Lurker saying hi

[SugarKane]

Been lurking for a long time and ashbride's asinine comment made me come out of hiding.

About me....married 5 years (together 10),two kids 7 and 3. Originally from Russia but I've been here 20 years, favorite drink of choice is vodka. Always, always vodka.

Ask me anything, I'm excited to start posting here finally.

Pets? Are you blond? All the Russians I know are blond. Where in Russia? My great-grandfather defected from St. Petersburg in the mid 1800s.

2 cats. They went to live with my inlaws for 2 months after our house was a construction zone from a drunk driver crashing into it. Came back about a month ago and well, I think they like it at the ILs' better.

I'm from St Petersburg as well and very much a brunette. My kids however look nothing like me with their blond hair, blue eyes and I've been asked if I'm a nanny before.

Do you have those beautiful Slavic eyes that most Russian women I know seem to have?

I'm supposed to say yes to this, right? I don't know, I think they're, kind of average brown

What kind of vodka? I am quite fond of the Chopin, a potato vodka that is, oh so delicious.

What does your SN mean?

[Jermys]

We're all dark too, but only a few of us have dark eyes. My brother looks like the Russian side, and I look like the Irish/English side. Genetics are so weird.

I actually really like Absolute Citron. Lately I've been mixing that with the blueberry/acai vitamin water.

G is the first letter of my name and what a lot of people call me. Gmama just kind of became a nickname

I'm referring to the shape of the eye, not the color. Many of the Russian women I know have this tilt/slant(?) to their eyes that is exotically beautiful.

Yeah, I'm a pretty standard Russian jew. Dark hair, eyes and olive skin. When DD1 was born I got excited that she had my skin complexion but that just turned out to be jaundice

[SugarKane]

I'm not really sure flex. I'll have to examine them later

Welcome to the fun. :-)

Thank you for the welcome ladies.

Chesh, I hope I don't completely creep you out by this, you're from Ridgewood NJ, right.? That's where DH and I got married

LOL, not creepy because it's wrong. I'm from NY originally. But my mom grew up in Flemington, for what that's worth.

[SugarKane]

Haha, creepy lurker FAIL. I lived in NY for 8 years as well

[CheshireGrin]

It's kind of hard to miss.

[SugarKane]

There have definitely been many. I wonder if she'd be so proud if her husband stole all the HCG drops from all the stores in her town
