Re: Killing time
2) Have you ever moved? Where all have you lived? I was born on a naval base in Okinawa, Japan. Lived in Quakertown, Pa, Jersey shore, Pa, Sheridan, Ar, Terre Haute, IN, and Suffolk, VA in no particular order.
3) How many pets do you have? What are they? I have one dog who is a beagle mix named Sadie. I also Have a long haired black cat (adopted well after birth) named midnight who now lives with my IL's b/c she likes their cats more than me.
4) Are you a morning person or a night owl? I always would have said night owl, and I stick to that even with MOTN feedings.
5) Tell me a funny story about you and your SO/DH. Maybe not funny but I met DH in HS. He was afraid to talk to me. A mutual friend told me he wanted to GTK me but was to shy. I talked to him first, online. I am too embarassed even to say what his yahoo chat name was. ugh. But really DH and I are super lame. We are pretty boring.
1. I was, I confess, a big 98 Degrees fan. They were my favorite of the boy bands. However, I was also into "alternative," so I will put in a vote for Green Day as well.
2. After college, I moved from MI to the DC area. Since moving to this area, we have lived in 5 different places (in almost 7 years).
3. We have one dog, a 25 pound basenji mix mutt named Hobbes.
4. Morning person. If only DD didn't keep me up so late!
5. I can't think of a really good one. We did break up briefly when we were first together. During the time we were broken up, we went to Canada together with a group of friends (popular with MI college kids since the drinking age there is 19) and went to a strip club. It was just a funny vibe to be broken up and hanging out together in that setting. Anyway, in 8 days, we will mark 10 years together!

Expecting baby #2, May 8, 2015
May 2015 signature challenge for January: "You had ONE job!"
Hmmm...I really can't think of a group, but I was into Tupac and Biggie back then.
2 Have you ever moved? Where all have you lived?
I have moved A LOT. All around the city I live in, but I've lived in probably 1015 places.
3 How many pets do you have? What are they?
We have one cat named Louie. He's insane in a hilarious way.
4 Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Night owl. I am terrible in the mornings. I am getting better, but I'd still rather sleep in an stay up late.
5 Tell me a funny story about you and your SO/DH.
On our first overnight trip while we were dating we went to Nashville. We walked around and went to a bunch of bars and got hammered. We went back to the hotel and DH said he was going to run down to the front desk area to get a pop. Whole he was gone I put on my newly purchased lingerie and waited on the end of the bed....where I promptly passed out!! Then when I woke up I was puking my guts out. Lol. It was quite a memorable weekend.
For any country music fans we also saw Joe Diffy jump on stage and song a few songs at a bar when we were there!
I grew up in Woodstock, NY. When I was 21, I moved to Massachusetts on the North Shore outside of Boston. I had a son and met my husband in MA. Last summer we moved back to NY and live a town over from my hometown.
We have two cats. They are a breed called Havana Brown. I love my kitties.
I am a night owl. I am a really nasty morning person.
My husband is 13 years older than me. He doesn't look like an old guy though. His daughter and I were getting our hair done and the stylist I had wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree. My husband came in and gave me money to pay and the stylist said "Oh that's nice your dad is treating you girls to haircuts!" She thought his 13 year old daughter and I were sisters. So I got up, tongue kissed him and said "Thanks daddy!" LOL .. she looked like she was going to have a stroke.
WOW! That is quite a story! that is insane
That was a great story and I just laughed so hard my FTM bladder almost peed!
I couldn't imagine. I have always joked with DH about going to the strip club, but it has never come to fruition.
if we don't have a sense of humor what do we have?
1) What is your favorite band from the nineties (I assume we were all around in the 90's since it is 2012)? Probably Green Day
2) Have you ever moved? Where all have you lived? Grew up and went to college in the DC area (lived in Maryland, Virginia, and DC while there), then on the New Hampshire/Vermont state line for two years while DH was in grad school, now in San Diego, with no intentions to move again anytime soon!
3) How many pets do you have? What are they? 2 dogs, an 11-year-old lab/border collie mix named Josie and a 6-year-old Scottish Terrier named Burns
4) Are you a morning person or a night owl? Morning all the way! I miss making breakfast and eating it while reading the paper
5) Tell me a funny story about you and your SO/DH. This isn't really about both of us, but I think it's fun that DH was out surfing one day while I was pregnant and found a pink Mylar balloon out in the ocean that said 'It's A Girl!' We were team green and ended up having a girl.
1) oooohhh there are tons...If I had to pick one, Live.
2) I now live an hour or so from my hometown in the Finger Lakes region in NY. I have also lived in Ipswich, England; Colchester, England; Albany, NY and in the Southern tier of NY
3) 2 dogs, a Great Dane named Magnus and a Cockalier named Tank.
4) Night Owl when I was younger, less so now. I heard that happens as we age.

I was a big fan of n sync. But I was born in 90 so I think that's a pretty good excuse.

3 How many pets do you have? What are they? We have 2 cats and a dog.
4 Are you a morning person or a night owl? Morning person
5 Tell me a funny story about you and your SO/DH. DH had a romantic walk planned to propose, but I had worked a crazy 10 hour shift watching 11 3 year olds and I was tired. I fought him for 45 mins before he convinced me to go and even then I was ticked about going. When he proposed I felt like a total b!tch.
NSYNC! I can't think of much else lmao but when I was a tween I loved them.
2 Have you ever moved? Where all have you lived?
I was born, and raised in Southern New Jersey. I lived in 4 different towns there. Then I moved to Florida last May, and I'm in my 3rd place here.
3 How many pets do you have? What are they?
No pets. Insert sad face. I want another kitty! I had them all my life until I moved down here.
4 Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I was a night owl. Stay up late, sleep in... Now I sleep whenever I can.
5 Tell me a funny story about you and your SO/DH.
We always have crazy things happen to us, but can't seem to think of anything now that I need something specific.
Okay this ones alright.... Earlier this year we went to Western NY to visit his friends and family. We went to a barbeque, and a bunch of people were playing volleyball. Boys vs Girls. I was watching. The guys kicked the girls azzesssss so bad. Next game I decided to play even though I was 6 and a half months pregnant. I just stayed in one place, front and center. With me playing we blew them out. I made sure they didn't go easy on us, especially my SO, and I scored a lot of my teams points. Pregnant lady wins! Yay! I still make fun of him...
2 Have you ever moved? Where all have you llived? I've moved twice, always been in Massachusetts though. I moved out of my hometown to another town in metrowest then moved to SO's house in the south shore when I found out I was pregnant.
3 How many pets do you have? What are they? I say that I have 3 dogs but none live in my house : my parents have 2 dogs at their house, a mastiff and a boston terrier/beagle mix. The little one is technically mine but I couldn't take him away from his brother. My SO has a jack russell mix that is living with his parents right now because he is very protective and we were afraid of what he might do.
4 Are you a morning person or a night owl? Night! I have never been a morning person but I will be whatever DD will let me be now!
5 tell me a funny story about you and SO. I met SO when we were both completely wasted on new years eve at a club in Boston 4 years ago. I remember seeing him with his 2 friends right when I was walking in with my 2 friends and joking about how there were 3 for us but that they looked like complete tools. Oops! We started drunk dancing and making out which I had never done with a random person before. Who woulda thought we'd still be together and have a kid almost 4 years later?

1) What is your favorite band from the nineties (I assume we were all around in the 90's since it is 2012)? See above
2) Have you ever moved? Where all have you lived?
Have I ever. I moved from Nova Scotia, Canada, to West Virginia to be close to my now husband. Quite the transition. We lived in a few different places in WV before moving to Ohio, where we are now.
3) How many pets do you have? What are they?
I have a Lucycat and an Addycat, the former being a sweet/shy kitty, the latter being a hell spawn who lives to shred my skin.
4) Are you a morning person or a night owl?
An evening person, I guess. I get rolling around 6pm but I don't last later than 1am.
5) Tell me a funny story about you and your SO/DH.
We took a belated honeymoon to Savannah, which we could only afford because he worked at a hotel at the time and got us a killer rate of $17/night in an awesome hotel downtown. We lived cheap while we were there and saved our cash for the night we went on the haunted bar hop, and spent like we were rollin' in it. We even made up a completely fake story to this couple we ended up hanging out with that clearly had more money than us. It was awesome.
My second favorite involves a miner's hat and a hungover drive from southern WV to Bristol, TN to a hippie's family reunion that we weren't invited to but were welcomed with soooo much turkey...
Places: I lived in Indiana and now Chicago.
Pets. I have two cats. One adopted at seven weeks and one we got last year when she was 14.
I'm a not sleep person. I like being up late and getting up early.
Story. I'm really into food. Or I guess you could call me a foodie. So once when we were still dating h and I went to Cincinnati and they have this awesome public market I insisted on visiting. It's in a sketchie part of town or just near one. H took a wrong turn and ended up going down a side street which made a cop think we were there buying drugs. We got pulled over and he asked for both our IDs and asked why were in Cincinnati. We showed him our wares from our trip and he let us go. I felt like saying, "We're from Chicago! Don't you think we have our own drug dealers if we want?" We've since been there several times and I always insist on the market.
