Re: stolen wednesday poll

  • 1. What are you most looking forward to in the next 6 months? hopefully and FINALLY finding a job that inovles vaca time/benefits and doesn't make me hate my life and then getting a big trip with DH in the works for later this year. our last real vaca was in august 2009 (and that involved some time with my ILs). we need a proper vacation that involves leaving the country and lots of great food & wine.

    2. What are you doing for Valentine's Day? DH has to be in NYC for a work retreat early on 2/15 (his birthday, extra crappy timing there) so i'm tagging along and we're going to dinner at tamarind. i'm taking him to our favorite swank japanese place on his birthday.

    3. Do you and your DH have similar professions? nope. i'm an advertising/marketing/copy editing geek and he's a math/data/IT geek.

    4. Where do your parents live? my mom & almost all of my extended family is massachusetts, my ILs live in brazil (thus our last major vacation including time with them)

    5. What is for dinner tonight? italian of some kind for me (DC GTG!) and leftover chicken schnitzel with bacon for josh (i literally left a post-it note with cooking instructions for him - lol!)

    6. One fun website you frequent is Pinterest

    7.  Random fact/something funny/really anything you want to tell us right here. i'm not a germophobe but the place i am temping today makes me want to go home and shower in purell. but hey, i'm getting paid to nest and job hunt so that's a plus.

    7.  Random fact/something funny/really anything you want to tell us right here. my husband just posted a video on FB from the surveillance camera from the bar last night of two girls going at it (fighting) and one girl was completely topless. So freakin funny. It took 3 men and 1 girl to split it up. They were pulling the topless one by her legs, I could watch it over and over again.
