Re: ask me anything

  • If you could bring back any former TIP regular, and force them to post regularly every day (as a way to un-dead TIP), who would it be and why?
  • Why is Joaquin so damn cute? why is she so damn awesome? Why are you so damn awesome?
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Whatcha wearing? 

    This is my siggy.

  • I'd bring back HS, since she always spurred conversation really well. Since she's coming back sooooon, I'll go with either LovelyMissIkki or OMGGP. Nikki is hilarious and a good instigator, OMGGP always had something factually interesting to add.

  • Who's your favorite trainwreck?
    This is my siggy.
  • Joaquin is preety because she looks just like her daddy. MIL would dress him in blue flannel with overalls, and strangers would catch their breath and tell her what a gorgeous little girl she had. I was cute, but H was agolden haired botticelli cherub. She is awesome because I am awesome. It's genetic.

  • If you could meet any TIPer, who would you choose?

  • Right now Joaquin and I are still in jammies. I have on a black tee and red pj pants that are like 3 sizes too big.

  • How did you come by the name Joaquin?  Because I love it.

  • My favorite trainwreck is probablynstill JL.

  • If OMGGP comes back because you said her name (like Beetlejuice), I'll cut you.

  • How long have you been around TIP/the nest. What brought you here??
  • Your baby is beautiful!

    If you won $100,000 (tax free) what would you do with it?

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)
  • I would meet YOU, of course! (You being the person reading this post. Warm fuzzies!) Really, probably imoan, both because I thinkwe'd have a blast and also so I could use Joaquinto infect her with pro-baby germs.

  • what is your favorite dessert to make?

  • You know her name isn't reallyJoaquin Fetus, right?

    H & I were having a discussion in the car and couldn't even come up with a short list for boys. He was like, well, we'll go backwards. We know we're not going to name it Joaquin. So I immediatelt said, THAT'S IT! THAT'S ITS NAME. So it was her name while she was in utero because we were team green and it was weird to call it It.

  • I've been around for 3 years now, I think. I honestly don't remember why I came around. I started posting on Fm, and while I liked it in general it became clear pretty quickly that it wasn't a home board, so I clicked to TIP? I'm not financally responsible enough for MM, and 'married life' sounded super lame as a title, but I love a.trainwreck, so I ended up on TIP.

  • If I won 100k, I'd splurge on a crazy new TV, go on a clothes shopping spree for me, H & Joaquin, and put the rest in the 401k.

    Oh I know it's not her name.  I meant how did you come up with it as a nickname because I think it's funny.  I would judge you if you were giving out info like your kid's real name and picture.  Stick out tongue

  • Favorite dessert to make is pavlova, because it's super easy and looks impressive as sh*t. It's also super tasty.

  • Are you and Mr Broc done having kids?

    How did you know you were "ready" to have Joaquin?

    We would have more fun than is legally allowed.

    But I'd be sure to get my tubes tied right before our visit... and your plan would be foiled!  bwahahahahaha!  bwhahahahahaha!

  • We knew we were ready because we set a now or never deadline (we had to be TTCing by 2010 or it would be too late for H). When we did we bothrealized we didn't want it to be never, so we used the deadline as a 'get the non-kid stuff out of the way' deadline (namely, going to Europe just the two of us).

    The other question is an even longrr answer, lol. We both vacillate. H feels like he might be too old & tired for a next one. I got a weird PG triggered condition last time around tht gives me an increased risk ofnlovely things like 'crazed maternal clotting' and stillbirth. I have a 70-80% chance of getting it again, but I don't know how much increased increased is, and next time around I'll know what to.look for, so it won't be as uncontrolled. I neednto talk to my OB about it, but if we do try we won't until after Joaquin turns 3. There's a lotnof.researc coming out now which suggests 4 year split is best in terms of both finance and opportunity cost to both kids. Soooo, yeah. Long answer. Lol. And we haven't ruled out adoption either.

  • As a side note, I just bought a dress that is pretty identical to the one Joaquin is wearing in your sig. She's so fashionable!

  • What former TIP reg are you glad is gone, and you'd stab yourself in the butt if s/he came back? (the "he" is in case you want to pick Drama.)

    I miss Drama.  And I was so glad to see last week that he fell for the same stupid azz "free Southwest ticket" bs on Facebook that I fell for.  It made me happy when I saw him repost the link... I felt that if DRAMA got sucked in, I wasn't THAT stupid.

    Hey, I'm just trying not to be sexist! Maybe Broc would like the option of picking a female OR male former reg. It's not my fault that Drama is pretty much the only male former reg!
