    THANK YOU!
    I needed a post that didn't make my brain hurt.  *grumble*

    1. What are you doing this weekend?

    Going to the Big Ex with FIL's and FI on Saturday.  Aka rides, truck pulls, horses, pigs, cows and fun!! It's a big fair;)

      Then off to visit my Grandpa on Sunday.  He's a retired Baptist minister and we're going to ask him if he'd do us the honor of marrying us next year. *mini squeeee*  Also I'm going to see my Grandma...I'm not really looking forward to that tho.  She's very sick and has Alzheimer's so it's not always a happy occasion to see her.

    Monday is Natal Day...LONG WEEKEND wo0t!!

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?

    Strawberries.  Actually they're my favorite food, EVAH!

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?

    Raspberry from the Body Shop

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?

    Whatever is on sale for my body.  The neutrogena dry stuff for my face.  It doesn't make your skin oily;)

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?

    Probably English.  We had a kick arse English teacher.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?

    Nice house, nice job, lots of space, a few spawn.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?

    I dunno but if it keeps but I might just GBCK.  It's effin' ridiculous! I don't even want to read half the posts because they're such BS!

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?

    By leaving work early! I hope...

    9. Other!

    Ummmm, Kat? 2 weeks and 1 day to go =-P

    1. What are you doing this weekend?

    BF and I are hosting a dinner party tonight.  Other than that, no big plans.

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food? 

    Probably raspberries.

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm? 

    Burt's Bees

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen? 

    I actually never use sunscreen.  I never burn.  Embarassed

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school? 

    Math.  I always loved math.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like? 

    I hope I have a good job that I enjoy going to every day.  I hope I will have children and be happily married.  I hope to own a nice home...no picket fence necessary.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately? 

    I don't know.  It feels like it's either full of insane special snowflakes or dead.  Sigh.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today? 

    Doing my normal friday ritual:  going to a core fusion class with a girlfriend of mine, picking up my CSA share from the farmer's market, going to therapy, and hosting a dinner party.

    9. Other!

    I'm beginning to freak out a bit because I just got the Paragard IUD in May.  My period has been decently regular (a 32ish day cycle), but I've been waiting since last weekend to get my period and nothing.  I'd better not be pregnant.  I'm so paranoid right now.

    1. What are you doing this weekend?

    It's a long weekend here! So, going camping with a group of friends at one of the provincial parks. I'm pretty excited, this park is new to all of us that are going.

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?

    Sweet corn

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?

    Anything by Burt's Bees

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?

    Hmmm, I'm not really picky on this one. For my face I really like Aveeno sunscreen. The rest I'm not  picky about, although I do hate the spray stuff that feels like I douse myself in hairspray...ugh

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?

    Geography

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?

    Hopefully married with a couple of kids, rewarding job, nice house and able to take some nice vacations.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?

    I have no idea, but I'm discouraged from reading most posts these days.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?

    Hopefully by packing up our stuff to get on the road at a good time and setting up our tent! Ooo and a campfire!

    9. Other!

    I can't believe all the wedding dates that are getting close!

    1. What are you doing this weekend?
    Going to a cookout at FI's advisors' house, Taco Potluck & True Blood on Sunday night. Somewhere in there, I need to clean our house and do some work in the lab.

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?
    Melon (watermelon, cantalope, honeydew), strawberries, dill.

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    Blistex DCT

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?
    Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch. It's great for everyday (smells good and does not feel like you have anything on - I hate greasy sunscreens).

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?
    Biology and Choir.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    I hope that FI and I are financially stable and have good jobs. I hope that we have a happy healthy marriage that is still growing, even after 20 yrs. I hope we're raising our children to become intelligent, generous, kind, honest adults with integrity. I hope I'm not still paying off my student loans.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    I'm just plain sick and tired of whiny, bratty kids and psycho-posters. This is not a puppies-and-rainbows board. If you can't come on here without a) bitching about the responses you get because they're not what you want to hear, b) AWing until you're blue in the face, c) being completely two-faced, then don't come on here. If it gets made clear that no one wants you here, go away. Seriously.

    I'm seriously contemplating dropping the board all together, which would be a shame. I've been posting here for over a year...this place used to be awesome, and I've made some amazing IRL friends here, but all I seem to do here anymore is give people massive side eyes.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    Meeting ricky for lunch at our favorite Mexi joint after her comp exams, and then I'm going home and cleaning the house. Fun times.

    9. Other!
    Part of me really wants to get another dog, but a bigger part of me is afraid that bringing a new dog into the picture might change our current dog's personality. I don't want her to change one bit - if you ask me, she's the most awesomely imperfect perfect dog in the world.

  • edited December 2011
    1. What are you doing this weekend?
    No concrete plans.  BF and I are both broke from vacation (and he has a ticket coming up that he has to pay) so we will probably just sit around. Oh, and we are going to a cookout to celebrate his (ex)stepmom getting married.

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?
    I love strawberries and watermelon.

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    I rarely use chapstick, but I guess the pomegranate burt's bees, since that's the only name brand I remember using for an extended period of time.

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?
    I usually go with the classic NO-AD if I even use any.  I rarely use any.  I don't burn much anymore.  But the first day we went to the beach, we used 45 and kept applying and reapplying and we all got roasted.  I don't think there was anything we could do. The UV rays must have just been terrible.

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?
    Either history or english.  I hated middle school.  I was really good at history and in seventh grade english, we worked on putting on a play of The Diary of Anne Frank for the entire year and I was Anne, so that was awesome.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    Done procreating, hopefully getting back into working full time. A comfortable place.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    Idk, but it's seriously aggravating me.  I just want normal posts that won't make me want to pull my hair out.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    Maybe some yoga? I haven't done that in a while.  I really need to get some paperwork done for school and unpack from vacation, but BF also has today off, so we might do something together instead.

    9. Other!
    Okay, I'll vent.
    I went over to hang out with BF last night because my parents were going out to hang out with their friends down the street and I didn't feel like chilling by myself.  Around like 10:30, I'm getting really tired and I want to go home. I lost my keys somewhere at the beach (my parents knew this) so I called my dad to find out when they were coming home.  My mom answered the phone and she was drunk and told me ten, and then changed it to 11 when I said 10 already passed.  So I head home since BF and I live a good bit from each other.  It's 11 by the time I get there, and no one's home.  I text my dad again to ask when they're getting home because I can't break in and it's dark and I'm by myself.  My mom answers the text and she's a real butt about it, really rude.  We argue a little bit back and forth and then I get the text "okay were on our way now amy" which I knew was from my dad. They get home and my mom is completely wasted and my dad had no idea I was even home, let alone by myself on the porch. I was peeved at my mom and my dad felt so bad that he offered to give me money to make me feel better. I'm still mad at my mom and I hope she had a hangover this morning before she had to go to work.

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?

    Yumm! Corn on the Cob! Blueberries! Strawberries!

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?

    Blistex or Burt's Bees

    Crazies, go away!

    I think I'm going to get together with a friend and go get Water Ice or something tasty.

    1) Work and applying for jobs.  I know, fun life.

    2) Strawberries.  Hands down favorite.

    3) Don't really have one. 

    4) No-Ad.  Much less expensive, but does the trick.

    5) Science. 

    6) FI will be in a faculty position he enjoys, and I'll have a good job that I love.  We'll have a couple of kids in middle-school.  Basically, I just want to have enough money to be able to have a decent house, take some nice vacations, put the kids through school, and still save for retirement.  Oh, and we'll have a couple dogs, too.

    7) There's been too much drama punctuated by lots of dullness.  Even when there are non-drama filled threads, they haven't been getting too many regs posting.

    8) Ummm.  Like any other day.  My life is not that exciting at the moment.

    9) FI and I think we finally have a dinner venue.  Drinks, dinner, appetizers, tax and tip for under $100pp in NYC, and the food's fantastic.  They usually only rent out the entire restaurant for weddings, but since we can't afford that ($5k for 20 people? No thanks!), they have been super helpful in working with us.

    1. What are you doing this weekend?
    Nothing thrilling. BF and I are going to the gym on Saturday - a trip that is long overdue. Sunday is up in the air. Probably nothing.

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?
    Strawberries, kiwis and mangoes!

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    Blistex, especially the kind with the little silver ball on the end. It feels so good on my lips.

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?
    Banana Boat ... it smells the nicest

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?
    We had a class called Reading. we would read books, and then discuss them and do activities related to the books. I think I was the only one who took that class seriously, but I got a lot of great books out of that class.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    Ideally, I'd like to be working for a big radio station, maybe with my own talk show, and married to BF of course. Living in a nice apartment with a few dogs and able to go on really kickass vacations.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    Me, complaining all over about my joblessness and woe-is-me. Sorry about that, guys. It's going to change soon, I know. I'm feeling less hopeless and more optimistic.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    Well, not only am I celebrating Friday, I'm celebrating my first work day! So, I'm going to BF's house, where he will make me waffles for dinner. Then our friends are coming over for our weekly RPG.

    9. Other!
    Last night I saw a commercial for the new season of Glee and I was so excited I tripped over my suitcase while doing a happy dance in my room.

    I'm a loser and can't answer all of these, so here goes:

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    God willing, almost exactly like it is now, just with bf (then dh) having a job he enjoys and finds satisfying and with me traveling a little less. And maybe in another part of the country. But I'm flexible.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    The craz-oids have taken over.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    I'm home. Where I live, if you can believe that. I will sleep in my own bed tonight with bf, instead of in a hotel bed alone. That is celebration enough.

    RELAXING!

    Salt Potatoes...mmmmmm

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    I'm not picky. I love Burts Bees but regular old Chapstick is awesome too.

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?
    Aveeno 50 block is awesome because I don't burn but manage to get a tiny bit of color.

    Health, our teacher was HILARIOUS!

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    Too many newbies who think they're cool. There. I said it. I hate when people start posting here then start lots of new threads and stuff. Lurk then post on other threads for a while. That and too many people who come here for "advice" then get pissed when we don't say what they want to hear. It really pisses me off.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    I'm getting my nails done and a pedicure to celebrate the end of summer school.

    Summer school is over!!! Next week my dad is painting our house (my birthday present) and my job is to do the shutters and trim. The next week I'll be going to DC to visit my cousin and my friend. Week after that I'm coming back to school to set up my new room. I'll be busy but a good kind of busy!

    Happily married with a couple kids, FI and I will be working at jobs that we both love and feel like we are making a difference not just earning a check.  We will be running them to sports and activites but still taking time for us as well.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?

    Sunscreen... whats that? I am guilty of rarely wearing any. Except in Mexico.

    I wish people wouldn't wait until the last minute to RSVP. Our RSVP's are due on the 9th, so people have a little over a week to respond. When I remind/ ask some why they haven't mailed them back yet. I get "Well I have until the 9th." Ok, but why do you need to wait until then. You tell me you are coming, you are married, so you aren't looking for a date, so why not send it back?? 88 more people to hear from.

    Relaxing, chilling. I have some books I want to finish/start reading, and I need to do some major personal grooming. TMI?

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?
    Fresh fruit - specifically white peaches.

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    Blistex Herbal Answer. It's really hard to find though.

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?

    I hate the texture/smell of sunscreen, so if I MUST wear it, I usually go for Neutrogena.

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?
    English because I always excelled in it. And social studies, because I had the biggest crush on the teacher.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    I hope to have a happy marriage with BF (who would be DH by then!), a nice house, a successful career for us both and a couple of happy, well-adjusted children. Also, a few cats and dogs.

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    Because the beebees think they are growner than they iz, and don't need a bunch of bitter hags and uppity bitches to tell them to wait a few years. Duh.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    The same way I always celebrate it...try to take over the world!

    9. Other!
    My anniversary with BF is in a few weeks, and I was really looking forward to going out since I've been basically stuck inside the whole summer. Unfortunately, we're both broke at the moment. So BF's sister (whose anniversary with her DH is two days before ours) offered to cook us Mexican food, since that's what we were going to get. So she's going to make us tacos and Mexican rubbed pork chops and I'm going to make the ever famous margarita cupcakes! :)

    1. What are you doing this weekend?
    Lots of house remodeling, buying a new couch, having lunch with a girlfriend from down South, prepping current house for my bro's visit

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?
    Corn, fresh from the roadside stand

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    Softlips

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?
    Haha.  I iz bad and rarely wear it.  I have some in my pool bag.  I special fancy smancy face sunscreen but I don't feel like getting the bottle.

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?
    None. I hated middle school.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    In 20 years, Mr. Man will be in college.  Hopefully, we have 3 more kids and living in our dream neighborhood.  We plan on having several real estate investments, so that  DH can retire from his 9-5 job. 

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    It doesn't have to do with the beebees, they have always been in and out.  It is the newbs who are just crazy, annoying, needing, grating, etc.  There are too many posters that I dislike.  Enh.  Things change.  I don't like the changes around here lately.  Good thing my life will actually get too busy soon to even bother.

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    Booze it up.  Obviously. 

    9. Other!
    Our nephew was born this week.  And he is just too precious.  It has made us even more excited about Mr. Man's pending arrival.

    1. What are you doing this weekend?
    Final hair and makeup trials, and going to Savannah to finalize everything with the caterer.  Woo hoo!

    2. What's your favorite summer seasonal food?
    Boiled peanuts. 

    3. What's your favorite chapstick/lip balm?
    Usually don't wear any, but if I have to I use basic Chapstick.  I hate the feeling of anything on my lips.  I can't even wear lipstick without getting irritated.

    4. What's your favorite sunscreen?
    Neutrogena for my face.  Whatever's cheapest for my body, usually in at least 30SPF.  No-Ad is generally the cheapest.

    5. What was your favorite class in middle school?
    English and Chorus.

    6. In 20 years what do you hope your life is like?
    I hope that FI and I are financially stable and have good jobs. I hope that we have a happy healthy marriage that is still growing, even after 20 yrs. I hope we're raising our children to become intelligent, generous, kind, honest adults with integrity. I hope I'm not still paying off my student loans.  (I second all this, except the student loans part...I lucked out in that department).

    7. Why has NEY been such a bummer lately?
    I'm honestly not sure.  It's irritating, but I've been here 2.5 years and the board has actually gotten NICER (believe it or not, newbs).  I mostly get irritated with people that ask the same question that someone else did the day before.  LURK FOR A MINUTE.  Go back a couple of pages and see if your question has been asked already.  And try to see your question more objectively.  Yes, sometimes there are special circumstances, but they're rare.  Usually if your question is just a *slight* variation of someone else's, you're going to get the SAME ADVICE.  Please stop making us repeat ourselves just because you think you're special. 

    8. How will you celebrate Friday today?
    Meeting FI for lunch, having a quiet night in with the pups while FI has a boys' night.

    9. Other!
    In 2 weeks I will be getting ready to rehearse, which is mind-boggling to me.  Also, Kat, I LOVED TOY STORY 3!

    And whales.  I love whales.  :-)

    I've been wondering how you're doing!!

    Wasn't Toy Story cute! And Ken hilarious.

    I LOVE WHALES!


    How is it going Acro? I did menus, ribbons on bells, table names and my bride shirt yesterday. Got my Rehearsal dress and other things.

    Main things left - programs, escort cards, coffee bar toppings, parent gifts, and really assembling the master schedule, getting everyone on the same page...

    OH YEA  and writing our vows and getting FI's ring. Small potatoes. Oh dear oh my.<img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-yell.gif" border="0" alt="Yell" title="Yell" />
