2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise?

betrothed123

I promised I'd try:

1. When was the last time you laughed until your cried and why?
I honestly do not remember, although I'm 90% sure it was due to an O&A show.  Patrice O'Neal was most likely on.

2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise?
I helped.  In fact, I picked it.  H brought me to the store and told me to get anything I wanted.  We had it down to 2 and I couldn't pick between them.  He didn't want to decide (and they were both on sale for a total that came to less than one would have full-priced) so he bought both.  I mean.... I'm a spoiled rotten biitch who demanded the biggest stone in the building and refused to settle for less

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)?
Laying on the couch, totally relaxing, catching up on TV and maybe some sleep.

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at.
Litter box all the way.  I'm asthmatic so H usually does it.  When I have to do it the cat is not happy.

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger?
Never expect others to live up to the same standards you hold yourself to.  If you do you'll always be disappointed.

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did.
Solve world hunger?  I don't know.  There's a lot of things.

ETA: LTZ- it's no fun if you don't answer your own questions!

B- I want to see pictures of your ring now! hell, I just want pictures at all... you need to prove your existence afterall.

1. When was the last time you laughed until your cried and why?
A few days ago when a shirtless man entered into a chat room unexpectandly..

2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise?
Oh no. You bet I picked it. DH's taste level has not quite matured to an exceptable level for jewelry picking.

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)?
Sleep in, grab lunch with friends, get a pedicure and go shopping, meet DH for dinner and drinks and then lounging on the couch all night.

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at.
Laundry. MAKE IT STOP!!

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger?
That friends come and go throughout your life so cherish the ones you have while they're aruond.

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did.
Supporting DH during school. It's unbelieveable how hard it is some days, but I pride myself on being his stability and his support and encouraging him when he needs it.

 -Not really a responsibility but, being home alone.  i get lonely then stir-crazy, then  have to come up with ideas to keep myself focused

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger?
 -There will always be mean people in the world.  Never show enough weakness for them to use against you, and never lower yourself to their methods.

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did.
 - served

Anysunrise

. When was the last time you laughed until your cried and why?

I'm not sure. Probably something FI said last week.

2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise?

I kind of helped. I told him what I wanted (round cut, solitaire, white gold, didn't stick up too much) and he found exactly that.

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)?

Absolutely nothing. Just staying at home with FI, reading and watching movies.

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at.

Budgeting. I'm terrible at saving money unless I'm not spending anything at all.

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger?

I'm not sure if I'm old enough to answer this yet :P

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did.

Well, I'd like to think that in 40 years I'll still be with FI, so I'm going to say marrying him

I'm really a 60 year old man sitting in my mom's basement in my dirt, saggy underwear ;)

For real, though, <a href="http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m339/betrothed123/DSCN1712.jpg">here are my e-rings, on my real life fingers (see?  I do exist!)</a>

Since it's a bit blurry, each X on the top ring has a small diamond in the center and is yellow and white gold.  The bottom ring is a bunch of small diamonds sitting next to each other on a rose gold band.

LessThanZero

B- you promised and you delivered!  : )

I usually always wait for people to answer because I feel weird asking the questions and then immediately answering them for some reason. So here goes:

1. When was the last time you laughed until your cried and why? This past Sunday. One of my younger sisters came over for dinner and she made a really funny joke about our parents' divorce based upon a picture she saw. I know that sounds bad, but it's one of those things you'd "get" if you were a part of the situation.

2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise? We went to look and I picked out the setting. FI went off and did the rest, like picking the type of metal and the diamond.

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)? I'd like to simultaneously do a whole lot of nothing yet somehow be productive at the same time. I'm a walking contradiction.

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at. I second the calling people thing. I hate talking on the phone. Send me an email or a text. I just don't like talking to people unless it's in person for some reason. It's funny, because between the ages of 12 - 16, you could't get me off of the phone. I think I wore myself out.

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger? To remember that you can't control anyone's actions but your own. People don't "make" you happy. You have to do that for yourself.

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did. If I can avoid most of the mistakes my parents and other family members made, I'll be very happy. So far, I'm ahead of the game.

I'm posting from my phone so I can't quote. 

-A couple weekends ago. J's friend was shiit faced and decided to chase armadillos.

-I picked my ring out. It wasn't THE ring, because I live in the real world and had a budget, but I still picked it out

-Laying on the couch watching SVU all day while having a clean house and having all laundry done.

-Folding and putting up laundry. I will wash and dry it with no problem but then it comes out of the dryer and makes it to the recliner and chills for days.

-Be yourself and be true

-Enjoyed my youth.

1. When was the last time you laughed until your cried and why? I can't remember that exact reason, but my FI is hilarious! We play off of each other well and it always escalates until I'm gasping for air because I'm laughing so hard.

2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise? It was a surprise. It's actually his late grandfather's wedding ring. He had tiny fingers!

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)? FI and I would hangout together in bed all day just reading and watching movies. That sounds fantastic!

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at. Paying bills. I mean, I do it, but I always forget until FI reminds me.

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger? To be yourself. I tried to fit myself into certain molds when I was younger to fit in with the "cool" crowd. I realized when I met FI that I didn't need that negativity in my life.

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did. Going with my gut... always.

1. When was the last time you laughed until your cried and why? I do this all the time. I actually did this today at "How I met Your Mother" when Barney and Robin were touching museum artifacts. Fi looked at me weird for laughing so hard which made me just laugh harder.

2. Did you help to pick out your E-ring or was it a complete surprise? 100% surprise. I had no idea it was coming.

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)? Pretty fall hike in the morning then laying on my couch watching TV/Napping for a solid 5 hours. Then happy hour, dinner and a fun bar! 

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at. Dusting. I NEVER dust. My house looks really clean but just don't look too close...

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger? Such a good question... It's not really a piece of wisdom but I wish I had had more perspective when I was younger. Not that teenagers or kids should have a lot of perspective but there's definitely times I think back on and I wish I could say "Hey idiot - it's not a big deal!"

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did. Regardless of how my career turns out and whether I continue at my organization or not I know that I'll look back and be really glad I worked there for a while and fought cancer everyday. I also want to look back in 40 years and be glad that I was such an awesome Mom.

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)?  My idea of the perfect day off is to sleep in as long as I want.  Then either hang out with H by watching TV or playing on our computers.  We would eat when we were hungry and really just relax.

3. What is your ideal day off (as in what you'd like to be doing)? Renovating my kitchen.  No, seriously.  If I could smash something in my kitchen and make it come back all pretty and just the way I want it, it'd make for a pretty freaking sweet day.

4. Name one "grown-up" responsibility that you aren't good at. Keeping receipts for our budget spreadsheet.  I suck at it.  I'm not bad with money, just the receipts.

5. What's one lesson or piece of wisdom that you live by now, that you wish you knew when you were younger? Get over it.  In every situation.  Something isn't going my way?  Get over it.  Someone's talking sh!t about me?  Get over it. 

6. Name one thing you want to look back on in 40 years and be glad that you did. Marrying my H (awwwww ha ha).
