Getting to Know You...

[quote] Ummm, let's see, random fact about me. Gee, there's so many. Oh! I know. It's a proven fact that I can't go a day without a cup of coffee. [/quote]

Velma, I'm the exact same way! Do you like Nestle Coffee Mates? I've recently become addicted to them. My favorite flavor is Vanilla Caramel.

It's cool to learn all this stuff about you guys! You're all so interesting! Hmm, what to say about little ol' me...

I've been married since December 22nd of last year, and I love it! It's not always perfect, but it's a humbling learning experience, moving away from home and waking up to the same man everyday. My husband is really my best friend, and we have a lot in common, but not everything. Examples?

I'm a rigid planner, he flies by the seat of his pants.
He loves video games, I can't stand them (except Rock Band, that's a fun game).
I'm an old-fashioned, 3 meals a day girl, and he'll skip breakfast and lunch no sweat. I don't know how he does it! I can't function without breakfast!
I have a sweet tooth, he has a savory tooth. It's funny... he doesn't care for ice cream at all in general, but he loves Coldstone Creamery! Hee!

I'm glad we don't have every little thing in common, because think of how boring that would be! Besides, he makes me loosen up and laugh at stuff, and he tolerates all my faults and idiosyncrasies, and I love him for that.

Other stuff about me?

I'm ashamed to say I love obnoxious, suburban restaurants like Applebee's and Olive Garden. I don't, however, eat fast food, 'cause I once worked at McDonald's, and it just has a negative association with me. The less said, the better. Plus, that stuff is just horrible for you anyway.

I love the library! I'm a huge geek, and I don't care who knows! It's so calming and relaxing, and I love browsing the stacks.

I'm a college dropout, but I'd like to go back one day as soon as I know what to do with my life.

Before someone asks, I don't want kids. Oh, nothing against them really, it's just that they're a lifelong responsibility and I don't think I'm up to the task. Everyone's not good at parenting, unfortunately. We might get a dog someday, though!

Wow, that's cool. Married life, I wouldn't expect it to be super easy. But it makes sense with what you're saying.

On the same note, I've always wanted to get married and have kids. I never wanted a professional career and still don't. I have no ambition in that and I just would love it if I could raise a family.
