1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He can sleep anywhere, anytime basically. It makes me jealous. I need it to be silent and pitch black or I wake up, which drives him insane. He also tends to sleep without his pillow, which I find uber annoying.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
Anywhere that is not my desk. I've been eating at it daily for the past 2 weeks, which sucks big time. I think I'd like to go home, and have a nap while I'm at it.

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Purple, Green and Yellow by Robert Munsch (oh, and the Laura Ingalls Wilder series).

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
A lot! My event at work is happening tonight (yay!), and after that tomorrow will be a big office clean up (yay!), and then catch up. Oh ya, and I need to get the first week of my courses done too.

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him? He likes to sleep in the middle of the bed, therefore leaving me minimal space. I occaisionally grind my teeth in my sleep. He hates it.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
Venice, Italy - I don't know what I would have though.

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Lost Little Puppy - I think that is what it was. That is when I was very little.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
Find a job.... That sounds like a good goal. I need to do laundry really bad. Organize stuff.

nottheonlydreamer44 · September 2010

Ugh Cate! You are totally distracting me from my work. :-P

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him? - FI snores sometimes because he has a deviated septum from breaking his nose 4 times in soccer. I usually just kick him to get him to stop. He has recently become aware of my night-time seizures and spasms. I end up kicking him really hard and basically shoving him off the bed. He is not thrilled. lol.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose? - Hmmm I would teleport myself to Chicago so I could have an authentic slice of Chicago style pizza.

3) What's your favorite children's book? -
I honestly don't know what they were called so if someone knows by all means help me out - but it was a mouse family that lived in a tree and the little boy mouse always had these adventures. His first Thunderstorm, 1st trip to the dentist ect... *There were cassette tapes that went with the books too* and The Boxcar Children though I don't know if that counts.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
All this crap for school. I do not want to get behind but I already am. I need to start working on my language module and actually reading for once.

MLekathLEEN · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He has the weirdest sleep habits but most of them are cute. His new thing is that he likes to lay in the middle or diagonally across the bed. I also HATE x3 that he sets at least 5 alarms in the morning (at 3am, mind you) and lets them all go off and then he's late for work.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
A Planet Hollywod (any city would do) for their steak fajitas.

3) What's your favorite children's book?
The Stinky Cheese Man. Best. Book. EVER.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
Have an awesome trip to Boston and not to chew anyone out today or tomorrow.

emelri27 · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him? BF can fall asleep so fast where I need about 15 min, and he snores which makes it even harder to get to sleep!

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose? Hmm I'd say to an Italian restaurant near where BF currently lives. I miss him!

3) What's your favorite children's book? Berenstein Bears (the one about the messy room. I don't remember the title)

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week? I want to put in a good week at work I guess. I don't have much to do this week.

calindi · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He takes up the whole bed, and I end up falling off. He's a heat seeker, so he hunts me down and wraps around me. He also talks in his sleep. Also, fully asleep, he will decide he's 'in the mood' and jump my bones. It's not always the best way to wake up at 3am on a work night, but it's pretty funny on weekends when he wakes up in the middle of hooking up! He gets up at 5am to go running, and turns on lights and slams doors. I've made him sleep in the guest room during the week for now since I need my sleep! From me, he hates that I have restless leg syndrome and kick my legs around a lot.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
I've been researching restaurants for our Europe trip, and I really, really, really just want to go already! German brats, Vienna schnitzel, or Parisian pate! JUST LET ME GO ALREADY!

3) What's your favorite children's book?
The Bunnies' Get Well Soup. It's out of print, but I think I'm going to buy a copy off Amazon for my BF's sister who is expecting.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
Way too much... salvage an event that is falling apart since all of Mexico has decided to take vacation on Wed, Thurs, and Friday of this week (not kidding) and thus many have decided while they're at it, they might as well take ALL of next week off (also not kidding) so they can't make our event. I'm going to stab something.

StarGazingHiker · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He has Restless Leg Syndrome so he kicks them around a lot... but I rub them and usually that helps. He gets annoyed sometimes because, I tend to snuggle up against him and almost push him off the bed. He thought it was because the bed was to small so when we upgraded to a queen he thought he'd have more space but yeah, that didn't happen....I still snuggle and take up most of the bed

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
San Francisco for Clam Chowder... yummy!

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Katie the Kitten; The Pokey Little Puppy and as I got older, the Boxcar Children and Little House on the Prairie series

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
Get all my reading done and papers written for class on Thursday. Finish laundry and find a job!

[Deleted User] · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
We don't live together yet, so the only time I've seen him sleep is when he takes a nap at my house - he does snore, but it's not like a fog horn, so not too bad; I have restless leg syndrome, too, but most of the time mine bothers me before I go to bed, usually when I'm really tired.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
Anywhere I could get a big bowl of good fettucini alfredo - real, not lowfat

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Goodnight Moon; If you give a pig a pancake; If you give a mouse a cookie; any Mercer Mayer book

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
I'd like to find a job, too - found 4 to apply to yesterday, so that was a good start for the week; also want to get some back-stock made for my cards since my mom & I have a craft show coming up in the middle of October

leia1979 · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He snores! I need it to be silent to fall asleep, so most nights I just go to bed first. I dream of the day when we have a three bedroom house. My room will have a bed for the nights I can't take the snoring. I'm going to freakin' sound-proof that room.

I'm a cover thief, so he'll wake up with no blankets.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
Seattle. I want a salmon piroshky from Piroshky Piroshky. If I'm still hungry, I will walk to Steamers for clam chowder.

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Dr. Seuss' I Can Read With My Eyes Shut.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
Survive work through Wednesday and then go to Disneyland!

Elle1036 · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him? He's just too cuddly. Once it's time to actually sleep, I need my space. His complaint is that I refuse to cuddle in my sleep.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose? A remote island beach. I don't care about the food, I just want to get away from my email for a while.

3) What's your favorite children's book? Where the Wild Things Are, or Island of the Skog, or Love You Forever, or the Curious George books

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week? Survival?

GreenPepperBurger · September 2010

1. He snores. LOUD. And has an annoying habit of rolling on top of me, putting all of his weight by his elbow into my shoulder. OUCH. I must sleep with my butt up in the air and will prop my leg up on anything.

2. SUSHI. I haven't had it in months.

3. I loved the Berenstein Bears. Any and all.

4. I'm hoping to get through this week without falling apart (my pet is very, very sick).

breezerb · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?

Matt falls asleep on the couch about 4 days a week watching Sportscentre. I can understand once in awhile but 4 days? If he's that tired he should just come to bed!

I steal blankets.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?

A little cafe in Italy for some homemade pasta. Yum...

3) What's your favorite children's book?

Love You Forever

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?

I'm hoping to make it to Friday... It's only Tuesday but man I wish this week was over

zipis1 · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He sleeps super late, no matter how early he goes to bed. He could go to bed at 8pm and still not wake up til 12pm or later the next day. He also grinds his teeth when he sleeps and it drives me crazy and wakes me up.

I'm just guessing here, but I would say the fact that I tend to megacuddle up to him at night, resulting in him barely being on the bed. When we shared a twin, he would be smashed onto the wall. We have a queen now and because I do this to him we take up about 1/3 of the bed and the cats get the rest.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
Ummm...hm. I really don't know. Maybe to my friend's housse so she can feed and entertain me.

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Rainbow Fish!

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
Applying for a few jobs and cleaning the apartment. Those are really the only things I CAN accomplich at the moment :P

Oh no! What's wrong? (If you're up to sharing--I don't want to make you more distressed.)

deburnin · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?

When BF lays on his back he snores soooo loud. For some reason this week he's taken to laying on his back a lot. *grumble*

Probably the fact that I like to stay up so late and then sleep in.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?

Well since lunch has passed... For dinner, I'd teleport BF and I to the Biergarten in Epoct. That was his favorite part of our last Disney trip and it would be a nice break from studying for him.

3) What's your favorite children's book?

I actually don't have one. I remember my dad telling me different Native American stories before I would fall asleep so I'd have to go with those.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?

I hope to finish packing up BF's room and move on to his closet. Blargh, that's going to be a project... (And the only reason BF is getting out of helping is because he spends every free minute studying and probably won't be done with his exams until right before we close on the house).

musikbx · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?

He tosses and turns as he's trying to fall asleep. Thankfully, we just got a memory foam mattress. Basically, he can flop around all he wants and I don't feel a thing! Every night 45 minutes after going to bed, I wake up really confused, and say things that I don't remember. He's not so much annoyed as he is amused.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?

Paris! Last time I was there, I found a place that serves a really delicious appetizer and main dish of the chef's choosing. It came with a glass of wine, and only put me back the equivalent of 20 USD. I would eat there every day if I could.

3) What's your favorite children's book?

I'll go with Grimm's Fairytales. It's the first thing that comes to mind, I'm currently trying to get through it in German.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?

If this is work related, I have too many things to list since it's the first week of school and I have a list a mile long. At home, I am currently trying to simplify my life (read: sell my belongings on craigslist). I hope to get the last batch of things posted, and out of the apartment by the end of the week.

She may have FIP, which is a fatal virus that afflicts young cats. I'm very torn up about it. Before I had pets and would hear people talk about their sick or dead pets, I'd just think, "Why are they getting so upset about it? It's just an animal." Uh, NO. It's NOT just an animal. I understand now. =/ Thanks for your thoughts, though.

Roo726 · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him? This doesn't happen often, were kinda traditional- no living together before marriage. The few times it has, there actually hasn't been any issues. I am sensitive to snoring, but his doesn't wake me up- a miracle. I know I hog the blankets tho, so that has happened.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose? Greece, where i would enjoy a nice gyro overlooking the beautiful blue water.

3) What's your favorite children's book? hmmm...the weedle on the needle. You won't know this unless you are from Seattle, but its an adorable book.

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week? I moved about a month ago and I am still unpacking. My goal is to be done by the end of this weekend.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose? A little family-owned cafe somewhere in Italy.

3) What's your favorite children's book? The Velveteen Rabbit

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week? Laundry!

Yes! It's called Les Fontaines, the address is 9 rue Soufflot.
It's open Monday-Saturday Noon-3 and 7:30-11:00

I didn't go for dinner, but the lunch deal was awesome. If you order the <em>Plat du Chef</em>, you get an appetizer, a main dish and a glass of wine. Basically, the chef makes whatever he feels like, and it's different each day. There is a full menu, also... incase you're not into whatever the special is that day ;-)

GreenPepperBurger · September 2010

Thanks everyone for your kind words. The doctor at the animal hospital ran a test and said if it came back positive then she definitely had FIP. Thankfully, the test came back negative. She's still not out of the woods yet, but we may have located the problem and hopefully it can be fixed. *crosses fingers*

CWill16 · September 2010

1) What sleep habits annoy you about your BF/FI/DH? Which of your habits annoy him?
He likes to go to bed late (like 2) and I like to go to bed at 12 so I feel like we never go to sleep at the same time! He says I cocoon the blankets around me and he doesn't have any.

2) If you could teleport anywhere in the world for lunch today, where (restaurant, country, home, etc.) would you choose?
The Bob Marley restaurant in Universal in FL. I am not huge into the whole Rasta thing, but the authentic Jamaican food was awesome! His wife apparently owns the place.

3) What's your favorite children's book?
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret

4) What do you hope to accomplish this week?
I need to do a case brief due for next Tuesday but I hope to finish Thursday.

OooOooh... I might just do that! THANK YOU! I've been stalking TripAdvisor for restaurant recommendations in a reasonable price range. So far, we've found a great prix fixe for dinner one night, and a restaurant featuring duck in its many forms and excellent foie gras. A great lunch place is perfect!

I know it's not the same as being there, but I'll take pictures and tell you how it was if we go to this restaurant!
