1. How long have you been on the boards? I came over a few weeks after the exodus, but under a different SN that I changed back in January, but have been on TK, TB & TN since 2005. I lurked mostly, though did post some on my local board and BMBs. My favorite board to lurk was Wedding Woes.

6. Any other random tidbits you'd like to share. My mom is one of three girls, I am one of three girls, and I have three girls. DH and I have been together for 15 years, married almost 8. Oh, besides Meghan Fox wearing a Whalers shirt in my avatar, she and I have one other think in common and that's what I call my "tubby" thumbs, lol.
Who were you on TK? I was a reg on NNJ in 2005-2006, married in 2006.

1. I found the knot's boards really far into the wedding planning process so I felt like it would be weird to jump into my month board. So I was a lurker on there and on p&e. The snark got me through my days at work. I found MM shortly after and continued to lurk through the exodus. I finally started posting regularly maybe a year and a half ago? A smartphone and then iPad changed everything.
2. I have three. DD will be four in August, DS1 is almost 2 1/2 and the baby, DS2, is almost 9 months.
3. I SAH now. I have a degree in Finance and previously worked for an insurance company as an underwriter and business developer for niche specialty commercial lines.
4. NKY, Cincinnati suburbs
5. Hmm. I can hyper extend my elbows?
6. What, that I haven't already shared on this board in one way or another?
cosmos I actually was on the CT board, I'm originally from there and that's where we got married Plus, I lurked more than I posted and my SN was a nickname with my wedding date. Later I posted more on TB on my BMBs under a different name.
1. How long have you been on the boards? Knot since 2007, random poster on TN in 2009-2011 and TB in 2011/12. I lurked the move here and started posting in October.
2. How many kids do you have and what ages? One male spawn, 22 months.
3. Work, SAHP, combo of the two? sahm.
4. Where do you live? My screen name is my area code. And yes, we still have a land line. We kick it old school.
5. Tell us something interesting about yourself. I was once photographed by a paparazzi while on vacation (a celeb family was sitting in the beach chairs in front of me). The photo ended up on a well known gossip blog and the irony is that I was reading said blog in the photograph. HA.
6. Any other random tidbits you'd like to share. I had a minor nervous breakdown when one of my bridesmaids told me that George Clooney checked into my wedding venue the day of my wedding. And by minor, I screamed "GO FIND HIM-- HE'S ON MY LIST!!!" at my bridal party mere hours before I walked down the aisle. My real friends actually went on the hunt for him. The rest just eye-rolled my Zilla moment and went to the spa. Whores.

I grew up here and moved to Utah a few years ago where I met my H and then we moved back here last September. 5. Tell us something interesting about yourself. I have a legit phobia of snakes. I can't even see a picture of one without freaking out. *shudder* I'm in the process of making my first DIY baby wrap to wear E on vacation in 2 weeks. I hope it turns out because I love the fabric and want to wear him more often. 6. Any other random tidbits you'd like to share. Ummm...When I was in high school I went to a house party during the summer and the cops got called. As I was leaving (aka running as fast as I could) with friends to avoid getting in trouble my dad pulled up in his cop car and busted me. No MIP but I was grounded for the rest of the summer.

(regional, nothing nuts, lol, but a bragplaint nonetheless!) I am in negotiations for a callback right now actually, so I'm excited to maybe get a post-baby gig!
I also did voice-overs for a while as supplemental income. But my agent and I weren't a good fit. I'd like to get back into that soon though.

Me too! I also used to practically live in the community darkroom in SF. It was the best!
I actually still have all my supplies to develop film in my kitchen (just have to load the film onto the spools/into the tank somewhere dark). I used to develop film at home and scan it with a negative scanner to process in photoshop/send out for printing. It worked really well, but I have no time for it anymore! Sadly, despite having a DSLR, I just use my phone most of the time!

I'll share a funny story.. I live in a sfh, it's the first time I've ever had a driveway. Right after we moved I went to leave for work in the morning and attempted to back out of the garage. Apparently I was at an angle because I ran into our other car! Both cars still have a dent, and DH still won't let me forget it. I was also afraid to back out of the garage did months after that

I wouldn't savor the small moments in life or travel as much as I do, if I didn't have heart problems. So my health has pushed me to really live.
1. How long have you been on the boards? Well, this is embarrassing, but...I started on TK in 2003. I've had various SNs and taken various breaks along the way though. I am not a catfish.
