Fun get to know you questions - Page 2  

post #21 of 40
Whats your favorite fast food place? Is Olive Garden considered fast food? If so...then, yep.

Whats your favorite restaurant? a local Japanese restaurant that serves the most AMAZING chicken & shrimp teriyaki. Oh, I'm starving.

Whats your favorite flower? sunflowers and red roses.

Whats your favorite food? shrimp (prepared any way except scampi), thin-crust New Haven style pizza, pasta, Mexican, Japanese...I'm an equal oppotunity eater.

Whats your favorite color? pink.

How did you find MDC? I've been a subscriber to the magazine since my first pregnancy (almost 5 years ago!)

Do you cloth diaper or plan to? With DS, I didn't. But I am totally open to CD'ing this time around.

Do you have other children? How many? We have one amazing DS, age 3.5.

How many children do you want? As many as my body can handle.

Name one thing you do to help the environment. I am a rabid recycler and I love those cloth grocery bags.

What is one thing you do that you know is bad for you or the environment but you just cannot give up? I'll agree with a PP - we use disposable diapers.

Do you work? What do you Do? I am currently on hiatus from my job as a school psychologist (I worked with young kids manifesting emotional, behavioral, and academic issues)while my kids are young.

Name 2 healthy foods you ate today? organic eggs, chicken noodle soup made from scratch.

Name 1 unhealthy food you ate today? Actually, I was REALLY good (which is more than I can say for yesterday when I ate about 50 cookies.)

Body wash or bar soap? bar soap.

What brand of soap is currently in your shower? We usually use Irish Spring.

What color is your toothbrush? Pink. Aww yeah.

What kind of toothpaste do you currently use? Crest whitening with Scope. Holy minty fresh.

Coffee or Tea? Neither, thanks. I get too jittery.

Would you rather live in the forest, by the Ocean ,in the Mountains? Or the Desert (does anyone really want to live there)? Well, I guess I have the best of all worlds (with the exception of the desert.) I live along a large river and our property borders a state forest. We have a beautiful mountain view out our back windows. We LOVE it here!

Favorite wild animal? Ummm...I guess horses.

Dog or Cat person? Neither. We used to have a cat but he was completely mean to my son and destructive, so we had to give him to a relative.

How many pets do you have? None.

How many States have you lived in? Or Countries? Only lived in one state (CT.)

Do you Blog? If you do share your blog addy: I used to. Will probably start a new blog for my out-of-state relatives to keep up to date with the pregnancy.

Last question do you have a gender preference on the new baby? To be completely honest (and I REALLY mean it) we really don't care. I have always wanted a boy...and we got a great one on our first try. I would love to give him a little brother because I think the dynamic of two brothers is really cute. However, I am a total girly-girl and would love to dress up a little girl in pink and have tea parties all day long.
