This discussion has been closed.
Re: GTKY: 5 Random Facts
2. My parents always wanted me to be a doctor and I was accepted into med school...my desire was to become a nurse so by the time I was 20, I was a registered nurse with my first degree. ( of all things I minored in interior design!)
3. I have had 16 surgeries. C-section made number 17. First one was when I was 5.
4. I have monkey toes. I can pick up just about anything with them!
5. My parents are millionaires, though you would never know it, and I am HORRIBLE with money. My dad has always tried to teach me the ins and out of finances but I have no desire to learn it. I do not live pay check to pay check but I love shopping, maybe too much! I am going to retire a poor woman!

2. I was the captain of my high school dance company and won the best dancer senior superlative... Two kids later, I couldn't do a split to save my life. Sigh.
3. I have a huge scar running about 8 inches from above my belly button downto my pubic bone from exploratory surgery I had for paratonitis when I was 4. When I wear a bikini and bring my toddler to the pool everyone comments on my "c-section scar" (def had him vaginally).
4. I teach at the same university where I earned my bachelors and masters degrees.
5. I legit love to clean. I just hate doing it now because I only have so much time in the day and my toddler and husband are like tornadoes.

2. I have always loved animals and have owned dogs, cats, ferret, parrot, fish of all shapes and sizes, frogs, snake, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pig, gecko, and horses. I feel like I'm forgetting something. My parents and brother are NOT animal people. Sorry guys.
3. I come off as a square. People r always surprised to hear I have tattoos, piercings in the past, smoked cigs 10 years and pot longer than that. I like to keep that stuff only know to people close to me. Back when I worked in retail I never smoked at work when people would go outside to smoke.
4. I'm basically a bleeding heart liberal
5. I never wanted to get married or have kids. One day it just happened I decided I wanted kids and luckily DH decided at the same time. We got married a year later and got pregnant 3 months later. We were very lucky.

I had chicken pox when I was 2, but it was only a minor case. I had one pock mark in the middle of my back. But when I was 27, I got shingles. It was the worst!
We have a small farm with goats, chickens, and rabbits. We had a cow, but we ate him.

2) I'm obsessed with The Sims 3 for the PC. So much that I will go days without sleeping so I now try to avoid it.
3) I have OCD only when it comes to keeping my house clean and have this weird obsession of always having to have dishes in the dish rack. When DH puts all the dishes away I will pull them back out and put them back in it.
4) Ever since having DS1 I struggled with depression up until I got pregnant with DS2.
5) I have a very low self-esteem, and always thought of myself as the "ugly duckling" of the family.
6) I'm a chocoholic & shopaholic...... I seriously need help

2. I used to summer swim in the same league as Michael Phelps. Him and my brother were on the same year round team and shared a hotel room for meets.
3. I'm much more confident, but much more introverted since having kids. I'd just rather be at home.
4. I broke 2 ribs in a snowboarding accident in college. I also got lost snowboarding in Switzerland with friends, we had to hike 4 hours and then hitchhike back to the ski resort.
5. I used to think I was going to meet and marry Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I wrote him a letter and was certain he would write back. He didn't.
2. I was born in 1989, so Marilyn Manson was big when I hit my teens - I was obsessed. For example, his real name is Brian Hugh Warner, Hugh was his grandfather's name, and he was born in 1969. I still adore his music, and if I didn't feel like shit @ 8 months preg, I would've went to one of his concerts.
3. My hubs and I were each others first, but we went our separate ways and didn't get back together for 10 years. He broke off his engagement of 7? Years, and I broke off mine of 2 1/2 to get back together.
4. I graduated both high school and college with my associates with honors and a 3.7gpa.
5. Growing up, I never wanted children. LO was "made" on DH's birthday January 17th after deciding we did want kids
2. I was charged with a felony of terroristic threatening in high school for pulling the fire alarm as a prank.
3. I've had the same best friend pretty much my whole life. We went to the same babysitter, I started going when I was 2 months old, so since then I guess lol. We have never had an argument that made us stop talking to each other.
4. In the past 3 years I have become a HUGE homebody. And I really enjoy it!
5. I'm a surgical tech and sometimes during big procedures there's chunks of fat/tissue all over the place and I LOVE squishing it around my fingers. I also love the way cauterized tissue smells.

1. I attended one year of community college. I was too preoccupied with boys/moving in with DH and getting white girl wasted so I "took a year off" and never returned.
2. I started hanging with the wrong crowd and getting into a ton of trouble in middle school so my mom enrolled me to volunteer with a Horses for the Handicapped program. It made me fall in love with horses and ASL.
3. I rode horses for over 5yrs and only paid for lessons one of those years. I did lots of odd jobs around my barn for free lessons. I did a lot of shows (hunter/jumper) and frequently brought home blue ribbons, help break a stallion, ride an ex-race horse over 4ft jumps, and frequently took a horse to a park and rode him while he swam.
4. We are "half-back"ers. I was born and raised in Ill. for 8yrs, lived in S.Fl until I was 20, and am now in GA. DH is originally from NJ and we met in HS down in Fl.
5. I had a m/c at 18, lost DD1's twin at 21, and had a m/c last year. Each loss has stuck with me and hurts me just as much as when I tragically lost my uncle, grandpa, and cousin. I have a gut feeling each loss was a boy.
#5 damn.
2. I, too, was in a sorority all through college.
3. I have survived being repeatedly molested as a child by 3 separate people (one a close family member) and being raped in college. I decided I didn't want to be a statistic any more, after the rape and have worked hard to turn my life in a different direction. I am very untrusting of people, however, and I want my child to be taught to protect themselves way better than I was able to.

4. I achieved my National Board Teaching credentials a year ago in the field of special education.
5. With the birth of my son, here in Washington, we are a family that is all from the west coast. I was born in CA and my H was born in OR.
ETA: And congrats on the national boards...that's quite a feat!
The first time I got wasted, I was roofied and gang raped... I never reported it, although I had intentions to and even took photos on my laptop of all the bruises on my body (long since deleted since all they ended up doing was remind me)... I still remember their faces and dream of using a baseball bat as a drum stick on their skulls. I feel bad that I fall under the statistic that never spoke up. I will do everything in my power to protect my daughter, including teaching her to protect herself
Here goes...
1. DH and I met because a girl iny HS was impersonating me on the Internet (back in the AIM days) by using my picture but her name (without my knowledge).
2. I (not so) secretly wish Kate Middleton was my BFF.
3. There are 6 years between my older sister and I because it took 6 years of failed IVF to create me! I was then born 8 weeks early via emergency c section due to placental obtuption and a priest gave my mom last rights as they were cutting her open. She's survived but my parents stopped at 2.
4. My BS is in Dietetics but I currently work in Operations for a large privately owned fitness and wellness center.
5. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to own a dog (though I love them SO much) because I'm still not over the death of our family collie, Winnie, who died in 2008. Love her.
The spider monkey thing is cracking me up! I have made my career working at hospice. I agree that is is very rewarding. Personally I could not do what you do. I cry and have to turn the channel at those stupid Sara Mclachlan commercials about abused pets. My hats off to you!
2.)I love Disney movies
3.) I ran (in a car) from a cop when I was 16. Still ended up getting pulled over and blamed it on the guys with me and got let go with a warning.
4.) worked at a bank that was robbed 3 times in one week and that was three years ago.
5.) I was voted prom queen when I was a senior and don't know how because I was so shy and didn't talk much.

I loved being a Pk. In high school my favorite thing was to go to Pk retreat.
My dad is my bestie. Lol
You should get the cow. We loved the experience. DS learned a lot about responsibility and mostly appreciation for his food.
I have a love hate relationship with my chickens. But I love that they eat bugs in the yard and I don't have to use tons of big spray on me or DS. Over half of our chickens free range, the other 20 are our layers and they live in a big coop.

1. I won't eat fried chicken off the bone. I'll eat it if someone takes it off, but otherwise I gag.
2. I have two tattoos--one on my lower back that's a crescent moon, stars and swirly things and another on my ankle that's a cross with "sorelle" written. It means "sisters" in Italian and my sisters and I all went and got them together.
3. I've known I wanted to be a mom since I was young and used to play house with my dolls. It's even better than I imagined it. We already talk about having another, although we won't even try until she's about a year due to IVF and insurance details. However, due to my pcos, I'm not on bc right now and we're not preventing.
4. I have a two full sisters and steps siblings on each side. The stepbrother snd stepsister on my moms side are super close, don't even use the "step" to identify each other. The other side has a step sister and two step brothers and we don't even see each other, let alone call them siblings. We all went to school together and are so different and just don't mesh well.
5. I love to travel, but absolutely hate flying. I get air sick almost every time, but not from nerves. I'm not afraid, my equilibrium is off and I'm super sensitive to that and barf. It's annoying and embarrassing, although I've gotten pretty good at ninja puking--so silent, even my husband who was sitting next to me didn't know I did if! Now that's a talent
1: LOL!
2. That's amazing. And lobsters. Mind blown.
3. Okay, you're a total badass. Let's be friends lol
I knew we were meant to be when you started drinking before noon. BFF's?
