mhh, there's a lot.  Its so interesting watching them grow and develop.  And I just can't believe how much I love these cranky little munchkins.  It really changed my perspective on a lot of things in my life.

DH and I are both pretty easy going.  Its hard to get either one of us riled up or angry, which I like.  I wish I were a little less introverted.  It really takes an effort for me to socialize and I'm terrible with names.  DH is much better at that sort of thing.

Biggest accomplishment in life?

Well, prior to having these girls, I would have said graduate school.  But now I think I would say that is a tie with getting my girls to sleep through the night together and getting their naps synchronized.

Are your toenails painted? If so what color?

I painted them about 2 months ago, a pink/peach sort of color, with a pearl finish.  Not very noticeable.  Now most of it has worn off all my toes except patches left on my big toes.  Very attractive.

Hmmm I really don't know.  I want my girls to be compassionate and forgiving. I think grudges and judgementalness (I think I made this word up) are really unhealthy.  I also want them to be self-reliant and independent.

Do you enjoy popping pimples?

I would not say I enjoy it but there is a certain satisfaction in it.  I have not really had one in years though.

Fries with just salt or with a sauce (cheese, gravy, etc...)

Dream-Dream vacation & realistic-dream vacation?

dream-dream vacay would be to take off like, 8 months from work, and travel around South America and Europe.

realistically, Cost Rica, Peru, and/or Chile are on my list.  Also, this is probably not that realistic, but some day I would like to go to one of those Pacific Islands like Bora Bora and stay in one of those huts over crystal clear turquoise water.

What are you dreading most about having twin teenage daughters?

haha - well teenage daughters just scare me in general.  I feel like girls are so sneaky at that age and with 2, they will be covering for each other and we'll never have any idea what they are up to.

Favorite flower?

Orchids.  Before I had babies I had about 20 orchid plants but I gave them all away afterwards because I just didn't have time to care for them.  Also, our new house did not have good light for most of them.

Our honeymoon.  We went to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.  The animals there are amazing.

Hmm, I mostly drink water.  Alcoholic drinks, I guess Vodka & tonic (boring, I know).  If its made with Vanilla vodka it tastes just like white cake batter.  mmmm

Best memory?

I can't choose one.  My wedding was really fun.  In recent memory, there was a day back in November.  It was one of first days that I was alone with LOs all day and I was very overwhelmed but at the end of the day, I laid down with both girls and they both fell asleep on me and I couldn't even move until DH got home.  And it was the first time since they were born that I felt relaxed and happy.
