Re: Nestie Interview Day
Yum! I love plain skim lattes! I did try a skinny salted carmel latte at starbucks the other day though, it was pretty good! They also had a cinnamon dulce latte that sounded good too! But on a regular basis, I would definitely opt for the plain skim lattes

My jeans from American Eagle. I could spend every day is those jeans and be a happy camper.
Monday night I made the taco bake and it was amazing! My H took the leftovers to work yesterday before I had a chance to grab them!
Hrm...what kind of store? For shoes I love shopping online at Zappos or Endless. As for clothes, I don't really have a favorite. I never can find clothes when I want too. I will hit TJ Maxx and I love the Lucky store for jeans. Sometimes I just wander aimlessly around 12 Oaks hoping to find something.
I hear you on the family and friends thing. It sucks. Weve been out here 5 years and I still dont have any gal pals out here. We should exchange numbers sometime so we can get together for lunch or coffee.
Good idea.
I'm super excited just to see what she looks like and if she'll look like DD when she did when she was born. The baby snuggles are definitely what I'm looking forward to the most. I used to love it when Emma would fall asleep on my chest while I was watching T.V. or sitting on the couch. She was just so sweet and innocent looking. Not that she wasn't when she was awake... but then there was the whole crying issue to contend with from time to time......lol.
Definitely not looking forward to the lack of sleep and late nights again. I'm hoping and praying that she'll be a good sleeper like Emma was and that we didn't just luck out with her. lol
HA! Do I have any special talents?!
I can single--handedly eat a basket of bread in less than three minutes.
I've been told I have a lovely singing voice.
I can tolerate being in the same room with MIL without slapping her.
I make an incredible "donut cake".
At one point I was also pretty good at the piano. I took lessons for about 7 years, but since my piano is still at my parents I don't play very much anymore. I wish I had room for it here.
LoL. Nice.
Definitely pens. I used to not like the "permanence" of writing in pen when I was younger, but pencils always leave smudges all over your hand and I don't really like getting dirty. I also prefer to write in black pen, not blue.
Italy, no question about that, my grandpa was born in Italy and part of his family is still there. I would love to be able to explore the country, meet some family members.
Those are all great talents! Especially that one about the bread... I'm craving bread so badly right now, so watch out, because I'll be all over that bread bowl tomorrow!

I did. In fact, I've consumed so many in the last few weeks I should be ashamed of myself. Yet I'm not. lol. Emma has really taken a liking to them as well, so that has become her "reward" every time she gets enough stickers on her potty chart. How convenient of me to choose that as her reward, right? hahahaha
7-11, Meijer, Target.... I don't discriminate. I get them from everywhere.
Sassy ? How was DH's work party last weekend? (That was last weekend, wasn't it?)
Mardoll ? Has anyone ever told you that you resemble any celebrities?
Booger ? What fall shows are you looking forward to watching the most?
Spence ? What are some of your favorite movies?
Latte ? Have you been working on getting that visual of your boss and his son for me?
Peanut ? What is the significance behind your screenname?
Mere ? What do you miss about New York?
Kzoo ? Do you and DH have a Halloween party every year?
Katiebird ? Where are you staying hotel-wise when you go to Disney World?
Jennic ? Did you and DH ever resolve the issues with FIL's wife? I seem to recall some strange drama about some used luggage that she gave you guys and DH blowing up on her. Then there was something in regards to some work drama too. I think I need a refresher please.
Oh I am sorry, is it silly to ask have you always had it?
I haven't seen these Nesties around yet today, but they may yet appear!
bronco ? When is your women's retreat for church? Did you ever arrange for all your childcare needs for that weekend?
mumegs ? Do you have a feeling on whether you're having a boy or a girl?
babya ? Have you already started thinking about how you're going to decorate the new house?
Jholbel ? What hospital are you delivering at?
VW2181 ? Did you ever manage to get the present/album done for the pageant coordinator (I believe that's who it was)?
Cwimer ? When are you moving into your new house?Only trip we have taken was up to Mackinaw for a few days, we had a wedding up there and the week we went was probably the worst week weather wise. It was cold and rainy for the day we were there. Morgan had a winter coat and hat on the whole time. We didn't do much walking becuase of the rain. We were going to stay for a second day but the weather was supposed to be be the same so we headed back to my IL's cabin.
Nope, we've never had one before. I don't even know if he knows i'm thinking about having one this year

Not silly at all! I was definitely born with it, but it wasn't discovered until I was 7 or 8.

Crap! I forgot. He is out today, so remind me tomorrow. I would have gotten a good one on Mondy too. He was dressed to impress *sarcasm*.
We're staying at the Old Key West resort. The pictures online look nice and I'm excited that the room has a full kitchen...eating out every day gets old.
I think I got all the questions that were mine.
Spence- What do you usually do when you have free time? It depends, I love doing all kinds of stuff. If I'm with DH we're usually relaxing at home watching tv or movies, working in the yard, shooting, hanging out with friends.
What are some of your favorite movies? I love stupid comedies and romantic comedies. Some of my faves are The Jerk, Zoolander, 50 First Dates, pretty much any of Will Ferrell's stupid comedies (Night at the Roxbury, Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, Step Brothers, etc...)
Florida or Alaska? Alaska, I'm not much of a beach person and my BFF took a trip to Alaska and I fell in love with it when I saw her pictures.
What's your favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon? Go shopping with my sister, mom, sister in law and cousin.
I did not.
I thought 3 months would be enough time for everyone to get me some photos, but apparently it wasn't. 
I'm hoping to have it finished by Christmas!
I did manage to put together a slideshow if you're interested in seeing it.

People- my friends and my family. I miss going out to dinner with a group of my college girlfriends monthly and coffee regularly with my bff. I miss that my parents and ILs were 1.5 hours away. And knowing where everything is- stores and such, without having to google map it
Mostly having a go to girlfriend to call up and set up a coffee night or dinner. 
I can't wait to go home Friday night! I'm staying with my bff, doing a spa day and dinner and drinks for a bachelorette party for her sister, and then meeting my college friends the next day for brunch before I head home. It's a weekend away without the kids or dh, and with a few of my closest friends.
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
mumegs ? Do you have a feeling on whether you're having a boy or a girl?
I am really hoping it's a girl, because DH was a terror as a child and I'm scared to have a boy and have it be like him! Plus the plan is to name her after my grandma, she died right around the same time as I got pregnant. It wouldn't be the same if it was a boy, or if we had another girl later.
We had a great time. Its held at the Troy Marriott and we pretty much take over all the banquet rooms. They have dinner followed by an award ceremony for all the big sales goals achieved and then dancing/partying afterwards. Usually during the awards ceremony they let the people talk forever, but because they know a lot of people are U of M fans, they would start playing music after 30 seonds (like they do at the Emmy's). It was quite funny. Once the awards were over they put the U of M game on two big projection screens. There was a lot of yelling and cheering. One of the better partys we've been to. Also one of our good friends was named manager of the year. So it was exciting for him.
I like Fruity Pebbles too, but it always bugged me how they leave that film in the top of your mouth.
I'm a little nervous about having a boy for the same reason - but I think DH just has so much crazy in his blood that it doesn't matter if its a boy or a girl. I got myself into this mess, so I only have myself to blame!
This is exactly how I feel too!!!
