I was thinking that I don't know much about the ladies on this board and it might be fun to do a Get To Know You post. Feel free to ask more questions or make changes.
1.) Where are you from? If you don't want to say a state, just east coast, west coast or Midwest is fine.
2.) How many kids do you have? (Step and/or Bio)
3.) Favorite book?
4.) Random fact

Re: GTKY
2. One SS and one DS
3. Either the Harry Potter Series or Pride and Prejudice
4. I dated a professional athlete for almost 8 years.
1. East Coast
2. Two SKs
3. One Second After (most recent)
4. I have mild Synthesia (I taste purple for example)
2. 2 SDs, 1 DS
3. Harry Potter series and Outlander series

3.) Michelangelo and The Pope's Ceiling
4.) I'm a total Art History nerd, and almost got my Bachelor's in Art History.
Created by MyFitnessPal - Free Weight Loss Tools
P.s. @Jobalchak, I am a history nerd and love art history as well.
2.) How many kids do you have? One DS, one LO on the way
3.) Favorite book? The Cell by Stephen King
4.) Random fact. I balance my checkbook every day, if I'm off even a penny I will obsessively go back through and find my mistake
1) Florida
2) SS12, DD5 and DD11
3) I don't read very often, the last series I read was 50 Shades- don't think I've met a woman who didn't like those...lol!
4) I am a planner and have a very hard time being spontaneous, kinda sucks sometimes
2.) How many kids do you have? (Step and/or Bio) 3, ds21, dd18 and dd15, dh and I are currently trying for one together
3.) Favorite book? couldn't possibly choose one, probably something by Stephen King. I'm reading his new one now and it's pretty good
4.) Random fact We are the crazy bird family here. We have 2 cockatiels and 8 parakeets, all tame, and they have the run of the house during the daytime. 4 of the parakeets are the "babies" of two of the others. They're all light blue, and everybody thinks it's crazy that we can tell them apart.
2.) 2, one from each of us (one on the way)
3.) Dune, maybe the Tamir Trilogy by Lynn Flewelling, Dresden Files, Eragon, no, no Ghost by John Ringo. Please don't make me choose just one...
Why does Outlander sound so familiar?
4.) I think my whole life is random. Um... I think I'm a walking contradiction. I love horseback riding but listen to rock and roll. I am a tech nerd who knows about hardware, software and design but who loves to sew and craft. I enjoy military simulation/tactical games. I've been told I'm very analytical but I spend a great deal of my time immersed in creation. I used to consider myself more androgynous but the longer BH and I are together my more feminine characteristics have become dominant but I still have some traditionally masculine interests.
2. Two. DS and SS.
3. Geez, I like to read too. Too many to pick a favorite. I'm big on series so just about anything that has a sequel.
4. I grew up the biggest Tom boy in the world with all boy cousins and all brothers but now if you first met me you'd never believe it. I have an unhealthy addiction to shopping. Have more shoes, scarves, belts & jewelry than I would or could ever wear. My husband constantly thinks I've been shopping recently because he hasn't seen some of the items in so long. Not really random, most women are probably like that, but it's nothing something you'd know by my posts here. Lol
- Originally, I'm from Memphis, TN. Now I live in rural northwestern TN. City life never suited me.
2.) How many kids do you have?
- SD7yo and DS3yo (4 in December)
3.) Favorite book?
- I couldn't possibly pick. I love to read, and it kills me that I just hardly have the time to anymore. If I have to pick, I'd say it would be the "Silver Wolf" trilogy by Alice Borchardt.
4.) Random fact.
- I love animals. As in I would rather spend my days with animals than people. People get on my nerves and make me somewhat nervous. Animals make me feel perfectly at ease and comfortable.
And in relation to the conversation about pet allergies ... each animal has different dander. While dog breeds that shed less are usually easier on people who suffer from allergies, don't automatically assume that dogs of that breed will all be allergy friendly.
I am allergic to cats, but I have two and I work with them all day long. Some cats for up my allergies, while others don't bother me at all.
I hope you find a dog suited to your kids. Good luck.
- 1 SS(5), 1 DS(21m)
3.) Favorite book?
4.) Random fact
2. I have one SS (9, autism, DH has sole custody) and one DD (13 months, surprise).
3. My favorite book(a) at the moment is the Game of Thrones series.
4. I've had 14 concussions and 2 skull fractures.
I have a 3yo DD and a 6yo DS
I don't think I have a favorite book. I love to read but I haven't read much lately, and what I have read has been easy reading crap like 50 shades.
Random fact. I have a spondelolythesis. Its entirely possible I spelled that wrong but I'm too lazy to Google the correct spelling. Its a spinal condition that caused me to have to wear a hideous back brace in middle school.
2) 1 SS, 1 DS
3) I liked the Good Book. I don't think I've read a book since grad school to be honest
4) My husband and I met at a bar (on a Monday) he wasn't living in the area just visiting family and I NEVER go out unless it was a weekend but I was celebrating my new roommate moving in. In talking we found out his cousin was my new roommate and he had been visiting her but she had left the bar to pick up her friend before he walked in so we wouldn't have made the connection.:, My husband always says "we made eye contact" which gave him the courage to approach me. If we hadnt we never would have met. He left later that week to go back home (military)
.) Where are you from? If you don't want to say a state, just east coast, west coast or Midwest is fine.
Southeastern Pennsylvania
2.) How many kids do you have? (Step and/or Bio)
2 children DD is 16 and DS is 13
3.) Favorite book?
My favorite genre is children's literature. I love fairytales and folk stories.
4.) Random fact
I have met 2 people from this board in real life. I'm facebook friends with LOTS and I've been on this board for 7-8 years.
I have one child - 3 year old DD
With a crazy past 7 - 8 years i havent read much lately so I will go back to a favorite classic: To Kill A Mockingbird.
I am a country music snob. I hate 99% of what is on radio and think its crap. I love the Alt Country coming out of Texas. Its soooooo much better.
2. 2 step
3. So many. Harry Potter series is at the top. Single book, probably A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
4. I got nothing. I am so boring.
1) I am from Orange County, CA
2) One of my recent fav. books is Gone Girl
3) I met my husband on eharmony and we came this close [ ] to being in one of their commercials
2.) How many kids do you have? (Step and/or Bio) 5 kids (2 bio, 3 step)
3.) Favorite book? I can't decide. I mostly listen to books while I'm working. I've been listening to a lot of books by Jodi Picoult, Nicholas Sparks. I'm about to run out of those, but I love Audible because they have a great selection.
4.) Random fact: I'm currently obssessed with Ancestry. I stayed up 2 nights ago and traced my maternal grandfather's side back to England in the 1500s. My 3rd great grandfather was a convicted murderer who was tried at Ft. Smith. Also on that side, I am distantly related to Thomas Jefferson. His grandmother was my 10th great grandmother. I plan on tracing all sides back as far as I can go. I am stuck on one side though because one of my great grandmothers was full Cherokee but adopted so I can only find info on her adoptive family but I want to know more about the Cherokee side. Ok, sorry...nerd alert here....lol
Mised the one about the kids.. lol
4 kids total. DS-21, DD-11, SS-15, SD-7
It is such a good book! You'll love it!
Hi y'all! I'm normally just a lurker, but feel the need to play along today

2.) How many kids do you have? (Step and/or Bio) 1 SD(9)
3.) Favorite book? That's a tough one... but becuase of the kind of mood I'm in today... Girls in White Dresses (Jennifer Close)

3. With 4 kids, I barely have time to read the paper. The last book I enjoyed was The Help.

1.) Where are you from? NC
2.) How many kids do you have? Three- SD is 7, SS is 7 (twins); DD just turned 1 on Oct 1!!
3.) Favorite book? Most recently the hunger games.... It's been a while since I had time to read.
4.) Random fact. After giving birth to my dd last year it was discovered that I had gallstones. My gallbladder was removed and the following week I was in a huge amount of pain. (ALMOST worse than labor.) The hospital kept telling me the pain was normal, finally I went to the ER. They found that I had a massive infection and that I was bleeding into my abdomen. Two transfusions and TONS of medical bills later, I am doing great!
