I used to post these with my CT on the reg, but I thought it would be fun with the whole group.

DYK? = Did you know? And then you share random bits of personal trivia in the form of questions. Like...

DYK that I just watched all the Twilight movies last week except for the one in the theater?

DYK I felt pretty dorky watching them by myself at home like some sort of weirdo?
DYK my husband has been picking on me non-stop and calling me a "Twi-hard"?

DYK his response when I asked if he wanted to watch them was "You're kidding, right?"

DYK I wasn't sure if that was annoyance or EXCITEMENT?

DYK it turned out to be annoyance?

DYK I read the books, they were entertaining enough, and I've been curious what all the fuss is about with the movies?

DYK I still think I'm missing something? LOL

DYK I was distracted by how horrible of an actress Kristen Stewart is the whole time?

DYK she had just one facial expression and a completely monotone delivery?

DYK it was all I could focus on?
 
DYK I am up still at 12:43 and I am going to seriously pay for it in the morning?

DYK that although I am exhausted I am too afraid to go to sleep because as sure as I get comfy the little peanut is going to wake up and demand a bottle?

DYK that I am so excited about just selling one of my lenses and now I can finally upgrade my iPad?

DYK that I have been home all day with a sick kid and I am just praying the rest of us don't get it?

DYK that being woke up in the middle of the night by your oldest child telling you that child number 3 is throwing up in the hallway is not exactly how you want to wake up?

DYK that I am now off to try to get some sleep?
 
DYK I totally agree with Sara on the Kristen Stewart thing?

DYK I read all the books and saw all the movies and would totally watch them again even though they were terrible?

DYK I was the first one at the theater for the midnight premiere (which was actually at 10:00) at my theater? Hours in advance?

DYK I just got in for the night, took the dog out, and now she's whining because she wants to play?

DYK Monday is my day off, and I can't wait to sleep until noon?
 
DYK it was Peppermint who commented on twilight not sara lol
DYK im going to the cinema to watch it on wednesday
DYK i hate going to the cinema i fall asleep!
DYK i think you are mad taking the dog for a walk at that hour
DYK i went to bed at 9.30 last night and overslept this morning my husbnad woke me at 7am to say we all slept through the alarm and we should of been awake 2 hours earlier
DYK i have my scrapping mojo back
 
DYK I wanna sleep in til noon?

DYK I go back to work today after 9 days off?

DYK I really am not looking forward to that?

DYK I'm glad I have Friday off though to spend the day with my girls doing some outlet shopping?

DYK? I also get made fun of for watching Twilight?
DYK? I made pecan pie bars yesterday and they are now almost gone already. They are gooood.
DYK? I have to work today and I don't want to?
DYK? That is the story of life for me everyday though.
DYK? My kids want to color christmas coloring books, cut the pictures out, and hang them all over our tree since they'll make gorgeous ornaments? Yikes.

DYK that I am obsessed with the 90s TV show 'Felicity?'
DYK that I had never seen a single episode until 2 or 3 weeks ago?
DYK that I totally feel like I'm reliving my collegehood since it took place the exact same 4 years that I went to college?
DYK that Felicity (Keri Russell) is the much curlier-headed and skinny version of me at that age (and at this age for that matter)?
DYK that during the first season, I was 1000% Team Noel (Scott Foley) and could not understand why she cared at all for Ben?
DYK that I'm so shallow that once Ben (Scott Speedman) got a haircut in season 1 that I liked his character much better?
DYK that now that I'm almost done with season 2 that I have totally switched teams and am now 1000% Team Ben?
DYK that it's possible to be 32 11/12 years old and fall in love with fictional 19 and 20 year old men?
DYK that I monopolize the TV every night once I get Miss Monkey to bed and watch 3 or 4 eps of 'Felicity' while I scrap?
DYK that the theme song is pretty much the best theme song in the history of theme songs with its wordless funky 'if Alanis and Enya had a muscial baby, this would be it' vibe?
DYK that I realize I only have 2 seasons left and I'm kinda sad abt it?
DYK that makes me a superbig mega dork for being sad abt pretend people at a pretend college on a TV show?
DYK that I'm cool with that?
 
DYK I love these threads?

DYK I'm totally going to get Peppermint a Twilight poster for her office space but I don't know if she's team Edward or Team Jacob?

DYK when I type words I use regularly, like "gop", that my browser tries to autocorrect me?

DYK my kitties, whom I love dearly, are on my last nerve because they are terrorizing my Christmas tree?

DYK that cinnamon scented pinecones do NOT deter said cats from climbing said tree, despite friendly advice that scattering them around the base of the tree would do so?

DYK I will not let said kitty terrorizing mess with my holiday or kitty love?

DYK I'm noshing on peanut butter m+ms? The holiday colored red and green ones?

DYK I'm totally convinced that the seasonal colored m+ms taste better than the regular ones?
 
DYK I just started Season 1 of Dexter the other day and I'm on episode 9?

DYK I'm kicking myself for not starting Dexter sooner?

DYK I agree with everyone who thinks Kristin Stewart is a horrible actor?

DYK I had a waitress once who I called Belle the whole time because she had NO personality, spoke in a monotone voice, and I embarrassed my boys so bad by doing it?

DYK I drove to Los Angeles today just to go to a Vera Bradley store?

DYK I spent too much money at said Vera Bradley store?

DYK that dh humoured me and watched the Twilight movies with me without complaint?
DYK that we both couldn't figure out what all the hype was about?
DYK that I'm a Game of Thrones fan and looking forward to season 3?
DYK that although I graduated with a perfect GPA from uni, I still can't explain math strategies to a grade-fiver without having a meltdown somewhere in the mix (him or me, doesn't really matter)?
DYK that I'm already at the stage where my oldest (he's 9) thinks I don't know anything?

DYK that the travel time from Boston to HNL is a whopping 13 hours?

DYK that I just found out that the cost of our rental car is going to be another $700?
DYK that I am going to have to take at least one photo gig while I'm out there on vacation just to put a dent in our growing bill pile for this trip?

DYK that I don't care one bit about the money because I just can't wait to hug my Dad and watch him play with my daughter and rub my belly and eat the most amazing dinner at my aunt's house on Christmas Eve and listen to the Muppets and Bing Crosby on the car ride home and look at all the lights and wake up Christmas morning in my childhood home (I'm gettin all misty just thinking about it)? :)
 
DYK that I am currently soaking in my new garden bathtub, while on my iPad, drinking boxed wine, and I couldn't be happier?

DYK that I like the water to be so hot that my skin looks like a lobster?

DYK that I cannot stand Kristen Stewart OR Rob Pattinson, and think the movies are completely worthless, with the exception of the hotness of Taylor Lautner?

DYK that I feel like a pedophile talking about the hotness of Taylor Lautner since my daughter likes to watch the movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl, and he was like 12 in that movie?

DYK that we have annual passes to Disneyland because it is our family happy place, and we don't even live in Southern California?

DYK that my current TV obsession is Freaks and Geeks? And that it's freaking HILARIOUS!?

DYK that I just might have to start watching Felicity after it's over?

DYK that I saw Skyfall this weekend?

DYK that the only way I know what movies are out is by reading threads here at TLP?

DYK that took me all day to accomplish?

DYK that kind of makes me feel like super woman?

DYK my baby is growing up way too fast? (He's 3 weeks today!)
 
Dyk I'm still in bed
Dyk if I don't go get Rhys up he will be running late
Dyk if he runs late he has no breakfast
Dykif he has no breakfast it means he has to buy some on way and that costs me
Dyk I'm now thinking where is my purse to give him some money
Dyk I'm getting out of bed now
 
DYK it's 2am and I don't have plans to sleep any time soon?

DYK that my hubby used all the coffee and didn't leave any for me in the pot?

DYK that really ticks me off?
