I'm really trying to get to gold here and since DH will be at work late this evening, ask me anything! I'll be on after Eli goes to bed to answer them!
Do you have baby names picked out that you would never use (GP names?)
Just 1- Priya. I LOVE that name for a girl, but it's a really ethnic name and I don't think it would work great with a family of common American names.
And, I can't use any name that ends in a double N since it rhymes with my last name. Which sucks because I love Flynn for a boy.
If you have another boy, will you have Eli and #2 share a room?
Probably not, but mostly due to space issues. Eli's room is too small to hold 2 beds and since we plan on having another sooner than later, I can't see doing bunk beds at this early age.
BUT - our basement is set up in an apartment style so if I have another boy and they want to move their rooms to the basement, I'd be fine with them sharing.
I will probably do allowance by way of a chore chart or something similar. They won't just get money weekly just because, but I will offer it as an incentive for doing their chores and doing well in school.
Yup, I trot around my house daily in them! Lol. J/k. I wore them more often when I worked but it's pointless now that I SAH. I do wear them out when we have date nights though.
What would you have been voted as in High School (most popular, shyest, etc)?
That's hard... I wasn't with the most popular kids, but I had a lot of friends. Probably most involved or club-a-holic since I did a lot of things. (Band, Robotics, Key Club, Art Club, Yearbook Club, Academic Achievers)
73. "The best number is 73. 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror
(37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying 7 and
3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001." - Dr. Sheldon Cooper; Big Bang Theory
Lol.
In all reality I have two. 13 for my original anniversary date and 18 for my birthday.
Probably my senior year. We had a rough time with him being in college and me still in high school. but towards graduation we just reconnected and it was like we fell in love all over again. It just took him another 6 years to realize it!

Where did you meet DH?
We met my 10th grade year of HS at summer band camp.
Do you have baby names picked out that you would never use (GP names?)
Just 1- Priya. I LOVE that name for a girl, but it's a really ethnic name and I don't think it would work great with a family of common American names.
And, I can't use any name that ends in a double N since it rhymes with my last name. Which sucks because I love Flynn for a boy.
Do you have siblings? If yes, did you ever share a bedroom?
Yes, I have 1 half brother. No we didn't. He's 7 years older than me and he split his time between his mom's house and ours.
If you have another boy, will you have Eli and #2 share a room?
Probably not, but mostly due to space issues. Eli's room is too small to hold 2 beds and since we plan on having another sooner than later, I can't see doing bunk beds at this early age.

Will you give an allowance to your kids?
I will probably do allowance by way of a chore chart or something similar. They won't just get money weekly just because, but I will offer it as an incentive for doing their chores and doing well in school.
Do you wear high heels regularly?
Yup, I trot around my house daily in them! Lol. J/k. I wore them more often when I worked but it's pointless now that I SAH. I do wear them out when we have date nights though.
Leggings - pants or fashion faux pas?
Leggins are cool when they are worn properly with a longer style shirt or dress. Leggings AS pants is a fashion faux pas to me.
Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
Too funny! There was a thread discussing this a few weeks back!
The answer for me is Chicken.
What would you rather eat, chicken or eggs?
I like both, but I rather eat chicken.
Where would you live if money and family weren't considerations?
Somewhere near a beach. Probably NC or Florida. Arizona is a consideration too.
How many fingers am I holding up?
4 and 1 thumb.

Lol.
In all reality I have two. 13 for my original anniversary date and 18 for my birthday.
How do you spend your free time (ha!)?
I play around on FB, TB and Instagram. I read and sew. I like being crafty but that requires A LOT of time and energy and I don't have a lot of both.
When did you know DH was the one?
Probably my senior year. We had a rough time with him being in college and me still in high school. but towards graduation we just reconnected and it was like we fell in love all over again. It just took him another 6 years to realize it!
What do you like to smell?
My armpits? Lol.
I'm not quite sure what the answer is your looking for but my favorite scent is classic vanilla and I like having candles around my house.
When was the last time you ate pineapple?
Yesterday actually. Eli was eating it so I had a bowl with him.
What was your favorite toy as a kid?
My Mickey and Minnie kitchen set!
Where would you rather go--a rich country but you have no money or a poor country and you have a ton of money?
Poor country with a lot of money.
Do you go to church on Sundays?
No, I don't. I haven't been a member of a church in a long time.
What was your favorite year in high school?
My junior year. DH was still in HS with me and it was cool to date a "senior". Lol.
Do you follow football in the winter?
Yup!! I follow my high school alma mater, Ohio State (O-H!) and Green Bay.
What was your first pet?
A golden retriever, Rosie.
Who was your first best friend?
Kristine - she's still my best friend today! We met in Kindergarten.
Worst movie you've ever seen?
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, which happens to be DH's favorite movie.
Worst book you ever read?
Twilight? Lol. I got caught up in the series but realistically it's poorly written and borderline boring.
If you have control of the remote, what is your favorite show to watch?
Big Bang Theory
What were your high school's colors?
Black, Gold and White
I love these questions.
Do you like your name? If you could change your name to anything, what would it be?
What is one thing you would change about your dh?
Eh. It's alright. Classic 80's Jessica. I don't know what I'd change my name to. Just something a little less popular.
Just one? That's all I get?! Lol.
I'd want him to be more emotional. I'm not saying he has to cry at girly movies or anything, but a little more caring and romantic would be nice!
Sadly, I was holding up two fingers, no thumb...but 73 is the best number!
Great episode!
