A few questions :)

EmDizzle · February 2011

With the board hopping lately, thought I'd try to get some NWR posts going - going to try and post some quick mini surveys every few days... we'll see if I can keep up with it (or anyone's welcome to post their own questions

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

2. Where do you shop for groceries?

3. Where do you get your hair cut?

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

EmDizzle · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH?
Yep- We were nuts and moved in together after only 8 months of dating, luckily it worked out

We closed on our first home last March and married in October.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? The new Giant Eagle Market Place now! that place is awesome!

3. Where do you get your hair cut? I had gone to Phia in Short North, but Adam at Lucky 13 really knows how to do an amazing pixi, I'll never leave!

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I'm a sucker for anything Alton Brown. never fails.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I've attempted blog writting, but it fizzles out. I'm going to try and start up (and keep up!) a food blog soon. I'm a big fan of re-nest.com.

ehighley · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals FI and I live together. We've been dating for 10 years and have lived together for almost six years.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Usually Giant Eagle, just because that's the closest thing to our house and we like the Fuel Perks However, if we have time we like to make a trip to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.

3. Where do you get your hair cut? I went to Lennonheads in Worthington for a couple years, but its kind of far from my house (Grandview), so I started going to Akada. Right down the street and I love it!

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? To be honest, I'm not much of a cook! Any recipes I try are those that friends or family pass along.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning Hmm, nothing really other than friends' blogs on Wordpress and such. But I'll admit that I'm a Facebook and People.com addict

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

Fiance just "moved in" officially in January, but he's been basically living with me since ummm.... September probably lol.

2. Where do you shop for groceries?

We usually go to Walmart (ugh). I really don't like Walmart, but it's close, cheap and you can get ANYTHING there in one stop... lol

3. Where do you get your hair cut?

I have a couple friends that work in salons so I usually go to them

I'm a pretty low maintenance kind of hair girl so it's really usually just a trim and I get color once or twice a year.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?

HAHA! You don't want me to start trying recipes

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

my favorite blog to read is cake betch!! http://thehotmesschronicles.blogspot.com/2011/02/shit-i-wish-my-grandma-said.html

she's pretty much hilarious =P plus, i went to high school with her

she's also a cake GENIUS and will do all my event cakes (bridal showers, etc) except my wedding cake... only because she stresses out too much and refuses to do a cake that has so much pressure on it haha.

I don't really do a blog, save for facebook =p

KMAT29 · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH?
Yes, we've been together for 4 1/2 years, lived together 3 1/2 and bought our first house 2 years ago

2. Where do you shop for groceries? I'm a avid Kroger shopper, FI grew up working at Big Bear/Giant Eagle, so this is definitely something we don't agree on. He is a good sport and always goes to Kroger with me when we go together

3. Where do you get your hair cut? Bliss on 5th Ave.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? Love, love, love to cook. My go-to websites are ususally: Food Network, Taste of Home, Recipezaar (I think it's now Food.com), and Allrecipes.com

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I pretty much stick to Facebook

kiyamurph · February 2011

Good idea Em! This board has gotten a lot more traffic lately and I love it!

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH?
FI and I had a 7 year (yes, 7 years!) long distance relationship and he was living here in Washington state for a year before I moved out here after we got engaged. We've now been living together for about 8 months. We're coming back to Columbus to get married since it's my hometown.

2. Where do you shop for groceries?
I'm so ashamed to admit that we shop at Walmart, but it's close and much cheaper than other places out here.

3. Where do you get your hair cut?
When I lived in Columbus (and when I come back to visit) I used to go to 1400 Downtown. It's now called Square One.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?
allrecipes.com.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning
I like to go to jennsylvania.com. The writer, Jenn Lancaster, is HILARIOUS! She's written a few memoirs. Her first one is called Bitter Is the New Black and I swear it's the funniest book I've ever read in my life. It's literally laugh out loud funny! I usually don't read memoirs, but hers was too good to pass up. I highly recommend her!

katy0293 · February 2011

no shame in shopping at walmart ;p haha - dealing with the lines and first of the month crowd is SOOOO much fun though! ha!

AutumnEnchantment · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals Yep, the FI and I have a seven year old so we've been living together for some time now.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Giant Eagle. The FI works there (not his dream job by ANY means but fulltime is fulltime!) so I can get my groceries and take in a quick visit or meet up for lunch all in the same trip!

3. Where do you get your hair cut? HG Signature Salon

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? Allrecipes.com I've found some decent ones there, and I like how they have lots of reviewers.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning I check out updates from http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ for some much needed humor when having a bad day.

gcbuckeye2 · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

Yep! we have lived together for almost 2 years now

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Usually Kroger, Giant Eagle, or Walmart

3. Where do you get your hair cut? Kenneths on Mill Run

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? Usually use Food Network, but I don't search for any particular person. FI likes to search the Emeril recipes on Food Network though!

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I like to look at wedding related ones, but I don't really have time to look at anything else, and I definitely don't have to the time to keep one of my own up to date!

osumegs · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

Kinda sorta. My fiance has a basement apartment at his mother's house. I moved in upstairs with her in June to save money towards a house. We are moving into an apartment a week before the wedding.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Kroger or Giant Eagle

3. Where do you get your hair cut? Jacob Neal Salon

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? Cooking Light magazine, Food Network, allrecipes.com

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

Not really. I read "Not Always Right" and "Failbook" when bored. That's about all

[Deleted User] · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

Yup

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Wal-Mart & Krogers. I miss Meijer a lot. We don't have them here in GA.

3. Where do you get your hair cut? Ha. Usually Great Clips b/c I haven't really taken the time to find someone I like down here to do my hair. I guess I am just too lazy. And besides, I usually only ever get a trim, so you really can't screw that up.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I love allrecipes.com and a lot of the cooking blogs I have bookmarked. I often try new recipes from them.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I have been debating about starting a blog for quite some time now, but still haven't thought of a catchy name for it. It would probably be a education/teaching related one if and when I do start it.

marisanh · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals
I'm in the minority on this one... we're not moving in together until the wedding.
2. Where do you shop for groceries?
I pretty much always go to Kroger because it's close to my house.
3. Where do you get your hair cut?
Todd at Max the Salon in the Short North is just wonderful!
4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?
I like allrecipes.com as well.
5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

http://www.bakerella.com/ Pretty similar things on here, but they look oh so good. I haven't had much time to actually invest in making any of it, but dang, those cheesecake pops look pretty incredible.

I also like How About Orange. Fun design stuff.

KellyRVT · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? Yes

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Whole Foods

3. Where do you get your hair cut? Salon Lofts at 23 and 270

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I just google whatever lol

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

Hyperbole and a Half! It's a MUST read.

nnoble4 · February 2011

AWESOME Idea!!!

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? Yep. We've been dating for 3.5 years, and officially living together for about a year and a half.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Giant Eagle in Groveport

3. Where do you get your hair cut? Still trying to find a place to go regularly.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I use sparkrecipes.com a lot. Or, I'll just google what I want to make and something will come up.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I don't write a blog. And I really only look at the weddingbee.com blog on a regular basis.

sep72fendr · February 2011

Yay Em! Love these!

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

I currently do live with Fi. We've been together since September '07, but we were at school then. I moved down to Cbus after I graduated in December '09 and moved in with him!

2. Where do you shop for groceries? I usually shop at Aldi's on Hamilton (super cheap!) for my basics like canned foods, juices, snacks, frozen pizzas, toilet paper etc. But I will go to Meijer or Giant Eagle for my quality goods like meats, veggies, and seafood.

3. Where do you get your hair cut? I usually go to Katherine at Kenneth's New Albany, but I just started seeing Jason Caldwell at Salon Lofts at 270/23

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I don't usually have time to do a lot of cooking. I'm more of a baker and I make my own recipes as I go. They usually turn out okay, but I will tweak them until they are perfect, then I will write them down so I don't forget. As far as food recipes, I'll make stuff up too. I hate following recipes, unless they are my mom's or my aunt's.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning)? I really like to visit http://www.deargirlsaboveme.com/ (a guy can hear 2 annoying girls that live above him and he writes mini letters to them), Entropificus (a semi-fashion blog about The Babysitter's Club characters and what they used to wear and how it would translate in to today's fashion), Toothpastefordinner.com as well as *shame* PerezHilton.com.

Kelly- who do you see at Salon Lofts?

csh96 · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? Not yet. We both own a place so I am frantically trying to sell my condo so I can move into his house.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Giant Eagle. Love the fuel perks!

3. Where do you get your hair cut? I moved to Columbus (Gahanna/New Albant area) about 3 years ago and still have yet to find a place to go on a regular basis. Any suggestions?

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I use AllRecipes.com a lot to get ideas. When I cook I normally find a few recipes for the same thing and take the best of all to make my own.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning I don't write one and right now my free time is consumed with reading wedding blogs.

TerraandSteve · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals FI and I have a house together. We have been together for 3 1/2 years and have lived together for 2 years.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Mostly Kroger just because it is close to my home and work and I get fuel points

3. Where do you get your hair cut? One of my dearest friends (and a bridesmaid) is a professional stylist. She works for Saturdays, her name is Shonia Crawford and she is AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend checking her out.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I am Food Network OBSESSED. So I like to create my own recepies. I usually go to cooks.com to get the basics of a dish and then add my own touches. But that website has every recipe that has ever existed LOL.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning Not really. I use facebook and every news site from here to the Ohio Valley especially CNN. But that's about all I have time for.

smariex18 · February 2011

Though my wedding is in Columbus, I live in Lexington, KY... So my answers might be a little off to you guys =p But I'm going to answer them anyway!

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH?
Yep. We've lived together for almost our entire relationship (which is weird, I know) ... Just kind of how our situation worked out, haha.

2. Where do you shop for groceries?
Meijer or Kroger.

3. Where do you get your hair cut?
Anywhere that costs less than $15 for just a cut ...bahaha.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?
Gordon Ramsey!!I I bought my fiance one of his cook books for Christmas and it is so awesome. He keeps everything SO simple. His recipe for broccoli soup is broccoli, water, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Seriously. And I eat it religiously (I don't even like broccoli haha) because it takes like 10 minutes to make, tops.
BigOven.com is my favorite as far as websites.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning
I don't have time to blog, lol! I use facebook an unhealthy amount, though.

dietzcm · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

We don't.. we did in college, but not just saving up money until the wedding!

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Giant Eagle. Can't beat the fuel perks

3. Where do you get your hair cut? I lucked out with a sister that does hair!

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? allrecipes.com

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning I'm not a blog person really but I do go to perezhilton.com, I have an obsession with celebs!

JMS842 · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

No, we've decided to live apart until we get married. It's definitely created some challenges for us seeing that a lot of our relationship we have been living in separate states, but know it will be worth it in 8 months for us!

2. Where do you shop for groceries?

Kroger, Whole Foods, Trader Joes

3. Where do you get your hair cut?

J. Bentley's in Powell....awesome

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?

Facebook? haha jk although somewhat embarrassingly true..... I do love websites about easy healthy meals. Williams-Sonoma and Youtube for yoga videos is awesome too

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

Neither. I'm not really into reading or writing my own blog. I do enough personal reading and reading for school.... not so interested in blogging. lol

sbzw8704 · February 2011

1. We've lived together since about 4 months together. Our 7 year anniversary is our wedding date, August 7, 2011..and it rhymes

We have 2 kids together; Brayden 5 and Bailey 2.
2. Kroger, Walmart, or Meijer. We live in Marion, so we don't have all the options most of you guys do. We really want to move to Columbus, though.
3. Fantastic Sams. I usually keep it sorta short, but I'm growing it out for the wedding.
4. I use allrecipes.com most of the time or just google whatever I want to make. Googling usually leads me back to allrecipes.com
5. I should blog since every other person in my profession does, but that's why I don't want to. I'm a rebel!

I do have a Facebook, though. I don't have a favorite to look at, but I mostly look at photography blogs.

christic84 · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

Yes, I live with my FI. We started dating Sept 07, bought our house in April 08 (I know, quick) and we're getting married in October 2011.

2. Where do you shop for groceries? Giant Eagle in New Albany, close by our house. I go there so much, I'm on a first name basis with the meat man.

3. Where do you get your hair cut? I jump around some. Usually Penzone in Gahanna, or Stile Salons at Easton.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes? I just google what I need at that time

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH?

2. Where do you shop for groceries?

Kroger 90% of the time; Trader Joe's 10% of the time

3. Where do you get your hair cut?

Jim at Mug n Brush - best barber for girl hair ever!

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

offbeat bride, icanhascheezburger.com

BCsGal · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? (I guess DH is implied for the ol' married gals

After about five years of dating, H moved in with me, and then about 1 1/2 years after that we got engaged. To get the ring, I knew I had to get him out of Mom and Dad's house! ha!

2. Where do you shop for groceries?
We shop at the Kroger's at Powell Rd/Sawmill. It has a much better selection than the Giant Eagle up there, plus we can ride our bikes there in the summer, which we do often.

3. Where do you get your hair cut?
I go to Erin at Lennonheads on High St. in Worthington.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?
I usually go to allrecipes.com, and I always try to read the comments, because the more experienced cooks are very helpful. I also call my mom and MIL a lot too.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I read the blog Go Fug Yourself, it's written by 2 fashion gals who critique celebs outfits. It is hilarious. Every March, they do Fug Madness, where they rank the 64 worst offenders, and you fill out your bracket and everything, and then vote on who really wore the most F'ing UGly outfits that year. I admit I am addicted to Facebook, and check out People. com and embarrassingly, TMZ.com. What can I say? I like useless celeb news and gossip.

TheBeckmeister · February 2011

1. Do you currently live with SO/FI/DH? No, I live in VA Beach and FI lives in DC. We won't move in together until the wedding.

2. Where do you shop for groceries?

Wal-Mart or Bottom Dollar Food (I think that's a mid-Atlantic thing)

3. Where do you get your hair cut?

In Columbus, I used to have my hair cut by Rhonda at Total Platinum in Grove City; I think she opened her own salon recently, though.

4. Favorite website (or person, for say like foodnetwork) for recipes?

I usually will just google whatever I'm looking for and whichever recipe seems easiest, I'll go with.

5. Do you have a favorite blog or do you write a blog (other than wedding planning

I don't regularly read any blogs, but occasionally I'll read some fellow Knotties' blogs
