favorite/least favorite shark?

favorite would be a black-tipped reef shark. i swam with them in bora bora, and they are supposedly friendly (they didn't bite me).

least favorite would probably be great white. i'm terrified of them.

Any dating disaster stories?

i didn't date a whole lot, since my ex i started dating when i was 17-20, and 3 weeks later i started dating my hub...

but during those 3 weeks, i went to a party and made out with 2 best friends in the same night.....i didn't realize they were best friends that would share their stories the next day.

1 psychical and personality trait from you and DH you hope your kids get

physical, i hope my son gets his height, and my daughter gets his smile.

personality, i hope they both are as cool/calm/collected as he is.

carriet2018 said:

do you have a favorite kid?

they each have their pros and cons. but one does not pull ahead of the other...neck and neck for now.

jennlin

Phalaenopsis said:

Were you always "crunchy" or is this something that evolved after becoming a mother?

i was always a little crunchy..but having a kid (cloth diapers) made it increase exponentially.

i always used reusable, conserved resources, and recycled, but after starting cloth diapers, i made my own detergent and realized how easy it was so everything just took off from there.

jennlin

carriet2018 said:

in what ways are you "crunchy" and not "crunchy"

^putting crunchy in quotes makes me feel like this...

i'm crunchy in that i make most my cleaning supplies, recycle like it's my job, use reusable almost-everything. except toilet paper and tampons, i want a diva cup (sorry, that's a dirty word sometimes here, right?), but i'm a habitual costco-shopper, and i have a lifetime supply of tampons to go through.

i'm not crunchy when it comes to convenience.. i'll buy things from "regular" stores without always going the local route. i would say i purchase 75% conventional, 25% local / co-op.

What's your favorite book that was made into a movie? 

I feel really dumb saying this but I don't read very many books. I have read a lot of Nicholas sparks books though, and those are basically all movies.

KuhaBaby said:

I always think of you being one of the wealthiest mom on the board.... What's the most expensive thing you have ever bought (house and car not included)?

Hah, I'm not wealthy, I just live in HCOL area so everything seems more expensive.

I would probably say my engagement ring or vacations were most expensive, but if that doesn't count, then maybe a tv?? Or my washer and dryer? I don't spend a lot of money on "stuff", I like to travel with my money.

Katie619 said:

After reading your travel history, did you go to Philadelphia for work?

Out of the places you've been before, if you were only allowed to go back to one of them for every vacation for the rest of your life, where would it be? Why?

No, my moms BFF lived in Philadelphia.

If I could only go to one, I'd say the big island of Hawaii. I would've picked borabora, but it's way to pricey on that island.

jennlin

KuhaBaby said:

Is there one thing you must have to eat or drink everyday?

Just water. I drink a LOT of water. I carry a 48oz jug with me everywhere I go. If I forget it, I have mini panic attacks. (I drink about 150oz a day).

What does your family do on the 4th of July?

When I was younger, it was blow sht up.

This last 4th of July, we had recently moved into an established neighborhood, so we invited all the neighbors over for a BBQ. It was a lot of fun and we want to do that every year now.

quartermisses said:

If you didn't have any empty spaghetti jars, what other container would you use to store your breast milk?

Lol, well I normally put them in bags, since I donate regularly, but the last few weeks my nephew has been staying with us so I pumped in bottles instead. (And gave him milk instead of my friends baby). I could've used bags, but those are one-time use, so I grabbed jars instead.

KuhaBaby said:

What's your favorite thing to do in Seattle?

farmer's markets. i don't go to pike place often, because it's super busy..but i love having local farmers and artists all in the same place in all the neighborhoods outside of downtown.

KuhaBaby said:

What scares you the most between a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, sinkhole, or volcano?

earthquake.

edit: but i'm really not all that scared, even though they say seattle is due for a "big one"....if it's gonna happen, it's going to happen. i don't want to live in fear.
