I'm going to eat your brains and gain your knowledge!!
Sorry, Adam and I watched Planet Terror last night and that was one of the lines in the movie and we sat there cracking up at each other because we were saying it in different voices and now I can't get it out of my head.
We've done this before, but tell me something that the board doesn't know about you.....
I'll go first.... I've hard surgery on my left boob twice, but do not have fake boobs nor have I had plastic surgery.
I love the smell of crayons.
I have what Adam calls "monkey toes" and can pick stuff up with my feet....
YOU GO!!
Re: I'm going to eat your brains and gain your knowledge!!
hmmmm....
I'm obsessed with studying WW2 Germany and Nazism... not because I'm a fan, but because mass manipulation fascinates me.
I won't eat sour cream.
Chipotle is my favorite food. Ever.
I'm obsessed with True Blood.
I pick up stuff with my feet too :-)
Haha!
I totaled my first owned-by-me car in my parents' driveway. (They dig cavernous water ditches everywhere across their 1/4 mile-long gravel driveway. I smashed the manifold on my Neon all to heck trying to leave their house.)
I still have the first car I had that my parents bought me.
I also still own (and drive) the first car I bought for myself.
I love to make quilts and I'm obsessed with Moda quilting fabrics.
Hmmmm.
Our nicknames are Salami Mommy, & Steak Hands to my youngest daughter why I don't know it was a joke HH and her had going and it stuck!
I love school shopping backpacks pencils new clothes I love love love it!
I also have "monkey toes" so do all 3 of my daughters and Bernie just cracks up watching us pick up things with our toes all the time!!!
I fear having twins again and know that it is entirely possible I also fear being a mom to newborns agian I am basically starting all over agian. Sigh wow. But am totally excited to do it agian if we are blessed with a baby or 2.
OK, you win. Jeebus...
I'm part of a professional belly dance troupe. :-)
I am going to Africa (without Jon) in September for a few weeks to build a school for underprivileged kids. I raised the money for the school with other volunteers by holding golf tournaments.
I have a publisher who is interested in a book I am working on.
Here's something you already probably know: I live a pretty boring life.
But also- I was in a radio choir in 5th and 6th grade and recorded (mostly backup) for various singers that used the studios we worked in with a couple of other girls. I also play the violin (which reminds me that I need to go practice!)
How awesome is that??!?!?! I wish I could do something like that!
Some more: I've never seen Gone With the Wind or Casablanca.
When I was three, I got picked out of the crowd to sit on Baby Shamu at Sea World and I cried the whole time and that picture will be in our photo montage for the wedding video
I have a weird crush on Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.
I haven't seen either of those, and I love Mike Rowe! Not in a crush way, but he's funny.
I love this thread! I also have "monkey feet" although I didn't realize that being able to pick things up with your feet was unusual? Everyone in my family can do that, so I think it's weirder that people can't do it.
I love extreme sports, and have done lots of crazy stuff like skydiving, bungee jumping, white and black water rafting, cliff diving, etc etc
Brussel sprouts are one of my favourite foods, I am having them for supper tonight.
I skipped a grade in school.
I spend a minimum of an hour and 45 minutes cleaning my house every day.
Oh gosh, I love posts like this one. Let's see...I love watching the "Real Housewives" shows on Bravo. They are all so absurd and then you find out in real life they are all broke. I also am obsessed with True Blood.
I have an irrational fear of tape measures. I feel like when they reel themselves back in it's going to slice my hand in half.
WOW!
I used to belly dance!! I miss it soooo.
Yeah, this is not something I'm proud of, it's definitely more of an OCD thing. I have a timer that I use and I break it down into sections and slots of time. Like, I won't let myself eat breakfast until I've cleaned the bathrooms, I can't leave the house to run an errand unless such and such gets done...the nest is a good motivator too
It's not to an unhealthy degree or anything though, I swear. It really just boils down to the fact that I am really allergic to dust and HH has allergies as well so I spend a huge amount of time vaccuming and dusting, as we have a dog who sheds a lot! Annnnd my dog likes the taste of certain cleaning supplies, so if I windex our coffee table she will lick it, and then I have to windex it again.
Can you please move to Alabama and clean my house and drink beer with me?? Pretty please?
Haha, DH tells me I have Monkey toes too! I am obsessed with True Blood as well even though the show irritates me to no end because it is so different from the books. I am a veterinarian and LOVE cleaning animals teeth. I am known as "The Extractor" at work because I enjoy dentals so much, LOL!
Ok so.....
I have a ridiculous, irrational fear of the dark and all things that could happen in the dark.
My all time favorite movie/book is Gone with the Wind
I collect coffee cups. I have probably 20 different cups and 10+ 'to-go/travel" mugs
Me too
I have about 18 travel mugs!! I thought it was just me!
And I thought it was just me!! I LOVE coffee cups of all kinds. There is a Safeway down the street from out apartment that we do a lot of shopping at. As soon as you walk in the door there is a Starbucks stand and they have a beautiful display of coffee cups. I always have to stop and look at them, especially when they come out with new ones
Now that I have my own apartment I want to get a shelf thing to display all my cups but I haven't found one yet that I really like. A coffee cup was what DH gave me on our wedding day. It was the cup that you can write on and than bake so he spent the night before writing "5-15-10 Greatest Day of My Life" and than made coffee for me the morning of and had it delivered to the room I was getting dressed in 
THIS!!! Last night, my patient and his wife were watching dirty jobs and his wife and I started talking about how ruggedly cute he is...lol.
I also think the guy from Deadliest Catch, Captain Phil's son Josh is adorable!
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
