Re: GTKY mini-quiz
I am completely procrastinating inputting hundreds of serial numbers, so here goes!
-What's the girliest thing about you? How sensitive and emotional i am. I can read an article headline and start tearing up. DH thinks it's 'cute'.
-What was the last thing you Googled? I look up a lot of stuff during the day, but i went to Wikipedia the other day to look up the Brooklyn neighborhood of Kensington.
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? Including work, i have 5.
2 gmail and 2 yahoo. I used to have a 6th one for my theatre company, but that closed up. I have my old yahoo account cuz i still sometimes get email there and i do this email point system thing; my new yahoo account (for obvious reasons); 1 gmail account for the same email point system thing and a new gmail account for my crocheting shop on Etsy.
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? Hands down, Anthropologie. I love everything that that store puts out and i would love to be a walking billboard for them!!
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? I was 19 and i was a dance teacher assitant (3-7yr olds)/dance studio receptionist/studio cleaner. It was awesome! And who knew that half water/half vinegar is the best way to clean a marley dance floor?!

-What's the girliest thing about you? lol, I'm not really sure.
-What was the last thing you Googled? Stallone Testing Laboratories, they're a company that I deal with that it seems went under
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? incl work, 3. My personal email address has my maiden name and I set one up with my married name but never really made the switch.
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? Macys, hands down. they have everything.
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? 16. I worked in Gadzooks (it was a clothing store) in the SI mall.
-What's the girliest thing about you? I cry very easily, especially when it comes to children doing extraordinary things. Also, I have too much in my makeup bag.
-What was the last thing you Googled? Information on theater groups in Tanzania. There is a chance that I am going to Zanzibar this summer to for school/work so I am obsessed with all things Tanzania now. If it doesn't work out, I think I am going to be devastated.
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? 1. More than one would be overwhelming.
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? Anthropologie!!!!! Online exclusives too.
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? 13. Babysitting for the brat down the street. She threw temper tantrums all night and her mother would come home until 3 am.
Happy Wednesday!
-What's the girliest thing about you? I would probably say my insane fear of bugs... Why do they have so many legs???
-What was the last thing you Googled? This morning I googled a Christmas stocking kit. This is our first married Christmas and I wanted to make Rob a stocking.
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? Lets see... I have my work account, a hotmail account with my maiden name, a yahoo account with my new married name that I am trying to switch everyone too, and a yahoo account I use for ebay and craigslist stuff.
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? Honestly I think I would have to say Target. I love going up and down every aisle in that store.
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? When I was 16 I got my first job at In-N-Out Burger. I was the "drive thru" girl since I wasn't old enough to do the grill.

My Planning Bio
My Married Bio updated March 4
-What's the girliest thing about you? ohhhh....tough one. i used to be a lot more girly, now i'm much more low-maintenance. haha. maybe my super sappiness?
-What was the last thing you Googled? "sleeping on your back while pregnant" I'm usually a side sleeper, but I keep waking up in the night realizing i'm sleeping on my back.....hmmmm....
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? 4. one for work, one old, old hotmail account, and two for gmail (married name and my pre-married name.)
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? I would love to shop at anthropologie...but I think I might choose Crate & Barrel & CB2 (its the same company, so that works right?), because updated furniture would be lovely!!
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? 16. I worked in the kitchen of a retirement home. Before driving capabilities, I was quite the entreprenuer. I had a neighborhood pet sitting business (I was a big bargain!!), baby sitting, and I sold stationary for "points" that I could redeem for cool kids stuff.
Girliest thing: Love to read historical romances
Last thing googled: where to get H1N1 vaccine (our pediatrician doesn't have it yet)
Email accounts: 3, 1 personal, 1 work, 1 for "junk mail"
Shop for free: ShopRite. I spend more there than anywhere, free groceries would leave me lots of $$ for anything else I wanted!
1st Job: (aside from babysitting) 15 years old, bussing tables at a family restaurant.
Girliest thing: I love manis and pedis
Last thing googled: "IL crim law essay and sample answer" - I'm looking for an assignment to give my students for homework today.
Email accounts: 6. It's disgusting, I know. 1 old AOL one that I had since email was first invented, 1 yahoo with my maiden name that I now use for "junk", 1 yahoo with my married name that I am trying to make my primary personal account, but it hasn't really caught on yet, 1 yahoo for bellydance purposes, 1 for my old job that I still need to check everyday, 1 for my current job.
Where I would shop for free: NY&Co. I swear I buy everything I wear to work at that store. I am there at least weekly. The only thing that would make me say Macy's instead is that NY&Co doesn't sell shoes....
1st Job: I babysat starting at 13, but my first "real" job was as a camp counselor the summer after my freshman year of high school, so 15.
-What's the girliest thing about you?
Other than mani/pedis like Ms. Kocal, I love wearing the perfect-fitting dress. My closet is stocked with different styles because it's the easiest way to look pulled together when I'm short on time.
-What was the last thing you Googled?
Hmm, it was work related and was Webster's online dictionary. I don't trust spell-check as a writer, and Webster's keeps their content up to date.
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? I maintain a bearable two email accounts--one work and one personal. Anything more is too much!
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? Ahh, just one store?! Well, I'm a jewlery type gal because it never goes out of style, so let's say the jewlery department at Saks. (Funny, I've never shopped there)!
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? I was 15, but lied and said I was 16 to get a job as a cashier at a great mom/pop type sandwich/BBQ joint. They served the best, finger-licking ribs you ever tasted!
-What was the last thing you Googled? I google something this morning but I can't remember.
-How many email accounts do you have? Why? 3 yahoos, one that I use, 2 for nonsense stuff, 1 hotmail for my msn peeps, 2 gmails - I had to set up one for work and one to creat my bio
-If you could shop for free at one store, which one would it be? I don't go there often but Target, I could get stuff for the house like decor items plus food, clothes etc.
-How old were you when you got your first job? What was it? 13 at my mom's restaurant
