*coming out of lurking*

There are always posts on this board (both P&CE related and not) that I want to respond to but never do b/c I feel like I should introduce myself first... Today it was the kid throwing a rock post:

Sibil - It would have taken everything in me not to throw a rock back.

and the Hunger Games question - I'm so excited for midnight tonight!

I'm Renata, I live in NJ, I got married in October and we have a frenchie named Fifi. I used to teach in Newark but now I'm an educational consultant so I work remotely but travel a LOT (bleh it's NOT fun).

Is there anything else I should include?

  • Just start posting. Most of the regulars don't bite.
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

    Haha, great! I never know the protocol.

  • I am so amused that my lame non political post brought you out :) Welcome, pixy is right. We usually don't bite.

  • Thanks! The conversations are always interesting over here. I usually post on F&B but there is only so much you can contribute/discuss that's F&B related. Unless you decide to ask about pantyhose... Stick out tongue
  • Your siggy made me laugh, and your dog is really cute.

  • Normally we ask if Skittles are ok for poor people, but today I'm thinking we should ask if Skittles are a weapon.

    Welcome. I stalk your OOTD on F&B. :)

  • Frenchies are awesome!

    I have a Boston and so does Pixy. When they grow up, our Bosties are going to get married and we'll each sew them their own little outfits and make them a skittles wedding cake. We will then become meddlesome inlaws who will bicker over which house they will live in after the wedding.

    I'm not sure why I felt the need to tell you that story but I did.

    Welcome!

    Today my answer is: apparently you can't pair skittles with some iced tea & a hoodie SadAngry

    Thank you :) I stalk SMo's OOTDs and have been trying to get her to blog more!

    Welcome!

    Love that story and Bostons too! H & I volunteer for an organization called S.N.O.R.T. that rescues brachycephalic dogs and they get a lot of adorable Bostons. Fifi is a rescue... her original parents got divorced and neither wanted her. She doesn't even remember them now. Probably because we let her do things like this:

  • Welcome!

    I love dog people.  It has nothing to do with my five rescue pooches I assure you ;)

  • I need a little more information about you.  Not for your introduction, but so that I can effectively find out where you live and steal Fifi.  :)

    You have to warn the newbs if there's going to be MIL fight. It's only fair. :)

    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.
