TGIF and a GTKY

Happy Friday everyone!

Tea or Coffee
Favorite breakfast food
Describe your perfect weekend
How many siblings do you have?
Where do live?  You think you will stay where you are, or relocate to a different state in the future?

I have to post and run and the moment, but will be back to answer the questions =)

Re: TGIF and a GTKY

  • 1.  I like both, but always have coffee in the morning.  Tea I like to drink at night as we are relaxing, especially in cold weather months.  

    2.  Taylor ham and cheese on a bagel.  Wish the local bagel shop delivered!

    3.  Love when DH and I are both off from work and are able to just hang out together, run errands etc.  During the summer we enjoy going hiking, or walking around the lake.  Fall weather, going pumpkin/apple picking and visiting our favorite winery.  Winter we stay home a lot!  We used to ski/snowboard, but I messed up my knee skiing couple years ago, and it hasn't been the same since.  I hope DH and DD can get into snowboarding once she's old enough.  

    4.  I have one older sister.  

    5.  We are in NJ.  We have been thinking about moving to PA more and more.  Property taxes in NJ are crazy expensive.  
  • 1.) I like coffee in the mornings or if I'm going to be up late and need a kick. I'll drink tea occasionally if I want something warm, but it's not usually my go-to.

    2.) Cheese grits. I make 4 servings...and usually eat most of it myself.

    3.) When DH doesn't work and we can hang out together. Most of the time, that involves going to a few wineries.

    4.) I have a younger sisteer.

    5.) We live in a VA suburb of DC. Both myself and DH work in DC. Unless I get transferred to another office, we probably will never leave the DC Metro area. Both of our respective parents live in the area (my parents 2 blocks away, MIL about 30 minutes south), plus my sister lives 30 minutes away and DH's half-siblings and aunts/uncles live about 2 hours south. Also, we both love the area and both grew up there.

  • Hi I'm new to the nest but have been pretty active on the knot. While we aren't TTC yet we have set a date to start in August so I thought I'd jump in since I'm in the reading and anxiously waiting stage. 1. Neither. I'm all about Diet Pepsi. I wish I liked coffee but unless it's loaded with tons of stuff that's bad for you I can't seem to make myself drink it. 2. Home fries with onion in them. 3. Sleep in each day, get up get breakfast then relax catching sun and reading at the beach or on our deck. Preferably with DH grilling. 4. 1 younger brother. 5. I think it's likely we'll stay where we are (Maine) despite hating winter so much. (If you couldn't tell from #3 I have spring fever already). I think we might end up in NH possibly (better taxes) but I also think it's possible we might just get fed up with winter and go south and/or west!
  • Tea or Coffee
    Both.  It depends.  Lately my go to has been iced tea, slightly sweetened or flavored depending on where I'm getting it from.

    Favorite breakfast food
    I love sweet breakfast food in general.  I guess probably my favorites are french toast (of various varieties) and Sara Lee coffee cake.

    Describe your perfect weekend
    At least one day of complete lounging is required.

    How many siblings do you have?
    0 - I'm an only

    Where do live?  You think you will stay where you are, or relocate to a different state in the future?
    I live in Northeast Wisconsin.  My mom's side of the family is here, and pretty much DH's entire family, both sides.  DH has made it pretty clear that this is where he wants to stay, so barring something really big happening, we're staying put.

  • Tea or Coffee
    Both. 
    Favorite breakfast food
    Omelets.
    Describe your perfect weekend
    Having no plans, but gardening or working in the landscape, with a dip in the pool after that.  Then grilling out for dinner.  I love being outdoors.
    How many siblings do you have?
    Had 1.  He died in a car accident last January. :'(
    Where do live?  You think you will stay where you are, or relocate to a different state in the future?
    Small town in northern Illinois. I'm not sure what we'll do.  We talk about relocating, but now that my brother is gone, the family farm is my future baby.  So we probably should stay around here because of that.

  • Tea or Coffee- Both!  I usually have a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, then have a cup of tea in the afternoon (habit from the time I lived in London).
    Favorite breakfast food- Cinnamon rolls
    Describe your perfect weekend- Pool, church, errands, house cleaning.  Anything goes as long as I'm with DH.
    How many siblings do you have?- 1 older brother
    Where do live?  You think you will stay where you are, or relocate to a different state in the future?- We're currently in KY.  Most of our family live close, and the cost of living is low.  But we talk about relocating somewhere warmer, Maybe SC or LA.  We both work jobs that transfer to almost any city so we are open!
  • Tea or Coffee -- Coffee, although in the summer I love unsweetened iced green tea. 

    Favorite breakfast food -- Hmmm... I guess french toast, but I rarely have it because I'm too cheap to buy real mample syrup and don't like the fake stuff. 

    Describe your perfect weekend -- No plans at all (work or personal). Just relaxing out by the pool and meeting up with friends or family for a meal. 

    How many siblings do you have? -- 2 younger brothers 

    Where do live? You think you will stay where you are, or relocate to a different state in the future? --Currently, we're in Arizona, but very much looking forward to moving to Oregon in 2017.

    Happy Friday, all!

    Hopefully, Eugene... Although to tell the truth, we've never been there. H has visited family in Portland (about 2 years ago), and I grew up in Washington state. Eugene (on paper and of course Pinterest!) looks like the best fit for what we're looking for. Where do you love in OR?

  • Portland. LOL. One of my friends got married on Mt. Hood and we toured the Columbia River Gorge and part of the coast. I loved it. Really, I think I love the whole Pacific NW.

    Tea or Coffee. I hate tea...blech. I like coffee, but it has to be a frappe with lots of sugar, milk, and whipped cream.

    Favorite breakfast food. Homemade biscuits and gravy with poached eggs on top

    Describe your perfect weekend. Staying in a cabin in the woods with a lake nearby so the dogs can swim and we can fish and kayak.

    How many siblings do you have? I have 2 older brothers

    Where do live?  You think you will stay where you are, or relocate to a different state in the future? I'm from GA, but currently live in Ohio. I don't think we will stay here forever. I want to move somewhere with amazing outdoor adventure, like Colorado, Wyoming, or Montana maybe.
