What flower will be the next part of your sleeve?

[amaranth]

If you had a 10,000 to donate to just one charity, what would it be?

[amaranth]

Do you have any names picked out for your hypothetical kids?

[amaranth]

When are you coming to visit me?

It will probably be a daffodil on the inside of my upper arm. Right now my Nexplanon is in the way, so once I get that removed I want to get that space filled in before I have to worry about BC again.

It's probably crazy, but we do! I've told H that he gets no say in what we would name a girl, because I've had that name picked out since before we started dating. Haha. Our ideas for a boy name are less set in stone. We both like the idea of using family names, but we've talked about some other ideas, too. 

Girl: Lillian D'ann. 
Boy: James Patrick and James Michael are the leaders right now.


Patrick is the only one that isn't a family name.

Seriously - if H's schedule changes and he starts going OOT, I'm going to do some travelling while he's gone and a WC G2G is a must!

[bk1]

How are things going with your H's job? Is he still considering the traveling?

[MrsMB]

Do you like Chuck Norris jokes?

I'm trying to figure out how to say this as vaguely as possible. Haha.

No updates, unfortunately. It's still on the table and we know what we're going to do if things move forward, so we're just waiting for news at this point.

[MrsMB]

What's your favorite EO? To diffuse?

It's been a long time since I've heard a Chuck Norris joke! 

Cheesy jokes are my favorites, so yes. Haha.

It changes with my mood.

Lately, I've been diffusing Joy and Orange together a lot, which is a fantastic combo. My default is Thieves and Purification, though. When in doubt, they're my go-to diffuser combo. 

For topical use, my favorite oil right now is probably the Sensation blend. H adds it to the massage oil when he rubs my back, and it's amaaaaaaaaaazing.

I lied, amaranth .

My artist JUST posted a gorgeous drawing of a bird/birdhouse with flowers behind it, and I claimed it to go on the inside of my upper arm. He's going to get back to me in a few hours so we can schedule an appointment in a few weeks. I'll have to figure out a different spot for my daffodil later. LOL.

amaranth stole my original question! I love discussing names.

How many Kate Spade products do you actually own?

Oh Mylanta... An embarrassing number. Purses? Somewhere between 10-15. I also have two wallets, a pair of heels, a pair of Keds, a watch, and some jewelry. I love the watch but I've been less impressed with the quality of the other jewelry, so I probably won't buy any more of that.


For the record, though, I buy all of my KS when it's on sale. lol. The only full price item I own was a gift.

What are your thoughts on twins?

[grover]

Also, you're so close to 5k! Maybe ask us all a different question in a different reply?

Honestly, I don't hate the idea! lol. I told H that it would be great if I could get pregnant with twins - one boy and one girl. Then I would only have to go through one pregnancy and we would have the two kids we want and be done. lol.

That's what I wanted lol

I dislike pregnancy quite a bit. Labor and delivery was a piece of cake comparatively though so I am currently ok with trying for a second. Kinda still hoping for twins lol

Twins run in both H and I's families, no one in our generation has had twins on either side yet, and we're the last to have kids on both sides... so there's a chance. lol.

Same here. My brother and sister are twins, and his brother was a twin. My grandpa's side actually had two set of twins and a set of triplets somewhere down the line. No thanks to triplets though.

The gene apparently only gets carried down on the mother's side (for fraternal twins, identical is pretty random). Good thing because my dad's mom is a twin (fraternal) and her twin had twins, lol. My grandma had all boys!

I was curious about it since my grandma is a twin! I didn't know before I looked into it that releasing two eggs (which causes fraternal twins) was genetic. Identical twins are from the same egg splitting, which is why they are genetically the same. It was super interesting!

[awick14]

estrellita, katespade I'm a twin, and I have twins on my moms side of the family. I hope I don't have twins because that would be terrifying. (At least at first) I am happy though that twins usually don't have twins. DH also comes from a family of twins, but I have heard that they run in the moms side so that won't make a difference. Lol
