Re: GTKY: Random Questions
2. If you could go back in time, when/where would you go? I would go back to when my Granny was my age. She was awesome, and I'd love to know what she was like back then, to share parenting info, and just to chat.
3. Do you have any hidden talents? I can paint a room without taping off any trim and most times I can make a pretty damn straight line with just my paintbrush, no touch ups necessary.
4. Do you know anyone in jail? Not currently. My BIL's dad was in jail for a few years, but eventually was found not-guilty during his appeal, so he's home again. For the record, I don't think he killed her.
5. If you had to, what family member would you kill off and why? To make this harder, they have to be blood related, no IL's (or I have a feeling we all know who'd be the first to go!). Having asked this, I now don't want to answer it!! I'd say my uncle, my dad's only full blood brother (he's got quite a few halves). He's arrogant, he whistles for his wife, and he called his teenage daughter a whore because her nails were too long.
6. How many of the US states (or Canadian provinces, for those north of the border) have you stepped foot in? States: 10 States, one Canadian province.
7. Your house is on fire. Name the three things you take out with you (assume family members and pets are all safe). My special box (a collection of family heirloom/special stuff from my childhood), my necklace tree as there are several special necklaces hanging on it, and my purse because getting all new cards is a bitch.
8. Do you have any phobias? I have a severe dislike of heights. Not sure it counts as a phobia, but it's pretty damn close.
9. Where is your bloodline originally from? England. My dad's family came over on the Mayflower. My mom's family came over with...my mom.
10. If you could redo one room in your home (not the nursery, that's too easy), which room would you do? My kitchen/dining room (yay for open floor plans, two for the price of one!). The floor sucks balls, there isn't enough storage space, and the cabinets/counters don't match right. I want a pretty kitchen that contains all the things!

5. If you had to, what family member would you kill off and why? To make this harder, they have to be blood related, no IL's (or I have a feeling we all know who'd be the first to go!)
This may not count but my dad ( who raised me from 2 years old but not biological, so step dad I guess) he's an ass. Can't think of anyone else.
6. How many of the US states (or Canadian provinces, for those north of the border) have you stepped foot in? States = 5. Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona.

Pictures of wedding, mom and babies

10. If you could redo one room in your home (not the nursery, that's too easy), which room would you do? The family/living room.

3. Do you have any hidden talents? I can burp the ABC's
4. Do you know anyone in jail? Not currently
5. If you had to, what family member would you kill off and why? To make this harder, they have to be blood related, no IL's (or I have a feeling we all know who'd be the first to go!) This goes against my nature to even think like this... but I guess in case of a zombie attack, I would use my older brother as food. He's super intelligent but would be useless in an emergency situation.
6. How many of the US states (or Canadian provinces, for those north of the border) have you stepped foot in? 21 states and 1 province
7. Your house is on fire. Name the three things you take out with you (assume family members and pets are all safe). Phone and wallet... can't think of a 3rd thing. Our important documents are in a fireproof safe.

9. Where is your bloodline originally from? I'm a little bit of everything, Native American, Irish, and Dutch are a few that I know.

2 - 1920's Paris... like, in Midnight in Paris. I want to hang out with Hemingway.
3 - When not pregnant, I can hold some pretty crazy flexible yoga poses.
4 - Nope.
5 - Oh I couldn't.
6 - 16 states... 2 provinces?
7 - Pictures, my purse, jewelry
8 - I can get a little claustrophobic.
9 - Italian descent
10 - At this point... the downstairs bathroom. We moved in a few years ago and have done a lot of work a little at a time and almost everything has been changed to where we are happy... but I'd make that 1/2 bath a full, put a vent in, change the floor, put in all new fixtures.
Unless I could do work outside as an option. I want a door out the back and a stone patio put in, then I'd make the side deck into a mudroom. I'd do that first.
2. If you could go back in time, when/where would you go? Hollywood in the 1930's Golden Age
3. Do you have any hidden talents? I'm pretty good at crafting and I throw a mean party.
4. Do you know anyone in jail? I don't think so.
5. If you had to, what family member would you kill off and why? To make this harder, they have to be blood related, no IL's (or I have a feeling we all know who'd be the first to go!) Hmmm...probably my dad. He has brought a lot of pain to a lot of people, myself included. And given that I haven't spoken to him in 15 years I wouldn't miss him being in my life.
6. How many of the US states (or Canadian provinces, for those north of the border) have you stepped foot in? 17 states
7. Your house is on fire. Name the three things you take out with you (assume family members and pets are all safe). Laptop (pics), phone (pics), and the pearl necklace DH gave me our first Christmas together, that I also wore at our wedding

9. Where is your bloodline originally from? My mom's family came over in the 1600's from England and ended up marrying several Cherokees and other Europeans along the way to me. No idea on dad's family, but my maiden name is German, so I'll assume they're from there!
10. If you could redo one room in your home (not the nursery, that's too easy), which room would you do? Our master bedroom/bathroom. Both need some serious overhauling that is probably not going to be done anytime in the near future.
BFP #2 9/28/13....EDD 6/7/14
2. If you could go back in time, when/where would you go? That's a good question. I'm not really sure. It would kind of be cool to go back to the Jurassic Era and see the dinosaurs in person. 3. Do you have any hidden talents? Not really, but I know a lot of science facts.
4. Do you know anyone in jail? no
5. If you had to, what family member would you kill off and why? My Dad. The older I get the more I realize how much of a selfish prick he really is.

10. If you could redo one room in your home (not the nursery, that's too easy), which room would you do? Kitchen. We just bought a house but I am really not a fan of the builder grade cabinets, the color of the cabinets, or the granite countertops (I'd prefer quartz).
