    1) Pet Peeve: I have many, but the one I deal with on almost a daily basis is when people are in an exit lane on the interstate and realize last minute and try get out of it.  There are several signs starting at a mile before the exit...read the signs and figure it out.

    2) A Bad Habit you have: I have a habit of jokingly mocking DH.  I don't know why I do it.  Poor guy.

    3) Something You're Really Good At: I'm really good at being a social worker and calligraphy.

    4) Something You're Really Bad At: I'm not musically inclined.  I try, but it just doesn't come easily to me.  I really wanted to learn the banjo so DH bought me one last year for Christmas and I started banjo lessons shortly after. Its just hard for me which is frustrating because DH is a musician and makes it look so easy.  He can play anything you throw at him.

    5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Non-alcohol is chocolate milk.  Alcoholic is a really strong, top shelf margarita.

    6) Something you do that annoys SO: He gets a little annoyed when I mock him, and I'm sure leaving my make up compacts and bobby pins all over the bathroom counter annoys him too.

    7) Something SO does that annoys you: Instead of taking the time to throw an empty food package, pop can, or beer bottle away (trash can is in the garage right off the kitchen) he'll set it on the kitchen counter. Like, really? 

    8) Something you want to work on personally: I need to work on my anxiety issues.  Some of them are so stupid but I can't get past it. 

    9) Current/Last Book you read: This is bad but I don't even know.  I don't read much at all.  It was probably Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.

    10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I'm insecure about almost everything, but I think I'm realllllly good at hiding it.

  • 1) Pet Peeve: People who don't use turn signals.  Ugh its not that hard.  

    2) A Bad Habit you have:  When I get stressed I bite my nails.  I was doing so good for the last couple months, but the last couple days got me. 

    3) Something Your Really Good At: Cooking, or Throwing a party I love to go all out with the decorations and coordinated drinks/snacks

    4) Something You Really Bad At: Keeping up on the laundry.  We both have alot of clothes, but we make so much laundry its ridiculous.  

    5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not):  Wine.  Since TTC I find myself enjoying it even more knowing that I (hopefully) won't be soon. 

    6) Something you do that annoys SO: I never put away all of my clothes in my closet, there is always something that is sitting on the chair.

    7) Something SO does that annoys you: DH will always rinse his dishes throughout the day, but won't put them in the dishwasher.   I honestly just figure that it could be so much worse, I just do it when I come home.   But when he is helping clean up from dinner he will load the dishwasher without a second thought. 

    8) Something you want to work on personally: Running late or right down to the wire.  I'm never early for something no matter how much time I give myself. 

    9) Current/Last Book you read: Before I Go   Keep the tissues close if you read this one. 

    10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you?  I have a CDL for driving a semi-truck.  We owned one for a while and I wanted to learn, so my DH taught me. I always get funny looks for it when I have to show my ID because I'm pretty girly, but I just don't like not knowing how to do something.

    Yes! That's one of DS's favorites. We can't read it at bedtime, though, because it makes him all crazy. He enjoys it that much. That would be a great gift.

  • @addyplusone I make a lot of lists.  When we were packing/preparing for our big move in August my husband would annoy me to no end by writing "Make a list" "Cross it off" on all of my carefully crafted, detailed notes. 
  • Lol @housewifehobbyist that's too funny. I've tried making lists, which helo. It is just sticking to them.

  • @housewifehobbyist I like your husband's sense of humor. Sometimes I like to add items I have already done to my to-do list just so I can cross them off and feel accomplished. 


  • 7) Something SO does that annoys you: Instead of taking the time to throw an empty food package, pop can, or beer bottle away (trash can is in the garage right off the kitchen) he'll set it on the kitchen counter. Like, really? 



    My DH does this too! Drives me crazy! I swear if I put the recycling bin where he leaves his recycling, he'd find a different spot to leave his empty beer bottles.

    hey, if there is some class going on, count me in. I started it a few months ago but haven't picked it back up in a few weeks....

  • 1) Pet Peeve: Oh, where do I begin? Bad grammar, friends and family being tardy, people chewing with their mouths open, people with no manners...to name a few.

    2) A Bad Habit you have: Picking my nose, man. And I am a constant worrywart.

    3) Something You're Really Good At: Planning. I've planned 5 weddings so far (including my own) from start to finish. I love it. Or just in general. I like making itineraries when I'm on vacation and researching places to go. Researching is one of my most favorite things to do.

    4) Something You're Really Bad At: Math. I hate it. I like to think of myself as someone with above average intelligence, but I feel like such an idiot when I have to do anything math related.

    5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Alcoholic: Amaretto Sour
    Non-Alcoholic: Sweet Tea

    6) Something you do that annoys SO: I refuse to take out the trash.

    7) Something SO does that annoys you: He makes up words to songs on the radio when we are in the car.

    8) Something you want to work on personally: I want to lose 25 pounds. And have more patience.

    9) Current/Last Book you read: Yes, Please by Amy Poehler. I highly recommend. I am currently reading Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari.

    10) Something about yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I may look quiet and sweet, but I was on a roller derby team for a year.

    1) Pet Peeve: Punctuation & grammar. My brother, who was an English major in college is forever misusing "they're their there" "Your & you're" and it drives me up a wall. I haven't figured out if he is being ironic, and deliberately misusing it, or if my parents wasted a whole LOT of money.

    2) A Bad Habit you have: walking around barefoot. I grew up in TX, and haven't adjusted to Vermont, where really, it's too cold to do that MOST of the year. I frost bit my toes on the kitchen floor a few years ago. Brrrrr.

    3) Something You're Really Good At: Remembering useless things.

    4) Something You're Really Bad At: Singing. True story, completely tone-deaf.

    5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Hot chocolate.

    6) Something you do that annoys SO: I tuck my cold feet under him. Increasing yelps recently as we're heading towards winter and my feet are getting colder - and attempts to relocate cold feet to under dog... (Dog says no.)

    7) Something SO does that annoys you: He leaves PILES of THINGS all over the place. He fully intends to finish picking it up, but gets distracted before the pile of dishes makes it off the counter (from the dishwasher) INTO the cabinet. Just put it straight from the dishwasher away! (We've had talks about piles.) 

    8) Something you want to work on personally: Taking better care of my health, not pushing myself so hard.

    9) Current/Last Book you read: What to expect before you're expecting.

    10) Something about yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I'm a type A planner type. There were color coded spread sheets for my wedding. Plural.



  • @pocketfullofshells you know what you are also good at?! Staying on the "this weeks leaders" board on the right hand side of the TB webpage LOL. The amount of points you get in a week are always more than what I have from when I first joined in sept!!!

    Also, I have been looking at getting a coloring book, which one did you get?

  • @pocketfullofshells if thats the case, then lets be children together haha I love coloring!

  • 1) Pet Peeve: Bad grammar and spelling are definitely at the top of my list. Also, one-uppers drive me bonkers and people who just HAVE to gossip about EVERYONE. ALL. OF. THE. TIME.

    2) A Bad Habit you have: I'm pretty much late to everything and I procrastinate.

    3) Something You're Really Good At: My procrastination is actually what fuels me to do excellent on tests, papers, and projects. SO says I'm just really good at BS'ing.

    4) Something You're Really Bad At: I'm really terrible at accepting when I'm wrong and apologizing. I'm working on it, though.

    5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Right now, apple cider but when it comes to alcohol, I am a margarita girl all the way. I'm a big fan of white russians, too.

    6) Something you do that annoys SO: I have one-sided conversations with him. He told me that he just waits until I answer myself after I ask him a question.

    7) Something SO does that annoys you: He knows exactly how to push my buttons and oh boy, does he use that to his advantage. Also, he's an insomniac so while I'm trying to go to sleep, he's watching something on his tablet. He giggles and shakes the bed and that makes me CRAZY!

    8) Something you want to work on personally: Because of my childhood, I have a lot of trouble letting people in and I'd like to be more open to letting others care about me.

    9) Current/Last Book you read: The last book I read was Looking for Alaska and it was okay. I downloaded The Girl on the Train and have yet to look at it.

    10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I'm actually a great singer. Also, I'm pretty friggin' mean if someone messes with me. It always surprises the hell out of people when they see it.
