As a non-football fan living in Seattle, how do I avoid the histeria over the coming couple of weeks?
You cannot avoid it. However, a simple, Go Hawks will get you through it without actually needing to know anything about the game. Also....you needn't be a football fan to support our local team. The team does A LOT of good for our community, and you can definetly support that.
If you had to pick 5 bumpies to live in a commune with you, who would you pick?
This is SO hard. It would be way easier if I could pick 15.
@FamousEA - because she is awesome and we would get along great. @Spurp13 - because she has a crazy, fucked up sense of humor (just like me). @Nicb13 - because I love her bluntness and we could watch ALL the Seahawks games together. @MrsBabe614 - because my LB rocks and we are besties. And for the 5 way tie, I'd pick @MrsSinner402@golfingdarwinfish@AppleGrapeMSTK, @apk4@TheOtherJacobsons. And I'm sure I'm forgetting some bumpies that I really love and will feel like shit about later.

Oh and most def @Syllessa because she is funny as hell.

I don't have one true favorite food. This is too hard for me. I love LOTS of food. Some top mentions would include mashed potatoes, Chinese food, and fruit.

It was a trick question! You pass. The answer is all the food.

5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
If you had a whole kid and DH free day to do whatever the heck you wanted, what would you do?
is money a consideration in this, or am I hypothetically rich?
Nope, you're just you.
So, poor then. Ok.
Well...I'd get a coffee, and probably go hang out with my brother and smoke a doobie.
If I had money, I'd get a coffee, go shopping (for just me), get my nails done, a massage and facial, then go hang out with my brother, and...you guessed it, smoke a doobie.

I love that having money didn't change you.
And your doobie love.
If you could live anywhere in the US, where would it be? Both if money was an object and if it was not.

Do you have any major life regrets?
I'm already living where I would in the US. Washington is the shit you guys, for real. We have the ocean, a rainforest, mountains, desert and get to experience all 4 seasons (albeit they are wetter than 4 seasons elsewhere) and more humungous trees than you could possibly imagine - which makes our air quality delicious. We don't have a ton of crazy fucked up insects, no hurricanes or insane tornadoes. We are a liberal state politically and I could never live in a backwards ass state like Texas (no offense to anyone living there).
As far as life regrets go, I would say nothing major. Little things I might change if I could, but even those have made little difference to me now, it would just save some embarrassment - like not binge drinking so much in my early twenties.
Hmmm...This is hard. Right now, my celebrity woman crush is Elena Satine (who isn't very well known but she has a small role on Revenge and she is fucking hot. Seriously). I also have a woman crush on one of my closest friends, Ashley. Not in a weird way, I don't fantasize about having sex with her (LOL), but she is just so freaking awesome. She is smart, beautiful and crazy motivated. She is going places, for sure.
Well, this is embarrassing. I have read very little in the past few years since having kids. Before kids, I would say one of the most interesting books I've read is, "Wonderful Tonight" which is the autobiography of Pattie Boyd (the woman who married Eric Clapton and George Harrison). There are a lot of crazy stories about the Beatles and the sixties in general.

Dude, I'm down. What kind of commune are we talking? Purple kool-aid type or more like a nudist colony or what?
Mayo. Sounds gross by itself, but I can't think of a sammy I'd want without it. Except for maybe a grilled cheese. :-&
While pregnant, I put mayo on everything I could think of. Even in mac&cheese. It was best if I added jalepenos, too. I would totally do grilled cheese with jalapenos and mayo. I think I want that tomorrow.
What's a good place to visit in Washington State? Like I'm coming to visit and I want to see all the things, what's the best thing to do?
(Besides the obvious )
Totally depends on what you like to do on vacay...I'm not into tourist crap like the Space Needle, they charge you and arm and a leg to get up there but it is an amazing view of the city. Pike Place Market (where they throw the fish) is always a good spot to go see too. We are a really good state to visit if you like outdoorsy stuff like hiking and boating. Deception Pass is stunning. The San Juan and Orcas Islands are beautiful and fun to visit. I highly recommend coming for a concert at The Gorge, quite possibly the most amazing venue in the U.S.
I feel like I'm getting to know you even more!! We should do one of these every day with different bumpies!!
What scares you the most about raising kids? What makes you the most excited?
I totally agree, a new bumpie ask me anything every day!
There are three things that really scare me about raising kids:
1) fear of the unknown - what types of people will they be? Will they make good choices?
2) fear that we won't have a good relationship when they are older.
3) fear that I (or we) will fail them in some major way.
Thing that makes me the most excited is watching them grow up and getting to know them as adults. I very much look forward to things like my DD's 21st birthday, so I can take her on a mother/daughter Vegas trip, unless she hates me (see concern #2).
Favorite music/musicians? Best show you've been to?
I like pretty much all genres except EDM and Country. Love anyone from The Fugees, to Justin Timberlake, to Bob Marley, to Led Zeppelin. I love Seattle grunge like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Love Jack Johnson.
Best shows would probably be a tie between John Mayer (sounds cheesy but he is an amazing guitar player) and Stephen Marley, both seen at The Gorge.

Next time you make a grilled cheese, "butter" the outside of the bread with mayo instead of using butter/margarine in the pan. So good!
