Re: GTKY

  • 1. Both.

    2. Depends on the day.
    3. Hawaii or Florida. Much further and we'd never see family.
    4.dog. A 12 pound Yorkie who is awesome!
    5. Disney World. Anywhere warm with a beach.
    6. Varies honestly. Father of the Bride, Dave, Thor, Legally Blonde, lots of Disney movies.
    7. Currently, Castle or Grimm. All time, Gilmore Girls or Friends.
    8. Older brother and sister and a younger sister.
    9. Teleporting as long as I can hold people to bring them with me. No more traffic or airfare.
    10. Summer is the BEST. I hate Winter except for Christmas.

  • 1. Coffee or Tea?  Both, I love a good Early Grey, as well as a nice strong cup of coffee!

    2.  Morning person or night owl?  Neither?  I need a solid 8-9 hours of sleep, but if I had to choose, probably morning.

    3. What city/state/country would you like to live in?  I LOVE living in Kansas City.  We have an incredibly low cost of living, plus everything else you could want or find in the city, with the exception of a beach.  :)  But it's central proximity means that any domestic destination isn't more than a 3 hour plane ride away.

    4. What kind of pets do you have?  Does our Roomba count?  We call him Rodrigo.  

    5. Favorite place to travel?  Travel is like children, it's impossible to pick a favorite!  In the U.S., we like Boston and Florida.  Out of the country, we love Wellington, New Zealand and Barcelona.  But we're headed to London and Paris in 9 days, so those may rise to the top of the list!

    6. Favorite movie?  Pass.  Too many to list.

    7. Favorite TV show?  All time?  Sex in the City.  Right now, I'm loving the Good Wife and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.  I'm also a sucker for anything BBC/PBS Masterpiece, including Mr. Selfridge, Endeavor, Call the Midwife, etc. 

    8. Do you have any siblings?  One brother.  He is my bestie.

    9. If you had any one super power, which one would you choose and why?  Teleport, definitely.

    10.  Which season is your most/least favorite?  I get seasonal affective disorder and could completely do without winter.  Spring and Summer are my favorite.

    4. What kind of pets do you have? Two cats

    7. Favorite TV show? Orange Is the New Black

    8. Do you have any siblings? An older brother and a younger sister

    9. If you had any one super power, which one would you choose and why? Time manipulation. I need more time in my day.

    2. Morning person or night owl? Used to be a morning person. Now more of a night owl.

    3. What city/state/country would you like to live in? If I could take my family, farther south, say Virginia or the Carolinas. Less snow, more beaches, and less travel time to Disney. Otherwise I'm good where I am. :)

    5. Favorite place to travel? Disney World - wish I could live there.

  • @islandmonkey8 - Tell me about your Disney obsession. I wish I could live there :)
  • @HoneyBee973 Alaska is completely amazing and breathtaking! We loved halibut fishing, picnicking by the lakes, looking at the incredible scenery, and eating all of the amazing food!

    Here's a rundown of our trip: We flew into Anchorage, rented a car, and spent the night in a hotel. The next morning we had an awesome breakfast at a place called Gwennie's and then drove 4 hours south to Homer.

    We spent 4 nights/5 days there in a house we rented. We went halibut fishing two days, and we went salmon fishing one day. Our day "off" we explored Homer and went to this wildlife museum thing, which was really neat. We would take home some of the fresh fish we caught and grill it for dinner. We also tried some of the local restaurants, which were really good, but I can't remember their names :(

    On day 6 (I think!) we drove almost 8 hours from Homer up to Talkeetna. We spent the night in a hybrid hotel/cabin, which was awesome. We were going to go to the Denali State Park, but my dad had an unexpected medical emergency so we had to drive three hours back to Anchorage to go the hospital.

    We spent the remaining two days exploring Anchorage, and we went to the flight/plane museum. We had dinner at a pizza place called the Moose's Tooth (amazing). They have a sister restaurant that has a movie theater in it. Each theater has a bar inside it. You order your food, and they bring it to you inside the theater while you watch the movie. It was really neat!

    DH and I are already planning on going back. It was so awesome and such an amazing experience!

    @alyssa32713 I have never been there in the winter time. I heard that the amount of snow varies quite a bit though. In Homer, they said that close to the water doesn't get a ton of snow, but if you live a few miles away from the water, then they get a good amount. Obviously, the more north you go the more snow you will get. Y'all should definitely go visit sometime! I truly can't say enough how much we loved it there.

    10.  Which season is your most/least favorite? - Most: Fall, least: summer (because it's so darn humid and hot and there is only so much clothing one can take off for the sake of modesty to stay cool).

  • Confession..... I have never been to Disney! 
  • @HoneyBee973 - While I find that slightly crazy (just because I grew up going every few years), I know plenty of people who have no desire to go. Do you want to go? Or do you not understand the hype?
  • I'll go if DH & I have a kid and the kid is old enough to enjoy/remember it. Maybe this is an FFC/UO, but neither of us really enjoy Disney (with maybe the exception of Epcot...).

  • You guys are starting to convince me that DH and I need to go. 
  • I took DH before we had any LOs because it is a completely different experience. No whining or crying. Your own schedule, subject to change without notice or breakdowns, and the ability to stay out late without consequences. Just a thought :)
  • 1. Coffee or Tea?  Coffee!!! Love the caffeine, love the taste.  Limiting my coffee intake is going to be tough when baby happens.

    2.  Morning person or night owl?  Neither?  Haha.  I like to call myself a "full invested in the day" person.  From 10am to about 10pm, I'm solid -- I never nap.  So yeah...neither. Haha.

    3. What city/state/country would you like to live in?  I like where we live.  I'm fairly certain I'll live the rest of my life in Bergen County, NJ.  Boring, I know.  But if I had to chose, either San Diego, Seattle, San Fran or Denver.  I've never been to any of these places but from what I hear, they're ideal places to live. 

    4. What kind of pets do you have?  One 65# pittie who thinks he's a lap dog, Moose (see avatar)!

    5. Favorite place to travel?  Negril, Jamaica.  DH and I have said if we had to chose just one place to travel for the rest of our lives, we'd pick Couples Swept Away in Negril.

    6. Favorite movie?  Wow.  Too many to list.  As of late, anything Marvel.  From my childhood, Dirty Dancing, Grease, The Sound of Music.

    7. Favorite TV show?  NCIS, Criminal Minds, SVU.  I'm a weirdo that's into crime shows.  DH gets creeped by my liking of Criminal Minds. 

    8. Do you have any siblings? One older brother, he's 3 years older.

    9. If you had any one super power, which one would you choose and why?  This is going to sound strange, but I would like the power to put myself into deep, restful sleep on command.  Haha.  Like in the movie, 5th Element, where they go into those little sleep chamber/vestibule things, press a button and they're out cold.  I wish I could do that at will. This comes from years of not getting restful sleep and feeling like utter crap all the time b/c of it. 

    10.  Which season is your most/least favorite?  Fall is definitely my favorite!  Being a Jersey girl, I've always said I love the changing of seasons, so even though I have a favorite, I don't really dislike any of them.  They all have their pluses, but, as the climate gets crazier and the weather more unpredictable, winter is getting more and more dislike-able.  Haha.
