Tell us 2 non-TTC related facts about yourself!
1. My BF and my BFF are named Chris and Kris (male, female). It gets highly irritating when they're in the same room and I'm trying to talk to one of them. They both answer.
2. I work 3 jobs right now. My full time job, I tutor an autistic boy 10 hrs a week and I work for a Real Estate agent as his assistant / admin.

Re: s/o Real Lives
1) I'm a NICU RN, which I absolutely love, but it can be the hardest, most painful career I can imagine.
2) I have 5 cats....they are my babies.
1. My now husband and I lived across the hall from one another freshman year in college. I was there early for cheerleading and he was there early for band. I still called him "that band geek" to my friends for at least two months after we started secretly hooking up.
2. I seriously have no IRL friends that live less than four hours away. I'm pathetic.
1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE moose! If I could have one as a pet I would.
2. It's my birthday tomorrow not really looking forward to it but it's the second thing that came to mind.
1. I really love romance novels, and read them all the time. I need a little smut in my day, what can I say?
2. Um...I got to purple belt in karate when I was 12 before I blew out my knee? I don't know, I think I have told you all everything!
1. I was an Irish Step Dancer for 10 year. (Think Riverdance, but more traditional.)
2. I write a wine blog.

1. I'm Kari, my FIL is Kerry so we have the exact same name...well except for middle names
2. I'm an x-ray technologist
1. I have two cats, Sahara and Jasmine. The little one, Jasmine, sleeps everynight curled in my arms
2. I am a big Sci-fi/fanasy nut. One of the things DH and I have in common
1. I met my husband because I used to date his room mate. I met his room mate because I dated his friend. I rule.
2. I have two college degrees from the University of Dayton in Ohio. I bartend. Once again, I have the ability to make fun of myself and say... I rule.
1. I am a nurse. I do administrative type stuff for a campus that has SNF, ALF, HH/H, and LTAC.
2. DH and I met at our church. He was interested from the get-go, but it took me a while to come around. We became best friends, and he kept nagging my best gf about whether I would ever be interested. Good thing he didn't lose patience!
1. I went to three different elementary schools, two different junior highs and two different high schools, but I was not a military kid.
2. I have a 12 year old half brother - my only sibling.
1. ?My DH and I met while working in Disney World. ?That may sound "romantic" to some, but we worked in the parking lot, which I find to be the exact opposite of romantic.
2. ?I have two dogs- Moose and Gus. ?Moose is a 15 pound Cairn Terrier/Pomeranian mix. ?I had him before I moved in with DH, so he sometimes (ok, often) gets treated better than my DH does. ?Gus is a 75 pound lab/chow mix and is a huge teddy bear. ?They are my fur babies and I don't know what I'd do without them!
Ever wondered if your husband's friends are just waiting around for their turn?
1) I would do anything for my friends, including decorate my BFF's baby room a few weeks ago and had my DH build the crib (the crib I bought so we could have matching cribs) even though it stung. We were due together and well she just had her baby a couple of days ago. I also did the good bff thing and went up to the hospital the day he was born to hold him for an hour. I thought it would be hard but it was actually nice.
2)I do way more things with my DH than I ever thought possible or that I would ever do in my life including but not limited to hunting, fishing, ice fishing, quading, snowmobiling. I go to every single hockey game he has like a good little wife including the ones that are an hour and a half away like tomorrow night after work, we will end up getting home close to midnight and I get up at 5:30 for work. Oh and I should add that I love every moment, we have so much fun together.
I second this!!
1. I skipped a grade in middle school yet later dropped out of college to "find myself" for a year. I feel they cancel each other out. My mother did not see it that way though, ha ha.
2. I broke my nose by kneeing myself in the face while high jumping. I am so awesome.
1. My husband is a doctor, money is great but he's never home. People think it's glamourous, but when you spend day 6 of 13 by yourself you begin to think otherwise.
2. I love to cook, LOVE it.
1. My DH and I were high school sweethearts. We have been together for over 9 years.
2. I sing.
1. I watch As the World Turns online at work during my lunch.
2. I love the outdoors - cycling, kayaking, hiking. I just like seeing different scenery that many won't make the effort to get to.
This is flame free, right?

1) I have an AAS in Surgical Technology that I don't intend to use, I'm a bartender instead....still. I'm looking into to going to nursing school.
2) I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. It's amazing that I don't weigh a million pounds!
OMG! This describes me exactly. I swear this is almost word for word what I feel!
1.) I kiss my dogs more than I kiss DH.
2.) Sometimes I enjoy a little road rage. It gets my frustrations out.
1. My nails are really flimsy and always peel.
2. My favorite fruit is raspberries, followed closely by every other berry.
1) I'm trying to study for my CPA exam, but TTC has me preoccupied and distracted. I have 2 parts to pass and can't seem to get motivated for the life of me!
2) I have to have dessert everyday, my dessert of choice right now is a chocolate chip paradise pie from Chilis. DH gets me one every day!
Haha, I just said I had to kiss a few frogs before I found my prince! We are all actually still really good friends and have been in all of each others weddings.
1. Dh and I lived in vegas for 2 years, we got engaged and married during our time there.
2. I can't have my food touching on a plate, don't know why. My sister is the same way and dh makes fun of us.

my blog
1. I have only ever been with my DH, we met when we were 15, and have been married since we were 21.
2. I really want people to like me and will go out of my way for anyone. Even if they walk all over me, I will continue to do anything for them because I feel like I have to to be a good person....it's a really bad thing.
I really enjoy working in the yards/flower beds. Pulling weeds is like therapy for me. I only wish I had time to enjoy it.
I am a teacher and really wish that our summer vacation was not during the hottest months of the year- June and July. I really wish summer was during April and May. How nice would that be. Hard to enjoy your "vacation" when you dont even want to go outside.
I haven't lived in the same house for more than two years in my entire adult life. I'm so ready to settle but I don't see DH and I settling in one home for another few years.
I have to dip my very well done hamburgers in ketchup instead of putting it on the patty.
Good question, btw.
1. I'm a lawyer. It took me four years to finish law school (thanks Hurricane Katrina) and I conditioned the bar exam the first time and had to sit for two sections a second time and passed that go round. I like to say I took the long route to get to my final destination.
2. I named my cocker spaniel Boo after Boo Radley from To Kill A Mockingbird. No one gets it, EVER. A vet tech once asked me if I named him Boo because I like Halloween so much. I am distraught schools these days have stopped requiring this book, it's great!
1. I am a total "june cleaver" kind of wife. I do all the cooking, cleaning, taking care of stuff, make everyone happy, only works when the kid is at school or in bed, bakes for the bake sale kinda wife and I get seriously stressed out if DH does any of *my* jobs. A bit OCD much?
2. I love creating stuff in photoshop. In the past 4 weeks, I've even done 4 birth announcements and just finished up a baby shower invite. I'm half bitter and half overly emotional wtih joy for other women.

This Momma's Journey
~Today I am pregnant and I love my baby~
1) I thought my dad was Phil Collins for the first several years of my life. No joke. He was a radio DJ and one of my earliest memories is someone saying to me "Your dad is on the radio." There must have been a Phil Collins song on at the time, so I connected the two. Also, if I squint they sort of look similar.
2) DH is a Classical Archaeologist - he can be gone for weeks at a time now and then but I've been to Italy several times witih him already. I work in museums, so we always joke that he finds it and I put it away again.
1. I hate fruit. Hate it. I love veggies, though. I would pick a bowl of brussel sprouts over a bowl of strawberries any day. The only time I will eat fruit is apple pie or banana bread.
2. My DH and I met on a blind date, and it was the 2nd worst date I ever went on. I turned down a second date with him to stay home and watch The Ten Commandments on TV. Our friend who introduced us encouraged me to give him a second chance, and things obviously went better. Unbeknownest to me at the time, though, he didn't want to go out with me again, but Michelle kept bugging him to give me another shot. She's a pushy little matchmaker, but she knows what she's doing.
1. I have four cats and one dog.
2. I volunteer at an animal shelter once per week.
1. I am an ex-opera singer. I actually have a degree in Vocal Performance.
2. I love to read and am OBSESSESSED with my new Kindle. I never thought I would enjoy reading electronically, but I was wrong! I still buy duplicates of my fave books though
1. I dye my eyelashes. I am a redhead so my lashes are virtually clear. If I don't dye them you won't see them.
2. I live in metro DC but would love to move to a farm somewhere with a lot of land.
1. I skipped my junior year of high school.
2. I do a lot of "random acts of kindness." I've donated to Kindermourn in honor of babies lost on the nest. I've sent meals to people I don't know when they are dealing with hardship. The most recent is a "greeting card drive" for my neighbor's little girl. She is 5 and was diagnosed with a rare and agressive form of Leukemia on New Years Eve. She can't have lots of guests because her immune system is shot, but she loves receiving cards. I contacted everyone I know and they are sending her "get well" cards.
It helps balance out some of the rotten things I do
