[salmon2017]

I think we almost have the full contingent of September 2017 moms here now, so let's have some fun this Friday!

Four random questions:

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night?

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own?

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say?

[saltandvinegar]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night? Nope nope nope. Not a chance. I have zero musical abilities.

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own? Probably somewhere between 20-25 if you include boots & flip flops. But I only wear a few regularly.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? I lived in TX for a year and LOVED it. But I moved home to be with DH. Sometimes I still wonder how things would have worked out if I had stayed.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: Needs sleep to function appropriately. I'm sure I have many but that one seems fitting for today anyway.

[salmon2017]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night? Shania Twain - Any Man of Mine

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own? 15 ish? 2 pairs boots, 2 pairs runners, 2 pairs flats, 6 pairs heels, 2 pairs converse/keds . . . and probably a couple I am forgetting.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? Moved to Texas to live with DH having known him for about 6 weeks.

[CK1]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night?
Hmm I don't think I'd ever actually do karaoke because I'm a chicken but I'll go with Love Shack because I love it and it's fun.

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own?
More than I can count but I tend to only wear a few certain/favorite pairs depending on the season.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?
It's not very crazy but I let him drag me to a punk rock show because it's one of his favorite bands and he had nobody else to go with. There was moshing and bodies being thrown around and omg never again.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
Warning: You won't like me when I'm hangry.

[doodler]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night? Probably anything, but I would have to be pretty drunk.

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own? Too many to count. I did recently give a bunch to Goodwill though.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? Not sure? I'm really not the type of person to do crazy things.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: hotheaded when pissed off

[caybeh]

1)What would you sing at Karaoke night?
I don't know, honestly.

2)How many pairs of shoes do you own?
10 or so

3)What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? When DH and I were in college (we weren't married yet), he was interning at a company 5 hours away. He was done the day after his birthday in Aug. He knew I was coming to help him move back, but I surprised him a day earlier on his birthday. I got in contact with his roommate and had his roommate come pick me up at my hotel so that I would be at their apt when DH came back from work. I opened the door for DH and the look on his face was priceless.

4)If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: hardcore people pleaser who doesn't like conflict or people upset with her.

[kellykapow]

1)What would you sing at Karaoke night?
Sweet Caroline is always a good pick. Everyone loves it and sings along, so you don't have to sound that great.

2)How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Probably 10 that I wear

3)What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?
I'm lame. I don't know if I've ever done anything that crazy for love. A couple stupid things, maybe.

4)If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: Dangerously Cheesy. Or For best results, add coffee and tacos.

[holdingouthope]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night? ~ "I will survive!" All night, every night.

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own? ~ maybe about 50? I might have a slight problem. But lately I only wear the same pair of flip flops every day. LOL

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? ~ Moved to another continent. Yep.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say? ~ "Prone to spontaneous explosions of emotion."

[meerkatmillie]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night? I'm terrified of Karaoke, I would run the other way.

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own? 25-ish? But I wear about 5. I really should donate some.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? Flew from US to Europe, stayed with DH Family in a tiny apartment. We had only known each other ~2 weeks when I booked the flight.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say? What I think: "Does not function well in temperatures less than 70 F / 21 C. Requires blankets or frequent hugs to restore core temperature." What DH thinks: "Warning: Intermittently agitated by random triggers."

[wells2010]

Four random questions:

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night?
Baby Got Back

I used to sell shoes and I had probably about 200 pairs at one time (mostly sneakers). Now, I probably have about 20 or so. I generally only probably wear about 5.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?
that's a tough one. In college I was in a LDR and basically spent all my extra money going back and forth to see him.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
I'm extremely blunt, but I mean well!

[savigirl]

1. I don't sing karaoke in real life,but if I was drunk enough it'd probably be little mermaid "look at this stuff" or a multitude of other Disney songs.

Non Disney something g by Miranda Lambert. I like country music best.

2. Best guess about 50-60. I wear the same 3-4 most often each season.

3. Married MH who was a wild child and already had two children to two differ t women.

Remind me, are you our new Zealand friend? Otherwise where do you live that you can still wear flip flops in Jan?

[lightside]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night? The wheels on the bus- I've got that one down with extra special verses to boot.

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own? Probably 15 including sandals. 

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? Drove almost non-stop from Philly to Denver in a rental car with four complete strangers to be with H (years before we were married) on Christmas. I had a flight to Denver on Dec 23rd but got stranded during a layover due to a massive snowstorm in CO.  I could have waited in the airport indefinitely to get on another flight to Denver or stayed in Philly overnight before flying back to Boston. Four of us (all in our twenties so young and impulsive) had been next to each other in line and struck up a conversation about why we all desperately needed to get to Colorado. Before I knew it we were in rental car heading west. It was long and tense night and day on the road, and the storm was so bad that I70 was closed in Kansas and we almost ended up stranded in a high school gym before deciding to head south through Oklahoma and New Mexico instead. One of the people in the car was a soldier on active duty in Afghanistan who only had a few days of leave to spend with his family in Grand Junction, so it felt pretty cool to be part of the effort to get him home. Anyway, I'm just glad I lived to tell the tale and H turned out to be worth the effort!

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Don't ask me for a favor before I've had my coffee.

[LittleStarSweeper]

1) What would you sing at Karaoke night?
The first song that pops into my head is "Man, I Feel Like a Woman." LOL

2) How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Probably ~10 including flip-flops and boots. I'm not a shoe lover. I'd rather go around in my socks all day.

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?
Moved half-way across the country to be with him (Edit: DH). I'm a big family person, so that was pretty crazy for me. It was hard moving away from home.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
"If I'm grumpy, please feed me."

[gwapes]

[andtheheartbreakers]

3) What's the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love? MH and I met at 13 at band camp, reconnected when we were 17 even though we lived across the country from each other. I broke up with my boyfriend of 2.5 years 5 days later and dropped my life to move to his town as soon as I graduated high school.

4) If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Doesn't have an inside voice.

[euphony]

[sjohns08]

1. I've done 3- Don't Stop Believing, Gives You Hell and Before He Cheats. I want to do Think of You with DH sometime

2. Like a dozen or so

3. Got engaged after only 6 weeks of dating. Does that count? Lol. We were married 11 months after meeting and have been together 9 years on NYE

4. Warning: will bite when hungry

[Flick]

1. Caught up in you by 38 special is my song!

2. I think I have 5? Winter boots, fancy boots, flip flops, tennis shoes, and a pair of wedge heels that won't ever see daylight again.

3. I moved in with him two days after meeting. Crazy I know, but it just felt right.

4. If I'm cussing incoherently, I'm probably in a raid.

[springbeduk]

1. I cannot carry a tune at all, so karaoke has been and in the unlikely chance it ever happens again, will be limited to getting hauled up among a large group of others and attempting to just hum along whatever the lowest pitch backup bits are. Or joining in on don't stop believing because impossible not to, but staying far away from any microphone.

2. Well, I'm bad at throwing things out so I probably actually have a lot because of old mostly worn out ones. But really I wear the same pair of sneakers every single day (until and a but after they are totally worn out and then same thing with the next pair) unless it's flip flop weather and then I have 3 pairs of the same kind of Teva flip flops that I kinda rotate through. But then there are snow boots, mud boots, two pairs of probably almost 15 year old strappy sandals with heels for if I have to go to something dressy (feet are too wide for non-strappy dress shoes). And a couple pairs of even older flats. Oh and a pair of klogs I got talked into buying with my last pair of sneakers to have some variety for work, but after a couple weeks they started hurting, so ... Oh well. I had a pair of hiking boots, too .... Wonder where they are and how moldy?

3.i can't remember. Whatever it was, it was a long time ago ...

4. Always late. Or, "add approx. 30% to any time estimate I give you" or something along those lines.
