seahorse01

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet?  It's not a big deal to us.  We do cards and dinner, and DH sometimes sends me flowers.

What's you guilty pleasure? Watching shows like Honey Boo Boo and Sister Wives

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Eh, maybe Howard Stern?

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? My friend and I went on a road trip to Mexico City with members of a professional soccer team we had met the day before.

AW/FFC/UO? I can't think of anything.  So sleepy.

aggiebug

Do you celebrate Valentines Day? No not really I think it is over rated

If so, have any plans yet? No. I might make a nicer dinner or something since H likes it.

What's you guilty pleasure? A long steamy shower. Usualt they are short and quick but a nice long shower is so fantastic.

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Alec Baldwin

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Umm I dunno? Traveled over seas by myself?

AW/FFC/UO? AW 2 months until I go to Australia/ NZ :-)

brij2006

Do you celebrate Valentines Day? If so, have any plans yet? Sometimes. We usually just have a nice dinner at home, but this year I will be in Cali visiting my BFF and her family.

The plan is for my BFF and her H to go out and I will stay home with their 5 year old son.  He's excited to have a "Valentine date" with me.  We'll probably make a heart shaped pizza and watch UP or something like that. 

 

What's you guilty pleasure? Eating things I shouldn't and at times I shouldn't.

 

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? The Papa Johns pizza guy. It bothers me that he nods his head when he says his little lingo.

 

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Jumping off 100 foot cliff, or skydiving. The cliff was a lot more risky.  You just hoped you hit the water at the perfect angle to not get hurt, and it was deep with no rocks.

 

AW/FFC/UO?

RockABye

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? Not really. I'm not big on Valentine's Day. No plans.

 

What's you guilty pleasure? stupid TV shows - Sister Wives, Gypsy wedding, Bachelor

 

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Meh, I can't think of any. Some of them are really stupid, but then again I'm pretty dorky from time to time... I'm just not on TV for the world to see my antics. ETA: Kanye West. He's just an idiot and someone needs to knock him off the throne he made for himself.

 

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? I dunno.. maybe a roadtrip with a girlfriend in college

 

AW/FFC/UO? can't think of anything

nightmare_of_beauty

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? Usually for Valentines Day H buys tickets for me and my friend to see whatever play that's coming in the season. She loves that she gets a Valentines Day gift from my H. 

Covering the cost for his road trip to D-Comic Con is his gift from me. 

Sometimes we have a nice dinner together. 

What's you guilty pleasure? Watching cheesy cartoons I use to love as a child 

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Kristen Dunst 

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? I'm not that adventurous so I would have to ATV through Grand Cayman, not in the tourist part. 

AW/FFC/UO? I hate people today

lfk2013

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? - I never did before DH.  This year we're celebrating on the 15th with dinner at Ruth's Chris (we have a gift card) and a night in a posh hotel.

What's you guilty pleasure? - If I could get them on cable, those TLC shows (I love watching the trainwreck that is My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding).

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? - Justin Bieber

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? - Ziplining in the rainforest and climbing a waterfall.

AW/FFC/UO? - People that are going way below the speed limit then when you go to pass them, they speed up always make me thankful there's no cuss jar in my car.  Or that they cold hear my sailor word vomit.

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? Not really, we get each other a card and maybe chocolate but that's it.

What's you guilty pleasure? Chocolate covered strawberries

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Miley Cyrus, I like her songs but I can't stand seeing her or anything else.

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Went on an ATV tour in the Caribbean through the deserts.

AW/FFC/UO? AF showed up today and I was prepared with tampon in and all, yet I still managed to bleed through the tampon in under 90 minutes. Good Morning To ME!

nfp147

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? Not really.  We usually make a nice dinner and drink some wine.

What's you guilty pleasure? Do I have to pick one? I really like spending time in my craft room.  

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Claire Daines and Angeline Jolie.

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Moved across the country where I knew almost no one. 

mrshall1027

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? Yes, mainly because I love getting dressed up and going to a nice dinner  This year, we have my stepdaughters, so we'll have to find a sitter.  We'll probably just stay in or maybe take them out to dinner.

What's you guilty pleasure? Online shopping!  It's too easy and I'm starting to get addicted!

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Too many to list, but mainly Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, and Justin Bieber.

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Going to Seoul, South Korea for about a month.  My ex was in the Army and I went over there to visit him.

AW/FFC/UO? I've never hit a golf ball in my life, so I was pretty proud of myself this weekend.  We went to Top Golf and I beat everyone!  And, what made it better was that all the girls kicked the boys butts!

brij2006

Finally thought of one.

AW/FFC/UO? I looked at our pay statement today to see what one of my coworkers makes. I've worked here 5 years and have never looked at it when it came in, because I feel it's something I don't need to know.  But he became a part owner last month, and his wife was bragging about quitting her job. So I looked (he was also brought on the same time as me and we have the same degree).

Now I'm trying to work the math in my head on how the hell they can afford everything they have.  A mortgage 5 times ours, 2 kids, constant vacations, brand new cars, only 1 income. Yet he doesn't make a whole lot more than I do.  

islandmonkey8

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? We usually will do something nice together. We're going to go out to dinner some place nice this year. We always exchange cards as well. DH sometimes buys me flowers. If we don't go out to dinner, I will usually cook some fancy meal at home.

What's your guilty pleasure? Does eating count? I love eating.

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Depends on the day. Right now I cannot think of anyone in particular.

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? My first tattoo... adventurous because it's over 12 inches in diameter. The artist was surprised I wanted something so large when I'd never had a tattoo before.

AW/FFC/UO? I'm sad today because I finally got on the scale for the first time since I stopped going to the gym after our wedding. I've gained about 20lbs. Yup, time to get back on track BIG TIME. Between this, and wondering if the femara did or didn't work, I'm a mess today. So my AW is complaining a lot! 

amandaf6383

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? We don't usually go crazy. We'll do cards and dinner but that's about it.

What's you guilty pleasure? Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Banana greek fro-yo. I can eat the whole pint in one sitting.

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Woody Allen - the Golden Globes tribute to him made me pukey. Marrying your adoptive daughter is not okay. I can't comment on his other adopted daughter's claims of molestation since there was never a trial but the marrying his kid thing. Blechhhh.

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? I actually hate adventure by nature. lol. I'm a control freak and hate when things aren't planned meticulously. That being said, in my early twenties I met a guy and moved in with him that night. That was an (8 week) adventure. lol

AW/FFC/UO? UO: I don't think you should have to put ETA when you update something (I rarely do). I don't care if you changed your grammar/wording/etc.

Yes!  he's gross.

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? Sometimes we do and sometimes we don't.  It just kind of depends on the year.  I doubt we will do anything special this year though because that should be right around the time we are getting ready to move into our house!

What's you guilty pleasure? Probably eating junk I shouldn't eat.

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? I agree with whoever said Kanye West.  I can't stand that guy!

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Ummm I can't think of anything.  I guess I am not that adventurous :-p  Or just can't think of it at the moment!

AW/FFC/UO? My AW is that our house is really coming along and we are supposed to close in about a month!

lilliesandvino

Do you celebrate Valentines Day? If so, have any plans yet? Dinner, flowers/candy, cards. Nothing big. This year is our 10th anniversary so we may do something more.

What's you guilty pleasure? I have a few...the worst is probably my obsession with the Pretty Little Liars books and tv show.

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Oh god, where to start. Bono, Ben Roethlisberger, Anne Hathaway, Chris Brown. I could go on.

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? Studied abroad.

AW/FFC/UO? I just cut ten inches off my hair on Saturday.

 AW/FFC/UO? I just cut ten inches off my hair on Saturday.


That's crazy! How do you like it?

lilliesandvino

Eh, I haven't cried about it. I'm donating to Pantene Beautiful Lengths so I know it's worth it, but I like my hair long.

Here's the sideways aftermath.

ETA: Word to the wise...don't make this pic bigger. My split ends are grossing me out.

I was just going to ask if you were planning to donate it after cutting off that much.  Someone is going to love having that hair.

lilliesandvino

Thanks! My coworkers were teasing me that they throw out all the red hair. No one wants a ginger wig haha.

My guess is credit cards or family money.  A few friends of ours make right around what we do and they are constantly taking fancy trips and buying expensive items.  We've always wondered how they do it and thought we just weren't budgeting money right until one day we found out they have over $25k in credit card debt.

brij2006

@lilliesandvino That's hilarious! 

My grandmother lost her hair with cancer at age 55, and she had red hair.  We drove hours to find her a wig because there weren't many out there. So it will definitely get used.

lilliesandvino

Yep @xan921 and @brij2006. My guess is credit cards.

Xan921

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? We'll usually do something small, maybe a nice dinner or small gifts.  Nothing major.  We don't have any plans yet, since it falls on a Friday and Dh works evenings we may celebrate the day after or just go to lunch on Valentine's Day.

 

What's you guilty pleasure? I rewatch episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians like 100 times and never get sick of it.

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? Taylor Swift

 

What's the most adventurous thing you have done? I'm not very adventurous.  I used to take random road trips all of the time spur of the moment but that's about it.

 

AW/FFC/UO? My FFC is that my jeans are a bit tight today because of eating too much over the weekend and yet I'm still not 100% sold on going to the gym tonight.

brij2006

@xan921 and @lilliesandvino That's my assumption too, but they've lived like this for 5 years now.  You would think they've maxed out their credit line by now.

@lilliesandvino - I am so glad you are donating to PBL. I donated mine to them last year after learning about how Locks of Love charges for some of their wigs (I donated to them after our wedding). 

Do you celebrate Valentines Day?  If so, have any plans yet? I hate Valentine's Day, but DH likes to celebrate. We'll go out on the 15th because I'm chaperoning a middle school dance on the 14th. I can't wait for the drama. 

What's you guilty pleasure? I have so many, how can I just pick one? ;-)

If you could throat punch any celebrity, who would it be? It's a tie between Kanye and Gisele. Man, I hate Gisele.
