Husband survey

1. Where did you meet? At a bar, I had just (like that day) been thrown out of my bf's house, the day before my bday while he left town to visit another girl. Thru tears, my gf took me dancing. I saw him across the room and thought he was hot. Turned out he had the same name as my hours-long ex. weird huh? I guess a rebound that ended up good 9 years later.

2. How long did you date b/f you were married? We dated off and on for 9 years. Every 3 years we found each other and finally decided we were meant to be a couple forever.

3. What does he do that surprises you? We are signing him up for modeling gigs when he returns into town.

4. What is your favorite quality of his? His character. He is the most moral, stand up guy you will ever meet. He is a natural peace maker. He does not argue, or fight with me. He talks things thru and is always making sure I am happy. (I HONESTLY HAD TO KEEP WHAT THE PREVIOUS WOMAN ANSWERED, BC DESCRIBES MK TO A "T")

5. What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes are a beautiful, caramel brown color, and his face has a great sculpture to it. He has the best body of his life right now.

6. Does he have a nickname for you? Gorgeous, Beautiful, K

7. What are his favorite foods? He loves pasta, and really eats about anything

8. When and where was your first kiss? It has been so long ago, I can't remember the first kiss. I know I was nervous bc of the situation I met him in, but he was so adorable!

9. What do you like to do together? We are together all the time when not working. He loves doing errands with me, enjoys all my activity choices, we now have a dog to do stuff with, and he is just so laid back anything goes.

Thursday Thunks

1. What kind of dryer sheets do you use? Bounce, regular scent

2. How many times a week do you eat out/order in? It wasn't very often, less than once a week some times, but hunny comes home from Iraq on Sunday, and it could change. Altho he likes me cooking, so we will see.

3. What did you do the night of your high school graduation? There was an overnight party at a local activity center. We were dropped off after 7pm and picked up at 6am. It was food, games, sports, prizes, you name it. All from the school, but think parent's had to pay for me to go. Honest, clean, safe fun for us.

4. So Octomom is rumored to have been offered a million bucks to do a porno. Would you do it for a million?

YES! If they want my plus body, bring it on.

5. If your child was born with an extra finger or toe, would you have it surgically removed? If it functioned I might, otherwise no. As long as removing it is as safe as keeping it, the dr can decide. Toes matter less to me than an odd shaped hand.

6. What was the last movie you saw? At theaters was Mall Cop, at home was Sybil. I have never seen it.

7. I wanna buy you a dozen roses, what color should they be? I say pick the prettiest ones you see. I was a florist for a year or so, and think that if it draws your attention, the petals look fresh then pick it. Color doesn't matter to me. I know there are colors for reasons, but hey roses smell great, cheer people up and show you love that person just for spending a small fortune on them lol

8. You are walking across the street, you are not quite half way when a speeding car comes... you have to run to get out of its way, which direction do you run? I keep running straight, bc turning around takes more time. Wait if it is in the far lane and I am not to it yet, then I will just wait for it.

9. Tell us about a time when you were invited over somewhere and had the most awful time. I was on a date with a new guy. I had met him once before out but he said we could watch a movie. I went over there, his roommate was out, I can't remember the movie, the conversation was kinda blah, it got late and he asked me to stay over. I did and had sex with him, but I didn't want to, wasn't attracted to him, thought I could say no and leave anyway but he guilt tripped me. I struggle with saying no and meaning it, so wrapped up a crappy date with crappy sex in a too small bed. Don't even remember his name oops

10. You open your front door, and there is a box with a puppy in it... what do you do? Well I won't close the door and leave it. Who answered that way? I would bring it in, check it out, see if it is healthy. Keep it for the night and then list on craigslist and hope for a good home. If back in St. Louis I would keep it probably but not reasonable here.

Wednesday Weirdness #44

1.) You're on a trip taking a tour through the jungle. You have a backpack with some food, some first aid supplies, a pocket knife, a flashlight and a couple bottles of water. Some how, you get separated from your group. By night fall you haven't found your group and haven't heard them looking for you. How long do you think you would be able to survive on your own? A couple of days. I can survive on bare calorie intake from the food, I won't need first aid bc I don't plan on being a risk taker, I can collect rain water in the bottle after I drink one from a big leaf. I will just stay where I am for 2 days, and hope nothing bites me. Hopefully the group will follow the same trail to where I was left at. While I am waiting I will learn to make a fire, if not too wet and use the smoke to show where I am from the air. Boredom and itching would be the biggest thing, and not over using the flashlight battery when it is scary and dark.

2.) Do you think it's okay to lie to spare someone's feelings? Why? Yes, I do it with one guy. It turns out his brother has meanly told him the things I think. It doesn't change his mental problems and only makes him feel bad. Sparing his feelings makes him happier and my friends tend to just let things go about him too.

3.) If a talking Krista doll were made, what are THREE phrases it would say? You've got to be kidding me! I love you! Yeah

4.) If the super power to be able to read minds at your own will were possible, do you think it would be... cool and helpful, intrusive and wrong, manipulative or maddening? Explain why you would or wouldn't want to be able to read anyone's mind at your own will.
I think it would need to be controlled. Reading everyone's mind would be too much overload, and some thoughts of people should truly be private. If we wanted people to know what we think of them, we would say it out loud. BUT it would be nice to know if people are lying about liking you, are really going to call, and were really just "too busy at work" to call me in weeks.

5.) Drunk confessions, are they the things people can't bring themselves to say sober or just crazy ramblings of an influenced and intoxicated mind?
I am not sure, but the last woman who did it ruined our entire friendship. She was annoying, over reacting, whiney and wrong for flirting with a man at a bar behind her husband's back - While he is fighting a war in Iraq. So there, she can find this blog and hear what she wanted to hear all along. I tried to be to the point, in the nicest way and say that her marriage is not my concern. Drunk and repeated herself over and over and made me wait 25 minutes to call my husband bc she had guilt issues. Never saw her again after that and lost all her drunk bar friends at the same time. Oh well 5 girls out of my life that were never meant to be there in the first place.

6.) What brings out the worst in you? Being unmedicated

7.) Do you think long distance relationships work? Have you ever been in one before?
I hope so, bc I have been separated from my husband in Iraq for 15 months and our relationship is great. Altho I did have a 3 year relationship where the guy joined the Navy and moved away. That one did not last, bc the absence made me realize how bad he was for me. I think age, maturity, length of relationship all play the part in whether it works or not. I do believe that 80% of the 18/19 yr old girls who married their guys bc of Iraq will not make it "til death do us part"

I Want Wednesday

Exercise is good for you. Sleep is good for you. Having a spiritual path to walk on is good for you. A triple scoop chocolate ice cream cone is NOT good for you. Neither is skipping work/school to sleep.This weeks question is: What do you want to be good for you?

I really want to believe that dark chocolate that is higher than 60% cocoa is good enough for me that I can justify to eat it. I am pretty convinced.

TMI Tuesday #175

1. What do find is the most exciting part of a new sexual encounter? Learning the person's body, hoping it is a good lesson
2. Do you have "a most exciting part of a sexual encounter" with a usual partner? I guess
3. How open and honest are you about your life with someone you just met? Not very open but try not to lie either
4. How open and honest are you about your life with someone you work with? Not very much, the general stories but nothing too dramatic
5. How open and honest are you about your life with a casual acquaintance who lives in your neighborhood (or the parent a your child's friend or...)? Not at all, just the basics of every day life and about the person they know...a common neighbor, a common friend, just harmless gossip. Nothing mean about anyone or gossip that could hurt a person
Bonus (as in optional): Define a "normal" as in "normal relationship" or "normal sex life"
Normal is something that is repetitive between a couple. The "usual" or common thing. For most people ideas, that might seem to be sex a few times a week, nothing extreme or too kinky, no extra partners, no cheating, no violence or verbal abuse, showing love to others like holding hands on public or hugging each other.

Writing survey

1. When you write a note to a friend, do you tend to write in cursive or manuscript? Cursive, but I honestly tend to mix it

2. Think back to grade school when you learned how to write: which manuscript letter gave you the most trouble? Capital J and I

3. Did you find cursive easier than manuscript? Cursive is faster, but I can read almost anyone's print but their cursive can be hard to read...so much be a little harder for some

4. How do you type on a computer: the four-finger “professional” method, the “hunt and peck” method, or something in between? I can do all the fingers correctly and up to about 45 wpm
