    Sing it with me folks!!! I've been feeling a little......... faceless around here lately and it occurred to me that some of the Bees who have been around here for a while likely know me, but not some of our new members, and I probably don't know some of our newer members very well! So hi, it's nice to meet you! I'm Bakerella!

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding 0353

    My husband would say I'm weird, I prefer the word quirky ;) Or delightfully eccentric is fine too! I'm a pretty funny person (or so I like to think), I'm giving to a fault, and I can come up with any excuse to eat dessert. I'm a stepmom and I have two furbabies, Peter and Glory.

    Likes: Baking (clearly), snuggling my kitties, road trips, DIY-ing, watching movies with DH, laughing, reading.

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding Veronica Dan 0429

    Dislikes: People who walk slow and manage to take up the entire sidewalk on their own, telemarketers, bad drivers, errors in the tv guide, typos.

    Little known facts: 

    • I met DH while waiting for an elevator (hence the avatar).
    • I tap my nose when I'm thinking. Like right now when I was trying to think of what to write here. 
    • I can wiggle my nose.
    • The smell of skunks really doesn't bother me all that much.
    • I hate sweating and will look for every possible excuse to avoid exercising. Not good.

    Confessions: I love to play online Scrabble but I sometimes cheat and use a Scrabble word maker. Innocent

     

    Your turn!!!

    OH I"ll play! I'm gogoGiraffes. And Mr. Giraffe is.. well really a giraffe, He's 6'4", and I'm well.. five feet...

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding 4900064834 91446c9dff

    Mr. Giraffe would say that he hates my taste in music, country, and I'd say I hate his obsession with TeamFortress (videogame). He would say that I do try hard, but I say I just fall short. I'd say he has good intentions. Just they don't lay out as well... I'm mom to a bird (parakeet) and a corgi. Gizmo. You'll see him later. Step mom to 2 nemo fish. I personally, enjoy baking. About to go make mini cream pies to see how they turn out for thanksgiving. I'm the head of the food for our Holiday party, and responsibility scares me. I'm now a 3x season ticket holder of our local AA baseball team. When I got them, I hated baseball. I haven't missed a game since. I also enjoy making cupcakes (did I mention that; well I really do). And I hate cleaning. But can't stand a dirty bathroom or kitchen.

    Without further adieu. Gizmo drowning in the snow.

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding 3323345522 3e4df6c6ab M

    Gizmo enjoys baseball too.

    we also really like basketball.

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding 5538746446 25f38cb8f9

    And I enjoy crocheting. The only picture I have, made my neice a scarf to grow into.

    Confession: I got braces to stop biting my nails.

     

    EDIT:  I'm a pro at finding mistakes in movies. Like different shirts in the same scene, stuff like that. Mr. Giraffe hates that.

    DISLIKES:

    • people using cell phones in the gym/on the treadmill!!!!! (seriously???)
    • I'm trying to think of something else.
    • ok - got some inspiration from your post: PEOPLE WHO WALK SLOW!!! Gah!

    @gogogiraffes: Thanks! I didn't say I could knit well, I'm pretty basic. No cables or anything! It's easy enough to learn the basics even just with YouTube. A friend of mind taught me years ago when I was working in film & television (another little known fact), we had a lot of down time on set, lol!

    @gogogiraffes: you obviously aren't talented enough with braces! I succeeding in chewing them through 6 years of braces!  still not entirely sure how I stopped - but I do have to carry nail clippers all the time because any tiny imaginary tear immediately becomes chewed off!

    @bakerella: I love Scrabble too :) Question: what are you doing moderating an internet forum if you hate typos? Tongue out

     

    hmmmmm I'll make a separate post for my getting to know you...

    Coffee cup    December 7, 2012   Sonora, Mexico

    Yaay let me play:

    I’m Coffee Cup. I’ve known my awesome fiancé since I was 14 years old, we’ve been dating for almost 8 years now and are getting married the day of our 9 year anniversary. I’m Mexican born and raised but am way too influenced by the American culture (live really close).

     
    I’m marrying the least photogenic man in the world. We got engaged October 1st and we haven’t tell our parents yet.

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding Mayo

    LIKES

    • Coffee, I’m an addict.
    • Reading, I’m the prod owner of over 50 novels, I’ll love to have a kindle but I wouldn’t stand not having actual books.
    • Music. Blue October, Dashboard confessional, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Metallica, Muse… really don’t know how to define my music taste.
    • Baking. It relaxes me and Fi loves my chocolate chip cookies.
    • Watching How I met your mother and The big bang theory.

     

    DISLIKES

    • P3opl3 wH0 Typ3 l!ke Th!$ (you can’t imagine how hard that was).
    • Dramatic people (you know those who create drama just to make themselves look interesting).

     

    LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:

    • I get easily obsesses by little hobbies and lost interest really fast.
    • I’m learning to knit.
    • Weddingbee made me believe I can DIY my entire wedding and I’m not a crafty person.
    •  Not being a native english speaker I write everything on a Word document first to minimize typos and grammar mistakes.

    CONFESSION

    • Like kmsw I’m on weddingbee everyday since I got engaged (no kidding I signed up the next day after he proposed).
    • I started a wedding blog inspired by the idea of becoming a Blogger Bee.

    I wouldn't even sugarcoat myself at quirky... I'm weird, plain and simple. lol. The Mr. and I have been married a year and together for almost 6. We were high school sweethearts.  I am a gigantic nerd, as evidenced by my super sweet Zelda tattoo.

    The loves of my life include: My puppies, Chloe and Simon. Baking (my lastest project was Snickerdoodle muffins. Amazing!). Video games. Fantasy novels and movies. Costuming and wearing costumes. Makeup! Zombies. And the newest one being crocheting, which I am currently teaching myself to do from youtube.

    We are also convention folk around this house. We love going to sci-fi/fantasy/anime/gaming conventions and Renaissance faires. I'll go ahead and share an extremely embarassing picture of my very first one in high school. lol. What you don't see in this picture was my best friend running around dressed a devil, it made sense... I promise.

    I also do musical theatre and majored in theatre with a specialization in costume and special effects makeup in college! I LOVE playing with prosthetics and latex and gore makeup.

    helenberrycrunch    January 1, 1992  

    I'm Helenberrycrunch, age 23. 

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding Wedding Pro 026

    I was born in Nashville, TN and have moved various places in the state. I live in the hills of Tennesee now, in a "city" that really only exists because of the small college that's located here. This is my drive to work:Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding Tacosandbonair030 image

     

      I have thee half-sisters (37, 35, and 29) and one half brother (16).  I developed a cat allergy when I was in college, so now I only have dogs. I have a very old bassett that lives with my mom because he's too old to make a move. The dog that lives with me is a pit mix we got at the animal shelter. His name is Virgil.

    Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.... :  wedding Virgilcolor image

     

    I met my husband in highschool when he moved to my very small town from Portland, OR.   He was two years behind me and was friends with some of my friends, so I just had to put up with his arrogant ass. He had three pairs of the same WalMart trackpants that he wore every day with somerandom old tshirt. By choice. He also had long hair. In short, I hated him. He hated me. By the time he graduated highschool, I had gotten to know him better and we were friends. By July of 2008, we were dating. I kissed him first. We were engaged in January of 2010, moved in together in April of 2010, and were married in June of 2011. He totally wears normal people clothes now.

    I have a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BSN), which allowed me to test for licensure to practice, making I have a commute of 76 miles, one way.

    I read sci-fi novels and romance novels.  My favorite number is 36, my favorite digit is 9. I enjoy neither chocolate nor pie. I'm currently in a weird place, religion-wise, due to all the dramz around my wedding that occured when our church kicked us out just over a month before our wedding. I don't have television (but I don't think I morally superior to you) but I like Grey's Anatomy and the Big Bang Theory. My favorite color is black, closely followed by green. I'm a dirty hippie that refuses to use soap (except to wash my hands) because I think it's the worst thing you can do for your skin. I refuse to bake unless I've been begged to the point of giving in for my sanity. I'm a whiskey girl that usually drinks wine. I'm registered as a Republican, but I don't vote party lines. I'm terrified of wet grass, alligators and sleeping with my feet exposed in any way. I only eat red meat because I have a weird mystery illness that really affects my stomach. At five-foot-nine, I'm shorter than both my grandmother and my greatgrandmother. If fact, I'm the shortest person in my generation on either side of my family, and the third shortest living person on my mother's side. I don't do dishes. Ever. I like to paint my nails.

    sherryberry    March 13, 2014   BC

    I'm Sherry! My FI (Alex) likes to call me names, including sherryberry or sherryberrypie. I guess he's Mr. Berry. Like a previous poster, I am short (5'0) and he is tall (6'3") I never even noticed until after we had been dating for awhile. We dated for five years and lived together for 3 before finally getting engaged.

    We don't know when we're getting married yet. We're carefully saving and living our life as usual. I'm 26 and in my last year of university, where I study publishing, writing, journalism, and more. It's chaotic but fun. I can't wait to be done school!

    I am full of witty one-liners and my friends and I are definitely weirdos. So is Mr.Berry. I'm watching Breaking Bad right now and am not finding it to be nearly as good as Weeds or the C Word. Drop Dead Diva is my guilty pleasure show. 

    We have two cats: Moe (Moesly) an orange maine-coon and Java (Java baby or Java pants) a fat grey tabby I can keep them alive, but I can't keep houseplants alive. 

    I adore elephants and turtles, and really want to travel anywhere I can. These are the lean years, but we have fun :)

    No pics right now because my internet has been really bad lately,

    @kimbean + Coffee Cup: I'm a little bit biased though, when it comes to engagment rings, I never ever wanted something flashy and glittery and giant, I didn't even want a diamond... I have a wooden band with a moissanite stone, and that's as close to bling as I get. But seriously...highly dislike 99% of engagement rings, which is why you'll rarely see me in the Rings board.. because I'm out havin' a puke at them.

    As you can see I love the sea, and the pic above is me delightedly swimming at my favorite beach.

    I grew up in the DC metro area and I am first generation Greek-American. I studied Literature and Film then got my MFA in Filmmaking and am a documentary filmmaker. I moved to Athens, Greece 4 years ago and love it here.

    FI and I met at a full moon party and have been together 5 years. Im the eccentric artist and he is the logical, grounded economist. He gives me peace and emotional balance, and I bring him some spunk and imagination.

    LIKES:

    Traveling!!! Nothing better in life than a traveling adventure.

    Cooking/Baking- my hobby is hosting elaborate dinner parties with complicated recipes. (FI asks me- can we just make burgers today? lol)

    I'm bookworm88 and I'm currently working on a Masters in English-- and applying to PhD programs to start a doctoral program next fall... Surprised They are all I think about right now, but I'll try to come up with a few interesting facts!

    My SO and I met at a summer camp when we were 11... then didn't see one another again until three years later in high school when he sat behind me in history and pulled my hair when we were supposed to be listening, the brat.  We eventually became friends but he moved across the country for college and I stayed at the school in our hometown.  He came back after graduation, just as I moved away for grad school, but the timing was right and we started dating! Finally!

    I love animals, I've worked in animal rescue and at a veterinary office and I really wish I had the science-knowledge to be a veterinarian, but I also love writing and teaching so I'm happy with my chosen career.  I'm a snob about animal-care and I have to really try to hold my tongue to not snap at you for feeding your pet this-or-that food or treating animals like anything but royalty. Wink (Exaggerating... but just barely!) 

    I love Diet Coke, knitting and crocheting, and reading.  I'm an introvert but also can rally and go out for drinks and dancing every now and then.  I'm currently converting to Catholicism and I used to be fluent in Spanish but am a little rusty now that I'm out of school-- I double majored in Spanish in college. I also love soccer and hockey (Washington Capitals!) and played the flute for 12 years.

    Hello!  I lurked for a while, but didn't feel comfy having an account because I have been married for 10 years.  I have been here for ideas for the anniversary reception I am having for my parents.  Here are some things you might like to know about me.

     

    +  I have 2 stepsons and 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl.  I would LOVE 1 more!

    +  I am obsessed with this party

    +  I went to culinary school, but became a SAHM and cook for my family now.

    +  I get as excited as a kid with Christams and bake insane amounts of sweets.

    +  I hate cleaning but love a clean house

    +  My house is NEVER clean!

    +  I am addicted to buying clothes and HUGE hair doodads for my daughter.

     

    @bakerella:  I have the snowman cookies on my pinterest.  I plan on making them for the kids this Christmas.

    ETA:  I tried to upload a pic, but I couldn't figure it out!

    Goodatlove    August 2013  

    @bakerella: Ugh, totally agree about slow people taking up the whole sidewalk
    @nycbrde2011:
    I love me some Say Yes to the Dress, too!

    Well, I'm Goodatlove. This Christmas will be SO and my 3 year anniversary. I hope to be engaged within the next year and married within two years. He lives on the West coast and I live on the East coast. We have been LDR for the entirety of our relationship.

    I like shopping, cooking, and traveling.

    I dislike drama and folding laundry.

    The first thing I notice about people is their shoes. I started selling shoes in highschool and now, 6 years later, I'm a manager at a shoe store.

    I have a degree in marketing management with a minor in mathematics. I went to three colleges but still managed to graduate in 3.5 years.

    My dream job is probably interior decorating. I wish I was really good at that. I don't decorate my own place too much because I'm in an apartment and don't want to have to deal with undoing everything, but once I have a house, FH bettter watch out cuz I'll be decorating everything!

    I'm a little bit ADD and OCD. Bad combination haha.

    I'm really small. 5'0'' and under 100lbs. I have a hard time finding clothes that are small enough. My SO, on the other hand, is 6'7''.

    My favorite food is spaghetti.

    I don't wear belts.

    We went do Disneyland last week, so here are a few pictures from that.

    Hi! I'm soyjoy. I've been on here a year? Didn't start posting a whole lot until I got a new job and am in an office all day, instead of out doing client visits. I miss getting out, so thank god for the bee!

    LIKES:

    -My furbaby. He is pictured below sleeping.

    - Exercising!

    -Making crafts!

    -Being at home. I really love coming home/taking a day off and just hanging out. I am a huge homebody...FI is, too.

    DISLIKES:

    -Loud chewers, people that crack gum. Makes me crazy. Congrats, you can chew. No, you don't need to prove it to everyone.

    -People that don't drive the speed limit. It's 45. Why are you going 25? If you don't know where you are, can you pull over and let me go so you can continue to move at a glacial pace at your own convenience?


    LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:


    -I have done gymnastics for a big part of my life and I compete for a local adult team. Yes, I still wear a leotard and do flips in public. Surprisingly, it's not embarassing. I'm hoping to start a blog soon about this upcoming competitive season. I don't care if people think it is strange, I've met great people, and at 25, I'm in great shape and flexible!

    -I love any and all music by the Foo Fighters. I've seen them in concert twice and I sang along to every song!

    CONFESSION: 

    -I am on here way too much and would die if anyone ever found me!!

    Mrs Sarah McK    October 10, 2010   Harrisburg, PA

    I'm FutureMrsMcK (or really, just MrsMcK now) :) 

    I'm 26, and DH is 32. We met when he moved in with me. I was roommates with his BFF from Jr. High (who is one of my nearest and dearest friends) and BFF's gf. After a bad breakup earlier in the year, DH decided he needed a fresh start, and moved to Philly. We happened to have a newly vacant bedroom, so he moved in with us. And the rest is history. He loves me because I laugh at his bad jokes. We've been married just over a year, have three kitties, and are TTC our first child. 

     

    LIKES: Cooking for other people, baking bread, road trips with DH, cuddling on the couch with DH and our cats, DH's often-corny jokes, reading Harry Potter to my 10 year old niece, good coffee, good beer, and red wine

    DISLIKES: People who walk slow and manage to take up the entire sidewalk on their own, (THIS!), drama queens, religious fanatics (sorry, but my family is full of them, and they make me nuts), most seafood. 

    LITTLE KNOWN FACTS: I used to cocktail and work as a cashier at a strip club in NOLA. I had a bad habit of getting bored in the middle of the night and chopping my hair off (ok, well known to anyone who knows me IRL). 

    CONFESSION: I hate guacamole. Really anything that has avocado in it. With a burning passion. I don't even know why. Even the thought of it makes me gag. It makes my husband sad/happy because he loves avocados, and thinks I should too, but he always gets to eat mine.
