That's right, I blog! - The Domestic Soldier
What is your favorite TV show? One that is currently still running and one which the series has ended, if any.
Also: What's your favorite song?
And why did you pick October for your wedding?
If you could only eat one fruit for the rest of your life, what would it be?
What has been your fav part of planning thus far? I would have to say that meeting all of you lovelies has been one of my favorite things. And planning the honeymoon of course.
If you could change one thing about your FI what would you change and why? I am racking my brain here and can't think of anything.
What is your favorite TV show? There are a bunch...Psych, 90210, Hell's Kitchen, Big Brother, Franklin & Bash. Some that have ended are Law & Order, Beverly Hills 90210, Being Erika (might still be on but I can't find it), and Crossing Jordan.
And why did you pick October for your wedding? We picked October because it fit well with my work schedule. I have very limited windows when I can take long periods of time off. Even though FI and I work in the same department, our yearly deadlines are very different. We also had decided that we could not get married in May or September since those were the wedding months of our first marriages. I think that we were sitting there are I said the date 10/11/12 and we checked the calendar and it worked out well. Plus we have a holiday in the mix so we wouldn't have to take as much time off of work.
What are your wedding colors? Blue & white. My flowers have pink and green in them too.
If you could only eat one fruit for the rest of your life, what would it be? I think that I would have to go with apples. I really only like granny smith and galas but there are so many varieties that I would be able to change it up a little.
If you could beat anyone with an ice scraper and get away with it, who would it be and why? As of right now, this would be the lady that almost hit FI and I in the crosswalk while making an illegal left hand turn onto a one way street in front of a cop with everyone was beeping, waving, and yelling at her then proceeded to argue with the cop with her 2 kids in the back of the car.
What is you and your FIs favorite thing to do? We love playing games. Any games. They could be video games, board games or the occasional sports game. We also love to go wine tasting, explore the local area and travel.
Favorite place to eat? This is hard. We love to go so many places. Cheesecake Factory and Chipoltes are the chain restaurants we love and there are several local places. Oh and on a gorgeous weekend we like to go to Harney & Sons for lunch. It is an international tea company that has its headquarters about 45 minutes from us. Clicky.
What about you FI made you fall in love with him?! Well first he's HOT! He is also very loving, caring, and he is a great communicator. I did not have this in my previous relationship and I actually did not know how to communicate with him at first. It was really hard. He is so patient, kind and generous. I can get lost in his eyes. When we first started talking, I felt like I was talking to a long lost friend and we were just catching up on what was going on in our lives. I could go on and on and on, but I won't bore ya'll anymore.
What do you do for a living? My title is Real Property Information Systems Technician. My main job is database/system administration for an assessment program created by the state. Not only do I have to maintain everything for 22 towns, but I have to train people to use it. I also have to help the town assessor's offices and public with questions relating to Real Property Tax law so I need to read, interpret and keep up on all of the laws.
Do you have any pets? I don't have any pets. We live in an apartment so we don't want a dog and we don't want a cat because of the litter box. Plus we like the freedom of coming and going when we please and not having to worry about getting home to feed the animals. I can't say that I don't miss having a pet but after we come home from my parents or FMILs (both have 3 cats) covered in hair, I realize I still don't want a pet right now.
How many years of friendship do you have with your closest friend? Well FI is my closest friend and I would say that we have been friends for about 2.5 years. I lost most of my "friends" in the divorce but I guess they weren't really friends then right?
What is your dream job?
Can you sing?
What's the best meal you ever cooked?
Do you like to bake?
What is your dream job? I would love to be an event planner. I love being creative and I think that would be fun.
Can you sing? Nope, but when I am drinking I think I can.
What's the best meal you ever cooked? I make a really good chicken marsala. FI has never had it though because he doesn't like "gravy" with his chicken. He is silly.
Do you like to bake? Yes. My favorite thing to make is cake balls.
What is your favorite season? I love spring. I love when the birds start chirping and the flowers come out and the grass turns green. I just makes me really happy.
Would you rather have a really frustrating and challenging job that paid TONS of $$ or a super easy, relaxed and non-challenging job that paid not that great?
Do you drink wine? If so what is your favorite?
What is your favorite video game? Do you and FI play games where you compete with each other or where you team up against the computer/other players?
Don't you love us? Yes
Why don't you want to stay connected with all of us? Never said I didn't
Do you want to smack me right now? Not really. I am used to you by now
Would you rather have a really frustrating and challenging job that paid TONS of $$ or a super easy, relaxed and non-challenging job that paid not that great? The challenging job. I can get bored easy.
Do you drink wine? If so what is your favorite? Love wine. My favorite has to be either Muscato or ice wine.
What is your favorite video game? Do you and FI play games where you compete with each other or where you team up against the computer/other players? My all time favorite game is Kirby's Epic Yarn. It was the first game I beat all by myself, then I played it again with FI. FI and I play both types of games. For video games we usually play games like Mario, Kirby, or Lego games. For board games, they are usually individual.
I love 90210 both old and the updated. I didn't know it still came on does it? My daughter and I watch Franklin and Bash Everyweek so sad season finale is coming next week. Which Law and Order do you watch? Do you also watch Master Chef after Hell's kitchen? I love the both.
What's Ice Wine?
If you could meet someone famous and sit and have dinner and ask any thing who would it be and what would you ask?
Do you wear contacts? Yes. I can't see for nothing.
Does hubby close the door when he uses the bathroom? #1 sometime. #2 always. If there is company over he always closes it.
I love 90210 both old and the updated. I didn't know it still came on does it? My daughter and I watch Franklin and Bash Everyweek so sad season finale is coming next week. Which Law and Order do you watch? Do you also watch Master Chef after Hell's kitchen? I love the both. I watched 90210 (new) on Netflix and the old one replays on SoapNet. I watch all of the L&O's but my favorite is the original. I LOVED Jerry Orbach, (Det Briscoe). I almost died when I found out that the Production Designer for some of the episodes moved in down the street from my parents!! I don't watch Master Chef.
What's Ice Wine? It is wine that is made from grapes that are frozen on the vine and then harvested. It makes the wine sweet and expensive.
If you could meet someone famous and sit and have dinner and ask any thing who would it be and what would you ask? This is hard. No one really jumps out at me. I could say Gordon Ramsey and ask if he is really as mean as his shows. I could say Obama and ask what he is doing for this country. I could say Kimmy and will you please stop asking about FB.
