1) Pet Peeve: Oversharing on Facebook, some people put their whole life stories in their statuses... like their million baby daddies and failed relationships.
2) A Bad Habit you have: Overthinking...
3) Something Your Really Good At: Music. I have been singing since I was very little. I have no been in my concert choir 20 years this year... crazy!
4) Something You Really Bad At: Making new friends... that sounds lame but seriously as an adult I find it so hard to establish new friendships.
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Any type of non fat latte.
6) Something you do that annoys SO: I actually don't know, nothing that he brings up anyways... I am more cluttery than him and he dislikes it but he just declutters for me.
7) Something SO does that annoys you: Leaves the wet dish rag in the sink and doesn't hang it to dry. I HATE musty smelling rags.
8) Something you want to work on personally: I want to be more productive during the day, because I run a care home in my home its pretty easy to get lazy. I used to have a great 8-5 job doing child protection and I really miss how accomplished I felt at the end of the day...
9) Current/Last Book you read: Chasing the Scream -- amazing book on addictions!
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I am very emotional, although instead I come off as very cold because I try to choke back showing any emotion in front of people...

9) Current/Last Book you read: Just finished a James Patterson book. I'm totally a trashy murder mystery type person when it's time to read for leisure.
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I love kids (I also have a RBF so I think people assume that that means I'm mean and don't like kids? It's odd).
I realize I'm totally late to the party, but figured I would play along as well - it's been a long day at the office today.
1) Pet Peeve: People who don't replace the toilet paper roll when the extras are clearly right in front of them. Also people who chew and talk.
2) A Bad Habit you have: writing out a To-Do list for things I have to do around the house and never actually doing it.
3) Something Your Really Good At: directions - I have a pretty good sense of direction and can typically remember how to get back to a place after only one visit.

5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Wine and vodka sodas with lemon.

8) Something you want to work on personally: getting my house in order - finish cleaning out each floor and fully de-cluttering the house.
9) Current/Last Book you read: onboarding and training documents for my new role at work?? Also, started re-reading a few chapters in TCOYF to make sure I didn't miss anything and to make sure I'm charting correctly.
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I'm a very passionate person and a loyal friend - I hear I suffer from RBF so I'm trying to work on that.
1) Pet Peeve: Oh man. So many. Today, I'd say people who know that the exit lane backs up, so they ride in the lane next to it until they are at the front and cut/force themselves in. Cause the rest of us don't have anywhere to go. Clearly you are more important and shouldn't have to wait in line.
2) A Bad Habit you have: Having a lot of pet peeves? Um, in reality it's probably folding my clothes but never actually putting them away.
3) Something You're Really Good At: Baking
4) Something You Really Bad At: Drawing. It's bad...
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Red wine. And Orange Juice. Not together. That would be weird.
6) Something you do that annoys SO: Not take the dogs out for a walk in the morning (I'll do it all day and night, but hate doing it in the morning)

Me: 31+ H: 32 TTC Since 11/2015 #1 - MMC 6.5 weeks (2/16); #2 - MC due to cystic hygroma at 20 weeks (10/16); #3 CP (2/17); #4 - Due 12.16.17
1) Pet Peeve: loud chewers, people that stop right in front of you with their cart in the grocery store like they own the damm place, when I give an opinion and the person I'm talking to responds "no" and then goes on to explain their opinion. "Actually yes, that is my opinion, but thanks."
2) A Bad Habit you have: biting my cheeks.
3) Something Your Really Good At: making people laugh.
4) Something You Really Bad At: being on time.
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): sangria! Also lemon water, extra, extra, extra lemon. :-)
6) Something you do that annoys SO: obsess over my charts.....
7) Something SO does that annoys you: he's the only person I know more stubborn than me ;-)
8) Something you want to work on personally: being more organized.
9) Current/Last Book you read: my math curriculum for teaching my 4th graders tomorrow......
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I can pick my nose with my tongue? Or maybe that I am horribly afraid of heights.
1) Pet Peeve: When people say the word "frustrated" as "fustrated" in an unironic way!
2) A Bad Habit you have: I'm the messiest person I know.
3) Something Your Really Good At: I tend to be the person that cracks jokes and keeps everyone entertained in social situations - I'm good at making people laugh.
4) Something You Really Bad At: Being clean/organized.
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Ginger beer!
6) Something you do that annoys SO: I am the worst backseat driver in the history of the world...and I married one of the worst drivers in the history of the world. It's a terrible combo.
7) Something SO does that annoys you: He tries to have yelling conversations from other rooms! It drives me crazy!
8) Something you want to work on personally: I'm trying to learn to like my job better. I hate it and I realize that my hate for it is unreasonable. It's a good job, it pays well, my boss is nice, I get lots of time off. I feel horrible for disliking it, but I really don't like it!
9) Current/Last Book you read: I went through a phase a few months ago where I re-read the Hunger Games series and then started reading similar young adult fiction - like Divergent. I am not a young adult, but that stuff is fun to read!
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I often say that I'm a Jill of all Trades but master of none. I'm really mediocre at a lot of things and don't have anything that I'm particularly good at.
1) Pet Peeve: People who ask for inconvenient favours. I have a family member who does this. They're not big enough favours to justify saying no or complaining, but juuuust inconvenient enough to be super annoying
2) A Bad Habit you have: I can be messy/disorganized. People tease me about my binders, lists and folders but if I don't do things that way it becomes a disaster. I also procrastinate things I don't want to do, which makes it so much worse because I spend all day dreading it.
3) Something Your Really Good At: Listening/making people feel comfortable
4) Something You Really Bad At: Singing
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Alcoholic: wine, Non: water with lemon or coffee
6) Something you do that annoys SO: We have like 6 ice cube trays in the freezer. I'll grab ice out of a new tray if the one I grab only has a few left, so I don't have to refill it. H just lectured me the other day because he went to get ice and all 6 had 2-3 cubes in them
7) Something SO does that annoys you: Leaves DVDs out of their cases lying on top of the console
8) Something you want to work on personally: Putting more effort into my friendships. With work and a toddler (not to mention H) I find it hard to find time/energy for social visits!
9) Current/Last Book you read: Catch 22 - finding it hard to get into
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I like rap music
1) Pet Peeve: Oh gosh, where to start. People who don't know the difference between your and you're, and two, to, and too; people who don't turn left immediately when the green arrow shows up; coworkers (and people in general) who can't take responsibility for their mistakes... I'm sure there's more but I'm going to try to not make myself look like a monster.
2) A Bad Habit you have: obsess over things I can't change
3) Something You're Really Good At: I'm not too shabby at drawing.
4) Something You're Really Bad At: Small talk. I'm always afraid I come across like a bitch, when I really just don't know how to talk to people... so I don't say anything...
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): I don't really have one - whatever I'm in the mood for! I really like a bloody mary with brunch, though.
6) Something you do that annoys SO: I just asked him - he said "nothing." I don't think I believe that.
7) Something SO does that annoys you: he sings songs in really high-pitched voices... a lot...
8) Something you want to work on personally: Patience.
9) Current/Last Book you read: I'm still trying to make it through "Inside of a Dog". If you're a dog owner/lover, it's really interesting!
10) Something about yourself that no one would know by looking at you? I really love Nelly and 50 Cent!!
1) Pet Peeve: People that chew with their mouth open. Gross
2) A Bad Habit you have: Nail biting and smoking
3) Something Your Really Good At: Multitasking:constantly doing several things at one time
4) Something You Really Bad At: Fashion: I have my good days but if it's comfy I want it.
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not): Coffee, Dr pepper, and milk
6) Something you do that annoys SO: Steal the covers. Total bed aND cover hog
7) Something SO does that annoys you: His driving. He scares me.
8) Something you want to work on personally: Going back to school
9) Current/Last Book you read: Fifty Shades
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you? My lower right leg is mostly titanium. Shattered my tib and fib and most of my foot when I was 20.
When people say "You welcome" instead of "You're welcome"... I have no idea why it bothers me so much.
2) A Bad Habit you have:
Trichotillomania. It's a form of OCD where you pull out hair (some people eat it, I don't... phew dodged a hair ball there). For me it's eyebrows and eyelashes when I'm stressed. I wear makeup (eyebrow pencil/filler and mascara) just so I leave it alone and it works!
3) Something You're Really Good At:
Cooking. I LOVE to make up recipes to cook (and bake, but I can't make up baking recipes as easily).
4) Something You're Really Bad At:
Anything art related anything. I can't paint, draw, play instruments, or anything and it makes me sad.
5) Favorite Drink (Alcoholic or Not):
Alcoholic: Rum Runner or Pina Colada... I'm a born and raised Florida girl, now landlocked in GA... we have a really sad lake here. I miss anything tropical/fruity and the beach! I'm allergic to alcohol (adult onset allergies are nature's way of telling you to eff off) but I want these all the time!!!!!!!
Non: Sweet tea
6) Something you do that annoys SO:
"No YOU decide where we eat dinner".... <DH inserts opinion> "Eh... doesn't sound good"
7) Something SO does that annoys you:
He forgets things. ALL THE THINGS.
8) Something you want to work on personally:
Losing weight. I have always stayed between 120-130, usually closer to 120. I got sick almost two years ago and am sitting at 160ish. They thought it was my heart so I wasn't allowed to lift weights (my workout preference) for those two years.
9) Current/Last Book you read:
Oh man... I have STACKS of books that I haven't read. Sometimes I pick one up, get into it for a day and then can't remember which one it was.
10) Something About yourself that no one would know by looking at you?
Two things.
1). I grew up trapping alligators with a licensed FL nuisance alligator trapper. Not like Swamp People! I miss it so much.
2). I served six years active duty military (during this time I injured my back and neck and now have permanent nerve damage in my spine)... I have bad back days and also terrible chest pains from another illness, so when the pain is bad I'll park in a "Veteran's" spot if the place has one, otherwise I leave it open. I get angry notes about letting "real vets" park there and "your husband's service doesn't make you a veteran." Yet no one says it to my face. I even have Veteran tags on my car. Punks.

Clomid round 1 starting: 4FEB2016 = No ovulation Clomid round 2 starting: TBD... whenever AF decides to show up, or I have to take Provera again
@NovaSayNo - I never knew that trichotillomania was a thing...I do that too but I really try not to. I don't do it with my eyelashes or eyebrows though...just my regular hair. My hair is so thick that I don't think it's ever caused a noticeable issue. That is really crappy about people leaving notes on your car. How passive aggressive There are many MANY people who park in handicapped spaces who have issues that are not initially obvious.
@sarah0985 - thanks. It just happened again the other day so it was fresh on my mind. I wasn't even going to mention it but I think the residual anger/irritation got to me.
@sboston06 - I just found out it was a thing about a year ago! I had been doing it since (at least) my early teens and had no idea. And yes about the spaces. Some of my friends have that issue with handicap spaces. I can't even imagine being in their shoes, I would probably throw things!

1) Pet Peeve: People that don't drive anywhere close to the speed limit on the interstate. On my way to work the other day, I got stuck behind someone driving 45 in a 70. There were no hazards in the way, and the weather was fine. This person was just poking along. I don't get road rage or anything like that, but I do think that driving waaaay under the speed limit can be just as dangerous as speeding way over.
