    Favorite Candy Bar: Any type of Reeses

    Favorite TV Show: Bravo (the whole channel), Californication, Modern Family

    Favorite drink (alcoholic or non): Non- Vitamin water zero. Alcohol- Corona Light with a lime

    Coke or Pepsi?: Diet Pepsi

    Favorite Sport's Team: Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins

    Favorite Magazine: Us weekly and people. Why do I like celebrity gossip so much???

    Your happy place: Pittsburgh, PA. Also, my parents house. I love going to visit.

    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy: Vampire and Zombie anything- not my thing.

    One wedding tradition you think is ridiculous: I had a hard time planning because I think most traditions are ridiculous. I looked up the meaning of things like veils, garter toss, etc. and they don't really fly with me. But I understand they are traditions and have different reasonings today.

    Your perfect day: Wake up early, have some coffee, do a work out, go to our Steeler bar long before the game with H, MOH and her FI, play board games while waiting, drink more than a few, watch the game, and go somewhere to eat on Capitol Hill.

    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy:When people dye their hair all sorts of weird unnatural colors

    Favorite Candy Bar: Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs (sold at Easter)- I just like that there's no hard edges- it's all "the best part."  Silly, I know.

    Favorite drink (alcoholic or non):  non: unsweetened iced tea, alcoholic: wine- Cab, beer- any amber microbrew, liquor- dirty martini

    Favorite Magazine:  Current subscriptions: InStyle and Better Homes & Gardens, also love People and Glamour

    Your happy place:  Right now, our daughter's nursery.  I started planning before it was confirmed she was a girl. :)  She's getting the room I would have if I were still single- because I won't make my husband sleep in a room with a chandelier. LOL
    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy: UGH!  Those stupid old cars that are on lift kits with wheels so big they can't turn at more than 2 MPH.  And the people who drive them.
    One wedding tradition you think is ridiculous:  Not a fan of the garter toss or smashing cake in each others' faces. I paid too much money for that make-up and dress.  Plus I've seen some that are really disrespectful to each other.
    Your perfect day:  Starts with coffee on the couch with my husband and ends with a great dinner with friends.
    Bad habit:  procrastination.  :/

    Something people would be surprised to know about you: I used to do alot of acting/musical theater.  I started with Community Theater when I was 4, and did traveling shows, summer stock, Shakespeare Festivals, and some commercials and modeling.  I did mostly regional stuff,  I was even considered for a part in Dawson's Creek as Joey's (Katie Holmes) little sister, but they wen't with someone older.  I also did pageants, but quit that when I was in HS..

    Favorite Season and why?: Fall because Football season starts

    Bad habit: I have a ton of them!! I'm messy, I procrastinate, I can't say "No" when people ask me to do things. I pop my knuckles, I make awful facial expressions when I wear sunglasses cause I think no one can see me (Usually about someone's outfit, or the fact that they are wearing pink sponge rollers INSIDE the mall!), I'm overly judgmental, I hold grudges, I cuss.. all the time, I get exasperated with people who I think are stupid, I am impatient & I bite my nails..

    ETA: More bad habits

    Favorite Season and why?:
    Fall. It's the best here in the NW. Colors turn, sun is out but still chilly, the pumpkin picking and corn mazes are incredible.. and it's the build up to the happy holiday season. :) And it's when I met FI :)

    Your happy place:
    The Sauna at the gym because it makes my brain stop thinking...
    Curled up on the couch with Fi watching the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Tosh :o)

    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy:
    1. Colored skinny jeans. I don't find them cute at all. And very very large women wear them.. Just because they are called skinny jeans, doesn't mean they make you LOOK skinny.

    One wedding tradition you think is ridiculous:
    Dollar dances for sure. And people thinking they HAVE to have all family in the WP.

    Your perfect day:
    Wine tastings, a good hairday, girlyness and a hott date with Fi.

    Bad habit:
    I chew the inside of my mouth.. like the cheeks and stuff.. It's really bad because it gives me the wrinkle/creases on my lips (boo) and causes some bad canker sores.. *sigh*

    Go...

    Oh I totally agree on the whole top tier of cake.. a year old piece of cake does not sound appetizing.. blah.

    Also, the garter toss I guess doesn't bother me, but we're not doing the bouquet toss, so we're playing a game with the garter instead.

    LOL the "to obey" deal... FI was like.. We should have that in vows towards ME and for you it should say "to command"
    oooh silly man.

    I think for Garter/bouquet toss you have to know your crowd. At my wedding, there was literally 2 single girls there and 2 single guys. It would have just been awkward, everyone else was married/engaged/in very long term relationships heading towards engagement very soon. So we did not do it.

    We tried to keep the top tier of the cake, yeah it got wrecked on the 6hr car ride home haha. Oh well.

    Dollar dances-never even heard of them until a wedding I went to a few years ago with a friend and I had  no clue what people were doing. It has never been done in my circle at all.

    i also agree with the Ugg boots. Never liked them, never wanted a pair.

    Favorite Candy Bar: Either Twix or Rolos
    Favorite TV Show: So hard to say, don't watch too much TV these days... I guess Family Guy
    Favorite drink (alcoholic or non): NON: Coke ALCOHOLIC: either Blue Moon or Hangar 24 for beer, and of course, Cab if we're talkin wine.
    Coke or Pepsi?: SEE ABOVE :)
    Favorite Sport's Team: Good Ol' L.A. Lakers! :)
    Favorite Magazine: US Weekly, Elle, Cosmo.
    Something people would be surprised to know about you: I am fluent in Spanish. This usually surprises people because apparently I look Asian. Not that an Asian person can't speak Spanish... just saying people are surprised to learn I am really Mexican. Yeahhh...
    Favorite Season and why?:  FALL! Weather is perfect, fashion is awesome... 'nuff said.
    Your happy place: The place where I am getting married, Riley's Farm in Yucaipa, CA.
    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy: There are a lot of trends I just don't get. I guess the first thing that came to mind was planking.
    One wedding tradition you think is ridiculous:Garter toss. Last thing I want is for everyone to see our first sexual interaction with each other... ick.
    Your perfect day: Hanging out with my favorite people: FI, my sister, and my brother in law. OH! And now, my niece, too! :)

    Favorite Candy Bar:  Milky Way

    Favorite TV Show:  Burn Notice.  Perfect mix of things being blown up, high speed chases, hot men, and romance.  Not to mention I recognize most of the places where they film.

    Favorite drink (alcoholic or non): Beer.  Specifically pale ale.  I love me some hoppy beer, but not always IPA level of hops.

    Coke or Pepsi?: Neither.  I have never drank either. Colas all make me feel nauseous.

    Favorite Sport's Team: Patriots

    Favorite Magazine: Martha Stewart's Weddings.

    Something people would be surprised to know about you: I once won a hula-hooping competition - I went 4.5 hours without stopping and could have done more, but everyone else had quit/lost by then, and I was hungry!

    Favorite Season and why?: Fall.  I love the crisp air, and camp fires, and apple picking, and pumpkin-flavored things, and Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday - food, family, friends, and no need to exchange gifts.  Sadly, I miss out on the weater down here.

    Your happy place: Costa Rica.  Whenever I get stressed, I picture sitting on the porch of the little cabin we rented near the Arenal Volcano on FI and my first trip together (we bought the plane tickets only a few weeks into dating, and went before we'd even been dating 6 months).  It was like being Tarzan and Jane in the middle of the jungle, with awesome coffee and fresh air everywhere.

    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy: Planking.  WTF is planking, who started it, and why do people keep doing it?  It's just laying down somewhere.  It's stupid.

    One wedding tradition you think is ridiculous: The garter.  I don't want anyone going up under my dress in front of my family.  I most certainly don't want a whole bunch of FI and my friends scrambling to grab a piece of clothing that was on me.  It just feels awkward every time I see it.

    Your perfect day: Waking up next to FI and cuddling (this doesn't happen often, as he's usually out of bed at 5am).  Going to brunch, someplace that makes amazing eggs benedict.  Stopping by the Cuban "palace of juices" and get some fresh guanabana juice and some flan.  Going out on my friend's boat and relaxing with some beer and sangria while chilling on the sandbar.  Then spending the evening cuddling with FI, playing board games and watching football or a good movie, while chowing down on junk food like meatball subs or buffalo chicken dip or wings.

    Bad habit: Biting my nails.  I mostly stopped, and then I started again.  I have to re-stop again.

    Everyone is hatin on the Uggs!  LOL  I'm not defending their look but the feel- OMG AMAZING!  They are the softest things that will ever touch your feet.  You wear them barefoot and your feet will stay dry and cozy even when your trudging through the snow!  I love them and I fought it for a while.  :)  But you will never see me in them in the spring or summer and NEVER with a mini skirt.  ;)

    Favorite Candy Bar:  Reese's Cups.

    Favorite TV Show: Favorite drink (alcoholic or non): Alcoholic - I'm really feeling Gin and Ginger lately.  Non - Any variety of diet soda.

    Coke or Pepsi?:  I'll drink either as long as it's diet.

    Favorite Sport's Team: The only sport I really follow is college football, so I'm going with the LSU Tigers.

    Favorite Magazine: I'm not really a magazine person.

    Something people would be surprised to know about you: IRL, I'm silly and awkward (and blonde), so most people are surprised to learn that I'm actually pretty intelligent, too.  Not intelligent enough, however, to think of a better answer for this question.

    Favorite Season and why?: Summer!  I love any activity that can be done in or around the water, so yeah.

    Your happy place:  On a boat in the lake somewhere.

    Something trendy that you hate and have NO idea why it is trendy: Twilight.

    One wedding tradition you think is ridiculous: Not to offend anyone, but I think a lot of wedding traditions are ridiculous.  I'm going to go with the bouquet toss for this one.

    Your perfect day: A day spent in the sun and on the water.

    Bad habit: So many.  Procrastinating, leaving clothes all over the place, picking at my nails...

    No, not at all.  That's what I thought too but when I bought my first pair, the sales lady told me that's how you're supposed to wear them and they're made in a way where they don't smell.  Crazy but true.

    haha Yes they do! LIES! Plus very few people actually buy the real brand but wear them the same so they smell AWFUL. I'm sorry, but even the real ones are horrible to me. Walking to class in the pouring rain and sitting next to a bunch soaking wet Uggs is NOT a nice smell.  >_<

    I'd wear Uggs around the house as slippers, but those would be some VERY expensive slippers.  And I've bought the actual slippers that Uggs markets, and they just aren't that comfortable.  Eh... I live in flip flops anyway, Uggs have no place in Miami!

    I can't speak for the knockoffs but I have 3 pairs of real ones and none of them smell.  One pair is even 6 years old.  As for walking in the rain or snow, you definitely have to spray the fabric protectant/waterproof stuff on them.  I still love them.  :P

    Yeah. Not worth it.. I just don't like them. I think they belong in the snow in AK or in the house.. I am comfy in my yoga pants all day but don't wear them out.. haha.. Just raggin on you Teamer, ;) It's all personal preference.
