I googled and found random questions.
The board has been slow so I thought this game would be fun.
What is your favorite book or who is your favorite author to read?
What did you want to be when you were little?
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Re: Gtky Sunday
Child future: I feel old because I can't remember
Help: definitely cleaning. I'm like a child- find something I haven't seen in forever and get distracted for hours
One meal: I say pizza and salad- so many varieties!
I'm not an avid reader but my favorite book that I've read was this lullaby or lovely bones. All I've read lately are informative books or basically an autobiography
What did you want to be when you were little? I wanted to be a teacher for a while, I definitely am not. I couldn't handle how naughty kids are and how they basically get away with it because teachers can't do anything and some parents don't believe their child is evil.....
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
Cleaning! We don't have a yard as renters now and I love cooking!
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Non pregnant me would say my favorite meal is thanksgiving dinner! All of the turkey, stuffing, cranberries, potatoes, gravy, corn, buns, pie, yummmmm
1. I love lots of books, but don't have a singular favorite. This summer I read a couple of books by Chamamanda Adichie and I really liked them--highly recommended! For humor, I love David Sedaris. For non-fiction, I really like Oliver Sacks and I'm sad he passed away.
2. Marine biologist. I was obsessed with whales, dolphins, and giant squid! I have always loved the ocean, even though I live in the Midwest now. I've already decided that boy or girl, this baby will have whales adoring the nursery.
3. Cleaning! My husband loves cooking, so we have that covered. We split yard work but our yard isn't huge. I'm seriously considering hiring a maid to dust, vacuum, and clean bathrooms once or twice before and after LO arrives. I hate cleaning!!
Edited because I forgot the last question:
4. An everything bagel with lox, cream cheese, fresh sliced tomato and red onion.
A reiki master.
Cleaning. I'm pretty good at cooking and have no yard so that narrows it down! I do hire my mom occasionally to come and clean my house.
Tacos! Hard shell only.
Also, yes to Thanksgiving. It's almost Thanksgiving, right?
What did you want to be when you were little? I basically wanted to be my mom lol I wanted to become a nurse and be just like her. Even though I ended up being her carbon copy, I'm not a nurse
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work? Omg 1000% cleaning. I hate hate hate hate it! It's so boring and I feel like as soon as I'm done, it's dirty again.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? It would probably be Mac and cheese. It's cheese and pasta, which you can't really go wrong with
Looks like all for cleaning now lol- not a shocker!!!
Mmmmm I want all of the turkey and potatoes and stuffing mmmm and lots of gravy now that I typed it all out
When I was little, I don't really remember wanting to be anything in particular. No fun answer here!
I hate cleaning and we do pay someone to help with it. Wouldn't change that.
My food preferences are skewed right now. Normally I'd pick a variety of meat and cheese plates with yummy things to pair and wine I think. Right now all I can think of is watermelon and gummy bears!
What did you want to be when you were little? I wanted to be a doctor until I hit high school. When I took an anatomy class I changed my mind, I hate memorizing and didn't want to stay i school long enough to earn and doctorate.
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work? Definitely cleaning, the others would be nice too but I detest cleaning the most.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Either spaghetti or sandwiches, if I could change the content then I would choose sandwiches.
Feb 2016 Siggy Challenge, Favorite Thing About Fall
2. I really wanted to be a scientist like my uncle.
3. Cleaning help for sure. Though if we had a yard, I'd change my answer
4. Pre-pregnancy: sushi (particularly tuna--and then I'd die of mercury poisoning, but what a tasty way to go) Now: steak tacos from Chipotle. I used to hate chipotle and now I use any excuse to go. Thanks, baby!
What did you want to be when you were little? A professional basketball player, then an accountant, then a firefighter. Never came close to any of those things haha
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work? Definitely cleaning. I like cooking and hubs does the yard (except I do the pool)
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hmmm... Any and all variations of nut butter and honey/jelly/fruit sandwiches
Dean Koontz anything.

If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
We have a yard guy since my husband is always gone but I would love a maid 1x a month!
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Fajitas
I have always wanted to do something with animals and I do!
My husband does most of the cooking and yard work, so I would have to say help cleaning! I just haven't been up to it these last couple of months.
If I could only eat one meal for the rest of my life it might be this lemon tuna pasta that my husband makes or maybe I'm just craving that right now...
I do not even know, I couldn't ever pick one book or author.

Cooking, I couldn't stand someone else cleaning my house.

Baby F.......02/02/2016

Salad varietys and ice cream!

My Ridiculous Chart
- My all time favorite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. If I had to pick a favorite author, I guess I would say Jeffrey Eugenides or Edith Wharton.
What did you want to be when you were little?
- A psychologist, not what I wanted to be when I actually grew up!
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
- Cleaning!!! I don't mind cooking and we live in an apartment, so there are gardeners who take care of our small yard already.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- pancakes, hash browns and eggs, hands down.
As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a psychiatrist. I've always had a weird fascination with psychology and how the brain works. I actually started down that path in university but lost my motivation and haven't done anything past my bachelors.
Hired help: cleaning. For sure. I follow my two toddlers all day long and still have a disaster to clean up at the end of the day. And I really, really hate having a messy house.
Food: pizza. I really think I could eat pizza everyday, it's just so good.
What is your favorite book or who is your favorite author to read?
Jennifer Fulwiler's Something Other Than God. It's amazingly honest and beautiful.
What did you want to be when you were little?
An engineer. (I was that determined little girl.) I got my civil engineering degree and realized I'd rather be a SAHM.
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
Cleaning! I'll spend the day outside working in the garden and tending to the chickens or cooking a three course meal but please don't ask me to mop or do laundry.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Sandwiches :-)
What is your favorite book or who is your favorite author to read? I love James Patterson and could read all his books! They are wonderful
What did you want to be when you were little? I always wanted to own a bed and breakfast or be a teacher; the teacher part worked out!
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work? I would have someone clean for me. I hate cleaning and frankly I am not that great at it. I love to cook and DH does yardwork. It would work out perfectly, haha
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? I would eat cereal forever because I LOVE cereal.
It completely depends on my mood. Sometimes I like a faster read like Jodi Picoult or a fluffy read like Jennifer Weiner. But I also like Jonathan Safran Foer and other random authors/books.
What did you want to be when you were little?
A vet and a cashier. Ha!
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
We do hire someone to do the yard work because I absolutely hate it and so does my SO. We also have someone help with cleaning at the house we live in, but I still also have my previous house because I haven't sold it yet and I clean that house. I hate it, so I try to just clean it a little at a time to avoid one big weekly clean. I really should just give up on it since no one even lives there, but I'm OCD. Ha. I'm hoping I can empty the house out and sell it soon so I can be rid of the chores that come with it. In terms of cooking, I don't mind it, but I don't do it too often. We eat out way too much. So, I guess all of the above. :-P
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I couldn't! I tend to get really obsessed with something (sushi and grilled chicken were my most recent obsessions) and eat it over and over. Then I get super sick of it and can't look at it for a while.
What did you want to be when you were little? A Vet. I got so far as majoring in Pre-Vet/Wildlife Sciences/Zoology in college but changed my major because I decided that I didn't want to work outside in Alabama.
If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work? Cleaning. I don't mind cooking but loathe the clean up and the dusting/scrubbing. H does the yard work.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? It feels like I've been eating nothing but pizza this entire pregnancy (oh wait, I have been) and I don't hate it yet so I guess pizza with an Icee

My ribeye steaks with roasted red potatoes and asparagus.

Fries. Well potatoes. Anyway done. (Like one PP said, assuming I wouldn't get obese or have a heart attack ). B-)

I haven't. Will have to now! I did my minor in Spanish lit and a big part of it was magical realism. Have you read the kingdom of this world by Carpentier? Amazing too.

A doctor. Too bad I faint at the sight of blood, haha. That dream died early in life for me!
Cleaning, all the way! I love to cook and we don't have a yard, just a balcony, and I love tending to my balcony garden.
Fun questions!
