Great idea for a thread danacara. I've enjoyed reading about everyone!

I work as an office manager for a department at a community college.
I have one daughter, 13. Only one because she was so great, I knew no other kids could compete!
I've had many dogs over the years but I'm now currently dogless. We just got out of a rental property and bought a house so dd is lobbying for another dog.
On my day off, I putter around the house, read, run errands, run my kid around, and I'm sad to admit--I'm still unpacking after 3 months!
I just got a brand spanking new PT Cruiser and I LOVE it!
We try to go to either DL or WDW once a year. I'm planning a trip to WDW in February. I honestly have no idea how much I spend. I pay as much as possible before we leave and go for the discounts. It's easier if I don't give dh a total figure!
My favorite cookie are my grandma's Hermits. It's a raisin cookie.
I lick my ice cream up from the cone

For a Living-- I work in Transportation for a Fortune 100 Forest Products Co.

Kids-- 1 DD, originally wanted at least 2 but DD was born with a cleft palate and has had 5 surgeries before she was 7. I don't want to go through that again.

Pets-- No dog, 1 cat mixed breed that doesn't lives with Grandma now. He didn't adjust to moving to a new house and you can guess the rest of the story

Cars-- Me a '97 Explorer with a Princess Minnie topper, DH a '99 Grand Prix

Trips to WDW-- We have been 3 times since 2000-- 2 cruises on DCL-- bought into DVC so the out of pocket $ is not as bad

Day off-- What's that? When I am not at my paying job I have to be a wife and mother. I do enjoy reading, shopping, gardening, lying by the pool

Cookie-- peanut butter or 3 c's

ice cream- usually get a cup but with a cone always lick and up.

Fave cookie-choco chip


I like to savor waffle cones with choco chip icecream.

Web Manager for a large company

I have one daughter (6 yrs old). What with the divorce and all, I figured I'd hold off on more kids til I find someone else

No pets (hard enough to keep up with my daughter)

I drive a Nissan Pathfinder

Believe it or not, I haven't been to WDW since the 70s. My daughter and I did go on the Disney Magic for a week this May though

On days off, I usually take my daughter to one of the Smithsonian museums.

Favorite cookie... hrmm... so many to choose from... peanut butter.

As for ice cream, bite/lick, who cares? As long as I get ice cream!

Right now I'm a law clerk...hopefully will be an attorney after I get my bar results at the end of this month!

We have one DS, Colin, who is 14 months. We would like to have one or two more in the future.

We have a 5 year old Yorkie, Maggie, and a 4 year old Corgi, Milo.

I drive a silver, 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Since our honeymoon in 2000, we were lucky enough to go to WDW each year except for this year. We decided not to go this year since DS is still so young. Our next trip will be December 2005. In addition to the room and tickets, we usually try to bring $1000 spending money since we love to eat! I'm sure that amount will increase now with DS.

Days off are usually spent cleaning, shopping (both grocery and for fun), hanging out with DS and DH, and now, LSU football games!

Chips Ahoy chocolate chunk!

I generally like my ice cream. Not sure which direction.

I want to join in!

And I'm lazy so I'll copy & paste:

what breed dog you have and how many cats--no pets. not an animal lover, sorry!

[ilovepcot]

What you do for a living? Absolutely nothing! (Stained glass for fun.)

How many kids do you have and why? 1 daughter....it's all I wanted.

What breed dog do you have and how many cats? Bought 2 Toy Poodles this very week! SCARLETT, red female and SPIDER, black male. Precious babies!!!!!

What do you drive? Pontiac Grand Prix (me) Vintage Corvette (DH)

How many times do you go to WDW and how much do you spend? We frequently take day trips to either the parks or resorts on week-ends and holidays. Way too many to remember! Don't usually spend more than $200-$300 because we don't stay overnight most times.

What do you do on your day off? Well, I have 7 each and every week, so I use DH's days off to plan fun things. We like to eat out, shop and visit a place on WDW property! DH enjoys having cook-outs for large crowds and I enjoy cooking something exotic for small dinner parties. We like both ends of the spectrum!

What is your favorite kind of cookie? Anything with lots of chocolate and nuts!

Do you lick or bite your ice cream? And do you lick your cone up or around? I do it all!

 

[ShuisFan584]

what you do for a living?

Right now I'm a junior in college majoring in math, and working part-time at Barnes and Noble cafe (and don't argue with me because it's not my fault we don't take Starbucks cards! )

how many kids you have and why?

I have no kids right now because I'm only 20, not married and still in school, so that's not gonna happen for another few years.

what breed dog you have and how many cats?

I have a golden retriever named Misty who is 10 1/2 years old. I don't have any cats because pretty much everyone in the family is allergic to them.

what you drive?

I drive a blueish green 1994 Honda Accord, which hopefully will be replaced in another year.

how many times you go to WDW and how much you spend?

I went 5 times with my family (last time was in August 2001) and 2 times with my softball team. I have no idea how much we spent because my parents paid for it all.

waht do you do on your day off

I always spend time with my boyfriend or friends. If it's summertime, we might go down the shore. Otherwise, we might go to the movies, out to eat, or to play pool...nothing too exciting.

what is your favorite kind of cookie

Chocolate chip, especially if they're warm.

do you lick or bite your ice cream? and do you lick your cone up or around?

I always lick my ice cream, biting hurts my teeth. And I don't usually eat my ice cream on a cone.

3. No dogs. One black cat named Woody (not for Toy Story- named for President Woodrow Wilson).

4. 2004 Pontiac Vibe. Love it!!

5. I've been six times, but this is the first time with both DH and DD. We are planning approx $1200 for three days/four nights this November. We try to go cheap!

6. Day off? I don't believe I know what that is.

7. Homemade sugar cookies.

8. Lick- from the top.
