1.       Do you drink bottled/filtered water or just plain ole tap water?

Usually filtered

3.       If you could choose one language (other than English) to speak every day, what would it be?

Probably Italian, since a lot of my family speaks it.

4.       Do twins run in your family? Are you a twin? Would you want twins?

No, no, and hell no.

5.       Are you the oldest, middle, youngest, or only child? If you’re an only child, did you want siblings growing up?

I'm the oldest.  I have one brother who's not even 2 years younger than me, but he plays the baby so well that I feel like there's a decade between us.

6.       What would be your dream job?

Event Planner.  Sometimes I think about just starting an event planning business on the side anyway and doing it for fun.  If I end up doing the stay at home mom thing when the time comes I'll definitely start up a little business to work on from home.

Are there people who don't like candy?!  I love any chocolate/caramel combination.

Vanilla.

9.       If you have a pet, what is the weirdest quirk about them? If you don't have a pet, what's the weirdest quirk about you?

No fur babies yet  My weirdest quirk is that when I'm really busy I make lists/schedules that list everything I need to do that day and what time I need to do it, essentially scheduling my whole day down to the minute.

11.   Have you ever had a Pinterest fail? For example when trying a new recipe or craft?

Nope!  I've never actually tried anything from Pinterest.

12.   Does your family have any unique traditions for holidays?

There is a lush coming to the mall near me, which is about an hour from Philly.  It's 15 from my house I can't wait for it to open.

@keptinstitches -- She and her H are ok. Their house is still there. Their farm was destroyed and 3 of their horses were killed. They're staying with Coco's parents. The school Coco's mom works at was destroyed as well but the staff and students are ok. They have no power or water. It's so sad

KeptInStitches

@rdr716 - How heartbreaking! I am glad they are physically okay, though. Pass along my good wishes if you get a chance.

French.  Ironically, I don't know any.  I just think it sounds pretty.

 Do twins run in your family? Are you a twin? Would you want twins?
No. No, but FI is an identical twin (the non-genetic kind), and fraternal also runs in his family.  I always thought no, but seeing FI and his brother interact is something special.  I'm close to my sister, but their bond is stronger than any other sibling relationship I have ever seen.

 Are you the oldest, middle, youngest, or only child? If you’re an only child, did you want siblings growing up?
Oldest of four.

 What would be your dream job?

Anything chocolate.  I probably love Dove mini's the most.

Favorite scent?
FI just out of the shower.

If you have a pet, what is the weirdest quirk about them? If you don't have a pet, what's the weirdest quirk about you? 

My cat Simon.  He's antisocial and only likes me.  He weighs about 20lbs and is huge.  He could probably eat someone, but he's too afraid to get anywhere near someone else.

 Have you ever had a Pinterest fail? For example when trying a new recipe or craft? 

I have an insane amount of recipes that I've tried.  I made BBQ crockpot pulled pork last night from a pinterest recipe.  So yummy!

Does your family have any unique traditions for holidays? 

We eat a lot of traditional Slovak foods at Christmas and Easter.   I usually don't know how to spell them.  My favorite holiday Slovak food are apricot rolls.  I need to figure out how to make them GF:(

I can't even begin to explain the quirks of our three dogs.

1.   I'm usually fine with tap.  I drink bottled at work, though, because the tap water smells funny.

3.   I know a little Spanish, so let's go with that.

4.  Nope, nope, and no thanks. 

5.  Oldest.

6.  Writer of some sort.  I used to say novelist, but now I think maybe essayist.

7.  Yes.  Reese's.

8.  I love the smells of leather and rubber.  If you could bottle new car scent, I would bathe in it.

9.  My dog refuses to share a water bowl with our cats or any other dogs.  He has to have his own.  He ate horse poop the other day (took him hiking on an equestrian trail), but share water?  No way.

11.  I fail at actually trying anything of the million things I've pinned.

12.  We play disc golf on Christmas Eve almost every year.

1. Do you drink bottled/filtered water or just plain ole tap water?

I don't like water. Any water. I can taste the pipes However, bottled is more tolerable. For the most part I can't stand tap. Yuck. I find distilled water to be the closest thing to enjoyable.

3. If you could choose one language (other than English) to speak every day, what would it be?

Well, in a practical world, I guess Spanish. It's really awkward at work when I don't have a Spanish speaker available. In a funsies world, Japanese. I love that language!

4.  Do twins run in your family? Are you a twin? Would you want twins?

I don't think so, but my mom was adopted so who knows. But as far as anyone in my close-ish family is concerned, no twins. I'm not really into children, so two at once would do me in.

5.  Are the oldest, middle, youngest, or only child? If you’re an only child, did you want siblings growing up?

Middle. I was happy with my older sister (well...after we were school aged :P), but didn't really care for my younger sister.

6.  What would be your dream job?

Basically what I'm doing now. I'm a vet tech, but my ultimate goal is to be an actual DVM one day.

7. Do you like candy? What’s your favorite type?

Chocolate. I will eat all the chocolate. And Pez. Mmm Pez.

8. Favorite scent?

I love the smell of old wooden drawers. I always end up sticking my face in there and taking a few huge whiffs.

9. If you have a pet, what is the weirdest quirk about them? If you don't have a pet, what's the weirdest quirk about you?

I have a crap-ton of pets, all with strange quirks. I think the weirdest one is the cat that forgets where he is and gets lost in his own house, so cries his head off. In his defense, he's a bit brain damaged, but still.

11. Have you ever had a Pinterest fail? For example when trying a new recipe or craft?

I don't really do Pinterest. But I tend to come up with a bunch of ideas that I botch anyway.

12. Does your family have any unique traditions for holidays?

Not really. FI and I started our own tradition a few years ago that we call, "Christmas dinner around the world." Basically each year, we choose a country and make Christmas dinner out of their foods. The most recent was Thai food. This started because our first Christmas alone together in our own apartment we were desperately broke, but we had taco makin's. So, Christmas Tacos :P

@laurenb09  mmm clean laundry for sure

@LivLeighton  i HATE new car smell.  it is also associated with my grandfather for me, but not because he was a crazy driver, just because he leased a new car every 3 years so the smell NEVER WENT AWAY.  it was such a torturous decision as a small child because of course i wanted to ride in the car with grandma and grandpa, but it was so nauseating lol.

MidniteRae

Elle1036 I also love the smell of leather.

Oldest.  I hated being the oldest child.  My mother was a younger child so she spoiled my little brother.  My dad was an oldest child, but he didn't care.

In a perfect world, I'd be smart enough to go to university and med school.  In a perfect world, I'd be a coroner.

The smell after it starts raining.  That smell makes me happy.

9.       If you have a pet, what is the weirdest quirk about them? If you don't have a pet, what's the weirdest quirk about you?

Olive really dislikes female humans.  She can't stand me or any female I bring over.  But the moment it's a male human, she's in love and is the friendliest cat ever.

11.   Have you ever had a Pinterest fail? For example when trying a new recipe or craft?

I've never done anything from Pinterest.

12.   Does your family have any unique traditions for holidays?

That's really funny, because new car scent makes me gag. So does the smell of leather. Whenever I get a new car, I have to air it out for hours at a time so it loses its scent.

However, I'm pretty sure this is because my grandfather always had new cars with leather, and he drove like a freaking maniac and when I was a kid I was always certain I was going to die in his car.

Weirdo.

I also love (like super love) the smell of new tennis balls. They smell a lot like new cars, and that smell pretty much the whole reason I play tennis.
