Re: Random poll
What's your favorite color? Probably pink. I like greens too, especially in my house.
How long is your commute? 1 hr to 1 hr 15 mins.
If you could live anywhere other than MA, where would you choose? Hawaii. I would consider PA because that's where my husband's family is, and COL is a lot lower, but I'd really prefer MA.
How old were you when you met your husband? 19.
What are you having for dinner tonight? I think turkey meatballs with some kind of pasta.
What's your favorite TV show? On the air right now, probably Fringe. I miss Lost, I really used to look forward to it every week.
Where are you going for your next vacation? If you don't have one planned, where would you like to go? Nothing planned. I'd love to go anywhere warm and beachy.
How many times do you hit the snooze button in the morning? At least twice. I have one that snoozes every 10 minutes and my phone on every 5 so it is probably more like 4-6 times. I am awful at getting up in the morning.
Do you prefer black or blue pens? Mostly black for writing myself lists, taking notes, and writing on my calendar, but I try to use blue only for signatures.
What's your favorite color? Blue

Where are you going for your next vacation? No idea. We don't have one planned. If you don't have one planned, where would you like to go? Well, there are plenty of places I want to go, but are unrealistic right now: Italy, Caribbean cruise, back to Hawaii, back to Australia, New Zealand, drive California coast.

How long is your commute? About an hour and 15 minutes because I take the dumbest bus route in the world.
If you could live anywhere other than MA, where would you choose? Realistically, San Francisco. Someday we may still move back there, we'll see. In my dreams I could see Hawaii. Everywhere else I've been has been a nice visit but I haven't had a burning desire to live there.

He was my older sister's friend. We started dating when I was 18 and he was 22. I was a college freshman and he was a super senior (aka 5th year- since NEU is a 5 year program).

Do you prefer black or blue pens? Blue hands down
So you finally booked it???
That's kind of amazing that you met your husband as a kid! Were your parents excited when you started dating/got married (assuming they were friends)?
What kind of dance do you teach?
My H did his undergrad and grad at NU, so like 9 years total (because he did his grad p/t at night). We'll be paying that place for years to come haha
DH has finally suggested that we leave DS with the ILs and I don't know if I can do it. Haha
What are you afraid of flight-wise? That he'll get upset and scream the whole time? That's pretty unlikely, especially given what a happy baby he is! And even if he does get upset, most likely he'll get over it pretty quickly.

That's what makes it so frustrating! But I'm just not willing to pay $20-25/day to park downtown, plus tolls, traffic, etc.
That was my favorite crayon!!! Too funny!
I teach ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, etc to kids. Mostly middle school & high school age. Most of the time I love it. I don't love when they tell me about their personal lives. I worry too much.
That sucks. I used to park at Alewife and take the T when I lived in Newton, rather than dealing with the bus. I went up route 60 and then jumped on 2, so it wasn't bad. But that was when it was only 5 bucks to park there for the day, and I was only going to Harvard.
