Re: Random Questions to keep today going
How old were you when you started dating? I guess you could say I'm a late bloomer. I was 18 when I started dating. I was 24 when DH and I started dating.
What's the best compliment you ever received? I'm not sure. Although I did have a friend tell me that I was a great mother. She loved all of the creative things that I do with Peyton. That meant a lot to me.
When is the last time you cried? I just cried this afternoon but only because I was laughing so hard. DH came home for lunch and I had Clifford the Big Red Dog on for P. He asked me about the paper towels I had bought and I said, "I know but I just don't understand why hamburgers are so expensive". He looked at me all confused. Well, Clifford has a little dog friend named Hamburger. Apparently I was paying more attention to the cartoon than our conversation! I meant to say I didn't understand why paper towels are so expensive. So embarrassing...
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully with another kid, hopefully two more. I'd also like to be a SAHM or at least reduce my already part time hours at work.
How old were you when you started dating? I think I was 16. I remember my parents drilling my high school bf with questions (where are you going, where is that located, who will be there, what time will she be home). Poor kid!
What's the best compliment you ever received? You look like Jennifer Aniston....yeah right! It was some random boy that said this at Tonic (bar in Pontiac) and I'm sure he was wasted. Still, I can dream!
When is the last time you cried? This morning. I was listening to Drew & Mike this morning (weird to be crying listening to them) and they were playing clips from 9/11.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully with 2 or 3 kids and probably working for the same company I'm at right now.
How old were you when you started dating? 17 but I was 26 when I started dating DH
What's the best compliment you ever received? That's a tough question. Probably from my manager that I'm one of the best employees she's ever had and how she appreciates that I'm always positive. I try really hard to not let the negativity of my coworkers rub off on me so it was nice to be complimented for that.
When is the last time you cried? A couple days ago. Thinking about my niece starting 2nd grade and how proud my sister would be of her
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Working at the same place but hopefully in a different position. Maybe in a different house but only if DH and I decide to build a home.
How old were you when you started dating? i had my first boyfriend when i was 14... but we didnt do much "dating". he played football and i was a cheerleader so that and talking on the phone was the extent of our relationship.
What's the best compliment you ever received? when my husband asked me be his wife and spend the rest of my life with him.
When is the last time you cried? i had a migraine about a week ago and it hurt so bad i cried like a baby.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? DH and i will be TTC or already have a baby (we just got married 3 months ago and want to have a few years for just us before starting a family), i'll be a part time yoga teacher (currently working on becoming a CYT and working full time in an office), and we'll have a bigger house.
How old were you when you started dating? Ummmmm 14 - and it was totally lame going to the mall getting a ride with mom kinda date. Real date without parents I was 16.
What's the best compliment you ever received? H told me I was his hero and thanked me for giving him a perfect son after seeing me give birth sans drugs.
When is the last time you cried? Earlier today lol. I'm still blaming postpartum hormones but I cry all the time over nonsense.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Probably pretty similar to where I am now, same house/job/etc. But I am pretty happy with my life so that's a good thing. Hopefully more money in the bank and some improvements to the house, maybe another kid - talk to me in 2+ years about that.
How old were you when you started dating? I think I was 16 or 17 when I had my first "real" boyfriend.
What's the best compliment you ever received? I'm not sure. My aunt often compliments me about how proud she is of me and how she wants to be more like me when she grows up. This is really sweet because I'd like to be more like her!
When is the last time you cried? This morning.
I can't find my wedding ring. And something in my gut is telling me that it's really lost. Thankfully I have my engagement ring but I want my wedding ring too.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? With two little kids, probably at the same house. Getting to the point where DH adn I can go on vacations by ourselves again!
How old were you when you started dating? hmm, I think 16, I was a junior in high school
What's the best compliment you ever received? I still remember riding on the bus to an away softball game when my teammate said i had pretty brown eyes, i still remember that 20+ yrs later. I guess I've always just thought blue eyes were the color to have, so it was a nice compliment
When is the last time you cried? hmm, can't remember, i think i was close to tears on sunday for a few.....usually now i'm crying all the time, sometimes w/DH gone & things I just break down.....and i'm even worse when i pms :-/
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? hopefully w/1 more kid & living in a house (we're hoping to move from the condo in 2 yrs or so), and of course DH will be working around here!
How old were you when you started dating? 14-15ish? (not that parent chaperoned dates really count... but still)
What's the best compliment you ever received? I had a 2nd grader tell me I was beautiful a few years ago, it was super sweet... Second graders don't lie
When is the last time you cried? 3 days ago, my brother got married!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully with a family! (more than just me and DH
)
