Interview Me!!!
Sorry about all the confusion yesterday -- I thought I was going to have a quiet day at home with a 9-month old, but alas...
So here I am! Let me have 'em!
Re: Interview Me!!!
Would you consider working in another area of law?
What is your favorite non-chain restaurant on the south shore? what is your favorite beach in MA?
What's your favorite song from Rent?
I had a dream the other day that you announced you were pregnant with BabyCubed. Any chances of that happening? Time frame?
What did you do yesterday?
What is the most pointless thing on your desk?
Did your lips fall off from using that lipgloss?
What color are your finger/ toe nails?
Is being a mom easier or harder than you thought?
What kind of car do you drive? Do you like it?
How are Loki and Freya?
Stand up for something you believe in.
Yes - I really want to get my foot in the door for litigation, but it's hard because no one wants a paralegal without experience these days, so any way for me to get said experience would drop me down to entry level and cut my pay.
Sake Sushi in Braintree just opened in October and I LOVE it. It's also right up the street from my house, so win-win.
As for beach, I'm going to have to say Nantasket. Not the prettiest, but it's the one I've been going to since I was little, so it's always going to have a place in my heart.

If you had to move to a different city/town in MA, which one would you pick & why?
What have you found to be the best parks/play houses/kid friendly places to take Sammi?

Halloween. There's just so much emotion behind it, and it's one of my favorites to belt out with friends.
It's in the distant future, but no time soon. Probably once Sami is in school we'll think about BabyCubed. We just can't afford a 2nd child right now, and I'm not going to be one of those people who can't provide for my baby just because I want a bigger family. I would rather spoil my one child rotten then not be able to give both children what they want and need.
(oops, hit post too soon)
Woke up, took care of Sam, she napped, so I did laundry and dishes, and once she woke up we ran to WalMart and then spent the afternoon at my friends' house until my therapy appt at 3pm, and then I went back to their house because they were watching Sam for me, and I hung out there until Sam started getting tired around 7pm, put her to bed, Chris and I made grilled cheese sammiches and caught up on some shows, and then I was in bed by 10pm. Boring.
A gigantic green D20
No, they did not, but they did start peeling. I don't know if it's because of the expiration date, or because of the lip gloss itself not being my usual vaseline, but yet... its has since been disposed of.
Toes are Opi's Bright Lights-Big Color, and my fingers are a peeling CND Shellac'd Tutti Frutti
It's pretty much exactly what I expected, plus a lot more fun!
A black 2004 Toyota Matrix. I love it, I just wish it had AWD, a sunroof, and wasn't 7.5 years old...
They're great! Loki's still getting used to the fact Sam can move now, but it's a work in progress. And Freya is still treated like a princess at my parents' house, so it's all working out.

I don't think I would. I've lived elsewhere - Woburn, if that counts - and I couldn't wait to move back to Braintree. I love my suburbia.... BUT if I had to move somewhere else it would either be out east to P-Town or our West to Lenox.
My friends who already have kids are one... the beach is fun, other than her wanting to eat the sand. And just wide open fields where she can play in the grass. I mean, I check the area where she is to make sure there isn't anything that can hurt her, but she really just likes moving right now. I haven't taken her anywhere kid-friendly yet, like no playgrounds or anything like that, but soon.

What is your favorite movie?
One of the youth I am working with wants to be a paralegal. Any advice?
What's your favorite song right now?
Who's your favorite Niner?
What's your biggest pet peeve?
What's your worst habit?
Would YOU eat a live octopus for $1,000?
It's a toss-up between Empire Records and Mallrats.
Learn computers. Know Outlook, Office, Windows... take law-related classes and try to aim for a legal-based major. If not, try to definitely take a certificate program... the more knowledge and training the better.

Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars
no fair... picking my LEAST favorite would be so much easier!
Fake people.
Picking my skin...
All of it, or just, like, a tentacle that still happens to be alive?
updated 10.03.12
What's one quality you wish Sammi would inherit of yours? Of Chris?
What do you like best about your job? Worst?
If you could change careers without having to go back to school or take any kind of paycut or anything (magic!), what would you want to do?
Hmm. I'll say tentacle. With suckers still sucking at your mouth as you swallow.
Do you still play WoW?
Whats your favorite video game ever?
Whats the worst game you've ever played?
Will you let Samma play video games?
Of mine, I want her to have my drive and ambition to do things. Of Chris, I want her to be able to let what other's think of her just roll off her back...
I love my job because for the first time in my career I feel truly appreciated. The worst? We're a 9-person company, and I think we're still failing. Pay raises are at a freeze, benefits are shot, and we're praying every day that we have all the same clients we had the day before. Pretty stressful.
I think I would want to go into veterinary medicine.

You know what? I just might... I like calamari enough, so sure, why not?
updated 10.03.12
Currently, I do not, but I'm looking to start my account back up after Friday when I get paid because I miss playing, especially when Chris is playing Rift once Sam goes to bed.
Final Fantasy VII
I hate to say it, but LOST: Via Domus.... such a disappointment.
Absolutely. Especially with the Kinect out now, and the DS portable games. So many options!

I don't blame you for wanting out of Woburn. Not a fan of that city...

We're probably going to get the Sesame Street game thats supposed to be coming out for Kinect. And the Cookie Monster game for Wii Just waiting for Phoenix to get old enough to actually be able to play them, lol
Is there anything you really hope Sammi is into when she's older (a sport or activity, etc...)? Anything you hope she'll avoid?
What is your all time favorite Halloween costume that you've had? What will Sammi be for Halloween this year (if you know)?
Who would you choose to play you in a movie about your life?
What's your favorite number? Does it have any significance?
Would you rather live in the shirt pocket of a sweaty giant or in his shower drain?
What is your favorite show to watch now that Lost is over?
I really want her to take karate or some other form of martial arts.
One year I dressed up as Noriko from Fushigi Yuugi (it's an anime... don't ask). It was pretty kick@ss. As for Sam's costume this year, I haven't even thought that far ahead yet....
oh gods, I have no idea... I really don't care for celebrity much, so I don't even know who I would compare myseld to.
6. And no, none that I can think of...
Shirt pocket
it's hard, because nothing has grasped me like LOST did. Law & Order has always been at the top of my list. I loved Game of Thrones but only because I was a fan of the books beforehand. I watch True Blood, but I would never have a season premiere/finale party for it. And then there's just whatever we have set up on the DVR, which seems to be a lot of reality TV lately -- Deadliest Catch, 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom, Cucpcake Wars, Bridezillas... oh, and I'm watching Franklin & Bash, and although I like it, I have a sad feeling it won't last long. And of course, I will watch Law & Order whenever it's on, regardless of the episode and if I just watched it last week.
