Re: Getting to know you-Random ?'s post
I'll go first.
1. How many people did you graduate high school with?
435
2. What was your first CD?
Madonna's Immaculate Collection- my brother gave it to me for Christmas
3. What famous person did you crush on as a teen/preteen?
John Stamos, Jonathan Brandeis and Eddie Furlong
4. Best gift you've ever been given (and don't say your kids!)?
A plush warm blanket. I was 24 and it's my "blankie" now a days. I have to have it!
5. Best compliment you've ever received?
I had a random girl ask me if I had a nose job because mine looked perfect.
6. Best vacation you ever went on?
My honeymoon- to Italy.
7. What was your first car?
I learned to drive my mom's 1988 Toyota Corolla but my first car was a 1998 Geo Prizm- BRIGHT GREEN. Like the interstate Green signs!
8. Name a quality about an exboyfriend that you wish your DH/SO had or will have?
I wish he'd read. He hates reading and I'd love to be able to talk about books with him.
9. Name something about yourself that people would NOT know looking at you.
I love DIY projects! DH and I finished our basement ourselves in our last house and I learned to refinish hardwood floors with my ex!
10. If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? (FYI $100,000 because it's enough to have fun with but not enough to retire or anything!)
Spend $20-$25,000 on a new car for DH. Something fun and sporty like a used BMW Convertible that had a back seat. Then take $50,000 and put it toward the mortgage and refinance to lower our monthly payment (annoyingly responsible, right?). Take abour $3-$5,000 and go on a nice vacation. Then give DH $1,000 to blow and $1,000 for me and the rest goes into savings or some sort of CD or something. I'd blow my $1,000 on new clothes for me since my clothes are a mix mash of various sizes that are too big or too small!
1. How many people did you graduate high school with? Well... I went to a really small school for two years of high school (there were about 15 people in my class), and the remaining two years I finished out at Thomas More College earning dual credit. I didn't have a high school graduation ceremony. It would have been a class of one
2. What was your first CD? Probably something Christian... Out of the Grey I think. Or maybe a Celine Dion album. Actually, maybe Enya. lol
3. What famous person did you crush on as a teen/preteen? Devon Sawa!
4. Best gift you've ever been given (and don't say your kids!)? My MacBook Pro!
5. Best compliment you've ever received? I get a lot of compliments on my decorating skills and that always makes me feel good!
6. Best vacation you ever went on? Probably to Chicago, or Washington, D.C.
7. What was your first car? 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse
8. Name a quality about an exboyfriend that you wish your DH/SO had or will have? Maybe a little bit more romance. My DH is romantic, but usually only after I've complained that I don't feel romanced.
9. Name something about yourself that people would NOT know looking at you. I'm pregnant.
10. If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? I'd donate some of it, give some to family, go on a huge trip, buy a whole new wardrobe and buy a bigger house.
