  • Name: Erin

    Zodiac Sign? Taurus

    Wedding Date? 5/23/09

    Occupation?  SAHM, formerly a pharmacy supervisor/pharmacy technician

    Any siblings? Yes  Names? Sarah (26) & Douglas (19)

    Any pets? Yes What kind? Cat  Names? Veda - like from the movie "My Girl".

    Any children? Yes, Hannah

    What city do you live in? If GR, what ?side? of town? Allendale

    What kind of car do you drive?  Equinox or Malibu - depends on the day

    What kind of car do you want to drive? I'm actually happy with both of the vehicles we have, when they work that is. :)

    Why do you like the Nest? All you ladies are so nice and it's a great place to vent or get advice. Plus I've enjoyed learning about the GR area.

    What is your favorite restaurant? Not sure I really have one actually.

    What is your least favorite chore? Dishes - even with a dishwasher they are neverending!

    What is your favorite chore? vacuuming

    Where do you like to vacation?  We went to Miami a few years ago and I would love to go back.

    Who is your favorite celebrity? Why? I guess Julia Roberts. I've always liked her as an actress for as long as I can remember - not really sure what it is about her though.

    Do you watch sports?  Yes  If so what's your favorite? Football and baseball

    Who was your first celebrity crush? Jonathan Taylor Thomas - I'm pretty sure all the walls of my bedroom were covered with his pictures in middle school.

    Do you still have your tonsils?  Yes

    What is your favorite cereal?  Not a big cereal eater but I do like Lucky Charms and the Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheats

    What is the first thing you notice about people? Eyes or their facial expressions in general - I hate mimes and clowns because their true facial expressions are covered and I can't "read" them.

    If you were a crayon, what color would you be?  Yellow because it's bright and cheery

    Scary movies or happy endings? happy endings. I can't even watch commercials for scary movies.

    What is the best advice given do you?  Treat others as you would want them to treat you.

    What kind of music do you like and favorite artist? My favorite music is country but I will listen to just about anything really. It kind of depends on my mood. I don't really have a favorite artist though.

    What was your first cd/tape/album purchased? The best I can remember it was an Ace of Base tape. My brother pulled all the tape out of it when he was about 3 and I was sooo mad at him.

    Who is you hero and why?  I guess my mom would be. My sister has special needs and requires a lot of work, my mom is her primary care giver. Some days I think to myself there is no way I could do what she does.

    What is your dream job? As much as I do miss working outside the home, being home with Hannah and any future children is really what I want. I enjoy being a mother and wife and taking care of my family.

    What is your favorite color? purple or pink

    What is your favorite holiday? 4th of July - as a kid it was always the day we went to a parade with family and it was normally the first time we had corn on the cob - one of my favorite things about summer.

    Apple juice or orange juice?  Apple juice - pretty sure I drank apple juice every day of my pregnancy.

     

    Are you a morning or night person? Once I'm awake I'm a morning person. I normally fall alseep on the couch before 10pm so I am definitely not a night person.

     

    Which do you prefer, sweet or salty foods? Sweet - I LOVE skittles (all kinds except the sour ones and chocolate ones they had for awhile)

     

    Ninjas or pirates? Pirates - I read this question and instantly the song for "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" started playing in my head - apparently I have a young child! :)

     

    What was your favorite childhood television program? TGIF on ABC on Friday nights - every Friday the neighbor kids and I would watch this together and have pizza. We would alternate between out two houses. Good memories.

     

    Are you a collector of anything? Nope - I'm trying really hard to "declutter" my house.

     

    If you could be any animal, what would you be? A bird.

     

    If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Fly, hence the reason I would be a bird.

     

    What is usually your first thought when you wake up? "Is she really awake already..."

     

    What do you usually think about right before falling asleep? "I hope Hannah sleeps all night"

     

    What's your favorite animal? I think Kolas are pretty cool!

     

    Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? I think it might be possible.

     

    Do you believe in ghosts? Yes - I swear my childhood home was haunted and I saw two different ones several times - gives me the creeps just thinking about.

     

    Ever been addicted to a video/computer game? Which one(s)? Nope

     

    You're given 1 million dollars, what do you spend it on?  Pay off everything and be debt free plus help family do the same. Enjoy a nice vacation and save the rest.

     

    Have any bad habits?  I crack my knuckles when they hurt  and also chew on my finger nails when I'm nervous.

     

    Which bad habits, if any, drive you crazy?  DH sounds like a cow when he chews gum, which is all the time. I only chew gum on rare occasions.
     
    Any tattoos or piercings? Ears are double pierced but I only ever wear earings in the first holes, also have the cartilage on my left ear pierced but haven't worn an earing there for years. Navel is pierced but I took that out when I got pregnant. I have a "tramp stamp" of 3 four-leaf clovers - got that a month before we got married so I could "keep my Irishness" (my maiden name is O'Bryan)

     

    What's the first thing you notice in the opposite sex? Eyes, particularly the color - Love blue eyes (which DH has)

     

    Are you mostly a clean or messy person? Clean, although that is getting harder with a little one.

     

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?  Anywhere that it is 75 and sunny with a light breeze year round.

     

    If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?  I'd love to go to Paris some day.

     

    Name 1 regret you have: I don't have any - I believe everything happens for a reason and there is no point in regreting things you can't change.

    Which would you rather have, 100 million dollars or true love?  Love

     

    If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be? Health and Happiness for everyone, my brother-in-law to come home safe from Kuwait in a month, a new puppy!

     

    Name 1 thing not many people know about you: DH and I met because I claimed his bed (just to sleep in, I told him I didn't care where he slept but I was l was sleeping in his bed) after a night of partying in college and then I threw up all over it. Apparently that was a turn on for him. Haha! My dad doesn't know that is how we really met.

     

    On the topic of abortion, how do you feel about cookies? I'm not a huge fan of cookies, however, I do like oatmeal raisin cookies.
     
    And last but not least, Do you like Turtles? Sure, turtules are kinda neat!

  • I remember TGIF - "Gonna have some fun, show you how it's done, TGIF!" Wasn't that the intro song?

    Love the story of how you met your husband. Lol college :)

     Thanks for sharing! 

  • I agree with Hoek, your story about how you met your husband is very funny!:)  Um....Ace of Base was really popular when I was in college....I am guessing I am a *few* years older than you!  HAHA  Oh my goodness, I drank Apple Juice everyday when I was pregnant as well!  At the school I worked at we had these pre-packaged apple juice cups and I HAD to have one everyday!  Like mouth watering, NEEDED it.  Then when I had Noah the hospital had them too, I was in heaven.:)

  • I can tell that I'm really close to the same age as you due to my own fond memories of Ace of Base, TGIF, and JTT.  :-)
  • The thought of chocolate Skittles makes me shudder.  And I don't even eat Skittles.

    So... how does your dad think you guys met?  That story... hee hee.

    I'm glad you joined us here.

    Willa 4.6.06 and Henry 10.18.08 Camp Sinki
  • I can't remember the theme song to TGIF actually! I'll have to google it!

    Sorry to make you feel "old" Stargirl. I am 28 - so about a 10 yr difference?

    I never actually tried the chocolate skittles because to me that is just wrong. My thought is that if I want bite size pieces of chocolate I will buy M&Ms.

    My dad just knows that we met through friends - which is true. We had met once, very briefly, prior to the "incident" because my roommate knew his roommates. His roommates locked me in his room right before he came home from work one night as a joke. I had my hair in pigtails that night for some reason and he thought I was someones little sister at first. He let me out and that was it. I claimed his bed probably a month or so later and it was love from then on out. Hahaha!Smile

  • I have had "I saw the sign, and it opened up my mind...I saw the sign!" stuck in my head for the last 24 hours! Haha Good ole' Ace of Base.:)
