1. Do you have a place where you would like to go and think? If so, where? I like to go in to my home office and curl up in the big fluffy easy chair I have in there. It's right by a window and the room is usually bright and very sunny. It's always a place I feel like I can go to relax and focus on a problem.

2. What always makes you a more confident person? On any random day, if I'm dressed in a really awesome outfit that's perfectly accessorized and my hair looks good. If we're talking overall, I feel like I become a more confident person when I feel prepped and ready for whatever challenges or lists of things I have to do that day...so I guess being organized helps me to be more confident.

3. What movie deserves a sequel? WALL-E

4. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got? I always wanted one of those mini kid SUV/Barbie Jeeps. I always felt like the kids who got those were super lucky.

5. Where do you not mind waiting? In Starbucks for my coffee because I get in my daily fill of people watching.

6. What one thing annoys you most at a restaurant? Kids misbehaving/crying/acting up. My dad never gave us a chance to get out of control in public. He'd march us out the door immediately and we'd have to go sit in the car until we could get it under control again.

7. If you could buy one object to complete your home, what would it be? I'd really like a china buffet for my dining room.

8. What part of your body could use a little lotion? My upper arms. For some reason they always get dry and red looking in January/February. My skin must get really worn out from the dry/cold weather.

9. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? As long as I had the money to cover maxing out my card, I'd probably go spend it all on a new wardrobe at The Loft and get rid of all my other stuff.

ShallowSeas · January 2014

1. Do you have a place where you would like to go and think? If so, where?
The shower. I do a lot of thinking there.

2. What always makes you a more confident person?
A good hair day or having an outfit on that I really like. Also, when I just get done working out I feel pretty good about myself.

3. What movie deserves a sequel?
Titanic. I would love for them to have done a movie about Roses life after the Titanic up until the point where they discovered it. So maybe it would kind of be a prequel?

4. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?
A pet monkey, which I did not get for obvious reasons, and this motorized Little Mermaid car.

5. Where do you not mind waiting?
idk, I'm kind of impatient. I always mind waiting.

6. What one thing annoys you most at a restaurant?
The way people eat. I hate seeing people with bad manners or people or are just gross when they eat. I also hate how its always so cold in restaurants.

7. If you could buy one object to complete your home, what would it be?
Either a new dining room table or a new living room set.

8. What part of your body could use a little lotion?
muh legs.

9. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
Hobby Lobby

10. Add your own! If you had one last meal, what would it be?
Homemade chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes, corn, and a dinner roll. mmm..

CLoGreenEyes · January 2014

1. Do you have a place where you would like to go and think? If so, where? Well, apparently my bed when I'm trying to actually sleep is the best place. Taking walks outside also does wonders for me.

2. What always makes you a more confident person? Doing anything difficult and meaningful for me - exercise, volunteering, and nursing school all qualify.

3. What movie deserves a sequel? I can't think of any truly awesome movies that would benefit from having a sequel. Most good ones stand on their own.

4. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got? A farm.

5. Where do you not mind waiting? I actually don't mind waiting at the MVA. I count on spending a while there. I bring a book and make myself comfortable. It's good.

6. What one thing annoys you most at a restaurant? Pushy servers with squeaky fake customer service voices who try to get you to try all this stuff when you're like, "Really, I just want what I ordered."

7. If you could buy one object to complete your home, what would it be? I would just buy a home. Living with the family is getting REALLY old. Me plus a home would be complete enough for me right now.

8. What part of your body could use a little lotion? My hands, but I can't put any on until after pole class tonight. Lotion = slipping and sliding off the pole, which is not particularly sexy or fun.

9. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Macy's.

10. Add your own! OK, so mine is, if you're at Cheesecake Factory, what kind of cheesecake do you order? My answer: the Oreo one. I had it for the first time last night and er. MAHGERD. I can't even describe how in love I am with this cheesecake.

Peaseblossom55 · January 2014

1. Do you have a place where you would like to go and think? If so, where?

When waiters an waitress expect tips

Rude/cheap customers. I've been a waitress and I know how hard it can be. Also, I hate going to a really nice place with a couple that brings ill-behaved kids. If I ever whinned or cried at a restaurant...my family left.

A built-in bookcase in this great nook we have.

labro · January 2014

New Questions!

What is your favorite kind of sushi? FI and I really just love to get nigiri and sashimi. I love love love conch and smoked eel. Those two are my favs. Rolls are fun and all but I don't have any particular favorites.

Where do you think you will be in the next 5 years? In 5 years I'll be nearly 32. So married to FI! Honestly, I'd like to have a kid at that point. I'd also like to have advanced in my job...maybe into some sort of consulting position and making six figures.

What animal best describes your SO? My FI is constantly watching out for me. I think in a way one of his faults is that he always worries the worst will happen. So if a cup is sitting near the edge of the table he'll move it closer to the center. Stuff like that. An animal that I picture as a worrier is a badger. Lol I don't know why. But FI is also a builder and a fixer and he's just strong and capable of everything.

What would you love to be eating right now? Chocolate.

if you're at Cheesecake Factory, what kind of cheesecake do you order? I order the banana one every single time. I love all the fresh whipped cream on it!

If you had one last meal, what would it be? Ummm...probably tortellini, and lots of cheese and tomato sauce and vegetables sauteed to perfection. And lots and lots of wine.

CLoGreenEyes · January 2014

If you had one last meal, what would it be? Pineapple and ham pizza, Diet Coke, and OREO CHEESECAKE.

What would you love to be eating right now? Oreo cheesecake!

Where do you think you will be in the next 5 years? Probably finishing up my BSN and working as a nurse in...some specialty yet to be determined. Hopefully in a relationship with an amazing man that I share similar goals and values with. Planning awesome vacations together and either starting to foster children or in the process of adopting one.

What is your favorite kind of sushi? I've actually never had sushi, but I'm not sure I would like it.

Peaseblossom55 · January 2014

The vet's office, because I get to see all the other animals that come in, and everyone wants to ask me about my dog cuz she's adorable :-)

6. What one thing annoys you most at a restaurant?

Slow service, especially if I need another drink (alcoholic or non). I need to have something to drink - usually water - while I'm eating, and if I'm out of my drink I'll basically stop eating until I get a refill.

7. If you could buy one object to complete your home, what would it be?

I want a new couch SOOOOOO bad. L-shaped. Leather. Swooon. Our current couch is from Ikea, and FI and his 2 old roommates bought it USED about 5 or 6 years ago. God knows how many people have had sex on this couch.

labro · January 2014

@CLoGreenEyes What kind of blasphemy is that? You need to try it sometime! Good sushi...not somewhere cheap and fake and gross. Although it does help to slowly introduce yourself with things like California rolls before breaking in to the harder core stuff. There are so many things I've tried through sushi that I never would have had otherwise and while some of there weren't so great there were other things (like conch) that I was like...omg this is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!

Ummmmm I've only ever been there once and have no clue of the flavors so I'll go with plain.

Let's go with a bear. He's furry and snuggly and the bears in my head are snuggly.

From @minskat30: Where do you think you will in the next 5 years?

I always wanted to be Ariel as a kid though. Maybe it's because I totally suck at singing and she had all the best songs.

What book do I *HAVE* to add to my reading list for this year? @Swazzle How about Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. That's our bookclub book for February and I'm really excited for it. It's based on a true story about the last person (a woman named Agnes) to be publicly beheaded in Iceland. I also really wanted to read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

[Deleted User] · January 2014

@lmhollister- Seriously though! Also, when I read your answers and you said you wanted a China Buffet...my mind went straight to imagining a Chinese Fast Food restaurant in your dining room lol! I'd basically be in your house all the time.
