Ha ha. I love a good bath, but it agree I usually shower first and end up cleaner the tub first (because I inspect it too closely). So it's a lot of work and therefore hasn't happened in a while.

roashem2008

1.  I played soccer my whole life, and got a scholarship to play in college.  Then I met DH.

3.  I love Judge Judy.

4.  I am terrified of June Bugs, and any beetle really.

5.  As far as the bath thing...I HATE baths.  I probably haven't taken one since I was like 5.  They creep me out.

- I can eat a whole pack of Oreos in one sitting.
- I almost died from dengue fever when I was 5 years old.
- I competed in vocal competitions in high school. I hated it so much and was always so nervous that my family and friends never knew about it.
- DH (boyfriend at the time) told me he loved me before we even had our first kiss.
- I have an obsession with shoes. My last count was 73 pairs.
- My all time favorite movie is The Labyrinth.
- I love using LO as an excuse to pass on invitations. People probably think she's a monster baby with the excuses I make.

@fieldpetal A stroke how scary, I'm glad your okay. A friend of mine had a strike at 20 and she never fully recovered.

Yeah I'm very lucky. It was scary and unbelievably painful for about 5 seconds. The only lasting effect I had was loss of vision in one eye. And I had to be on lovenox and heparin shots the last few months of my pregnancy--which really hurt, but it was worth it.

Jaysus! I think you win for longest legs on the board. I know someone has a 36" (maybe 37") and I'm sitting at 34/35".

I really, really, really wish they would sell women's pants the way they do men's.

I know, right?? They make it so hard for girls with long legs! My mine are crazy long. I worked with this lady who was 5'0 and she would tower over me when we sit. I have no torso!

JenR85

This is just crazy to me! So what about like jello salads? Or is it just the jello jigglers?

Spartanmomma said:

@JenR85 I do! I can't describe or explain it. I actually cried when someone tossed a jello jiggler at me in high school thinking I was joking. Embarrassing. But true.

@chiboo9 I love Labyrinth! Dance, magic dance! The bog of eternal stench! Classic.

I cried when someone threw a Skittle at me.  It was dumb of me.  I also not like jello, but I am not afraid of it.  It just does weird things in my mouth.

It does not....he wishes it did.   But he does like this tattoo.

1. I love Central America. I've been to El Salvador 7 times, and have also visited Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras and Guatemala.
2. I am a huge Yankee fan and miss living in NYC a lot even though I like DC.
3. I take fantasy football way too seriously and beat my husband by 80 points and that made me way too happy.
4. I love to cook. I love to eat. Cheese, good bread, good chocolate are my favorites. I love to drink, especially good beer or good red wine.
5. I'm shy at first and then will talk your ear off.
6. I hate living far from my parents. They live in CT and I miss living in NY in part because it was closer to them. I really wish my daughter saw my family more frequently. I think maybe we should move but I'm nervous about finding a new job.
7. I love to read and read very quickly. I will read anything I can get my hands on.
Bonus: my current favorite TV shows are HIMYM, Breaking Bad, Modern Family, and Parks and Rec. I also love Mad Men and miss 30 Rock a lot.

SWestbrook13

1. I've never been pulled over, knock on wood. But I've also been driving the same car since I was 16 and I've decided that it must be invisible.

2. DH and I have the same birthday. A year apart. It's on a 13th.

3. We also got married on a 13th & were irrationally pleased that our first LO was born in 2013.

4. I'm kind of obsessed with the Myers-Briggs personality test and have made almost everyone that I'm close to take it. But this is probably because I'm an INFJ, and I've never met another one.

5. My first maiden name was Arrowsmith. I took my stepfather's name when my mom remarried after my father died, but I secretly sometimes wish that I hadn't...even though it's not spelled like the band.

6. I watch TV and movies with closed captions on, unless there's someone else watching that strongly objects. I have slower auditory processing and it's easier for me to follow when I can read it vs. hear.

7. I know this because I used to work as a brain trainer, in a more brief, but fun period of my life.

Bkuhman

1: I want another baby within the next four years
2: I am getting DH to hurry on the vasectomy so I don't go through with #1
3: DH can't be scheduled for the vasectomy until January.
4: I am having moving anxiety-I love the south!
5: I can't stand the thought of sleeping without DS beside me.
6: every time I think back to the moment I saw his head come out I get happy.
7: I find breastfeeding so amazing and I am in such aw over it. Not sure how to explain it. I can't but feel happy when I am doing it.

JessieH8686

I failed my drivers rest 16 times and didn't finally pass until 2 years ago (I was 25 when I finally got it)

I am terrified of ketchup. I can't even have dinner next to someone who is eating it.

I went to Kenya last year and it changed my life. I want to adopt a baby from Africa.

Parker was conceived in Venice Italy.

I take 3 baths a week.

I have had the same best friend for 15 years.

I hate my husbands cat and try to give her away all the time
