1. I'm French
2. I'm Deathly afraid of Crickets *just the thought of them make my skin crawl*
3. I don't like Santa. Yep I said it, he creeps me out. I refuse to even go near a mall santa. (dh brings the kids lol)
4. I eat all my meals in sections, cause I'm weird like that ;) So i eat all the meat then the veggies and then the other side dish. I never pick at all of them at the same time.
5. I don't touch raw meat EVER. I think it's gross and I refuse to do it. Hubby touches anything raw for me (for cooking and packaging)

The most frequent one is "Do they have the same father?" Purely because I think that's rude to ask, I often answer, "I'm not sure."

idie!! this is hillarious! people used to ask me all the time if my boys were twins, because they were so close in age... while it's an innocent question (and not nearly as rude as the one they ask you), it still got on my nerves. The one that I always thought was rude was when people would look at me and my say "wow, you've got your hands full!" Again, I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it, but I don't think they realized it came across as "Wow, you sure have taken on more than you can handle"... as though I were an incompetent mother. I think sometimes people just don't think about what they say, but they want to say something that will connect with you. Weird.
 
Love these kinds of threads...so fun!

1. I hate mushrooms...canned or fresh or sauteed or in anything at all. Bleh!
2. I'm double-jointed. It freaks my brothers out and I like to torture them.
3. I have never been on an airplane.
4. My appendix burst while on my senior grad trip to Disneyland. Not fun.
5. I like to freeze any candy that I eat...especially Reese's PB Cups. Gotta be frozen.
 
I thought of another after seeing Laura's thread about nail polish....I've only once ever had a manicure in my life - in high school when I got the fake tip things - and never have had a pedi. And never had a massage either.
 
I get the "wow you have your hands full" thing all the time and I hate it. I'm like, dude - I didn't have 5 kids on accident!! I got this.

I have a hard time with these and feel like I repeat myself too, but here goes:

  1. I also have never had a professional manicure, pedicure, or massage.
  2. I was a serious heavy-duty bookworm from age 6 until college-ish, but hardly read at all anymore. I think the last time I read an actual book was in 1998. :blush
  3. I'm cross-dominant - left-handed for things requiring precision, right-handed for things requiring strength.
  4. I have a degree in electrical engineering, but it was back in the days when personal computers were still a novelty. I hated computers when I was in college. Now I'm super-excited about my new computer due to arrive this week! :woot
  5. I had never been in a commercial airplane until I flew to a job interview after graduating college. I got the job, which required heavy travel, and made round-trip flights to various parts of the US (and a few to Canada) about every 3-6 weeks for the next four years.
 
Claudio... sorry I nearly fell off my chair... with like why would anyone want to tell everyone they wear socks and thongs around their house in winter...

:thinking2

And then it dawned on me you were talking about something you wear on your feet NOT a little further up your body!
 
Hi! I'm *very* new here so I figured this is a fun way to get to know *a little* about me. :)

1. I'm OCD when it comes to cleaning and organizing my house. (The husband and kids can't stand that.)
2. I love the colors pink, purple, black and blue. (Just NOT all at the same time).
3. I'm kinda obsessed with owls at the moment.
4. I pretty much take "Lappy" (my laptop) with me wherever I go - whether I'm using it or not - just knowing it's with me makes me feel secure. (I know weird!)
5. On the RARE occasion when I'm not online scrapping or chatting it up on FB, I'm watching Netflix with the family. (We are currently obsessing over The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars and Switched At Birth).
 
These are so fun!

1. I went through infertility for many years before having my 2 precious boys. So at meet-the-teacher nights, I'm the same age as some of the grandmothers...46.

2. I love mayonnaise but hate kraft salad dressing (they are *not* the same thing).

3. I make the best from-scratch ceasar salad dressing.

4. I am half Ukrainian, but don't speak the language. I do however cook some of the dishes (najinka, perohi, kutya, Holubtsi, among others).

5. I am learning how to knit.

4. I've turned just about every hobby I've ever had into a job thanks to my "there must be a way to make money from this" attitude. Almost surprised I'm not a hooker.

I laughed out loud at this one an my 8 year old asked what was so funny.
 
These are all great, I love reading about everyone :)

1. Furthest I ever traveled was India (Bangalore) - and it was an experience I will never forget. I hope to one day have enough money so that my family can experience the same thing.
2. I would be the crazy cat lady if I weren't married with a family. My husband limits me to three.
3. I have a horrible habit of picking my cuticles, so you will often see me with band-aids on my digits.
4. I have run several 5Ks - but want to run a 10K this year (if my injuries ever heal)
5. I love to cuddle my kids and they often fight over who gets to cuddle with me before bed.
 
Good lord...I am boring lol...5 things is gonna be a stretch and 4 will probably be the same things I wrote the last time we did a thread like this :giggle.....

1. I am PAINFULLY shy in "real life".
2. I recently had to undergo some neurological and IQ tests and it turns out that I am ridiculously smart with major concentration problems.
3. Along with being shy I am also usually really modest...so referring to myself as "ridiculously smart" makes me feel like really weird and rude.
4. In high school I was a state level officer in a service organization for girls...my office was Grand Scrapbooks.
5. When I was little clowns and old people totally freaked me out....Tammy Faye Baker scared the living you know what out of me.
 
Wow! A kool idea to dig out some facts abt your own self. So here goes my turn ...

1. I'm not a black-white-person cos I dun hv a favourite at all. I like anything & everything. At first, ie. I guess this is due to the fact that I had the Capricorn-tail and Aquarius-head. Oh wait ... I do have a fav color ... wait ... make tat fav colors - black, white, blue, red, purple, green ... wait, those are the colors of the rainbows. Ok ... my fav colors are the rainbow colors. :P

2. I'm a Tigress at home but a Mouse at work.

3. According to one of my class teachers' quote in my report book "Agnes has a strong loud voice." And it has been my "excuse" for not & unable to whisper properly.

4. I have a few hobbies & ideas which I dreamed of turning into a career. But it's just a dream cos it has yet to come true. Or rather I dun hv the guts to act on it.

5. Last but not least, I dun regret marrying & divorcing at a young age (22 & 27 respectively). Cos I found myself and learned to live life in the NOW. I had learned to laugh at myself which is the turning point. Cos I no longer fear anything (well, except myself :P). If destiny & fate has another man in store for me, then good. O'wise I'm fine as it is cos I hv my romantic novels to keep my accompany. Yes, I am a loner by choice. And that resulted in my not knowing how to do small-talk. Or is it cos I dunno how to small-talk that I decided to be a loner? Hmmm ...
