Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

1. I'm the youngest of 4 (I think I was the child that was soposet to save the marriage, but didn't)

2. I lost my brother almost 6yrs ago (in April it will be 6) and I sometimes just think he's staying in the city because that's where he use to stay during the week. I guess we can say DENIAL

3. I want to lose weight but I am a junk food junky ( have to have some form of candy or ice cream a night)

4. My 1st son is not my dh's, I had him when I was 19 got pregnant within 2mos of dating, broke up before he was born but he is still a part of his life which is good.

5. I thought I was never going to get married after being a single mom for 4yrs until I bump into a friend that I have known for yrs at a bar and we later got married and had 2 of our own kids. We now have a yours, mine and ours family (he also had a child ) and I wouldn't change it for the world

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

This is hard...let me think

1. I am a very bizarre eater and it drives everyone nuts. I seperate things and cut them into little tiny pieces. I won't mix certain things together. My friends all hate it.

2. I was arrested for a DUI back when I was 21. I thank god everyday that I was because I think it truly saved my life.

3. I still have to call my mom when I get home or go someplace so that she knows I have arrived safely.

4. My entire family calls me Pussycat (except for my nieces and nephews - they call me Didi)

5. Dh and I lived together as friends before we got together. I used to have bad nightmares and would see things in my sleep. I saw a girl in my closet so I went to sleep in his room. That was the first night we got together. My nightmares have now stopped!

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

I am pretty much an open book as well, but, I'll give it a shot!.

1. It took 9 months of TTC before I finally got a BFP.

2. I LOVE reading magazines and hardly ever read books.

3. I love reality TV

4. I can't stand when cabinets are left open. I'll go to my parents house, mom will be cooking (all cabinets open) and I go around and close them on her.

5. I feel like no matter how hard we work on the house, there will ALWAYS be clutter! I worked in this room (computer) for over an hour today. Emptied the shredder pail once and there is STILL a lot more things to be shredded. I wish I can **SNAP** my fingers and bam the house would all be organized.

5. When people go on and on in a conversation I feel like I am going to pass out and cant even listen to them anymore. the room starts spinning. Very strange. All I keep thinking is...get to the point! (happens at work mostly)

This is funny b/c I am the same way.

I actually talk A LOT ...I mean a LOT....but When other people cannot get to the point fast enough and give useless backgroudn info etc, I get all fidgety and nuts and cant focus, its funny.

me too girls.
and Donna, Im glad youre a talker and saying this too.
but when this happens to me, I interject and kinda try to finish off their conversation or assume the ending or just plain interrupt with a tangent, comes naturally to A.D.D.'ers like me

Donna- shame on you!

Paulette close the door, that would make me insane!! I dont like being under someone else's control ! knowing myself, Id probably start pacing the room, sipping water, and having to "run out" to the bathroom while theyre talking

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

I'm sort of an open book too, but here goes: (warning - most of them are kind of sad...)

1. I grew up in an abusive house with my mom. She was (is) bipolar and schizotypal but never received treatment. I felt responsible for her and my little sister (11 years younger than me) for most pf my childhood. When I left home at 17, my mom blamed me. I am now estranged from both of them.

2. I had an eating disorder until I was in my early 20's. Everyday I struggle with body issues, and the only thing that has saved me from geting too deep in it is Cailen.

3. I almost gave up on myself and my life when I was a teenager. I mean in every sense of the word. When I was 20 years old, I had a religious experience that I will never ever forget. I woke up in a hospital and knew I was very lucky. I vowed to live my life to the fullest ever since.

4. I was scared to death when I discovered I was pregnant and thought for a few minutes about keeping the pregnancy. The overwhelming YES that screamed in my mind made me realize how much I was ready for this baby


5. I can never truly rest and be at peace with who I am. there is always something that needs to be done to grow and be a better person. And I'm ok with that!!!

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

I don't think anyone knows anything about me really, but

1. I only cook for my son. Otherwise, i cook maybe once a week. My MIL cooks and sends food over weekly or we do takeout.
2. I haven't seen my natural hair color since I was 13.
3. I bite my nails
4. I am in an interracial marriage.
5. I'm totally addicted to iced coffee.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

I want to play! I want to play!

1. I was a huge Britpop groupie in the 90's, you name the Brit band, I met them and have the photos to prove it. I probably even tried to sleep with a few of them...almost got somewhere with one or two.

2. I talk, a lot. All the time. It gets me in trouble a lot. Even at the grand old age of 35.

3. I have very short hair. I have a HUGE amount of naturally curly dark hair that grows in the most ridiculous fashion and looks terrible. Just terrible Therefore I keep it cut very short as to avoid having a jewfro.

4. I moved thousands of miles away from my family and it was the best thing I have ever done.

5. I am very lazy. Extremely lazy. Mucho lazy, and my house is always a mess. ALWAYS A MESS...and it doesn't bother me.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

1. I look at my baby non stop, pondering if he is really that cute or if he's just that cute because he's mine.

2. I love my baby, but i really love my husband and sometimes feel guilty about that. Everyone said the love for your baby is so different then the love for your husband, but I don't find that to be true.

3. I only have my AA degree, I wish it bothered me more that I haven't finished, but it doesn't.

4. I have no interest in ever visiting Europe. My sister lived there for almost 2 years and my brother and his girlfriend live in France right now. I never wanted to use vacation time or money to go.

5. My sister and I fight a lot. Oil and water. Now it sucks because she lives in a convent and next year will officially be a nun. So, everyone sides with her and I always look like a crazy b!tch for fighting with her.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

1. I am probably one of the silliest people on earth. My DH has to tell me t stop being silly sometimes. And that was before I had DD. Now, its even worse. I make up the silliest songs and dances for her. And lets not talk about nicknames....

2. I am very close to my sister now, but we grew up hating each other. In fact, when I had to pick a poem to recite in the 2nd grade, I picked "Sister for Sale".

3. I remember almost every song lyric I ever heard, even if I haven't heard it in 10 years.

4. DD is 18 months old, and I still can't beleive she is mine. DH and I still look at her when she's sleeping and can't believe she's ours and how cute she is.

5. I can watch the same movie over and over and over, especially Bend it Like Beckham and Legally Blonde.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

Here goes nothing...

1. I met DH on Love@AOL and told my mom that I met him at a bar - I didn't tell her the truth until right before we got married almost 7 years later.

2. I am lazy as can be most of the time. I've been home with my DD for 10 weeks and have accomplished absolutely nothing around my house.

3. I hate working - I have a yet to find a job I love...but so far I love being a SAHM.

4. The stories my IL's tell drive me crazy...they repeat the same stories every single time I see them and I tend to get snippy and answer "yeah, you told me already".

5. I've gained 35 lbs since my wedding in May 06 and then gained another 30 when I got pregnant...I lost the newest 30 lbs., but have probably put back on 10 with the way I snack since I've been home.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

1. My girlfriend and I borrowed her sisters car to drive to Driver's Ed because we didn't want to walk to school. I drove of course.

2. I was a surprise baby. My parents told that they were married a year before I was born. My mom got pregnant in March of 1971, graduated HS and married in June of 1971, and had me in Dec of 1971. The secret still holds true today, almost 36 years later! No one has offically ever told me the truth even though I already know. Like it really matters now. My parents have been together since they were 15 years old.

3. I was an amazing softball player, college scholarship and all. I eventually went on to coach at the HS level. As much as I loved the sport and lived and breathed it through my years, I HATED having practice! I wish we could have just played games all the time.

4. In college me and a few friends went on a scavenger hunt to steal different Xmas and lawn ornaments. After we were done we went to eat and then drive home with a car FULL of things. We did this in another state and when we tried to get back to school we realized we spent all our money eating and had no money to get back over the bridge. So in a car full of stolen items we had to pull over to the side of the Outerbridge crossing and go to the Port Authority Police to get some form that swore we would send the toll money in the mail.

5. My bark is worse than my bite. I can talk a great talk but when it comes to confrontation I'm not as strong as I want to be to get my point across.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

1. During our first five months of marriage, DH and I didn't actually live together. We both have houses in different towns about 45 minutes away from each other.

2. My younger cousin went on a few dates with DH, but then she thought he and I would make a much better couple. I originally said no to a fix up

3. Ever since I was held up in my home, I have a panic attack if someone startles me or sneaks up on me.

4. I love blankets with "satiny" edges and actually have my own "baby blanket" that I sleep with.

5. I love my whole family so much that sometimes it actually hurts.

Re: Spinoff from LIW... 5 things you don't know about me...add yours

I'm not really sure what people know?

1. I almost failed out of HS - then in 11th grade I realized I wanted to go to college so started doing work.
2. I do not have one skill or talent that I am really good at - I am mediocre at alot of things.
3. I used to travel around summers to Grateful Dead and Phish shows and sell jewelery for gas, food, and ticket money.
4. I have 5 stepbrothers and sisters that I havent seen in about 10 years, along with my father and stepmother.
5. My stepfather passed away when I was 18 and just beginning to like him. I wish he was here to be a granddad to dd.
