Re: Friday's here! And a poll
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
I can knit and I can fix a toilet or install a light fixture.
How many boyfriends did you have before your H?
I kissed 114 boys before meeting DH. About half of those I would consider boyfriends of any amount of time. I liked smooching in my youth.
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go? In a heartbeat. Paris if money were no object and I had a good job opportunity. Belize, if I could truly be a woman of leisure and I didn't have to work.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas)
Before I go to Sleep. I really am enjoying it. Loved the Hunger Games recently too.
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
H and I just recently started fire spinning, and it's quickly becoming my favorite thing to do. I spin with fans. It is so much fun and such a rush.
How many boyfriends did you have before your H?
Five serious ones. Only two of those that I seriously thought I would end up with in the end.
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go?
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas)Yes. No thought. We would move to Massachusetts, H's home state. I love it there and have always wanted to live there.
Different Seasons by Stephen King. I love it so far.

What is fire spinning, bay? I'm very intrigued
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
I'm really into sports. Like, I pretty much know everything that is happening in every sport on any given day.
How many boyfriends did you have before your H?
One for serious one.
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go?
Today? I would go just about anywhere. DH got let go today. So, I'd pack up and go to wherever he could find a decent job.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas)
Bumped by Megan McCafferty and You Must Be This Happy to Enter by Elizabeth Crane (which is a short story collection). I'm rather enjoying both of them
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
That I am very handy and have my own toolbox and power tools thanks to my dad. I was the only girl at college with a tookbox. The guys would come to me to borrow stuff or I would have to hang the photo/poster on the wall for them. HAHA!!!
How many boyfriends did you have before your H? Serious BFs.....4. DH was lucky #4.
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go? Probably move somewhere near the beach. I find the beach very peaceful and makes me happy.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas) : I'm reading "Sing you Home" by Jodi Picoult
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
I bake
How many boyfriends did you have before your H?
ummm 1 serious one
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go?
I don't think so, I mean I love my area so if i could, I would get a house with a yard, but no I don't think I would up and leave NJ
What are you reading right now
nothing, but we are leaving for vacation tonight and I packed eat pray love to finally sit down and read
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
Not really sure. I think people are surprised that I am learning how to knit.
How many boyfriends did you have before your H?
1 serious. He was a few years older and a lot more immature. After we broke up, MH and I started dating and that was that
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go?
Yes, I would do it. Except I have no idea where I would go. The world is just too large of a place. Can I be a nomad instead?
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas)
I am still reading Cutting for Stone.
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people? Um, I actually don't think I ever surprise anyone. That's kind of a sad realization! I need to spice things up, I guess.
How many boyfriends did you have before your H? 1 serious, 3-4 childhood "boyfriends" but they were for pretty short amounts of time
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go? Somewhere tropical, like the Virgin Islands. I am probably not gutsy enough to ever do it though.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas) I just finished The Help, and it was FANTASTIC. I should be going to Book Club with my local nesties tomorrow to discuss, but I am really sick so I probably won't be going.
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people?
I am surprisingly more athletic than most people realize. (I look pretty fragile). I am terrible at team sports, but have a natural ability for horse back riding, running, and other "individual sports."
How many boyfriends did you have before your H? Too many to count. Really. I dated a lot - from age 15 to age 29. Even just months before Dh and I got engaged I was dating a couple guys (we had broken up, and Dh surprised me by coming back and professing undying love for me
). Some relationships were long-term (a year or more) including an engagement that didn't work out about 6 years ago, and some were much shorter. I actually WISH Dh had been my one and only man ever.
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go?
Yes, Washington state. Because my beloved sister is moving there soon and it's waaaay too far away from where we currently live.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas)
Too overwhelmed with work to read for fun right now.
Still working on the biography of Saint Pio that I've mentioned several times lol.
Dancing with something on fire.
Example (THIS IS NOT ME, and I don't look this cool when I do it):

What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people? Hmm, well I don't do anything very surprising, but it probably depends on context. Indians are always really surprised to find out I cook Indian food (they assume it would be really hard to learn if you're not Indian, but I think cooking is very learn-able). People I went to grad school with or work with are usually surprised that I do anything artistic because it seems so far off from our field.
How many boyfriends did you have before your H? Four. I dated a lot, but most dates didn't turn into anything. Of the four relationships, one was really serious (in the sense we would have gotten married). The other three I never really thought I'd stay with forever.
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go? I would totally do it! I'm a huge risk taker and I would love to move around. I've always wanted to live and work in East Asia. Hong Kong and Shanghai are top choices. I once turned down a job in Indonesia and I've always regretted it.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas) I'm swamped with life right now, so no reading. My friend just gave me a negative review of The Glass Blower of Murano.
Bay, you're into history so if you haven't read Georgette Heyer, she's very entertaining and I think you'd love her. Also, my Godmother who passed away last year wrote historical novels. I find some of them a touch disturbing, actually, but A Vision of Light is my favorite.
Whoa... that is one cool hobby.
What's one hobby or skill that you have that surprises people? I'm not sure any of my hobbies or skills surprise anyone who knows me, but I used to be an avid sewer and designed some of my own (simple clothing). After spending a week in a kick-@$$ beach house that had things like surfboard throw pillows, I'm dusting off the sewing machine this week to make my own!
How many boyfriends did you have before your H? Not counting high school boyfriends. My adult-life boyfriends totaled seven. Which sort of blows my mind when I think about it. I thought one other might be The One, but clearly was wrong!
If you could pick up and move your life TODAY, to any place in the world you wanted, would you do it? And where would you go? I'd pick up and move on to Charleston, SC, H's hometown. We are planning to move there next summer (had previously considered moving up our move, as I had posted about a few weeks ago), but we've decided to definitely put it off until next year. We just have too much to do and so much more money we can save up while paying down the last of my debt.
What are you reading right now (if you are a reader? I am and I need ideas) I'm rereading HP7 right now in advance of the release of Deathly Hallows Pt 2. Yes, I'm a nerd.<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="D
