1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Nope.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I just had something in my eye.
But seriously, about three minutes ago. I watched this time lapse video of a friend's pregnancy. (I'm kind of a sap. It used to be just happy puppy and kitten videos that did it. Now babies too.) youtu.be/YM2l8iobWyg
Yesterday DS and I shared a cry about nap time.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Sure.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Rare (mooing) roast beef. Or maybe salami... Or peppered turkey. So hungry now.
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Never. I've toned it down a lot. DH has a great sense of humor but a crappy sarcasm detector.
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? I had them as well as my adenoids removed when I was 7.
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No. But it's less of a bungee jumping fear and more fear of falling apart. I have joints that dislocate easily. Tugging on them seems like a bad idea.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? yesterday. I was catching up on America's Got Talent. Some of those people's stories get me right in feels.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Hate it. I have horrible penmanship and even worse cursive. My signature is horrific.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? roast turkey
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? IRL yes.
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Nope.
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Yes. I would also skydive. Although I wouldn't right now. It's always been something I've wanted to do before having kids but I never got the chance because DD was kind of a suprise. I would probably wait until she was old enough to do it with me if she wants to.
ETA: I have done that thing where they pull you all the way back like a million feet in the air and pull the cord and you fly back and forth like superman at an amusement park. SO MUCH FUN!
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not that I am aware of.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? In the car Sunday. DS wouldn't stop screaming on our way home from camping. when I finally got him to stop, he had those deep breath sniffles, broke my heart.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I like my handwriting when I am not trying. If I am trying to write cute for a sign or card, I usually goof somewhere.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Turkey
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yup
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yup
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Nope. Not a fan. I have canyoneered before and repelled down 100ft cliff but, I don't think I need to do that again. Too many liabilities these days with DS.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My great-grandmother
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Monday, which was 1 year after my BFP and 3 years + 1 day after my aunt (who was also my godmother) passed away. Wish she were still around. She loved babies so much.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes. It's a blend of cursive and print. I'm pretty proud of having attractive handwriting cause I worked hard at it, and I'm left handed.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Ham, though I also love pepperoni
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yep. I have to watch it when I'm tired or have a headache cause I can get mean with it
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Sure do. My wisdom teeth too. I've never had surgery.
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Nope. It might be fun. But I'd probably pee myself.

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My great great grandmother and I shared a name, but I don't think it was intentional
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? About 3 hours ago when DD failed at a nap
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I like that someone said once that it looked like it belonged to an architect. I don't know what that means exactly, but it made me like my handwriting better for some reason.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Probably Smoked Turkey or Salami
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Depends on the group I'm with. I have to turn it on and off, particularly with some students.
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yup
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Not likely. Movement like on roller coasters is more thrilling to me than just drops.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not my first name, but my middle name was after my paternal grandfather. I changed it as an adult though, to my mother's last name.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Two weeks ago? The last time I recall crying was when DD cried getting her immunizations.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? It's fine. No one else can read it, which has its pluses.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Tofurky
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? YUP. Though not as much now that I live in the PNW.
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Sure do.
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No. I'm scared of heights and I don't want that kind of strain on my joints.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not my first name, but my middle name is after my dad's favorite cousin.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? A couple of weeks ago, thinking about my grandmas. It makes me very sad that DD will never know them.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Black pepper turkey
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Nooooooooooooo
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Yes. When I was 10, we went to New Zealand and saw the bridge where bungee jumping was invented. My dad tried SO hard to convince me to do it. Being 10, I was like, uh, no way. I so wish I'd been old enough to actually want to do it, because that would have been awesome.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Only my middle name. Each of my sisters and I got our mn's from one of our grandmothers.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I can't remember but I'm sure it was recently. I never ever used to cry but since B was born I am a total sap. Looking down at my baby girl growing daily? Call the wah-mbulance stat!
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I've seen nicer but it's legible and not awful.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Rare roast beef
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM ALOT? Much more before DH. He is very literal and it used to upset him when we first got together.
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yep
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Probably. Skydive no, but I am open to the idea of bungee jumping.
michelle142 that movie got me too. Can't even talk about the ending without crying!
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Nope
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I don't know. Prob within the last month, but nothing sticks out in my mind. Total sap these days, though.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? It's ok
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? None (ewww, meat, gross)
5. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yes. Less around DH but a lot with my family, especially my sister
6. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? No, they were removed when I was 7
7. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No, I would rather not jar my head/neck/joints like that. I have been skydiving and whitewater rafting, both were lots of fun.
@ellteejay is sarcasm a cultural no no in the PNW?
I wouldn't say it's a no no. I think it's a combination of things. One, the people of the PNW seem to not respond much to it (and probably from other places too since we've got lots of transplants). Like I just get funny looks. And some people think I'm a jerk.
Two, people here are super laid back and kind and it's rubbed off on me in a way where a lot of my sarcasm feels weird to me. It usually becomes stronger after a visit back east though.
