I haven't been able to post in so long that I feel like all the work I put in to get to 300-something posts was pointless... because I still only have 300-something posts! Could I have some post-upping help, please? Questions, discussions, whatever! Puhlease?
Re: Could I have a post-count upping thread?
(1) What's your favorite color?
I don't really have one... sometimes it's blue, sometimes green, sometimes yellow. It just depends.
(2) What are you wearing right now?
Pajama pants and a t-shirt. John was up most the night miserable because of his teeth, so today is a lazy day!
(3) How did you come up with LO's name?
We both just liked traditional names, so we decided on John William. John has been down in popularity in recent years, so we thought, why not? Plus I think that his name sounds like that of a future president
(4) If LO was the opposite sex, what would the name have been?
Probably Margaret, and we would have called her Maggie.
(5) What's your go-to dinner?
Chicken with rice, cream of mushroom soup, and onion soup mix. You basically just throw it all together and bake for an hour. So easy!
(7) What's something cute that your LO did today/yesterday?
He does this thing we call "happy feet". He basically stands in place and stomps his feet repeatedly, but the best part is he laughs and gets so excited while doing it. And now he does it on command!
(8) When was the last time you and your DH went on a date - without any kids?
I don't remember! Probably a few months ago... my friend will come over and watch TV after I put J to bed, but it's been awhile!
(9) Post a picture starting at birth for each month to show LO changing/growing!
I'm not very skilled at posting photos, but I'll give it a shot when John goes down for a nap. And thanks, Mands, I appreciate the help!
To continue Mand's post. . . . .

10. What's the most favorite car that you've owned?
I POS '98 Ford Escort - I know that sounds totally lame but I learned how to drive standard on it and it was so much fun! I got a new (used) car right before I moved down to TX because I wanted something newer and more reliable, but I really regret that decision and miss my old car!
11. Do you ever shut the door and blinds when you see a door-to-door salesman coming and pretend not to be home?
Absolutely. The one time I didn't, we ended up with a $1000 vacuum cleaner. We aren't making that mistake again!
12. Have you ever been rollerskating? Did you like it?
Yes and yes. I think the last time I was rollerskating was when I was little and they had rollerskating parties at my elementary school. I remember being in fifth grade and holding my "boyfriend's" hand and we won free tickets for the next rollerskating party.
13. Have you ever been on a toboggan? Did you have fun?
Yes and yes. My parents used to own about 100 acres of land and we had a huge sledding hill on it. It was fun to see how many people you could fit onto the toboggan... I think our highest number was 7 or 8!
14) dream vacation?
An all-inclusive one with drinks, massages, and horseback riding! DH and I wanted to do a Sandals trip but it just never panned out. I'd love to go somewhere tropical and just relax.
15) how many states have you been to?
Quite a few if you just count driving through them, since I drove from NY to TX to move! But to actually visit... there was Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York (I lived there), Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, and Arizona. I think that's it.
17) what is your dream job?
I'm doing it! I've always wanted to be a SAHM and now I am, though if I wasn't, I would say a professional rider or a teacher (just without all the hard work that goes with being a teacher!).
18) highest level of education?
Bachelor's degree with 3 credits toward a Master's (yup, 3 whole credits)
Awww I love that answer
. I'm so glad you get to be what you always wanted
19) your occupation?
SAHM

21) Cost-factor aside, city, country, or suburbs?
Country but within a 20 minute drive of amenities.
22) Do you plan to see The Avengers movie?
No, not until it comes out on DVD. We are so far away from movie theaters that we haven't been to a movie since I was pregnant with LO! I take that back, I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II last summer when I was visiting NY. But other than that, movies are hard to get to nowadays!
23) Favorite movie category?
Comedy. I hate horror movies.
23a) Favorite movie? (if you have one)
I can never decide on just one. I love Anchorman, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Forrest Gump, and many others. I can never pick just one! (I am probably the most indecisive person you have ever met!)
24) Are you an oldest, youngest, middle, or only child?
Youngest, I have two older sisters.
25) What's your favorite month and why?
December - I absolutely love the Christmas season. Everyone else is tired of it and I can't get enough. I love the craziness, the shopping, the music, the smells, the snow... yeah. I love Christmastime.
21) favorite tv show
Again, I can't decide. I love Desperate Housewives, Once Upon a Time, Grey's Anatomy, Army Wives, and The Office. Probably more, too.
22) favorite movie
Please see question 23a
23) last movie you saw
In theaters, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. At home, some Lifetime movie with Julia Stiles - Wicked, I think?
24) popcorn or nacjos
Popcorn
25) ever been to an iMax or 3D?
Nope!
