This is a really neat idea, bay!
Your H: He's my rock. He knows how to keep me grounded. He's very understanding and supportive of what I want to do. He's an extremely hard worker and, whatever goals he sets for himself, he won't stop until he reaches them.
Your job: I get the chance to do a lot of different things. I love all the opportunities I've had here. I started in the file room four years ago and have moved up to being a team lead. I got to travel to different offices to learn new processes. I just recently got to learn about Six Sigma and, hopefully, will be able to start working on that certfication in the near future.
Your appearance: I really love my hair. It's in really great condition compared to how it used to be. It's so soft and silky. I also think that I have really nice legs. Well, the lower half of my legs, at least
Your future plans: I really look forward to becoming a mom, like nothing else. I think DH will make an awesome father. I think we'll make a pretty awesome parenting duo. I also can't wait to start going back to school.
Your intelligence: Well, I rock pretty hard at Wheel of Fortune
But in all seriousness, I think I'm fairly intelligent, especially when it comes to math. I just love numbers so much.
Your weekend plans: Well, today is my 25th birthday, so we're going to celebrate just the two of us tonight (I'm thinking ordering in some Italian food and having a bottle of wine).
Your special talent(s): I play the cello and I'm fairly good at it, if I do say so myself. I really want to get a new one and possibly try out for the orchestra at the community college.
Fun idea, Bay!
Happy Birthday, Scarlett!
Here we go...
Your H: He is so supportive of anything and everything I do.
Your job: I enjoy the opportunities to learn about new guidance and regulations re: computerized systems used to support clinical trials.
Your appearance: This one is tough, but here goes - I think I have awesome lower legs and seriously kicka$$ calves.
Your future plans: Eventually find a bigger place to live, focus on career growth and in about 2 or 3 years start TTC.
Your intelligence: Got me through grad school while working full time. I am proud to say I graduated with a 4.0.
Your weekend plans: Lazy Friday, maybe go to the New York Botanical Gardens Orchid Show tomorrow and Easter lunch with my in-laws on Sunday.
Your special talent(s): I always try to help people see the positive when faced with a negative situation.Happy Birthday Scarlett!!
Your H: How he makes me laugh over random silly things.
Your job: I love my job. The pay is good, the job is challenging but not so hard I want to quit, the people are nice...
Your appearance: I love my boobs and butt.
Your future plans: DH and I decided that we're going to TTC in August, and then put this house on the market Nov 2012
Your intelligence: Got me through high school with over a 4.0 (honors classes).
Your weekend plans: So many plans this weekend!! Tomorrow morning bright an early, going to a work function to see African Cats. Then Easter Vigil at 8:30 PM. Then Sunday is Easter so I am cooking a feast. Going to be a great weekend.
Your special talent(s): I can play the clarinet.Your H: He's amazingly ambitious with his new company, yet still finds time to be an awesome husband. I couldn't be more proud of him.
Your job: I am amazingly fortunate to be able to work from home, prior to the transition to work from home I was commuting at least an hour each way (most afternoons it was an hour and a half to two hours).
Your appearance: I feel pretty lucky to be 5'9"
Your future plans: I LOVE our future plans, just praying that everything works out as planned. H's company is well on its way, in 1-1.5 years we will begin TTC, and once the baby is here, if H's company is doing as well as anticipated I'll be a SAHM until the last LO is in school all day.
Your intelligence: I'd have to say I'm a bit more "common sense" and "street smart" than book smart but I feel pretty good about my intelligence.
Your weekend plans: I'm getting my hair done (cut/color), going to dinner with H on Saturday, making cupcakes for Easter, and spending time with the families on Easter - I'm really looking forward to the weekend.
Your special talent(s): Can being "domestic" be a talent? lol I've been coupon shopping to save money (and loving it), I love cooking, I love doing crafty little projects...I'm working on the "cleaning" part of that lol.

Your H: He has been my hero lately! He is just such a caring, committed guy. Here's one example: His grandmother was admitted to basically a nursing home setting last month. It was time; it needed to happen. The home is run by these amazing nuns and is such a great place, so we all take comfort in that. But still, the transition for his grandmother and mom has been hard. She is happy one minute and sad the next ("This is the end of my life!" You've left me!" - said in her Spanish accent). And H's mom is so teary all the time and afraid that she's "abandoned" her mom. Anyway, when Hubby's parents and sibs were out of town, H insisted we go visit his Grandma. We had such a great visit, just the three of us. He's making it a habit for us to visit her just as a couple. I just love seeing this side of him!
Your job: Haha, after I vented so much. I have fantastic coworkers and boss. They are genuinely great people.
Your appearance: Lately, I've felt better than I have in a long time. I am finally getting some acne under control and learning how to put make-up on properly.
My hair stylist also told me that even though my hair is "fine", I have "a lot of it." For years I got the "you have thin hair" line by friends etc and was paranoid I actually was balding haha. No, I am not. Whew.
Your future plans: I am super excited to learn FAM in depth and start helping people. Also, the other night the words "I'm 30..." barely came out of my mouth when hubby sweetly interjected, "We'll have your babies, honey, don't worry." Eased my mind.
Your intelligence: Okay, I've felt like a bit of an ugly duckling a lot of my life, but this is one area I've always been thankful. I am definitely more "book smarts" than any other kind, though. I'm honored when friends come to me for advice. It's fun to think through or analyze or research an issue with a loved one.
Your weekend plans: Easter Triduum. I am so thankful and in awe of God, and I am a Catholic nerd so I'll spend most of the weekend just soaking the liturgy in with my hubby.
Your special talent(s): Well, again, most of my talents are nerdy.Your H: The little wrinkles around his eyes and that super cool grey streak that runs thru his hair. And I love that he takes care of the car and the trash and the yardwork without asking.
Your job:We had quiche, mimosas and an accordian player at our company mtg this morning.
Your appearance:I have kick ass style IMHO. And beautiful young looking hands.
Your future plans:TTC Soon if I can get DH onboard. Take board exams.
Your intelligence:I'm pretty smart, book smart I suppose. I'm pretty awesome at math as well.
Your weekend plans:The Pixies in Concert, Inlaws for brunch.
Happy Birthday Scarlett!
Your H: He's a take-charge type, and I feel confident that when he's in charge, nothing much can go wrong. He's also highly intelligent and ambitious, so there's substance behind his decisions.
Your job: Just submitted a project proposal. If it goes through, this will look awesome on my resume and I think I have a great chance to be really successful with it.
Your appearance: Perky butt. In general I'm well toned and I have really good control of my body (I can move a lot of my muscles individually and I'm very flexible), but the tight butt is the most fun!
Your future plans: I want to do a lot of travel. Every other year we'll go to India, so then the alternate years I want to visit other places. I have a pretty long list!
Your intelligence: Probably not the thing people will remember me for lol! But I think I'm resourceful, and if it needs to get done, I'll figure out a way.
Your weekend plans: Easter. Church Saturday, dinner Sunday. And if I'm on schedule with my cooking, a special pilates class Sunday morning.
Your special talent(s): Conversation. I can always find out what interests someone and talk with them in a way that they have fun and feel good and on almost any topic. My ILs were so happy because when we were in India people kept telling them "I had such a nice conversation with your DIL about Bengali folk music" or "we had a nice chat about wildlife preserves."GREAT IDEA!!!
Your H: He is so sexy!! and he is so into this pregnancy I love it
Your job: I have the best co-workers and bosses ever!
Your appearance: People seem to think this baby bump is pretty cute
Your future plans: I'm excited to keep planning for this baby and get to hold him in my arms, although I love being pregnant right now and know he is safe and sound in there
Your intelligence: I am pretty good at figuring things out at work
Your weekend plans: seeing family and Easter egg hunts with my nephews!
Your special talent(s):I really don't think I have any! lolOh, this is fun!
Your H: He is amazing. He's making some serious sacrifices so that we'll be more financially secure, in the long term, and even though I'm hating when he's gone, I know it's for good reason.
Your job: My job is fantastic so far. I've only been there a little over a month, but it's really going well. And we get free milk - the little cartons are always in the fridge - so it feels kind of like kindergarten sometimes
Your appearance: The guy at Whataburger on Wednesday told me I am just "so pretty" and if I come back to see him he'd buy my food. Lol. I think it's my smile - I have a very warm smile
Your future plans: DH and I are both getting our careers figured out, and hopefully in the next year or so we'll TTC. I had been thinking sooner than that, but I'm pretty sure he wants to get a few more things ironed out before we bring babies into the mix.
Your intelligence: I'm a slow learner, but once I figure something out, I can get pretty good at it. Like with my job... it takes me a while to understand sometimes, but once I get why I'm doing what I need to be doing, I can rock it and do a great job at it.
Your weekend plans: Since it's now Sunday evening, I'm swapping this to "my week" plans. On Wednesday, our new dining room table is getting delivered. Which means I need to really get a move on about finding my last eclectic chair, and get them painted and reupholstered, because I'm going to have a table and no chairs!!
Your special talent(s): I'm crafty. I have good ideas, and they turn out pretty good. I just don't usually take very much time to be crafty.
