Finally stopped lurking

[soxin2]

Username explanation - I'm watching the Sox and a "Sox in 2" ad came on.

I've lurked here and MM for a while, both on GBCN and the other place (where I was/am) a member.

So: Hi!

[mswax]

Hi, and welcome!

[Lilac]

Welcome!

[Awkward]

Welcome! I love that we're getting all these new faces. Can we grill you a little bit? Married? Kids? Job? Location?

Married - yes. 5 years in Sept.

Kids - yes. DD - 3, DS - 10mos

Job - sahm (just quit working).

Location - DH commutes from south (Norwood) to north. We'll be moving soon. Still figuring out to where exactly.

I'm glad you're delurking! It always strikes me as funny to think people lurk on our little Boston board but I know they do. How looking have you been lurking ('fess up!)?

More questions to answer if you please:
Have you ever posted on other boards or just lurked?
What kind of hobbies or interests do you have?
What's your favorite restaurant?

Well, I migrated, but never created a login. I was never a regular. I did occasionally post over there, starting when I was pregnant with DD (so, 3-4 years ago)

I used to post all over the baby side, never really had a "home" board.

I was very (overly) involved in couple message boards, an original and it's spin off, when I was in my early-mid 20s and got burned by the experience so I'm way more cautious/hesitant now. (I'm 33).

I fail at hobbies and interests lately. I watch way too much TV and read and goof off online.

And now I stalk home listings.

Restaurant? What's that? Because I have über-trust issues because of family crap, we're an attachment-based family. So I'm that mom.

I hope I'm not as lame as I sound, but I'm afraid I might be.


I'm obsessed with Hawaii (Oahu mostly).

I'm going to scrapbook again when my kids stop eating paper (if that ever happens).

I'm a history and trivia buff and play words with friends rather obsessively.

I'm a post-college transplant who migrated north from CT then east from Worcester.

I hate snow and spring. I love my husband and his family, so we will always live in New England unless the whole crazy clan moves.

And with that information, I know there's at least one person on here who knows exactly who I am, but she/they don't post super frequently.

Well that's rather cryptic. Welcome to the board in any case and thanks for playing along with 20 questions

lol. I'm just not sure why she hasn't posted. We went to the same college.

20 questions is fun.

Hi!

[pinkroses]

Welcome!  I'm obsessed with Hawaii too (hot)  My favorite is the Big Island, but I have family on Oahu so my trips are always based there.  I am forever making to do lists for my next trip.  I would move there if I didn't love my current job so much.

I want to know who you know!  I am always a little hesitant to post too much info in case someone I know is lurking.  Creeps me out.
