Nestie Spotlight: cruella

  Spotlight on cruella013* Names of the newlyweds: Desiree and Aaron

* When and where they tied the knot: June 7, 2009 in Chicago
* Favorite part of the big day: This is a toss-up.  I loved the feeling I had the morning when I woke up.  I don't think I've ever felt so giddy and happy.  It was a really special time by myself, listening to some music, writing Aaron's card.  I was overwhelmed with positive emotions.  The second thing that really stands out about the day was the look on Aaron's face - at the alter and during the reception.  He was glowing.  We just had so much fun and really enjoyed each other's company all day.
* Where do you see yourself in five years? I don't know where we will be living, but it will be in a big city.  I will hopefully be working full-time at a university teaching developmental psychology.  Hopefully I'll have a small child, and another on the way (max of two). And I will have visited at least three new travel spots by then. Your turn, J9ers. Ask away!

  • imagemamie329:

    What's your all-time favorite song? Stick-shifts and Safety belts by Cake

    What drives you crazy about DH? That he is not a phone person - which sucks when he is away on business.  He also isn't overly expressive regarding his thoughts and emotions, where I'm the opposite.

    If you could wear one outfit for the rest of you life, what would it be?  A pair of sexy jeans and a v-neck tank-top (black - as long as I had lots of jewelry to dress it up).

  • What is your ultimate pet-peeve?

    What are your hobbies?

    Where is the next spot you want to travel to?

     

  • What is your favorite color? Why? (Does it remind you of anything, etc...)

    If you had to choose between losing your hearing or vision, which one and why?

    If you could only use one beauty product the rest of your life, what would it be?

  • imagenanner29:

    What is your ultimate pet-peeve? Serious: people who are racist. No-so-serious: when the windshield wipers are on and its not raining.

    What are your hobbies? I like scrapbooking, but don't find time very often.  I'd like to start spending more time learning about photography and taking photos

    Where is the next spot you want to travel to? Either South America (Buenos Aires?) or Southeast Asia (Malaysia?)

     

  • imageLisa.MPH:

    What is your favorite color? Why? (Does it remind you of anything, etc...)

    Red and orange.  I think it they are warm and welcoming colors.

    If you had to choose between losing your hearing or vision, which one and why?

    Hearing.  I couldn't imagine adjusting to life without vision.  I also think my personal enjoyment of life is more visual than auditory. 

    If you could only use one beauty product the rest of your life, what would it be?

    oooh - toss up between eyeliner and mascara.  

  • 1. How do you take your coffee?

    2. Favorite all-time movie

    3. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 1 book, what would it be??

    4. Would you rather be 10 pounds lighter or $150,000 richer for the rest of your life??

  • imageangelfire0412:

    1. How do you take your coffee? I rarely drink coffee, but if I do it is with a lot of sugar and some cream.

    2. Favorite all-time movie.  This is too hard.  Right now Big Fish comes to mind.

    3. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 1 book, what would it be? 

    Something I haven't read yet, and something that is long :)  Maybe the complete works of Shakespeare.

    4. Would you rather be 10 pounds lighter or $150,000 richer for the rest of your life?  Just one installment of the money?  If so, I'll take the 10 lbs.  If it is a yearly installment of the money, I'll take the money.

  • 1. Without using the word orange, can you describe an orange?

    2. Favorite date you and hubby have gone on?

    3. Favorite childhood book.

    4. You are assigned a task that you strongly feel is unsafe. WWYD?

     

  • imagejessnjason:

    1. Without using the word orange, can you describe an orange? Bright and warm

    2. Favorite date you and hubby have gone on? When we were in Hong Kong we went out to this Australian place for dinner.  I had the most delicious lamb I've ever eaten.  Then, after stuffing ourselves, we sat on the patio area of the restaurant and had some cognac and smoked cigars.  We were just so relaxed and ourselves, it was just a special night.

    3. Favorite childhood book.  Miffy books

    4. You are assigned a task that you strongly feel is unsafe. WWYD? I'm a total scaredy cat.  If it involved heights or me getting hurt, I wouldn't do it. 

     

  • If you could not teach, what would your second pick be? Why?

    What do you fear the most?

    What is your favorite drink?

    What is your favorite food that you could eat every day?

  • imagehopeblue9:

    If you could not teach, what would your second pick be? Why? I would work at a research institute, conducting developmental research.  These are the two things I'm trained for and ultimately love doing.  Its very rewarding to test and idea you have and find it supported and then recognized.

    What do you fear the most? Honestly - losing the people I love most

    What is your favorite drink? Martinis or vodka on the rocks

    What is your favorite food that you could eat every day? Cheese, any kind (sorry mamie)

  • Haha. It's okay. I would never deny anyone their love of cheese. Except canned cheese. I can't condone that.

  • Whats your favorite season of the year?

    What is your all time favorite tv show?

    If your phone could only call or text message which one would you pick? 

  • If you could meet any famous person who would it be?

    What will you name your first child (if you want to have kids)?

    Whats your favorite fruit?

  • imagealaggie07:

    Whats your favorite season of the year? Summer.  I love going to the beach and feeling the warm warm sun.  Although all but winter are good for me.

    What is your all time favorite tv show? All time - most consistent is probably the simpsons.

    If your phone could only call or text message which one would you pick? Call hands down.  I'm old, so I'm a totally slow texter.  DH makes fun of me all the time.  I peck when I type too.

  • imagehawkilady:

    If you could meet any famous person who would it be? I'm not into the famous people thing, I just don't get it.  I think I would just be a nervous wreck.  Hot guy celebs would be on the list I guess, but that would just make me nervous and horny.  There are some great concerts I wish I could go to though, like The Doors

    What will you name your first child (if you want to have kids)? If its a boy: Wade (after H's grandfather); a girl we are still working on.  I like romance language names, he is all about the English names.  I'll win the girl name though.

    Whats your favorite fruit? Peach

     

  • Sorry I'm late!  Meeting this morning...

    1. If you could create one standing appointment on your calendar, who would it be with and what would you do?

    2. How many pairs of shoes do you have and which is your favorite?

    3. What is the worst pick-up line you've ever heard?

  • imageLarkNow:

    Sorry I'm late!  Meeting this morning...

    1. If you could create one standing appointment on your calendar, who would it be with and what would you do?  I wish I could see my family every week for a Sunday dinner.  I know this is lame - but I miss them and grew up with family dinners.

    2. How many pairs of shoes do you have and which is your favorite?

    I probably have about 2 dozen pairs of shoes, but only wear a small portion of them.  I just got new ECCOS that I'm in love with.  I have so much walking to do with my new jobs, they make my feet happy.

    3. What is the worst pick-up line you've ever heard?  I've been told my explanation of how to spell my name would be a bad pick up line.  When people ask how to spell my name I say is "desire" with an extra "E" on the end.  I don't really remember any pick up lines used on me - I laugh them off, perhaps make fun of them for the night, then they are forgotten.

  • Wow...you ladies ask some tough questions

     

    PS I had no idea we were doing this nestie spotlight thing.  Fun!

  • How old were you when you had your first kiss?

    What kind of vacuum do you own?

    Shutterfly, Kodak, or Snapfish?

     

  • imagemofe:

    How old were you when you had your first kiss? Chris Crowley in Kindergarten under the big tree.  First real kiss - I was 15 I think - up against a confessional in church. 

    What kind of vacuum do you own? We have two regular vacuums - a stand up Eureka and a canister one of some sort. I hate them both.

    Shutterfly, Kodak, or Snapfish? Kodak
