I'm newish and bored. Ask me anything?

[sicilygirl]

I've been on TN and here since 2007 but in the past I've rarely had time to post. I've just started being able to post a little since work is crazy slow right now. Anyone willing to entertain me for a while?

Basics: I'm 28 and live in Texas with my husband and dog.

What are you goals for this year? Next five years? Next 10 years? Financial/life/whatever...

[sicilygirl]

This year? We set up pretty specific financial goals for ourselves this year for the first time since we built our house in 2009. We upped our retirement contributions to 20%, are finally getting our e-fund to our desired amount, and we're saving for a trip to Italy. Otherwise, this year we're just focusing on our careers.

Five year? Have a baby.

Ten years? Open up my own CPA practice with my husband.

What kind of dog?

What is your favorite song of the moment?

Are you and your H both CPA's?

What are you having for dinner tonight?

What was the last movie you saw in the theater?

[Pom]

What region of TX do you live in?
Do you own your home?
Are you a TX native?

[sicilygirl]

Our dog is a fox terrier mix.

I'll have to think on the song. I've been listening to audiobooks on my commute lately, so I can't think of any off the top of my head!

I'm a CPA, and my husband is working on becoming one. He's a finance grad, so he is currently taking the extra accounting classes he needs to sit for the exam and then he'll take the exam next year.

For dinner tonight, we're having seafood cioppino.

We saw The Hobbit on New Year's Day. I liked it but thought it was too long.

We live in central Texas. Right in the middle of Houston, Dallas, and Austin.

We do own our own home. We built it about 3 years ago, and we love it.

Not only am I Texas native, but I'm also a native of the town I currently live in. Ha.

Thanks!

If I had to choose, Cowboys... even though they're horrible. They were good when I was a kid. We're really more of college football fans. Gig 'em Aggies!

Are you an Aggie? They had a great year! My niece just graduated in December.

Hmm, wrong answer :N: (Because I'm a UVA fan so Schaub elevates the Texans and I'm a native DC metro gal so Cowboys is ALWAYS the wrong answer ;D )

If you could travel to one place for 2 weeks, all expenses paid, where would you go and why?

[sicilygirl]

Yep, I'm an Aggie! It was definitely an awesome year for us... the best season in my lifetime. But since the last time we had a good season was in 1998, I think we were due.

Congratulations to your niece!

I still feel like the Texans are so new. Bring back the Oilers! I really don't watch the NFL at all, so just ignore me.

Well, we're going to Italy for 2 weeks in the fall, and it's the trip we've been dreaming of since we got married. Other than that, I think maybe the UK. I've never been. I'd love to go to London and travel all over Scotland and Ireland too.
