Jealous of your first one!!! My goal is to go to all of them. But we only travel to one a year, so it'll take me a while. I think next April we're going to hit up two of them though!

1. I used to own a wedding planning business. We were pretty successful.

2. I read... A lot. But my favorite author ever is still Stephen King.

3. I have a pumpkin patch tramp stamp... And don't regret it at all.

4. I started dating my H when I was 17 years old.

5. I'm allergic to strawberries but eat them anyway.

[Deleted]

1. I fly fighter jets in the Air Force (it's hard work, but is basically as much fun as it sounds)

2. I have naturally curly hair, which isn't nearly as awesome as it sounds.

3. I have a black thumb. Plants hate me -- they shrivel up and die. I do what everyone else says, but it's no use.

4. I love gadgets and electronics. Apple may very well send me a Christmas card this year for buying one (or two!) of just about every product they make.

5. I love cooking. Living in the UK, it's really hard to find some food that I love from back home (anything Mexican or Southern), so H and I have started doing lots of cooking, and we're really enjoying ourselves. It's way more fun that eating out.

[blindyswife]

1) DH and I were friends for four years, and totally had the hots for each other, before we ever got together.

2) I crochet blankets and scarves. Not good at things that need to be a particular size like hats.

3) I had thyroid cancer, which involved two surgeries and a round of radiation therapy.

4) I used to LOVE scary movies, but ever since I got pregnant with my son, they scare me SO much that it's hard to watch. What's up with that?

5) I hate exersizing and even failed a semester of gym in high school. lol

[blindyswife]

Imoan, I want a pip of the tramp stamp.
Villain- fighter jets? You are officially 100 times cooler than me.
Honey- beads on your hair?

This was a fun idea!

[littlemisschatty]

Honey, I am gonna need a pic of these beads. Aren't they heavy?
I also want to visit 50 states but I am only at like 13 or 14.

[stinker]

1. I have 4 sisters, but no brothers.

2. I first met my husband in junior high. We started dating when we were 18.

3. I have been bungee jumping (3 times), skydiving (2 times) and paragliding.

4. In high school a boy came to my house when I wasn't there to tell my mom that we were destined to be together. When I got home, he sang a song that he wrote asking me to be his girlfriend. I barely knew him. :-| I said no.

5. I love water. I could spend most of my days lounging on a boat or laying next to the pool, beach, lake, etc. However, I am not a very good swimmer.

[imoan]

I've heard of the white bead thing. What's it called again?

You cold, heartless snatch!

[winecheery]

1. I am a professional theater actor and voice over artist that teaches/choreographs on the side, but just because it's I LOVE it, not because I have to

2. I am a vegetarian who finds cooking meals from scratch therapeutic (most days )

3. Someday I want to own a boat. A big one!

4. I love to read. I could read all day. And I read fast, so I'm constantly buying new books. I went through 4 books on a week and a half vacation once.

5. DH and I need to travel frequently. Like every 2-3 months we have to go on a "vacay" of sorts; camp/backpacking, long weekend away...something. And we take huge vacations---somewhere tropical, international, etc---at least twice a year. We are really antsy people apparently!

Wine -- out of curiosity, do you have a Kindle or other e-ink e-reader? If not, you need to get one like now! I read a lot too, and travel, and my Kindle goes everywhere with me. It's amazing. You can even get library books on your e-reader:-)

I DO have a Kindle. My H bought one as a surprise for me right after the aforementioned vacation where I went through all those books!

I love real books still, but I cannot imagine traveling without my Kindle. Literally changed how I can pack for trips now.

[bree425]

1. I have never had my own room. Growing up I shared a room with my sister then I moved in with my husband.

2. I think glitter makes everything pretty

3. I love yoga

4. I live in the house a grew up in

5. Hooded sweatshirts make me happy

[Deleted]

Ooo, fun. Can this suffice for a intro post?

1. I alter wedding dresses as a fun side job. My dh is * almost * done building me an office with an outside entrance and I can't wait to meet clients in it!

2. We got chickens as a wedding gift from DH's friends.

3. I love to run but will never, ever, ever ever run a full marathon again. Ever.

4. I am from Wisconsin, and my accent comes out when I drink.

5. The best summer I ever had was when I lived in Idaho and was good friends with a river guide. I got to go white water rafting as a boat filler almost every weekend. It was great.

[countthestars]

1. I have over 100 second consigns on my mom's side (mom was one of 50 grandchildren!)

2. I am a diehard Patriots fan

3. I'd love to own a bakery one day

4. I am pushing H hard to get a beagle

5. I cheered at the Women's final four in college.

[thoseareradishes]

1. I think I may have a sand crab phobia.

2. I can not say the word peculiar.

3. I try to cook mostly vegetarian recipes. I usually only cook meat once a week. (Wine- have you made any good recipes lately that you'd want to share? Besides ones with mushroom, eww.)

4. We go to Sonic almost every weekend, and I always get the same thing- hot dog, tots, chocolate coke.

5. I grew up near Amish farms and I think it is weird when people get all excited about seeing Amish people.

ps...Congrats countthestars!!

Ha!

[berbles]

1. My H and I are very involved in our local MLS club and their community programs. My H has several of the players' cell pone numbers. We've traveled all over the US to see them play. My H and FIL went to England last year to see them play.

2. I bought a manual drive car before I knew how to drive it. I loved that car. I was forced to buy a new one this year after a minor accident I got another stick. I'm addicted.

3. I have 4 tattoos, but I've only had two sessions. I do them 2 at time; inadvertently. I love tattoo art and would love to end up with a sleeve or partial sleeve, but H isn't a fan and I don't know if I have the balls. My first two are pretty visible (on my inner forearms), but doing the tops of my arms scares me.

4. I'm writing this one from my "throne," as H refers to it. My old-man dog likes to keep me company while I'm in here.

5. I'm not one of those people who goes stir-crazy when I'm cooped up at home. If I didn't have to leave, I could comfortably stay in my house for a long time. Probably a couple weeks.

[SallySparrow]

1. I have five rescue pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) and I've fostered dogs and cats for local rescues. I also help take care of a feral cat colony here in the area.

2. I spent some of the best summers of my life as a camp counselor for various camps. Sometimes I was just a general counselor, sometimes I taught dance/theater/vocal stuff, sometimes I worked at the stables. Loved every minute.

3. I'm a pediatric nurse and my dream job is to work in the NICU or pediatric oncology.

4. I hate the city and cannot wait to move to the middle of nowhere. And, when I do move, I will have horses.

5. I am basically useless around the house. I like to cook, but that's about it. DH does dishes, laundry, and a LOT of the cleaning, and he actually works more than I do. I will help out, but it's definitely not an even split.

This is me. Sometimes DH has to seriously harass me into leaving the house. I like my pajamas too much. And reading books. And not dealing with people on my days off from work. lol

[Bumblebee]

Another avid reader chiming in:

1. I am in two fantasy football leagues.

2. I started wakeboarding two summers ago, and I love it.

3. My favorite book is The Giver by Lois Lowry.

[lauree1183]

1. I have been to 3 continents and it's our goal to hit all 7 before age 35 (we have 6ish years).
2. I love to do anything outdoors. Some of my favorites are backpacking, snowshoeing, running, and canoeing.
3. I am the oldest of 4 children.
4. DH and I have been together for 11 years (married for 7) and he is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me.
5. I love, love, love September-January. Best time of year every year

I'll make this my #1. I am a total homebody and my H has to force me to socialize. I enjoy it when I do, but I'd still rather be at home.

2. I have 3 rescue dogs, pit bull mixes. They are my babies.

3. I own my own business and love and hate business ownership in equal measure.

4. I'm from Ireland and have been living in the US for 6 years. Having an Irish accent in the States is awesome. An automatic 25 extra personality points

5. 6 months after we met, H and I traveled the world together for a year. It was the the most effective relationship test possible.

[Cheesecake]

1 DH and I met through a dating website, after we'd already known each other for a while (but hadn't seen each other for 3 years or so). It was a no photo until you've talked for a while system.

2 I have a fairy tramp stamp, which I love, I always thought I wanted more tats, but now I think this might be enough, unless I do get a white ink text...

3 I love to cook and have a food blog, but after I won an award it started to feel like work so I hardly ever blog anymore (sad!)

4 I hate doing chores by myself, but I cringe whenever DH helps as he never does it right. I'm learning to let go... clean is clean...

5 I'm a total self taught geek, I love tweaking code. It isn't my profession and I only started doing this since my 30th or so. Before that my dad had me believe I didn't understand anything about computers. Turns out, I know a lot and my dad really doesn't...

Fun!

1. I'm am a huge homebody and totally attached to my family, but married a guy who brings me all over the world. I miss my family every day but am still hopelessly in love with my H and love our life together.

2. I'm a horse girl too, bumble and sally! I try to work with them whenever I can (was on the equestrian team in college, taught at a riding camp, and worked with a therapeutic riding program for disabled children).

3. I have what my siblings deemed a "fat tooth". I want anything that is full of butter, cream, fried, or otherwise fatty and delicious either salty or sweet.

4. I watch reruns of Friends on you tube (can only do clips...it's depressing) kind of obsessively. It's my feel-good way to relax I guess.

5. I desperately want a pet but we travel too much! I'd love a dog, but also really really want a teacup piglet. They're great pets! Super intelligent!
