Thought we need something fun and not totally baby focused. Let's get to know each other a little better

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)?

How are you different now?

Night owl or early bird?

What would be your last meal?

Any hidden talents?

Where is your dream vacation?

And share a pic of your LO!

superToots · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? I was a matching band geek. And I loved every minute of it! I played flute.

How are you different now? I still feel geeky, but my friends tell me other wise. I taught preschool before being a SAHM.

Night owl or early bird? Early bird. It's magical when I wake up before the kids and get HOT coffee in peace

What would be your last meal?
Chicago style pizza, homemade chocolate chip cookies and a dark chocolaty beer.

Any hidden talents? I'm not sure why I put this question, I'm not sure I have an answer. I guess I can built a pretty good campfire, and can use most power tools without any problem.

Where is your dream vacation?
Ireland

lovelyday39 · September 2013

Brain/artist/drama geek

I have a lot more confidence and put up with a lot less shit

Night owl turned into an early bird by LO

A large Italian feast, French pastries and a bourbon chaser

I've recently taken up painting again

Really want to take a trip to Paris & Turks and Caicos

melissad23 · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? mostly nerdy

How are you different now? not as quiet, but still definitely more introverted than extro

Night owl or early bird? Used to be early bird. Being a hairstylist and not having to get up early, I got away from that. but now after DD, I'm returning to more of my morning-person status

What would be your last meal? anything mexican. chips, queso guac, etc And topped off with some Bluebell ice cream

Any hidden talents? I have a crazy photographic memory which annoys the crap out of DH. But, it does come in handy when trying to remember specifics about different clients

Where is your dream vacation? Greece. DH has been once after high school - he still has some relatives there.

And share a pic of your LO! This was DH, Maddie and I during our picnic this afternoon.

Mommymorticia · September 2013

Who were you in high school? I did homeschooling but I was a nerd/artist.

How are you different now? Not different from those "interests" but I am completely different as far as maturity and intelligence goes. I feel like I'm a completely different person than I was even at 21.

Night owl or early bird? I can and have done both. I prefer to be up early/during daytime but I have done the stay up till 6AM, sleep till 3PM thing.

What would be your last meal? Oh..mmm probably a really fantastic coconut milk red curry with rice and my grandma's thanksgiving stuffing. And my Pb&j cupcake for dessert. All of that together kind of sounds gross.

Any hidden talents? Abstract painting, cooking, and I have a talent for sending my arrows underground practicing archery, I guess it's better than aiming too high...

Where is your dream vacation? Egypt

ClandestineX · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)?

-I hung out with anyone really. I was a loner for the most part but I did have friends. My regular hang outs were with goths and skaters. I was one of 3 "black people", I put that in quotes because I am only half black.

How are you different now?

-I am still pretty much the same in terms of my taste, more 'skater' type of clothing. My favorite colors are black/red. I have tats and still have piercings. Uh.. I like school work now. I love to go to class now. I am more laid back than I was, but I still know what I want/want done.. just now I am not as abrasive in how I get it or how I get my point across.

Night owl or early bird?

-I have always been a night owl. I hate mornings unless I am up all night and watch sunrises, which I love doing.

What would be your last meal?
-Pizza

Any hidden talents?

-I have great hand/eye coordination, always have, but since I was obese as a child and never played sports other than in PE, I could never use it to become someone... so I use it in games and driving pass assholes who stop in the middle of a street before turning onto another street.

Where is your dream vacation?

-Japan, Ireland, and Alaska

And share a pic of your LO!

-Here is a throwback of him at a week old.

tondraluv · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? Homecoming court Princess, Winter princess, ASB Social Affairs Commissioner, Senior Dance captain

How are you different now? I care way less what others think. I hung out with the popular crowd back then & got a lot of slack for joining ASB and "nerdy" stuff like that. Funny thing is those "nerdy" things got me in college & I still talk to the "nerds"

Night owl or early bird? Night owl

What would be your last meal? A Filet minion & DH's homemade scallops with an aloe water. Also cake batter for desert.

Any hidden talents? I can twist my body until a pretzel, well that was pre pregnancy. I haven't tried it since then lol

Where is your dream vacation? Italy.....we we're actually planning a two week trip for December of last year but my morning sickness (all day sickness) was horrible. Sorry I can't space my answers, stupid iPad update.

NicoleSB80 · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? Geeky athlete.

How are you different now? Not much of an athlete anymore.

Night owl or early bird? Night owl. Hate mornings

What would be your last meal? A Thai feast.

Any hidden talents? I think I'm a pretty amazing cook when time allows.

Where is your dream vacation? One of those little huts that sit above the water. Bora bora or Figi I think.

And share a pic of your LO! Happy baby this afternoon.

tondraluv · September 2013

@clandestinex I know what being one of very few "black" people is like. That is until I moved to So Cal

Lhyacinth888 · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? None of the above? Token white girl maybe? Lol. I kept my head down and just tried to make it out in one piece.

How are you different now? I'm more outgoing but still reserved. I'm not as fearful anymore but have definitely been brought up to be aware and watch my back.

Night owl or early bird? Neither. I like 10am.

What would be your last meal? Mmm. Tough one. All you can eat crab legs with a side of steak with a red wine mushroom sauce. And then a whole box of the Birthday Cake Oreos.

Any hidden talents? I can touch my nose with my tongue and can put both of my feet behind my head.

Where is your dream vacation? Any deserted beach. Weather low 80s and awesome food.

wendalsue · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)?
I was a cheerleader, but mostly a big partier. My drinking ended up causing me a LOT of problems at an early age.
How are you different now?
I don't drink at all, and I can't stand any of that "popular" crowd that I knew in high school. I have raised my 13 yr old to be a much more reserved, artist type.
Night owl or early bird?
NIght owl all the way.
What would be your last meal?
Cake with whipped icing and a glass of milk.
Any hidden talents?
I'm really good at billiards, but that was something I did when I was drinking and hanging out in bars all of the time. I could get a table for my house, but I just don't enjoy it as much when I'm sober, and I'm not as good. I'm just being honest..lol.
Where is your dream vacation?
I would love to visit a tropical island. I've never been outside of the continental US, Canada, and Mexico.

lyankowi · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? I was in the color guard and the venture crew (the coed part of boy scouts) but more shy and a loner.

How are you different now? I care less what people think. I am a derby girl so I found my way of making completely new different friends

Night owl or early bird? I was more of a night owl but preferred classes/appointments in the morning so I would get up. LO is making me a morning person no matter what.

What would be your last meal? a meal from Takoka and my moms gooey butter cake for dessert.

Any hidden talents? I can still do the splits

Where is your dream vacation? Ireland

I was definitely the shy girl. Everyone talked to me but I had few friends and just tried to keep to myself.

Australia.

ceamac0127 · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? Athlete all the way

How are you different now? I went from being a loud outgoing kid to a quiet introverted adult. Still very active though

Night owl or early bird? neither. early to bed , late to rise is my perfect day but for the sake of picking one it would be early bird

What would be your last meal? it would definitely be something homestyle, nice and fatty. that i've been too afraid to eat my whole life because of the fat and calories

Any hidden talents? I have a very on point monkey call. its scary how much it sounds like a monkey

Where is your dream vacation? the maldives

this is why I start taking the monthly pictures the week before:

zipscheer07 · September 2013

I was a cheerleader and played softball all 4 years.

Im still the same person. Outgoing but can be shy and put family first. I just added hubby, baby girl and dogs!

Neither but if I had to choose then night owl. I hate getting up!

My last meal would be Chinese. I love General Tso Chicken!!

I don't have any hidden talents that I can think of!

My dream vacation was Hawaii and I finally got to go there last year!

Here is Anya at 3 months. Im on my work computer and haven't uploaded any new ones on here!

ChicagoBroad26 · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)?

My high school was unique in that the different groups mixed a lot. Also I was an overachiever: I was prom queen, captain of my tennis and soccer teams, president of the service club and in show choir and all the musicals.

How are you different now?

I'm more laid back. I was really intense back then and, like I said, an overachiever. Now I'm content being really "into" one or two things and focusing on those instead of being the best at everything.

Night owl or early bird?

Early to bed, late to rise, in an ideal world.

What would be your last meal?

Grilled cheese and tomato soup, and a medium filet mignon.

Any hidden talents?

This is weird but I'm really efficient. Like, if you gave me a hundred envelopes to stuff, I'd be done in 10 minutes. I worked a marketing job in college where we had to do tons of mass mailings and I'd always finish before my co-workers. I'd be an excellent assembly line worker

Where is your dream vacation?

My favorite place I've been is Lanai, Hawaii. The place I'd love to go is the Greek Islands to visit H's cousins and spend a week or so on their boat exploring different beaches.

And share a pic of your LO!

Just for fun, here's a throwback pic of Ava.

lilbit0910 · September 2013

Who were you in high school (cheerleader, nerd, athlete, artist, etc.)? I was part of the "popular clique".

(

What would be your last meal? Seafood Fest. I am obsessed with shrimps, fish, lobster, crab and anything from the ocean.

Any hidden talents? nope! i am not creative or crafty or anything LOL

Where is your dream vacation? Greece/Italy
