wish I could walk my cat around the neighborhood kinda like how people walk their dogs.

    (9) I can't sew or garden to save my life.

    (10) I will forever love Cheezballs and discovered they sold the fake kind at Costco...dangerous!

    hmmmm why not!

    1.  I'm a waitress and find about 78% of people who come out to eat reeeaaally super annoying.  (But I've never done anything to anyone's food, nor seen anything done to anyone's food!)

    2.  I've been a vegetarian since I was 9, and trying to be a vegan while in the US because I hate how farming has become a factory process here :(

    3.  We got a dog named Buster when I was like, 8 years old, and he lived a really long time and died when I was like 23 or 24.  That has been the hardest thing I ever went through.

    4. Being separated from my FH during practically our whole engagement has been the 2'nd hardest thing.  (Oops sorry that's somewhat wedding related.)

    5. I grew up in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

    6. I really hate working (My other job, a desk job)  It makes me want to gauge my eyes out w/ a number 2 pencil.

    7.  I weigh 112 pounds but I really hate my body right now.

    8. I get unmotivated really easily.

    9. I always have at least 2 hair ties on my right wrist. Always.

    This thread is funny!

    I feel like I am in a rut right now and I feel like to moving to CA, although I literally am moving into a different (but nicer) apartment in WI at the moment.  By the way, I just discovered the joy of non-chlorine bleach for the bathroom.  It smells so much better.

    I miss FI because he is working 12 hour days 4 days a week.

    I just made an amazing tortellini dinner.  And I ate like 3 times as many calories today as I should have.  But moving makes me hungry. 

    I am craving a road trip OUT of the freaking MIDWEST.  Sorry, I love some things about WI, but mostly, the vanilla is too strong.  I am craving my free spirit friends from far off places.

    My sister just got an apartment at Central Park West and yes I am jealous.  84th.

    I am trying to decide between graduate school, my own business, maybe both?

    I am pinching pennies, but there are a million movies I want to see right now.

    1) Let's see - right now I should go and feed my sugar gliders, but hey, they're still asleep (they have a silly sleep schedule for being nocturnal!) so no harm done.

    2) I have a FoodNetwork obsession!

    3) My boyfriend loves to jump out and scare the sh*t out of me at least once a day. You'd think I would have gotten used to this by now, but no, I still scream every time.

    4) I have a calculus test on Thurs that I'm planning on not studying for until the last possible moment lol.

    5) I just moved in with the boyfriend this past weekend. Love it so far!

    6) My little sister is playing soccer in Germany right now. I am so jealous! Especially with the world cup going on.

    7) I <3 unicorns. Way too much for any grown up girl!

    8) I've lost 12.4lbs so far on my diet, and I'm SO not trying that hard. I really ought to.

    9) I'm super worried about next semester. I'm taking 22 hours and am probably going to be in over my head. :/

    10) My favorite tv show of all time is Battlestar Galactica. I cried several times during its duration. I bawled like a baby the last episode. Kind of embarrasing.

    Yay! These are my fav!

    1. I really need to get back to knitting- I hurt my arm a week ago and haven’t been able to knit but stuff has been selling on etsy (yay!)
    2. I have a MAJOR shopping problem. I don’t think there is a day while I’m at work and I don’t order something.
    3. I have a really hard time spending money on stuff we actually need vs stuff I want to buy.
    4. I quit tanning in April it was really hard for me. Thank god for this 90 degree weather to tan me up!
    5. I only agree to watch some of the “man” shows with FH if there is a cute guy on it.
    6. I HATE gardens. When I was a kid my mom put a new one in every year so we had less and less room to play. She now has 23!
    7. I like hot sauce, onions, tomatoes & lettuce on my egg & cheese breakfast sandwich.
    8. I don’t understand why heavy people wear clothes they shouldn’t. I’m 120 lbs and if I wouldn’t wear it why do you think you should?! I’m all about dressing sexy but unless you are on the beach I don’t want to see your stomach or ass cheeks.
    9. I have diarrhea of the mouth.
    10. I love reading celeb gossip but I have no idea what most of the movie starts names are!

    1)      I heart the color orange. My kitchen is orange and so is my standmixer.

    2)      I love gigantic shrimp cocktails. Big fat meaty sweet shrimp with spicy cocktail sauce.  Yum. But I always feel like Ursulla from The Little Mermaid dropping one into my mouth.

    3)      I’m weening myself off the fake sugars.

    4)      I don’t have a green thumb. I HATE gardening.

    5)      My favorite body products come from Savor on Etsy.

    6)      I hope that awareness becomes more of a priority in schools AND at home in regards to teen pregnancy. I find it really sad to see 15 year olds with a big ole belly.

    7)      I play Angry Birds on the potty at work

    8)       I like mayonnaise and ketchup on hashbrowns and fried potatoes. Healthy, no?

    9)      I never thought I’d be one of those girls getting their nails done every few weeks (waste of money!) but here I am, with nicely polished French tips every 3 weeks.

    10)   Sometimes I like being an engineer simply for the shock factor. I think it’s hilarious that people just assume I’m a big ole smarty pants and that I’m good in math (when in fact, I almost didn’t pass calculus).

    @Miss Seaman: You should be worried about taking 22 hrs. next semester. As a college professor, I have to ask why. I know most students want to get finished ASAP, but your GPA is important!

    1. I have 0 creativity. My elementary art teacher told me that I was "artistically retarded". Ever since then, I don't even bother to try. But I guess budget wedding planning requires creativity. Thank goodness for Mom :) -kinda wedding related, Sorry!

    2. Today is my FI and I's 3 year anniversary. 

    3. I had foot surgery 6 weeks ago and I am going to drive for the first time today. 

    4. I have an obsession with tshirts. You'll rarely find me wearing any other type of shirt. They are comfy.

    5. I've lost 5 pounds since my surgery. I'm not sure how when I was just sitting on the couch everyday. But I'm happy about ti!

    6. I'm nervous about school this semester. I have 2 major thesises (sp?) to write. One for my history program and one for the honors program. Ugh.

    7. I'm lactose intolerant but in the summer I can't resist ice cream. 

    8. I peel the brown part of my hamburger bums and it eat first. Then I eat the rest of the bun. It makes it last longer.

    9. I have 2 cats, Blue and Benny, and 1 golden retriever, Buford (named after the Civil War cavalry commander).

    10. I've done nothing this summer (thanks to my surgery), so I am dyingggg to go to an amusement park. Rollercoasters make me happy.

    1. I love pickles and my FI hates the smell. Sometimes I'll eat one right before he gets home just to see him squirm.

    2. I refuse to watch movies that are sad so I won't cry during it. 

    3. I work in sports and love when people (especially guys) are caught off guard when I know about sports. 

    4. I'm a control freak and have trouble delegating things to other people.

    5. When I have a new favorite song, I'll listen to it nonstop. I've had one song on repeat on my iPod for two straight days.

    6. I have an obsession with buying TV shows on DVD. I'll sometimes buy a season and never watch it. 

    7. I'm beyond excited about our trip to Florida in two weeks because I can't wait to see the new Harry Potter park at Universal.

    8. I'm left handed but grew up playing sports right handed.

    9. I have a dog, Indiana, and a cat, Bellatrix. They're both spoiled.

    10. I'm from Connecticut but live in Missouri. I like telling people I'm not from the Midwest.

    2. I have been falling asleep well before 9 o'clock every single night. By the time I get my projects done, house work done (laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc), I'm pooped!

    3. I was born and raised in Southern California. I then moved to Texas in 2008.

    4. The humidity here is a killer! I hate it when it rains in the summertime now because of how humid and nasty it gets outside. Gross...

    10. I have 2 tattoos! One on the inside of my left wrist and one on the outside of my left hip. I love them!!

    1. If I am not fed every few hours I get mean...as many of you have mentioned.

    3. I once ate four doughnuts and could have kept going except there were none left.

    4. I have taught for 6 years and can't take teaching in NJ anymore and the politics of everything...maybe career change?

    5. All I want to do in my life is be an awesome wife and mom and cook and bake!

    1. While offically I am lactose intolerant however most sugars will make me sick. I have to be careful about fruit, sodas, really anything sweet.

    2. While everyone in my office has a hard time reaching the top shelf of our filing system- I'm the only one who can't even reach it with the step-stool. I have to use the rolling ladder.

    3. I love sleep and hate when something gets between me and it. The 9pm performance Friday night and the 5am call time of Homecoming weekend makes me very, very bitter.

    4. I start getting weepy if I get too tired. I'm so much fun to be around during finals.

    5. I hate Sousa marches and think they all sound the same. Of course I'm also in a community band that looooves marches (that are all for Db piccolo... yay sight transposing)

    6. I play 5 members of the flute/fipple family with moderate to midling sucess. Flute, Piccolo, Tin Whistle, Fife, and Recorder in a very particular order. I want to learn the bag pipes one day.

    7. My brother was the second male in our family to be born in the US. My uncle was also born here. My father was born in Nigeria, and every other male has been born in Norway (most of my 2nd cousins live in Bergen.)

    8. I rarely use "to be" in spoken language and use a rather antiquated way of forming my sentences. All because I grew up in PA Dutch country.

    9. When I was 16 my team won the state FFA Equine Evaluation and Selection CDE competition. I was third in the state behind a teamate and the state 4H president. I had beat them both earlier in the season at county/regionals so I didn't feel too bad.

    10. I started cleaning out my room at my parents- so far I've thrown out 7-8 trashbags of old papers and nick-nacks. I've made a sizeable dent in the disaster.

    Cheeseburgers are the BEST

    1. I actually motivated myself with cheeseburgers when I was in night school.

    2. I want to learn Arabic so I can read Sappho in her original language, no translations.

    3. I hate my job more than I thought it possible to hate a job.

    4. I'm a Trekkie, but I love Star Wars too.

    5. I've lost almost all of my baby weight and I'm quite proud of that.

    6. I had an almost all the way natural birth (only 2 doses of something which did NOTHING) which is amazing because we knew Moose was already gone. The only reason I wanted meds was I wanted to be high and not feel the pain.

    7. Since losing Moose, my BS tolerance is VERY low.

    8. I love cab savs.

    9. I still feel like Nirvana saves me from sadness/anger/meloncholy

    10. I am fortunate enough to be in a relationship with the most amazing person I've ever met. He absolutly spoils me and I know it.

    1.  I'm double-jointed in nearly every joint in my entire body.

    2.  I am groped by strangers, on average, five times per week because rural Japanese people think it's an okay thing to do.

    3.  I love curry more than anything in the entire world, and my trip to India last winter was the most delicious vacation EVER.

    4.  When in the States, I volunteer at a renaissance festival.

    5.  Richard Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in Star Wars, owns a ceramic bowl that I made.  I'm told he eats biscuits from it every morning.

    6.  I have a really weird accent, and many Americans and even some Brits tell me I sound English even though I've never been there before in my life.

    7.  I'm a huge geek and just finished running a big Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

    8.  When I was little, I told off the governor of Minnesota for not remembering that he had met me very briefly at my school eight months previous.

    9.  There is a Nexus of Death fifty feet from my apartment building.  In that twenty-square-foot area, in the past year, I have been attacked by a 300 lb. wild boar, hit by a car while on my bike, had my stuff ripped apart by an army of crows, and had a venomous snake come out of the bushes five feet from me.

    10.  Robert A. Heinlein is my favorite author of all time, and I kind of want to marry him and have his babies, even though he died the same year I was born.

    (1) I love kitsch. Not in my house. But if I'm on a roadtrip and pass a sign for the world's tallest coffee cup, or biggest ball of yarn or whatever, I HAVE to stop. This obsession also extends to classic American diners - LOVE them.

    (2) I wish I could go back to the 1950s and 1960s and just observe what life was like then (not, @gabrielleelise1981, because of the clothes Smile), beacuse I find the social and political norms of the time to be completey fascinating.

    (3) The Guy and I recently discovered the On Demand Karaoke feature on our tv. Sometimes when we're bored we turn it on and sing along to the most ridiculous songs we can find.

    (4) I am OBSESSED with travel research and have been for as long as I can remember. Seriously, when I was a kid, I used to make spreadsheets for my parents so that they could accurately compare all the vacation destinations they were considering for their next trip. Nerd alert!

    (5) I do not like my food to touch. Especially if I'm having pancakes and the maple syrup touches the eggs or the bacon...UGH! DISASTER!

    (6) I love to look very pulled together even if I don't need to. I am usually the most dressed up person in the office. Dressing up just makes me feel good about myself.

    (7) I do not like Sephora. There's too much selection. I mean, how would I choose ONE eyeshadow out of the whole store!? Not possible!

    (8) I have been really down lately because I LOVE my job, but it's a contract that ends at the end of August and the new job I have lined up (at the same institution) isn't nearly as great. Boo.

    (9) I was on Regie and Kathie Lee when I was 9. My family ran into Regis when we were in Paris (he was there filming a special) and then they aired our conversation with him on the show a couple weeks later!

    (10) I love skiing and it makes me sad that The Guy refuses to try it, because I loved family ski vacations when I was growing up and would love to take our future children on the same types of trips.
