Lol! How fun! Work is soooo boring today...sooo...I'll do a wedding themed 25 things!
1- I really don't want a diamond wedding ring. I just don't! I will probably get a wedding band and wear my e-ring occasionally on my right hand.
2- I am seriously considering asking one of my BMs to not be in my wedding, but I don't have a really good reason other than the fact that we've just grown way apart. I'm on the fence about it though...
3- I really want a mantilla veil, but I don't know if it will go with my dress.
4- MY DRESS! I'm in love with my dress. I keep second guessing it though. It's kind of heavy...not great for a destination wedding.
5- Actually, I am thinking about forgoing the veil altogether and doing some kind of really cool headpiece with flowers or leaves.
6- I really love my photog. My epics should have turned out awful but they came out amazing. He is a wizard in disguise.
7- I think florists are way overpriced. But, they actually do a lot, so then again...
8- I think the best man is more excited about the wedding than the maid of honor. I think that's disappointing.
9- I am not a wedding blogger. I like reading wedding blogs, though.
10- I find my FMIL to be a little overbearing in her excitement about the wedding; by contrast, I don't think my mom shows enough emotion about the wedding.
11- I am using up ALL my paid time off next year to get married and go on my honeymoon. I'm a little bummed about that.
12- Oh yeah, we're honeymooning in Cancun for a week. That's pretty awesome.
13- How we're going to drive to/from Yosemite for the wedding and fly to cancun and NOT be exhausted, I have no idea.
14- I have nightmares about my work wedding shower being a complete disaster and people buying me tupperware or mismatched china. Eesh.
15- I also had a nightmare that my venue got double booked and I had to have a joint wedding with another bride.
16- Neither my FI nor myself really know what our colors are. We say different things whenever someone asks us...
17- The second wedding-related decision we made? the first dance song. (First was venue.)
18- If I could do it all again, I'd have a courthouse wedding. It would save time and money! A little late for that now, though...
19- One of my ex's is coming to the wedding. I'm totally ok with it, since we're all friends and FI is going to be in his wedding.
20- I hate fondant. Hate hate hate. My cake will be simple, but taste good.
21- My favorite vendor so far is my invitations vendor, Momental Designs. I really love them. So customer service oriented.
22- I don't want kids until I'm at least 30, so stop asking!
23- I do not know if I will ever find wedding shoes that meet my standards.
24- I could honestly care less about table linens.
25- Lastly...although I love my venue and my photog and my invitations designer, my favorite part of the wedding? My FI, of course! :)
1. Today is the two year anniversary of the day I met my fiance. And yes, we met at a bar.
2. I'm a terrible driver. When I was 16, I was in three car accidents, all my fault, and two because I wanted to avoid hitting animals. Thank goodness I live in a city with good public transportation.
3. I was in a pre-professional dance program from grade school to college and taught dance in college and grad school. Sometimes I miss teaching, but I've started taking advanced adult ballet classes.
4. My fiance has a weird obsession with Gorham's "Chantilly" silver pattern. He has a set he bought off Ebay and eats with everyday (only odd thing about him). I'm pretty sure my family and friends will think we are gift grubbers when they see the $385 silver place setting on the registry. And never believe that it is his thing.
5. I'm obsessed with china patterns. My mom gave me a four piece place setting of Spode Christmas Tree china and I love it! So festive.
6. I love witty banter and humor. Think Lorelei and Rory on "Gilmore Girls". Maybe because Loreliei reminds me of my best DC friend, both looks and personality wise.
7. I'm Catholic and all of my sacraments (baptism, first communion, confirmation) were on my birthday. I wish my wedding could have been the same day.
8. I sometimes feel like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde II.
9. I'm a Democrat but most people think I'm a conservative Republican. Mainly because I dress really preppy and ladylike and have a conservative background.
10. In high school I was voted "most likely to be involved in a government conspiracy". Yet I still have secret clearance.
11. As a lifeguard, I slammed my middle finger in a garage door and had to have it reattached, then wear a large cast on it all summer.
12. I've successfully set up two couples, both of whom I was friends with both the guy and the girl separately before they became a couple.
13. My engagement ring is my fiance's great-grandmother. I write a blog, a series of letters to Anne, the woman whose ring I wear, that I plan on presenting to my fiance on our first anniversary as our "paper" gift.
14. My friends say that I remind them of Bree on Desperate Housewives. I kind of look like her too.
15. I'm a city girl but I can't wait until we build a beach house on the lot we own.
16. I don't want to change my last name but it means a lot to my fiance. I am struggling with this.
17. I was my sorority social chair in college and turned it into a permanent job. Until I realized that planning parties was not my life's calling.
18. I actually use my degrees in my job; most people find this odd.
19. I was a professor before I was 30.
20. I'd love to get my Ph.D. but I also don't want to move from DC.
21. I can not stand white condiments (i.e. mayo, cream cheese, ranch dressing).
22. French fries are my favorite food
23. I'd love to own a winery one day but could never live outside the city or even the suburbs
24. If I had a different career, I'd run a charter school or arts organization for inner city kids
25. My parents are my heroes and biggest cheerleaders. They encouraged me to live my dream and I am who I am because of them.
1. I love dry, sunny, windy weather.
2. Sometimes I wish I lived in California. It has this aura to it. And Inn N Out. Yum.
3. I wish I knew how to play guitar and sing. I'm not musically inclined but I wish I was.
4. I'm very liberal. Everyone deserves happiness.
5. I enjoy spending time with my cats than I do most people. They don't judge and they love unconditionally.
6. I feel at my best when I am healthy and in shape. Exercise is an adrenaline addiction. I like to take care of myself.
7. I haven't had REAL mexican food since moving away from Cali. I miss it so much.
8. Margaritas are my absolute favorite adult beverage. So good.
9. It bothers me that so much of America wants a healthcare handout. Ditch the burger and get off your couch. Teach your kids the same. Heart Disease is the #1 killer in America and most of it can be prevented. Take care of yourself and live longer!!!
10. They're real =P
11. I don't like chocolate. I know, I know, I'm a freak. But Swedish Fish? Gimme.
12. I love diamonds. Jewelry is my "thing". i'd love to design some.
13. I don't believe there is a "perfect" job for me. What I do pays the bills and I enjoy it enough to do it every day, but I still want to go home when it's all said and done. I work to live, not the other way around.
14. I have to force myself to spend money on little luxuries for myself. I have trouble spending money "unnecessarily".
15. I LOVE ebay. Just ask anyone--I find great deals constantly.
16. I never thought I'd be one of those girls who got married at 23, but I am. I almost feel "too young". Life is funny, ain't it? Marriage is just the official paperwork--the committment's been there for years.
17. I'm not a spontaneous person. I wish I was bit I can't do it!
18. I LOVE to cook. There's just no time anymore.
19. I can't fix anything worth a damn. I'll hire a plumber in a hot second.

21. I know how lucky I am to have such great friends and family. So lucky.
22. I like things done my way. My house, my rules.
23. It annoys me when really rich people blow money like crazy on stupid things just to be divas. Like a person to hold an umbrella for you.
24. I wish I had a pool in the backyard to enjoy during the summer. It just isn't summer unless you're golden brown with a drink in your hand.
25. Sometimes I stick out like a sore thumb and I'm totally ok with it! =]

3. I want to travel to almost everywhere...I find people interesting and the chance to experience people in different culture would be amazing.

23. I hate roller coasters. And, I have a fear of riding in a car with other people driving. I had a fear of flying, but I have had to overcome it to see my air force baby. But, I still hate to fly because I’m not in control. If I feel like I am losing control or someone is driving a little too crazy for me, I hyperventilate. I guess, in the short version, I’m a control freak.

25. My favorite character is Tweety bird. *cough obsession cough*

19)Childbirth wasn't bad imho. Even with a c section and having them prior to that try to induce my labor. I think some women try to scare you into thinking its bad.
20)I don't like wearing a french on my toes. My big toe is imho too fat and it looks funny. I wear a color on the toes!
21)I'm a sucker for a damn good margarita. Close second is sangria. Homemade sangria.
22)Also a sucker for Tony Bourdain and the travel channel!
23)I once gave Kiss a tour of Graceland when I did a stint as a ViP tour guide there in 1990. (or was that 1991?) Paul Stanley is super short.
24) I was a competitive baton twirler. was featured twirler in college. Go Tigers!
25)I sing all the time in my suv while driving. I do it. And I know the drivers in the vehicle next to me think I'm nuts.
heh, i never actually filled this out on Facebook, but I'll give it a go here since I'm not doing anything else besides eating candy corn. Not sure if I can make it to 25 though!
1. I don't swear. Ever (well, just in my head). I'm not offended or anything if other people do, but I feel so awkward if it's coming out of my mouth (or fingers- I don't even like typing it!).
2. I met Mr. Joe on a game called Runescape... But, I'm not a gamer AT ALL and primarily played that game for the social aspects

4. I LOVE salad. nothing fancy, just a typical garden salad. I could eat one every day and not get tired of it. And I practically did for a year when I was away at college.

6. I have basically no real friends, just aquaintences, and sometimes that makes me sad.
7. I like all types of music except for rap. Perry Como to Korn, it's all good :)
8. I wish I could sing and dance. Well.
9. I hate the cold. But I know I'm stuck with it because hubby likes cold and hates summer. (which basically also sums up the dynamics of our relationship- if I hate it, he loves it and vice versa).
10. I get really really annoyed with some of the things people post on their facebook statuses, but I'm too much of a coward to point the annoying things out to the offenders.
11. I can't light matches. I've done it once in HS chem, and I tried to last week but the match broke in half and went flying so my husband took over...
12. Fireworks scare me. I like watching the big colorful shows on 4th of July from a nice, safe distance, but otherwise I'm really, really nervous around them and I hate when Hubby plays with them. I don't even like using sparklers.
13. I'm a better cook than my mom (except for her spaghetti and meatballs)
14. I don't like taking showers. I take them because between showering and stinking, showering is the lesser of two evils. But I just find them to be a cold, wet nuissance.
15. I like to take my time. I feel anxious and snappy when I'm rushed, so I tend to be the person who's always early to things.

17. I'm not interested in traveling to Europe whatsoever other than I think it would be fun to take pictures of the sights.

16. My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast.

19. My favorite tv show of all time is Gilmore Girls.

25. I have carpel tunnel (really I do) and I'm glad this was #25!
LMAO @ ejs "10. They're real =P "
@ Miss Yap, you're not alone. The idea of being Pregnant is terrifying, asbolutely everything about it. I'm not looking forward to it & I'll never be someone who says "we're trying". For me, it's just gonna be "whooops"
@ bellenga - my FI would like you to know you're his hero. He's been to every PJ concert within driving distance since 1993, Vedder is his god, and he's trying to convince me (seriously) to make "Just Breathe" our wedding song.
@ tessabella - Happy Birthday!!!!
ejs4y8--just had to go here...i find it a little upsetting that you generalize about so many americans wanting "health care handouts". you do realize that yes, although many people could exercise more personal responsibility, there are people who need health care but cannot afford it? before my FI and i set our date in stone, we need to have a serious discussion about whether we can get married in the next ten years at all. why? because he had hodgkin's lymphoma two years ago and simply cannot afford to be without health insurance in case of a recurrence, but if he gets married then he's off his parents' health insurance, which would have covered him as long as he's in school, until age 29. we both intend to attend grad school, but with only $23k/yr stipends, buying an independent health care plan sufficient to cover his expenses for cancer treatment, should it be necessary, just seems too cost-prohibitive. we can't get anything more than part-time jobs because grad school, if you haven't heard, is a LOT of work, and we don't want to drag it out over 10+ years for our ph.d.'s. plus, having a job AND doing grad school will leave us little time to celebrate and enjoy our newlywed period. if we had universal health care like so many well-off, happy, productive countries, we wouldn't be stuck between a big rock and a very hard place.
sorry, i just couldn't let that go. there are millions of people in this country who desperately need health care but cannot afford it and are faced with life or death situations far more serious than my own already really crappy one. this isn't about people being lazy and irresponsible. :( if "you're liberal" and think "everyone deserves happiness," then i have no idea why you would complain about the government having such a health care system. the health care situation is certainly preventing me and FI (who may end up with a ten-year engagement precisely because of the current system) from being happy.
Ooh, fun.

2. My mother enrolled me in dance class for 12 years (K-11) in hopes of overcoming my natural klutzy tendancies - it didn't work.
3. I'm a QC specialist at work. I was recommended for the position because my previous supervisor was impressed that I could recall information about a call I had taken 3 months before and still had documentation to back up my position.
4. I would love to go back to school.
5. I am suspicious of red birch beer - and I think the clear kind tastes better.

18. It bothers me that my guy "comes from money". I'm proud that I come from blue collar stock and would rather my children not be spoiled by his family.

Fun! Here's my abbreviated list (partly because my very short attention span will get the better of me!)
1. I can't snap my fingers..trust me I've tried and NUMEROUS people have attempted to show me how...I'm just not able to do it. And when I tell people this they usually proceed to start snapping away...yeah..rub it in why don't ya! :P

3. I love to cook and am pretty good at it...but baking is a whole different thing
4. I'm the type of girl who leaves nail polish on my fingers until there is just a little speck of whatever color was previously on them. My friends have told me now that I can only paint my nails neutral colors because you can't see how badly chipped and worn they are from far away. One of my first thoughts after getting engaged was,"Does this mean I have to get manicures?"
5. Contrary to what it might seem like in #4, I am still a girly girl...just a toned down one I guess.

7. My all time favorite go to comfort meal is ramen with hotdogs

EDIT: I don't know why my font is tiny. That could be fact #26!

9) I love dogs but get annoyed with cats.
10) I can't watch the Animal Planet because I cry whenever I see an animal get hurt.
11) I speak French and have a love/hate relationship with France (love the place/culture/food,
don't like how some don't like Americans).
12) I'm the biggest supporter of US Military men and women. I trully appreciate all the sacrifice they did/do for
our country. If I were super rich, I'd support all military veterans in any of their life plans (school, work, family,
healthcare, etc.).
13) I hate hate hate animals with rough skins: lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I'm getting goose bumps just
thinking about them right now. Yuck!
14) I have an extra-ordinary sense of smell.
15) I never smoked, drank, nor took drugs in my life and I have desire to. My fiance is the same.
16) I stopped eating red meat after dissecting a human corpse in college.
17) I hate green, leafy, vegetables. The rest of the veggies, I can eat. I don't know why I can't eat the green/leafy ones.
18) I sometimes wish I was born super rich: ala Ivanna Trump, Paris Hilton, etc. But I would use my
fame/wealth to help the US military.
19) I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with Mr. Fiance. I am looking forward to the moment when the priest
says "I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. ___".
20) I can't wait to see my future husband hold his first born. I'd probably be a basketcase.
21) I love period movies/shows. Especially love if it's during the Tudor/Elizabethan era in England.
22) I'm absolutely annoyed by women who use "like" in every other word of their sentence. You're no longer a teenager.
Learn to speak like an educated, articulate, woman. Same goes for "totally" and "literally" (used in wrong context).
(OMG! My head like literally blew up in like totally different directions! OMG! --- Argh!)
23) I swear like a sailor when I have road rage. I only get road rage because of rude/impolite drivers.

Ooh fun! @ Redeemed Rebekah - I LOVE the hippopotamus for Christmas song! ...only a hippopotamus will do...
1 - I hate fruit juice and fruit desserts, except for pie and lemon things (got that?). But I love fruit itself.
2 - I don't wear heels, ever. Don't even own them.
3 - The only reason I wear makeup is because FI likes it.
4 - I'm more excited to have kids eventually than I am for our wedding.
5 - I love to run, but after 3 knee injuries and 2 broken ankles, I had to quit. :(
6 - Since I quit running I had to cut my calorie intake in half to keep from gaining weight. Booo...
7 - I wear chunky cotton sweaters about 75% of the time.
8 - I finally went snowmobiling with my FI and secretly loved it, but the other people we went with were so rude that I refuse to go with them again.
9- I wish I went to church more.
10 - I never took a good, normal picture between the ages of 12 and 19. What's wrong with me??
11 - My fiance and I have no answer for "When was your first kiss" or "When did you first become a couple."
12 - Truth to #11 above? First kiss - Some friends introduced us and we had hung out several times. We were at a bar. Completely plowed. No idea how we ended up kissing! Which segues into part 2 of #11... After sleeping in his bed, by default (seriously, the other beds and couches were taken!), after our (presumed) first kiss night, the next day he asked me on a date.
13 - I love to go fishing.
14 - I love fall on our farm. Picking veggies from my garden and apples from the trees with a cool breeze blowing is a perfect day.
15 - I have a black lab that is super high maintenance. He can't be on his own for more than 10 minutes.
16 - My mom is the tiniest person I know. I did not inherit those traits.
17 - I love my job, even though it isn't what I went to school or grad school for.
18 - I love all things outdoors, even in the dead of winter.
19 - My FSIL is having a baby a week from today and I am out of my mind with excitement to be an auntie again!
20 - My grandma is the coolest person ever. She raised 8 kids on her own and is the most laid-back, accepting person aroudn, but she's also a take-no-prisoners, make-no excuses hard ass. I love her!
21 - I am so happy somedays that I just want to skip!
22 - The part of our wedding that I'm looking forward to the most is relaxing immediately after the ceremony.
23 - I used to love all salad lettuce until I grew some in my garden. Now I can't stand the store-bought stuff.
24 - I almost never watch TV, except for the nightly news.
25 - I wish we could have been engaged for about 5 months instead of 15. I could have had this crap done ages ago! (25b - I lovingly refer to our wedding "stuff" as wedding "crap" and piss off my FMIL. Oh well. She's not the one losing 2 bedrooms to it!)
I am ridiculously bored, so here goes:
1. I had a "spiritual awakening" as a result of dating a man last fall (not Mr. Tacos). It was the most amazing experience of my life and I have a deep, innate understanding of my "truth"; what "God" is to me and how it applies to my life and goals.
2. I love green, purple, pink and orange - and I am 100% a summer person. I need the sunshine, thunderstorms, and heat.
3. I try to get away from Clinique Happy - but I get compliments from everyone on it!
4. I am having a difficult time being a light blonde :( I think I might bleach it back to platinum, but I'm terrified I'd look like one of "those" women.
5. 6 years ago I started learning Arabic, but quickly moved on to Hindi. I have forgotten a great deal of it surprisingly. I will learn Farsi so Mr. Tacos and I can have bilingual children, but I'm a little bit scared I will not be able to remember it!
6. I just purchased my first set of hot rollers and would do them every day if I had the time. :)
7. Oil painting is my passion, but as of lately I've felt off center and haven't been able to get back into it.
8. Sometimes I miss dating because of the funny stories. Boys can be so full of themselves!
9. This morning I put about 1/8 cup of vanilla creamer in my giant coffee thing. :/
10. I have owned fish, a snake, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, cats, dogs, and ferrets. I currently do not have any animal friends. :(
11. I love pickles, lemons, and guacamole!
12. I could easily live in India-inspired clothing. Easily.
13. Mr. Tacos has lost a pair of boxers and a giant t-shirt to me. I need something to sleep in, God!
14. Sometimes I slip meat-substitutes into Mr. Tacos dinner. SHHHHHH! The only FAIL was tofu steak strips from Trader Joes. He said he thought the steak went bad and I threw it out. :)
15. My first big purchase will be a Mercedes CLK. But that won't happen for 6-10 years.
16. I have a bad habit of reading people. Empathy sometimes sucks.
17. Spaghetti squash is a new favorite!
18. I think Gap DREAM is one of the best perfumes in the world. I could smell it all day long.
19. I really want an American Eskimo Dog! They are SO cute!
20. Mr. Tacos is "home" to me. I love him so much.
Here's mine:

I'm bogarting Rosie Girl's "About You" topic (sorry girl). It's past 5pm, none of my office mates want to work anymore & they made me fill out one of those stupid 25 random things about you someone pulled from Facebook. So, I thought I'd share mine with you guys. Here goes:

6. I am completely in love with my FI - and if you told me that 4 years ago? I would totally think you were smoking crack.

15. I cannot drink wine but I wish I could.
