~ I never wanted to have children

Wow sunshine, you certainly got used to the idea. I wonder these days on some baby forums, they always try to stick to their original idea.

I am not so worried about getting up in the night these days. We do have a curtain that lets in alot of light at night though. I think after alot of children, days and nights start running together a little, or something happens. Maybe it just happened.

I love Steel Magnolias, even thought of naming dd3 Shelby or was it Shelley? I haven't watched it for awhile and it is late, but you get the idea.

I probably can't drive an automatic.

I drink mostly tea, rarely anything else.

I got used to cheap toilet paper.

Have to think of some more later.

Oh my. . . .

There's a reason God gives us 9 months to get used to the idea, and He had to really thump me good (I had gangrene with Jacob) to make me WANT that baby-- once he came, there was no doubt I wanted him though. And there was never a doubt that once we had one, they wouldn't be an only child. By that point your entire lifestyle has changed. . .

We just didn't think we wanted to raise children in such an ugly, hateful world. When I got pregnant with Jacob, I was crying to a dear friend of mine (older lady who has since passed on, and I miss her to this day) She wisely told me that I needed to raise mine to be a light in the world of darkness, and that perhaps they would change the world.

Well, they certainly changed MINE and I love it, and them.

Beautiful perspective, sunshine. Thanks for sharing that gold nugget.

Wonderful post!

I am a Gemini - two sides of me - creative and practical.

I have been an almost life-long fan of the Tampa Bay Bucs football team - since around 1980.

I always thought I would have kids someday, but it doesn't appear to be in the cards for me.

Lifelong out-of-this-world dream: it'd be nice to fly to the moon, and to look at earth from space.

Teenaged dream career: managing a successful band, or directing/writing movies/television

As a teen and throughout my 20s, I wrote 'lyrics' to what must have been thousands of songs - probably mostly forgettable especially as there was never any music for them. They've been lost along the way.

I was a major TV nut in the 1980s and early 90s. At that time, I knew the name and character of just about any actor on TV then and in the 1970s as well - day and nighttime.

I LOVE music - especially discovering new songs but also enjoying old faves.

I love to cook, and to experiment with new recipes.

I used to make these really huge sandwiches as a teen - full of 'weird' things. My faves had: cheese, pork-n-beans (called baked beans down under), potato chips, choco-chip cookies or Oreos, mayo, mustard, and sometimes coleslaw. Um. I still have one from time to time. ;D

I love cheesecake - not too fussed on chocolate - unless it's IN cheesecake!

I would almost give an arm - okay, maybe just some fingers - if I could have a couple bowls full of home-cooked southern-style butter beans with a couple big slabs of cornbread - preferably all prepared by an older Southern woman who KNOWS how to cook.

My fave colors are 'natural' golds and browns.

I have a major thing for grasses. Yeah, grasses. Must drive my hubby nutso. Gimme a meadow full of grasses over a vase full of roses anyday. ;D

I love rustic-looking vases and bowls and such.

I was a vegetarian for about 20 years, from age 14 or so. Still don't eat much aside from chicken, mild-flavored fish, bacon, and mince/ground beef.

I went through a phase as a teenager of loving everything British. Since then, I've been true-blue Americana.

My niece and nephew have grown up knowing I adore seeing the US flag flying in the breeze.

I love American football and NZ rugby.

I will watch nearly any sport during the Olympics.

I have had problems with my feet since I was 15.

I have become quite the birdwatcher over the last few years.

I love design - gardening, website, interior, scrapbooking, etc.

My fave movie is "A Fish Called Wanda" and I've had a major crush on John Cleese ever since seeing the movie in the early 90s.

My fave song is "In My Life" by John Lennon/Beatles.

I've almost always driven sporty muscle cars. Would love to have a new Dodge Charger. Vrroom.

I was a prison officer for six years.

I love, love, love "Desperate Housewives".

I watch "Amazing Race" and "Survivor" and swore aloud when they were placed on tv at the same time - and against my other can't miss program, "Top Gear".

I can't swim.

I have big front teeth, and ears that stick out - I plan to someday have surgery to 'pin back' the ears. Well, someday. Maybe.

My husband is 23 years older than me. We met online 7 years ago and have been married for 3.

I got caught up in a gambling addiction this year - pokie machines - won a fair bit, lost a fair bit more. Still trying to understand the bits in our brains that allow us to become addicted, the bit that predisposes us to it, etc.

I have never done any sort of drug, ever, nor have I ever smoked a single cigarette. Mum did good - scared the bejeebers out of us - only one sister ever smoked cigs for a brief time, and only two of us have occassional drinks.

I've never, ever been drunk - tipsy a few times, but never had a hangover, either.

Yeah, I need to get a life. ;-)

I quit school when I was 16yo - spur of the moment - bored - had excellent grades but low self esteem.

Well, I could go on all night but will stop there.

Ah...um...I just saw how long that post was... um...oops...
