Intro

queenofhearts1728

Hey all,

I've been spending a lot of time over at the nest because some of their boards suit my questions/interests, but since I'm not married, I sometimes feel like a bit of an outsider/not part of the 'cub'.  I've been dating/living with my BF for almost 5 years, so sometimes it feels like we're married. Almost all of my friends are married also, so I am starting to get the marriage-fever as well.  

All that said, I decided it was high time I got to know some of you ladies

Hi!

What do you like to do for fun? Favorite books or T.V. shows?

KeptInStitches

Welcome!

What's your favorite dessert? Favorite beverage (alcoholic and non)?

Hello! Favorites in the food and drink areas? What awesome, exciting, spectacular job did you LOVE returning to after the long weekend? /sarcasm/

CLoGreenEyes

@keptinstitches and I are obviously very interested in what people fill up on, lol.

KeptInStitches

@amapola14, I live for food, it's what my family does for fun at holidays. We don't play games or anything, we move from course to course.

CLoGreenEyes

@keptinstitches, same for us. It is embarrassing though, because we have gradually moved from WHAT we should eat to WHERE we should eat for special occasions. There was a time when we used to actually cook, but alas, that has fallen by the wayside.

I'm starting to get back into reading. I graduated college about a year and a half ago so I've been anti-books for awhile (I was an English major, so I was forced to read A LOT).  

I recently took up archery as a hobby.

I don't have cable, so I'm always a little behind on new shows. I'm kind of obsessed with Interior Therapy (Jeff cracks me up) and I've been watching a lot of old sitcoms on streaming.

Pie! I love pie and ice cream or frozen yogurt, because who doesn't like those?

Non-alcoholic beverage would definitely be coffee. I am seriously addicted.

Alcoholic, right now, would probably be a lemon drop. So yummy.

I'm a comfort food girl... I'm trying hard to be healthy, but anything with cheese is my weakness. Pizza, nachos, mac and cheese... oh my. Favorite drinks in previous post

I actually do LOVE my job, but I still didn't want to go back after the long weekend lol I'm a technical writer/tester for a credit union. Policies, procedures, software testing, etc... not very exciting to anyone but me!

Thanks!

I'm 25, live in CO. I've been in CO for almost 5 years, moved from WI. 

I have two cats, one of which acts more like a dog (growls, likes belly rubs/rough play, drinks out of the toilet if we leave the seat up)

KeptInStitches

Photos of your cats? I'm a total cat person and have a dog-cat of my own (they're charming creatures).

queenofhearts1728

edit: now it's not letting me upload any I keep getting a low memory error. gah!

If you don't become obnoxious like that lunatic in the Cohabitation thread, you can stay.

eek! haha. I started reading that thread because I wanted to contribute and just couldn't. I made it through half the original post and cut my losses.

Kitty #1: Dallas. He's the dog-cat

queenofhearts1728

Kitty #2 - Friday. She's needy as all hell and wants to cuddle ALL the time. But I love her. I can squeeze her and lay on her and she loves it.

loves2shop4shoes

Your kitties are precious.  My kitty says "Meow".

queenofhearts1728

Here's a hopefully less blurry picture of Friday. The other was horrible blown up

Thank you!

Do you only have one kitty?

KeptInStitches

Such adorable kitties!

loves2shop4shoes

Yes.  I have one kitty.  Her name is Annie.  She's all black.  She's my little black child.

awww i love black cats. Originally, I was only supposed to have my black kitty. He was from a litter of a former-stray cat who decided to live in a small shop in my hometown. When I went to pick him up once he was old enough to leave the mom, no one had adopted the black and white kitty, so I took her too.
