Re: NWR: Ask Me Anything

  • 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?  What did you actually become? I wanted to be a doctor and I started this recruiting job after I graduated in May 2012. It is really different but I’ve enjoyed it so far. I may go into another field of recruiting if I get this other job I’m interviewing for next week.

    8. How are you like your parents? How are you not?

    I look exactly like my mother but I have pretty similar qualities from both parents...I'm very organized and Type A like my Dad but I'm also very girly and outgoing like my mother.

     9. Who has been the biggest influence on your life?

    Jesus

     10. If you had to spend $100 in the next hour on one item, what would it be?

    No I believe that every year of my life has a significant purpose to lead to right now so I wouldn't want to change anything.

    Are you close with your parents and/or siblings? Yes and no? 

    Yes I'm very close to my family. I used to fight a lot with my younger sister when we were both living at home but not so much anymore.

    Single cosmetic product you could not live without? 

    I usually don't wear makeup during the week but if I had to choose then it would be mascara.

    Favorite place you've ever traveled? 

    I love visiting California...there are so many things to do and see and the atmosphere is just so relaxing.


    What kind of mac and cheese is your favorite? 

    I like the mac and cheese where you use different types of cheese with it instead of just cheddar or one type.

    If you remember, what was the name of your first crush? 

    Ha! I think his name was Zachary and I was in kindergarten and my mom used to let me go over to his house and play but for the life of me I can't remember what we actually played with.

    How do you normally cut and style your hair? If you could change the cut/style as drastically as you wanted for just one day, what would you do? 

    I usually just get my layers trimmed every few months and it's pin straight so it drys straight. I have a side part too but if I could drastically change it I would wish that it wouldn't be so darn straight and maybe a little thicker.

    What is your least favorite season, and why? If you live somewhere without the four seasons, what's your least favorite weather and why? I would say Winter because everything is dead and I hate being cold. Even though our winters aren't that bad, I just prefer to be warm.

    If you could meet and spend the day with anyone in the world, who would it be? Why? 

    I would say either my mom's father who I never got to meet. Mom always said that he would have been the best grandfather and I wish I knew more about him.

    What position do you prefer to sleep in (side sleeper, stomach sleeper, back sleeper, you get the idea)? 

    All sides...I don't have a preference. Maybe my stomach or side most of the time.

    Hmmm...Falling over the seats at the Braves game a couple months ago into a random man's lap...I looked really cute...at least it wasn't a baby I was falling on.

    3) If you could wear only one color for the rest of your life, which color would you choose? I would say either blue or red.

    If you remember, what was the name of your first crush? Adam. It was Kindergarten. We danced in the coat room. 

    What position do you prefer to sleep in (side sleeper, stomach sleeper, back sleeper, you get the idea)? Side/Stomach. I keep telling myself I'm going to have nasty wrinkles on my face when I'm older because I will smoosh the crap out of my face in my pillow. 


    If you could wear only one color for the rest of your life, which color would you choose?Black. I'd be so classy and all of my jewelry would always match.
  • 1) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Pat Benetar's wife. Not my fault...her haircut was confusing and I have a brother named Pat.

    What did you actually become? Not Pat Benetar's wife.

    What did you actually become? Not Pat Benetar's wife.

     

    This made my day :D

    What position do you prefer to sleep in (side sleeper, stomach sleeper, back sleeper, you get the idea)?

    I've been trying to fall asleep on my back because it's easier on my shoulders, but I end up only falling asleep on my side. I usually wake up with my face smooshed into a pillow.

    What was your most recent embarrassing moment?

    Ahaha. My ex-best guy friend and I "broke up" friend-wise because he and I had been hooking up, and he decided he wanted to date one of our mutual friends (think Arrested Development--"Her?"). We tried to rekindle our friendship after a while, but it fizzled out. After my engagement, I wanted to get in touch with him and try again, so I opened an IM window--but wasn't sure what to type. In the meantime, I was venue-hunting with my fiance, so I started IMing him comments about some of the venues ... but I'd been typing/sending them in the wrong IM window. Awkward.

    If you could wear only one color for the rest of your life, which color would you choose?

    I feel like in the spirit of the question, I should answer navy, but like so many of you, I'd also pick black.

    How old were you when you met your S/O?  How old was he/she?


    I was recently turned 25, and he was 27 but almost 28.


    What movies make/have made you cry?  If there are none, what's wrong with you?

    EVERYTHING. Movies, commercials, TV shows, thinking about things that are sad OR happy. I have a problem.


    If you could meet and spend the day with anyone in the world, who would it be?  Why?


    Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is a total badass.


    I should answer my own questions:


    First crush: My best friend in 3rd grade, Ravi


    Hair style: Shoulder length with long layers and side swept bangs. If I could have it be wildly different for one day, you can bet that I would have an electric blue pixie cut.


    Least favorite season: SUMMER. WHY IS IT SO HUMID.

    Anniversary
    now with ~* INCREASED SASSINESS *~

  • aww, I missed some good questions:

    27.  How old were you when you met your S/O?  14. We didn't start dating until I was 21.

    28.  What movies make/have made you cry?  Cheesy romantic stuff. I'm a sucker for a confession of love! (the Notebook is a good example.) Also anything actually sad, like deaths (A Walk to Remember as PP mentioned)

  • omg so many questions! and I'm late again.

    first- my question. do people still say fml? or is that over?

    7. What's the significance of your username? References the movie and part of my name is Summer.

    8. How are you like your parents? How are you not?  I am very much like my father. We talk the same way, hold the same opinions on almost every topic and even have the same teeth. My dental history is identical to my father at my age. We both have the same receding gum on the same bottom tooth. It's creepy. 

    9. Who has been the biggest influence on your life?  My grandmother. She was a teacher and a social worker. She had 7 kids and all of them went to college and grad school with her support. She never let anyone ever see her sweat it. She was an animal in her day.

Once I let her in my life, she calls me night and day and then suddenly stops and doesn't answer my calls for months. I'm six years older than my brothers, so we aren't exactly close either.

    20.  Favorite place you've ever traveled? Bogota, Colombia

    22. How do you normally cut and style your hair? If you could change the cut/style as drastically as you wanted for just one day, what would you do? My hair has a few layers, typically curly but flat irons very well. If I were to do anything, I would cut it to shoulder length and get a straightening treatment with possible highlighting....but really that sounds way too high maintenance.

    23. What is your least favorite season, and why? If you live somewhere without the four seasons, what's your least favorite weather and why?  I'm not a huge fan of the summer because I do not like the heat and I HATE sweating.

    25. What was your most recent embarrassing moment? I puked at a Bruins game when I jumped up out of my seat. Not a fun situation.

    27.  How old were you when you met your S/O?  We grew up in the same town, so like middle school was when I first "knew" him. His sister has been a close friend since 6th grade, and FI is 2 years older than us. 

    28.  What movies make/have made you cry?  My Sister's Keeper, The Notebook, The Lion King

  • I said "FML" today, but I'm far from the authority on what's in or out.
  • @buddysmom80 aw thank you!  today it's up in a topknot, I was too lazy to wash.  now I feel better about it, haha!

  • Man, I am so late to this...again.

    1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What did you actually become?  I was always told by my grandmother to be a lawyer or a doctor.   I wanted to be a professor.  I ended up being a lawyer.  In retrospect, I should have been a doctor because I love taking care of people and hate being hated.

I loved Hayden for girl before it became popular.  I have a really unique name and want one for our kids (but not in a, look, I mispelled this popular name and now its "new" way).  I haven't fallen in love with any name since then though.

    6. What's your favorite animal? Why? Our dog.  He is independent and stubborn and cranky....not sure why I love him actually.  :)  Great Pyrs are not for the faint of heart but he's great.

    7. What's the significance of your username? Minskat means "My treasure" or "My sweetheart" in Danish (my nickname from my grandmother).  I was 30 when I joined this site.

    8. How are you like your parents? How are you not? I am very much like my mom. We look similar and she is one of my best friends.  She didn't really raise me (my grandmother mostly did) so I think that let us be friends easier.

    9. Who has been the biggest influence on your life? My grandmother. Went through the Great Depression, hid her Jewish friends while Nazis occupied Denmark, raised two boys on her own, road across Europe by herself on a motorcycle, etc.  She was amazing.

    10. If you had to spend $100 in the next hour on one item, what would it be?A massage.

    15. Did you ever wish you could delete a year of your life? What would it be?No, even the painful ones I would keep 

    16. Are you close with your parents and/or siblings? Yes, I worked hard at building a relationship with them since they didn't raise me.  I took care of my Dad for a year with my sister while he passed from cancer.  My mom and I are very close too.

    17. What kind of mac and cheese is your favorite? Any...but I haven't found a good gluten-free version. 

    18. Single cosmetic product you could not live without? Foundation

    19. NEYer whose engagement ring you MOST want to steal? Not sure...I haven't focused much on rings.

    20. Favorite place you've ever traveled? Egypt was great, as was India.

    21. If you remember, what was the name of your first crush? I was proposed to for the first time in Kindergarten by Tim (he actually gave me his mother's engagement ring...thank God I didn't lose it) but my first crush was Dan.

    22. How do you normally cut and style your hair? If you could change the cut/style as drastically as you wanted for just one day, what would you do? Pony tail...I need to do something with my hair.  I love to dye it...I've been blond, brown, red and every color in between other than black.

    I loved that! It was no snow, my kind of a winter!
    SAME. We're actually hoping we get a similar winter this year, or at least a very late start. We're picking our venue, and we want to be able to take lots of outdoor photos in mid-November.
