Totally and completely unofficial Sooner AMA

sooner1981

Soonerhusband and I are on hour 9 of a 14 hour road trip back home from a family reunion.

Any questions? I am currently in the middle of nowhere, USA, so I can't promise decent cell reception...but I will do my best.

(Don't yell at me, @carriet -- I never get to play on weekdays because my work sucks all the bumping joy out of life!)

Central Market food in our hotel room. Got to Dallas super late because we stopped in the middle of nowhere, south oklahoma to change a tire for a mom who had a blowout with her three kids in the car. It ended up taking about 2 hours because their jack was bent in the middle and it took forever to crank the car up.

Or so I am told. I don't know anything about cars, so I hung out with the mom while my husband sweated through his shirt and got covered in grease!

A town full of free houses for couples who want to be foster parents and amazing teachers, counselors and doctors to provide comprehensive, top of the line support, education, and care for kids in the foster system.

(And round the world plane tickets for my husband, kids and me, so we could spend a year learning all about histories/cultures I have only read about in books and documentaries!)

What are you most proud of? (Besides family)

That is a tough one!! Probably going to the Olympic trials in rowing. Didn't make the team--but oh well!

And one time when I was older and out of law school, we put together a boat of former college rowers who had never practiced together and went to a regatta and kicked some butt, beating some college teams. That was such a fun day!

2nd date! We went to see LOtR, and our nerdiness meshed so well that I came home to my roommate and best friend and told her I was going to marry him someday. And two years later, I did!

If you could throw a water balloon at any bumpie who would it be? What about celebrity?

Water balloon would be @Amjoy25‌ and you, because you guys are awesome and would probably throw one back and we would end up having a massive water fight!!

Celebrity, I will go with a mean-spirited water balloon towards the kardashian clan because...gross.

(My husband asked what is the celebrity wearing--are we talking white tshirts here?)

Snowboarderbritt said:

What do you do with the button packet that comes with new clothes?

Keep it on the dresser for about a month with te best of intentions to file it carefully away. Or until about 6 months later, when I have completely forgotten what it goes to, and then throw it into the trash. Every time.

Since your name is Sooner I'm going to assume you are from or currently live in Oklahoma. How far are you from SE KS?

I live in Iowa right now--will almost certainly move back someday! My husband's family is from NE Oklahoma, so i am very near SE Kansas several times a year!!

Snowboarderbritt said:

Are you wanting to have more children?

Yes, but I don't know if we will. The jump between two and three seems pretty massive. And would involve getting a minivan...

I don't like very much meat--much to my husband's dismay. But I would have to say grilled fajita chicken or spicy chorizo.

No swimming here--except when we flipped our boat one time in a very memorable and freezing cold regatta!!!

3 most important things you will teach your children?

Before I went to bed every night, my parents would tell me "if you work hard and do your best, you will always make us proud." It really stuck with me.

As for the third thing, loving God (but not being evangelical) and trying to live a good, meaningful life and make the best out of your circumstances.

Amjoy25

Should I have a beer, wine or vodka?

Plan on having any more kids? Names?

With a just turned two year old and nine month old, I have a slight heart attack every time I think about adding some more chaos to the mix..but we are not foreclosing the possibility.

As for names, it took us until 3 days before our son was born to settle on his name, so I have no idea what we would do with #3!

Favorite fruit?

Deft. Honey crisp apples. I eat at least two a day when they are in season (and when I can afford them! Add those to the "if I win the lottery" purchases. They are like 2.50 a pound!)
