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.

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.

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

)

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.

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.

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*

firsttimersluck · September 2011

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.

ggirl2001 · September 2011

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.

CAB1217 · September 2011

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

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!

Bad habit: I have a dirty mouth.

calindi · September 2011

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.

TeamBaby · September 2011

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.

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

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: NWR Poll for everyone! (Lurkers- That means you too) : Do they start to smell after not wearing socks?
Posted by KendallR10[/QUOTE]

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.

firsttimersluck · September 2011

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. >_<

calindi · September 2011

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!

Posted by firsttimersluck[/QUOTE]

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

firsttimersluck · September 2011

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.

LetsHikeToday · September 2011

I have uggs and love them! I don't wear them with mini skirts but still rock them with jeans! :-)
