I have a fabulous group of girlfriends whom I met online on a pregnancy board for September 2001 babies, and every spring we have a no husbands/no kids weekend, and whenever we can squeeze another one in we do that as well. I'm going up to Boston/Salem for a girls weekend at the end of this month-I'm so excited! My DH is so wonderful and so supportive, I am going to be gone on a Friday have no idea what to do with the kdis and he told me not to worry about it, he'll take care of everything.
If I am not doing that and I get some time to myself, alone, I like to shop shop shop! Get a massage, get a pedicure.... and I am *always* reading! I love to bake as well..and of course computer time!

This is fun I'll play too

>what you do for a living

I'm a pediatric nurse


>how many kids you have and why

I have two because we wanted two (dh is now "fixed" )

>what breed dog you have and how many cats
Dog #1 Sadie 11 years old German Shepard/Golden retriever mix - a rescue (and yep, she loves us best )
Dog #2 Buddy 3 years old St. Bernard/Cocker Spaniel Mix (yes, you read that right..and the spaniel was the mom ) a pound puppy
Dog #3 Paulie 2 years old Toy Poodle, a rescue

Cat #1 Alexis 9 years old Tortoise shell, a pound kitty
Cat #2 Tux 3 year old tuxedo cat (what'd you expect? lol) a rescue
Cat #3 Annie 1 year old calico another pound kitty

Bird #1 and #2 are Cockateils, Speckles and Sunshine, about 6 months old. We got them from a relative whose daughter grew tired of them and my girls had been begging for birds (like they don't have enough fur around, they need feathers too...)




>what you drive
A Saturn L sedan

>how many times you go to WDW and how much you spend
I think answering this one could get me thrown off here we only go about once a decade I went as a child in 1976 and 1984, and with DH in 1994 and 2003. In '94 we were on a serious budget and spent only $1K total. In '03 we were on an all-out splurge for our 10th anniversary and spent about 5K. We're hoping to end our "once a decade" thing and go back sooner. The girls loved it and I want to go back too. I think about 1K per person would be about right. Maybe less if we were careful...

>what do you do on your day off
play with my kids either at home or take them to the park, zoo, etc, also laundry, shopping, cleaning, scrapbooking, internet surfing, photography, and I just started horseback riding lessons last week. I've always wanted to do that

>what is your favorite kind of cookie
White chocolate macadamia nut

>do you lick or bite your ice cream? and do you lick your cone up or around?
lick for sure. Biting kills my teeth. I mostly lick around, but I will lick up if it's dripping. Omgosh, that sounds awful...

1. I am a SAHM with a very part-time at-home job that is Disney related. !

2. Two kids.... DD9 and DS6. Why? Child number was was meticulously planned and conceived on first attempt (see my tag). Child number two was a combination of condom failure and God's will.... he knew we were ready for #2 before we were. And since we have every kind they make now.... why keep trying?

3. No dogs (although DS and DH would like one, I know who would end up taking care of it!!... plus we travel too often). One black cat named Olivia. Found her as a stray hanging around church about three years ago. She is a doll!

4. Myself.... Dark charcoal gray 2002 Grand Voyager/Caravan.
DH...... black Saab 9-3 convertible.

5. Went to WDW in 1973 and 1983 with parents. Again in 1992 on honeymoon and then 2002 and 2004 with DH and children. Currently planning late 2005 or early 2006 trip.

6. Like the other SAHM's posted.... don't really have "day off" but if I have spare time I Dis, scrapbook, and read.

7. Tie between Pepperidge Farm Mint Milanos and my MIL's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

8. I lick around, both soft serve and hard ice cream.... DD and I always prefer a cone, but DH and DS prefer cup.................P

1. SAHM...but now that my youngest is going to school a few hours a day, I have been using my Computer Science degree to work with my graphic designer friend...she designs web pages and I code them. I also just started acting as the general contractor for the house we are starting to build...that will keep me plenty busy!

2. Two DD's. Why? Because we wanted them, and two is the perfect number for us.

3. I have one old sheltie named Mason and recently a black cat for my oldest DD named KoKo.

4. I drive an Expedition.

5. We only go to WDW every 3 or 4 years, and I have no idea how much we spend. Just book a moderate usually and go! Now ask me how many times I go to Vegas a year

6. Days off...hang out with family and friends, go to movies, work out, go shopping, do crafts with DD's, read, etc. etc.

7. Love gooey chocolate chip cookies...but rarely eat them.
