Ginny's Ask Me Anything!

[ginnyjones82]

This was started last week, and I thought I might help keep it going. Hopefully, someone else will do one later this week or next week.

So go ahead, ask me anything!!!

What is your dream vacation?

[ProfessorChaos]

How did you and your OH meet?

[gsancho]

Do you have any siblings?

[ginnyjones82]

HaHa, I posted this then fell asleep!!!

hbanana18, Dream vaca for DH and I is one of those Alaskan cruise/tours. That much time away and seeing the beauty that Alaska has to offer!!! Perfect!

bostongirl617, Like most kids, I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I love animals and the thought of working with them was great! I'm not really sure when that dream changed. I guess growing up changes plans.

ProfessorChaos, Little known fact, I was working 2 jobs and never had time to go out and meet people. So I posted a personal add on Craigslist. (this was pre-CL killer). Trust me, there are lots of nutty people out there, but my ad was specific, and I stuck to what I wanted. Finally, a month later, when I was about to pull the ad and call it a fail.... I got an email from DH. We met up at a local bar and talked for a good 4 hours!!!!

gsancho, I have 3 brothers. 2 older (45 & 43) and a younger (30). I'm not close with my older brothers, but my younger brother and I are very close.

bostongirl617, I don't know if I have just one!!! Tacos and nachos? Hibachi? I got it.... Thanksgiving!! That would have to be my fav! The turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes, and candied sweet potatoes, and OMG, now I want!!! LOL

When it comes to stuff like that, it's always happy tears!!!

[IFinTN]

What made you fall for DH? Since you said you were very specific:)

[ginnyjones82]

IFinTN, Specifically, I was seeking someone who had his own home, job, and means of transportation. In my earlier 20s, that was a very difficult thing for me to find. I decided to try and change that! I did get an email response from a guy calling me a bitch for wanting too much!

Our first date is what did it all!! Honestly, I joke with him that it was all about the boat, but really, it was his smile that first night. It was how we help that first conversation for hours. Laughing and talking came easy. I've heard that you can tell the first few minutes of a date if you're going to sleep with a guy. I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him.

Once we started dating, it was his phone call every afternoon when he knew I should be out of work and how he was the first person outside my family in the longest time that really seemed to care about me. He always holds my hand, even now still. It's become a security thing for both of us.

Your husband sounds awesome. My question is: how did you do in the in-law lottery?

[ginnyjones82]

bluefairy5, MH's step father is awesome. I call him my Tom-in-law. He's nothing but long-haired, guitar playing, grass smoking, scotch drinking awesomeness. My MIL on the other hand, I have had issues with. She is a queen bee and DH is her only son. She treats us like children and has this 'holier than thou' vibe going. I know she means well, but our personalities clash. I deal with it though. My Mom can sometimes be a pain in the ass too, so DH and I agree it kinda levels out.

What do you like to do for fun?

P.S. - Your siggy makes me want a sandwich SO MUCH.

[ginnyjones82]

In the winter, I usually enjoy being out on my day off riding on the back of a snowmobile with DH. With remodeling the new house and all, there has been no time this year. Maybe next weekend we will get out around the lake. No trail riding this year though, wouldn't want to bounce baby around yet.

In the summer, we spend weekends at camp. Nothing fancy, just a spot in an RV park, but all our friends are there and days are spent out on the lake, and evenings are spent with friends.

I also enjoy cooking with DH, seeing movies, and all that normal for fun stuff. I'm so typical!!

What is your favorite book? Favorite movie? Favorite genre of music?

[ginnyjones82]

@jimbobcooter, favorite book has always been A Snowflake in My Hand. The author worked in a NYC animal hospital working with cats. It's the kind of book the requires tissues! My all-time favorite movies are Empire Records, and anything Kevin Smith. Been my favorite movies since I was in my teens. Music I'm not too picky on. I've seen everything from Ozzy Osborne to Kelly Clarkson. Usually on my car radio is the today's pop stuff that I can sing. In my cd player currently is OAR.
