1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having? My mom had a patient named Vagina

2) What is pissing you off today? Nothing yet but I'm driving down to see BF today and I have major road rage so I'm sure someone will piss me off.

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent? Sometimes. I really like vanilla.

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)? I didn't know there was a sale today.

5) What is your favorite color to wear? Purple or blue.

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes. I don't have them yet but I bought a new pair of red heels for a wedding I'm going to. They have peep toe and small bow.

7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it? I did not.

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)? White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha...it's amazing but I don't have it very often because it's a million calories and full of sugar. I usually get their passion tea lemonade unsweetened.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something? Not that I recall and I think I would remember something like that!

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY? I love that I can always count on getting some honest advice here. I love my IRL friends but sometimes I need advice that isn't sugarcoated.

Blackbird230 · November 2013

Joining this because I'm mad NEY hasn't been my procrastinating tool for the morning since it's so quiet.

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having?
Yesenia

2) What is pissing you off today?
My editor's not even in the office and it's 1 p.m.

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent?
Nope. I'm scared I'll burn my apartment down by accident.

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)?
Can't afford anything since I'm blowing it on a mani and the second and third books for Divergent.

5) What is your favorite color to wear?
Maroon

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes.
Love love LOVE my new tall brown boots. They're relaxed, no zipper and just extremely comfy with not much of a heel.

7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it?
Nope. I don't have cable. Oops.

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)?
Salted caramel hot chocolate

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something?
Closest I've gotten to that is probably period accidents. I get so paranoid during period weeks!

Just how everyone's really great and supportive, but will give tough love when it's needed. I love you ladies.

Blackbird230 · November 2013

@bethsmiles, those shoes sound adorable!! Pics?

KateJ16 · November 2013

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having? T-a. It was pronounced (Tdasha). I'm not kidding.

2) What is pissing you off today? The fact that I have to check 880 pages of data back to the raw data on our server here at work. GRAR.

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent? Yes - I think it's called Vanilla Lime or something (it's a Yankee Candle one)

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)? Ooo I didn't realize that started today (just like I didn't realize the Nordstrom women's sale started yesterday!) - probably powder and a new eyeshadow.

5) What is your favorite color to wear? Cobalt blue - looks great with my hair and eyes. And I just love blue.

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes. I have two - one is a sky-high pair of suede bright purple pumps that I bought for my 30th bday, (my FI loves those shoes) and the other is a pair of peep-toe heels that are silvery-blue with a suede scallop around the top edge.

7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it? I didn't - just caught up with it via the news. I can't believe the torture that poor woman went through, and I had no idea that her family didn't search for her. It's heartbreaking.

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)? Grande latte with whole milk, and then I add maple syrup to sweeten.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something? Um yes - I think this came up on here before somewhere, but I had a severe food poisoning incidence last year around this time. Things came out in places I really wish they hadn't.

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY? The honesty here. I am trying to respond and/or post more to get closer to everyone, because it seems some good friendships have started on this page!

buddysmom80 · November 2013

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having? Ufuk, pronounced just how it looks. He was a client of mine back in my hairstyling days.

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent? I do after cleaning because I hate the smell of cleaning crap. I usually stick with vanilla flavors or very tropical. I have this one candle it's vanilla and jasmine it smells SO good.

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)? I'm not buying anything but I'm giving the BF the head's up since I added about 10 things from there to my wishlist for Christmas. I'm kind of drooling over the Marc Jacobs eyeshadow palettes. Like, all of them.

5) What is your favorite color to wear? Black, it's slimming, it goes with everything.

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes. I have too many to list. Seriously, I'm a shoes whore, I love them all too.

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)? I like the caramel stuff, I don't get Starbucks that often.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something? I almost shit my pants on my last trip to DC. I projectile vomited over my friend's WHITE Scion Tc and we ate pizza before-hand so yeah.

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY? That I can openly talk about poop and no one judges me. Also this is a great group of ladies.

KateJ16 · November 2013

@kait it's awesome. I used to do (and am trying to re-start) a real food diet, which means no normal sugar - just natural stuff like maple syrup and honey. I love the taste of the maple syrup in my coffee!

labro · November 2013

Stuck in the box. My grandfather's name is Joao. And my father's name is Joaquim. And I've got two Tio Fernandos. And there's also a Diamantina, Firmina, and Manuel in my family.

Viva Portugal!

Red or purple. I bought a lot of that persimmon color when it was in two years ago because it's a great color for me.

I don't think I have a favorite. I was pretty sad when I broke the heel on my black knee-high boot last week, though. I'd never broken a heel off before. Fortunately, with a hammer, screwdriver, epoxy, and some muscle, I was able to fix it. They have a slightly pointy toe, skinny heel that is low enough to be comfy, and they faux lace up the back.

CASK85 · November 2013

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having? Jacquizz Rodgers has a pretty ridiculous first name (running back for the Falcons).

ETA: there is a security guard who works in my lab building who is named Suavette. Like the hair product brand.

audrewuh · November 2013

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having?

The only one I can think of is the visitor we had Sunday named Brinley and only because I wanted to keep calling her Brittany.

That's all I've got. My brain tries to hard to keep track of the Brianna's and Breanna's in our group.

2) What is pissing you off today?

The fact that H's car won't get fixed until tomorrow, so I'm stuck at work for 13 hours today.

Also that I only got a 3.5% salary raise, which sounds like a good amount, but because my base salary is already so low, it's only an extra $18/paycheck. Woo.

I'm trying to be grateful, I am. I'm just pissed that my church members average 3x's more than I do.

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent?

QuiltingNurse sent me a Boston Marathon candle as a thank you for the tickets to the Red Sox game (the one where Big Papi yelled "This is our fucking city!) that we had to miss because of terrorists on our honeymoon. It smells really good.

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)?

Nothing. Cars are expensive to repair.

5) What is your favorite color to wear?

Red!!

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes.

My UH flip flops since between two dogs, I've lost 5 pairs of shoes in the last four months.

7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it?

Nope.

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)?

I usually get passion tea lemonade. Venti.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something?

Probably. I'm more likely to projectile sneeze. Like on my now-H when we had been together about 3 days.

@twodimes, I've got the kidney stones as well. Those bastards.

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY?

All you hoars. I like the comradery, accountability, and how everyone is striving to make the other person better. Like a good relationship.

Only saw the clips. Wish I'd seen the whole thing.

My seasonal favorite is probably the Pumpkin Spice Latte, though the new recipe for the Gingerbread Latte is amazing. My regular, tried and true, favorite is a soy caramel macchiato.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something?

I sharted once in a Sears. That was gross. And I ALMOST shit my pants on vacation...that was AWFUL. And I projectile vomited all over the front seat of Tiger's car the first time I met her IRL. I was SOOOOOOOOO embarrassed.

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY?

The constant source of love, support, friendship, and laughter. The GIFs are pretty cool too.

gives me somewhere to go to get "social interaction" (you don't get much of that as a computer programmer)

@bubbles053009 We went to Boston for the second leg of our honeymoon and our one full day there, we were on lockdown. We had tickets to the Sox game that day, but it obviously got moved to Saturday, first pitch being an hour before our plane took off. H was soooooo mad after he found out all of the cool stuff that happened. QuiltingNurse was so sweet, she sent a very nice thank you note along with the candle and one of the B Strong stickers they gave out at the game.

We're going back for a honeymoon re-do soon! The West, Texas explosion happened while we were in NYC, and H's family is from that area. It was a crazy week.

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having?

Richard (Dick) Johnson. That is all I have and is pathetic, I know.

2) What is pissing you off today?

The guy we are renting a cabin from for my birhday weekend isn't getting back to us and has us booked for the wrong days on his website (even though our contract has the right days).

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent?

Yes, H and I have a "lights out" night (not as Amish as it sounds) where we don't use the computer/TV and just light candles and play board games...or whatever else we decide to do

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)?

You tell me, what should I get?

5) What is your favorite color to wear?

Navy

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes.

I don't own many (sorry) but I love the sparkly flats I have on now. My BF got them for me as back up shoes for the wedding in case my wedding shoes hurt. Thank God because my feet were killing me at the wedding. I put the flats on pretty much after our first dance.

7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it?

Nope. My Uncle knew Dr. Phil and he is an ass in person so I don't watch his shows.

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)?

I'm boring...I love black coffee so I don't see the point of Starbucks.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something?

No. Fun fact...I haven't vomited since I was about 5 years old (even though I've downed a lot of vodka in one sitting one Halloween in college (think like a bottle) and have had the stomach flu since then).

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY?

All you lovely ladies of course. And snarkiness (because I'm not snarky at all but I love hearing all your comebacks).

There are two that come to my mind right away...both were students FI taught during his student teaching...shithead (pronounced sha-theed) and Chandelier.
2) What is pissing you off today?
My dang runny nose!

Ummm yes!! I love apple scent and pumpkin scent...both popular in the Fall!

Hmmm...not anything but if I were buying something it would be some new lip gloss.
5) What is your favorite color to wear?
Probably Navy.
6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes.
They are wedges and they are bright yellow with flowers on them. They are super tall and I only have a few outfits that I can wear them with so I just really like to look at them most of the time.
7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it?
Nope

Pumpkin Spiced Latte or White Chocolate Mocha with raspberry or peppermint yum!!!

Double post sorry

1) What is the craziest name you've ever heard of an ACTUAL person having?

Well, there are several. My mom works at a Children's Hospital, so some of the names there are pretty interesting. Precious Fur, Abcde and her brother Fghij, and an ACTUAL La-a (my mom works with computers and went on a rant about how parents with children named this get mad when nurses have to spell out the name Ladasha because the computer system won't take a - in the first name slot as it reads it as coding).

2) What is pissing you off today?

Not getting to eat lunch until about 2:30 today. I do not do well when I'm hungry.

3) Do you light candles at home? If so, favorite scent?
I don't light candles as that's against the rules of my dorm. I do have a (contraband) candle that is the closest thing to a Christmas tree I have ever found and it is heavenly. I also like Eucalyptus Spearmint and some spice smells.

4) What are you buying at the Sephora VIB Sale (which starts today...and is 20% off.)?

Nothing. I don't wear makeup and already have way more than I ever will need.

5) What is your favorite color to wear?
Teal and black. Also blue.

6) Tell me about your favorite pair of shoes.
Well... I don't really have a favorite pair. I have a pair of black slip-on flats that I wear all the time that are falling apart. My favorite heels are 3 inch black heels that make me feel awesome. I also really like my paddock boots and my hiking boots.

7) Did you watch Dr. Phil's interview with Michelle Knight? If so, what'd you think of it?

Nope. I don't even know who Michelle Knight is. Does that make me a bad person?

8) Favorite drink at Starbucks (seasonal or regular)?

I don't go to Starbucks. However, at Joe Muggs, there is this heavenly drink called a Candy Blast. I get it in the Reese's version of it. It's literally liquefied candy and it is awesome. It probably had your daily amount of calories in it, but oh my god it is so good. BF always gets me one if I'm feeling really down or if he needs to apologize for something.

9) Have you ever shit your pants/projectile vomited on something?
Unfortunately yes. I was in a car and couldn't get home fast enough for a very upset stomach.

10) What is your favorite thing about NEY?

The lovely ladies and their wonderful advice!

I. HATE. SLOWNESS!!!!!
