New to the board and saying hello

melody921 · February 2014

Just wanted to say hi since I haven't posted her consistently in the past. I hang out almost exclusively on S12. As you can see from my ticker, I also have a little man turning 4 tomorrow. Ask me anything, and I'll try to follow your rules :-p

Hello!

EVA116 · February 2014

Did you child go throught the terrible three's? Is it getting better now that he is turning 4?

Do you like Sherlock?

Has having two kids gotten easier as your DD got older?

Hey girl, hey :x Welcome to the dark side.

Thanks! When I see your screen name, I think of an obstacle with the same name that was part of a mud run I did last year.

I wouldn't call it terrible, but we went through a rocky patch from 2.5 to 3.5 or so. I think it's partly linked to the fact that he was 2.5 when DD was born and partly just to his strong personality. He is an awesome little guy now and generally keeps us wildly entertained with his stories.

I'm sorry to say my Sherlock knowledge is very limited, so it seems unfair to even say "no."

Yes, it has gotten SO much easier now that DD isn't a tiny baby. I was recalling this time last year when DH went on a 3-week business trip, and I thought I was going to lose my mind trying to handle both of them on my own.

Did it involve hay? Just taking an educated guess here.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what non-food/water item would you want with you? What person? If you could have one item AND one person, would your answers change at all?

My Kindle and DH. And no, I don't think they'd change.

Is fruit acceptable in desserts? Nuts?

Fruit, yes: pie, strawberry shortcake, certain trifles. I prefer no nuts, unless it's pecan pie.

LOL, yes, stacked hay bales we had to climb over. No mud on that particular obstacle.

What foods are acceptable vehicles for ketchup? (I'm clearly asking the important questions here)

Meatloaf. French fries, sometimes, although I prefer vinegar or ranch dressing. I'm not a big ketchup person.

Where are you from (this must be a regional thing). I'm in NE and I never understood the whole vinegar with your fish and chips thing

Grew up in NJ, now I live in PA, which is where I first saw someone put vinegar on fries.

Welcome! Glad to hear 3.5 is a turning point.

Are you a summer or winter Olympic person, if either?

We have no cable, so neither this year. But, normally I'd say winter, although I do like to watch gymnastics in summer.

What kind of music do you like?

melody921 · February 2014

EVA116 said:

Many kinds -- love both country and pop, although I prefer true country, not crossover. Billy Joel is in his own category of fabulousness. I have a soft spot for classical from years of playing the violin.

What's your stance on eggs over-easy? (Dippy eggs, colloquially speaking)

I like them. I also ate them while pregnant, which apparently is not advisable, according to some people on TB.

I played the clarinet. We could start a band.

Best book you've ever read? Favorite children's book?

Oooh, so hard to choose one, but I love everything by Jodi Picoult. If we're going classic, I'm a Shakespeare fan and would probably choose "Hamlet."

I love "On the Night You Were Born," but have a ton of kid faves too.

I played violin for years, too (almost 12 years), and Billy Joel's my favorite!

Then you're obviously awesome! Billy Joel fans unite!
