Q's

[blindyswife]

Dudes. I'm bored. How about another small GTKY?

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? Me- I think green bean casserole. But to be fair, I'm a piggy and I like it all!

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? I'm a huge name nerd and we've got a big list. Current favorites at the moment are Malcolm, Peter, Bonnie and Betsy

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? Nothing terribly exciting. Maybe going shopping for a new couch. Aren't I exciting?! .

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish?

I actually despise turkey, I like turkey sandwiches... but to eat it straight off of the bird... not so much (I'm weird), and I don't really like any of the sides either... I guess if I had to pick, the mashed potatoes. I used to love the Hawaiian roll, but I'm gluten sensitive now and can't have them

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? I would love to name my son (if it is a boy) after my adoptive father, Kurt, but alas, I'm having trouble matching a middle name that sounds as good as his (Russel). If you have any ideas through them my way! Girl is undecided... probably will carry a grandmother's middle name though.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? Cleaning out our weight room... ughh... baby room (if this baby is sticky), so that the company we have coming over on Thanksgiving have someplace to sleep.

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? I'm hosting too! Though it's like my second or third time...I LOVE stuffing. I have an awesome recipe! Being vegetarian, Thanksgiving is all about the sides for me


2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? I'm a huge name nerd and we've got a big list. Yes. They are old-timey and unique, but not too outlandish that people will go "wtf" at them...I think


3. Whatcha doing this weekend? Ummm praying AF doesn't show! No but really, going out of town with friends. Very excited!

Most middle names will probably sound strange to you since you're used to hearing that specific pairing, Kurt Russel. But, imo, there are tons of mn that work well with Kurt. I'd
Probably pair it with a two syllable mn: Kurt Matthew, Kurt Michael, Kurt Charles, Kurt William.

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? This potato dish - it's a showstopper and it makes everyone else forget about what they *thought* was their favorite dish www.myrecipes.com/recipe/potato-gratin-rosemary-crust-50400000108677/

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? Yep, a million We're name nerds and have talked about them for years. The boy names are all family names; the girls are total classics.

[krystee]

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? My mom's mashed potatoes. There's cream cheese in the recipe, and it makes the potatoes so creamy and delish!

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? We like Benjamin Martin, Ryan Martin, or Jack Martin for a boy (Martin is my grandpa who passed away right before we got married; I adored him) and Kate Elizabeth or Amelia Rose for a girl.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? My dad is out of town so I'm having a girls' night with my mom on Saturday. On Sunday, I'm meeting a friend at the local forest preserve for our weekly five-mile walk. In between those things, DH and I will hang out, catch up on DVR'd TV, etc.

[magpie]

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish?
Definitely my homemade, mac and cheese casserole with extra fancy cheese. I make it every year because I'm vegetarian and I like to have something "special" for dinner instead of turkey. I love all the sides too!

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC?
Yes for girls, no for boys.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend?
We have made a pizza and a movie at home date for tomorrow night (yes, we are exciting!) and then we have a fancypants thing for my work Saturday night. I'm glad I'm at the beginning of a cycle so that I can take advantage of the free open bar!

You got it sistah! :Y:

[FastHands]

I want in on the finger-crossing action!! lol I'm due Tuesday or Wednesday.

1. I have to have my stuffing and sweet potato casserole!
2. We haven't discussed it at all except in a comical way ("How about Bookenhagen?" after watching The Omen), but Emily Joan has recently wedged itself in my brain for a girl.. No ideas for boys, but something on the traditional side.

3. Saturday I will be wiping my computer and reinstalling everything. I have a work event Saturday evening. Might try to help a friend with a project Sunday and getting some more home improvement supplies. Oh and probably POAS. lol

[asms79]

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? We're actually vegan, so we don't have traditional Thanksgiving food. In our house it's referred to as "Thai-Giving" because we have it catered by our favorite Thai restaurant. ;D I do make a killer Caramel Apple Pie though!

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? For girl names we love Stella (that's the front runner), Vivian or Willow. For boys we like Gabriel, Xavier or Liam, with Gabriel as the first choice. We have to be careful because some first names paired with our last name sound like either mob wives or hit men.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? We're going to a concert on Sunday-- we've got tickets to see The Flaming Lips! :Y:

[blindyswife]

Fasthands- you can be in on the finger-crossing gang!

asms- I love Willow!

I hosted for the first time this year too. (Canadian) my favorite is the cranberry sauce.

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC?

We have a few for boys and one for a girl. DH just told me he doesn't want to name any of our kids after people. I wanted our daughter to take my moms name as her middle. (Which is not going to be up for debate)

3. Whatcha doing this weekend?

I am going home on Sunday! I have been away for 3 weeks. I'm so excited!

[SallySparrow]

1. What's your must have t-giving dish? These turkey noodles that my grandma makes. We have regular turkey too, but she always makes a crockpot of turkey noodle deliciousness

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? Sullivan for a boy. Amelia for a girl.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? Sleeping. I did not schedule my time well this last week, so I'm exhausted.

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? Pie!

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? No strong favorites right now--but we're both pretty sentimental, so family names are pretty strong front runners (John, Maxwell, Kathleen, Gia)

3. Whatcha doing this weekend?
working. I'm at work right now supervising. Here's a pip.

[jewel]

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? We started hosting Thanksgiving a few years ago. There were too many disagreements with how to split our time between families, so we just started hosting and inviting everyone (20+ people). It's busy, but fun. Anyway...I love stuffing, gravy, yams, fried parsnips, and PIE.

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? I have a ton, but the only names we semi-agree on so far are Miles for a boy, and Claire for a girl.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? Just finished golfing and dinner with friends. Tomorrow we'll go to brunch with my ILs and then I'm hanging out with my poor little bro, who has pneumonia and is locked up at home.

[statlerwaldorf]

1. I'm hosting thanksgiving this year for the first time. What's your must have t-giving dish? Sweet potatoes

2. Do you have any favorite names for the babies you're TTC? We have had our names picked out for a while although we aren't 100% on the girl name.

3. Whatcha doing this weekend? Nothing much. We have a busy week coming up, so I'm just going to relax.
