1. I am obsessed with roller coasters. Last year was the first year since I turned 13 that I did not go on one. I blame H for postponing our Six Flags New England trip.
2. I play Mario Kart Wii obsessively. I am always Yoshi.
3. Sometimes, I wish I'd gone to culinary school to be a pastry chef instead of going to engineering school.
4. I've gotten into more physical fights than any guy I know.
5. Getting laid off from my construction job was the best thing that ever happened to me.
6. I hate my house right now. It doesn't have room for all of my sh!t. And H and I don't have a lot of sh!t.
7. I compulsively shower. And clean my ears. And put on deodorant. And always have mints. I am terrified of being stinky/gross.
8. One of my life goals is to go to every NHL arena. I only have 5 under my belt so far.
9. I have always wanted a tattoo, but could never think of anything I'd want on my body permanently.
10. I LOVE to put on makeup, but I do it so rarely. Something about the brush running across my skin relaxes me.

Jeez now I gotta come up with different ones than what I put on E.
1. I've probably said this before...I can write the same word forward and backward at the same time. My left hand writes backward and my right hand writes forward.
2. I've tried salmon cooked 4 different ways, at home and at restaurants and I just can't stand the taste of it.
3. I am most relaxed when I am at the beach/looking at the ocean.
4. I've designed an entire house that I don't have yet right down to the details of bedding and towel colors.
5. I won't show my teeth when I smile because my teeth aren't straight and all you end up seeing is my fang-like teeth. H calls them my kitty-teeth.
6. I faint/pass out almost instantly at the sight of anything gross/too much blood. This happened when I got my belly button pierced because as much as I wanted it, there was a hole in my belly button.
7. You know that dirty, metallic smell of coins? I like that smell. I also like the smell of gasoline in the winter and sulpher.
8. Spring makes me want to go on serious shopping sprees. Its like I hibernate all winter and then get so excited that its getting warm out I have an overwhelming desire to completely redo my wardrobe, decor, etc.
9. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate. I like sugary candy better.
10. I fell in love with Starbucks Caramel Macchiato ice cream and now I must buy it every week. Its unbelievably delicious.
*Edited picture size. That was effing huge! And its from Valentines day 2 years ago.

I hate that smell and anything like it. I wash my hands after handling keys or change and bought gloves to lift weights because I hate it so much.
But I do like the smell of gasoline. And sulfur.

I'm weird, what can I say?
Susie - NO! I'm okay with other fish and seafood, its just that damn pesky salmon.

I think I now need to stop at famous footwear or payless on my way home. They both have dollar stores in their respective shopping centers, so I can use that as my excuse.

please post more often!
Yeah, seriously. We're probably the least judgmental group of girls on the nest. And most of us are soooooooo bored during the day.

This makes me sad too. I've been on some other boards and those ladies are intim-i-dating! Not like us at all.
Outsiders, insiders, sidewayers are all welcome here.
Yes please post more. I also felt like an outside till I started posting on this bored. And 1000% on the bold part.
1) I can't candy coat stuff anymore- I used to be Mary Sunshine and Puppies and Rainbows... I just can't do it anymore- that said...
2) I don't have lots of $$ to spend-- and I don't get any enjoyment from buying shoes or bags.
3) I wish we lived in a house no rent an apartment.
4) I left college to raise my kid sister when I was 20......I don't have a degree but have probably learned way more than any college could EVER teach me.
5) I cheated on my ex with O- obviously it turned out well.
6) I love to paint and have such HUGE desires to sell my work-- but don't think it's good enough to get a profit.
7) I don't post on here that much anymore because I feel like I have little to nothing in common with a lot of you.
8) I give myself pep talks in the mirror OFTEN to tell myself I'm not the b*tch/bad mom that I think I am.
9) O and I have serious conversations filled with truth and complete open forum...... in the shower.
10) I try to be a faithful follower of God and share messages of Love and persistence-- but often feel like a hypocrite because of how angry I am on the inside about certain things. I go to confession a LOT!

Additionally
I don't think that ANYTHING I do is good enough.... (this applies to almost every aspect of my life--especially my faith life)
Datsyuks & Ferdy- We Go Together Like...
This is DH and I at a Christmas party a few weeks after we started dating. The boys had to wear reindeer antlers, and I couldn't find an elf costume at the last minute so I went as Frosty the Snowgirl.
1. All I think about is getting preggers, but I don't want to talk about it anymore because I'm afraid of being annoying.
2. I cannot wait to go to Disney world after the Fantasy land expansion is completed, mostly because I want to ride the new Little Mermaid ride.
3. I love getting to spend time with DH's DD, but it always reminds me how much I want one of my own.
4. I had my belly button pierced for like, a month. It got infected and I couldn't get it better, so I took the ring out and cleaned it really good, and then it closed. I have a tiny dot of a scar. I never told my parents.
5. I am really happy with my life now (my career, DH, etc.) but I do not know if my grandma would be happy/proud of my decisions. I think about it sometimes, about what she would have said throughout the process.
6. I haven't had my rings soldered together yet because I don't want to take them off for that long. It's torture enough having to take them off when I have clients.
7. I'm not allowed to make jokes about how Dixie drives me crazy anymore, because DH had a nightmare that we gave the dogs away to a school, and that he became the janitor at the school and found her and she was miserable and he broke her out. When he woke up he had tears in his eyes.
8. I pick on him for that dream, but I secretly think its adorable that he loves our dogs so much that he cried because of a dream about losing them.
9. I got a blackberry for the first time right before Christmas. I am completely addicted and can't figure out how I functioned without one before.
10. I am looking forward to the Disney/Pixar weekend on ABC Family this weekend so that I can watch something other than Elmo, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Dora all weekend. I am also considering buying Bambi on blu-ray for the same reason.

DH and I have deep, meaningful conversations about our lives in the bathtub. I hate my new bathroom because I insisted to the contractor that the most important part was that he find us the hugest bathtub he could fit in the space. I told him that DH and I like to soak in the tub together. Our tub is deep, but it's narrow and short and we cannot fit in it together. I cried when I saw it.

Picture is at a state fair a couple years ago.
1. I don't grab the first item on the shelf. My friends make fun of me but then I'll notice them doing the same thing.
2. I always, ALWAYS have my camera with me.
3. I've always wanted to be a mother more than anything in this world.
4. This is also the scariest thing I can ever think about doing.
5. I get super bored laying out at the pool or the beach.
6. I love my religion but I hate going to confession. I haven't been in years. I prefer to talk to God myself instead of going to a priest.
7. I don't think I'm good at what I do but my friends (also in the same profession) text me 9723947364823 times a day asking for my advice. It makes me feel good.
8.My ex and my husband have the same name along with other freakishly similar things but they look/act nothing alike.
9. I absolutely LOVE the fact that my oldest niece said "Mimi" instead of "Emmy" when she was learning to say my name.
10. I love to read. I get lost in books and you pretty much have to yell in my face to get me to zone back in.
All of this, especially the bolded part.
Got slammed at work but still wanna play...
1. I'm INSANELY narcissistic. I can look in the mirror 50+ times a day.
2. I have horrible self image and severe body issues. How do #1 and #2 coexist? I have no idea...prolly explains why I'm a loon
3. I hated my brother's ex-wife and never said anything. After the divorce, he said he wished I would have said something b4 they got married. Now I hate his current GF. Oh the dilemma...
4. I can fit my fist in my mouth. And no, I don't have small hands, just a big asss mouth (see pic above)
5. My meal of choice is pizza, beer and ice cream.
6. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and get irritated/mad when people can't get things right.
7. If it didn't damage my real nails, I would wear acrylic nails all.the.time. Love them and how they look.
8. I love my pug-face so much it hurts. I also worry for the day when she'll no longer be with us.
9. I have 15 pairs of jeans in my closet (and another pair on the way) and only 2 that I wear regularly.
10. Lately I've been obsessing about death. Will I die first? Will DH? Will we have lived a long life, or will it be cut short like so many stories I hear daily? How will we survive w/o the other?

I like this! Good idea. I am a naughty non resizer. I apologize.
1. I have a horrible singing voice but my mind is a steel trap for song lyrics.It's unfortunate.
2. I am an avid daily reader - fiction, not non-fiction please.
3. I cannot stand repetitive noise or multi-media.
4. I spend too much money on things I don't need.
5. I dream of winning the lottery way too much for a person who is not a consistent lottery ticket buyer.
6. When my dogs die, I fear I will have an immediate nervous breakdown that will last for a long time.
7. I can't stand dirty houses. Messy fine. Dirty not fine.
8. I throw great get togethers, be it something planned for 100 or an impromptou gathering of 10. Everyone always loves to come to our events, and that makes me really happy.
9. I overstock my pantry because I fear running out of something (this runs in my family for generations)...meanwhile I could feed four people for at least a month.
10. A few of my favorite things: open windows, a good meal, flip flops, DVR, cardigans, red wine, volunteering, texting, quotes, iced tea, easy breezy dresses, fresh flowers, making soup, homemade quilts, Lancome Definicils mascara, the shore, day baseball games, and on and on.
