Can I join you ladies?
Hi girls! I was hoping I would be able to join you guys on this board. I was married June 15, 2008, and have been a long time lurker on this board (and by long time..I mean really long time). Seriously, ask me any questions about yourselves that you've discussed on the board and I can pretty much guarantee I'll be able to answer them (creepy, I know).
Anyway, I created a new screen name so that I can start fresh (I used to be Bride2Be615), and hope to actually keep up with posting.
I'd love to say that I hope to get to know you all better..but I actually know you all pretty well haha..so if you have any questions you want to ask me, feel free! Oh, and if you really want to test my lurker skills, ask any questions you want about yourselves. I read this board on a daily basis!
Re: Can I join you ladies?
Nice to meet you ... tell us about yourself, name, where you live, kids, furbabies, facebook, anything let lets us investigate you furthur. You do have the stalking advantage here.
It was my post that brought you out last week wasn't it?!
Welcome
and yes, yes, we'd like to hear about you!
OK...one quiz question, what is my dog's name?
Tuck. (I hope I'm at least close!)
Hey! Welcome out of lurkdom. What brought you out?? I'm curious.
My quiz question...what is my kid's name?
Hot damn! She's a keeper!
LOVE it! Coming out of lurkerdom! Glad to have you!
My quiz question: Name the weirdest thing about me that you can think of.

My name is Marta (weird, I know). I was actually born in Russia and came here when I was almost 5 years old. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA with my hubby and my baby girl who will be 17 months old this Sunday. My house is entirely too small, but thanks to the wonderful housing market we're in, we're not going anywhere anytime soon.
No furbabies, although my hubby begs for a dog pretty much every damn day. I love dogs..but they are way too much work, so I much rather enjoy other people's pets. My daughter is Olivia Jade..but we called her "Peanit" when she was in my belly (yes, I know it's spelled Peanut, but we often talk like morons, hence the spelling since that is how we pronounced it...hence the username). I'm a Realtor and absolutely LOVE my job!
Trick question. You don't have a kid haha. Sneaky, sneaky!
I love your name, I'm reading a Russian book right now so I feel oddly close to you, and a late congrats on the baby!
I like to hear about people who like their jobs. Do you stay at home with your daughter during the day and show houses in the evening?
Haha..this is hard cause I can't really think of anything that you've mentioned that's been weird. Sorry! Can I just say though that I absolutely love your hair??
You have baby Vodka which is a close relative to my kid.
Your 2 boys that are like 11 months apart, Jack and Jim, right?
They're a rowdy bunch!
I'm sorry Peanit, I hope we don't scare you away.
Aw, gee, thanks!

Ha! Are you kidding?? Just one of the many reasons I joined!
She needs to have a 3rd so she can have a Jose too ;-)
Aww thank you! I hated not being able to buy a pencil with my name on it though.
I usually stay at home during the day, but our neighbor sits for us when I have to go into the office or meet with clients. I usually show homes in the evenings and work every weekend, which surprisingly, I don't mind too much.
Hahaha, exactly.
Yay! Welcome! Were you on The Knot board too, or just The Nest?
We need baby pics! And wedding pics!
This! Lurkers on national boards aren't weird... but I think we all think we're "safe" here. Regardless, nice to "meet" you and hope you stick around!
Our crazy, wonderful life
