You didn't end up naming your daughter Dylan did you?
My son's names are Jake and Luke (not Jacob and Lucas). If our daughter had been a son, his name would have been Dylan. I was afraid it would have sounded like we were raising the new BH 90210 class. :laugh:
:laugh: We DID name our son after Wolverine!
Logan1. I did not name my child after after Wolverine, no matter what his father keeps telling him.
Does this mean his name is Logan...or Hugh?
Logan is on my list... now just to get to that point! LOL
My ex-wife stopped discussing girl's names.
First it was Lilly.
"Lilly LaBonde? Sounds like a porn name"
Then Claire
Breakfast Club flashback - "John Bender: Oh, it's a fat girl's name."
Still sticking with Claire, but now making it a middle name.
How about Emma Claire?
"You realize her name would be E.Claire"
That's when the discussion ended.0 -
Sydney...out of the blue. That name had never been mentioned before. Now you probably understand why.

E. Claire! Ohhmygosh. I about spit my water all over my desk! Tooeffinfunny.0 -
I wear my boyfriends "man" lotion sometimes, when I'm missing him. I'm wearing it today
15. ERA laundry soap is heavenly. I once said that I wished it could be used as a bodywash. Which brings me to a similar point.. when I had ran out of bodywash and had to use men's Axe, I couldn't stop sniffing myself all day. Mmmm
I do the same thing. My late boyfriend wore Brut and I love the smell of it. Sometimes I'll put some on before I go to bed at night just so I can go to sleep smelling it. My son hates the smell of Brut. :laugh:0 -
1. I have two beautiful children: boy- 10 & girl- 8. (yup, those are their names too… jk).
2. I have been married 2 times. For 6 years the first time, and for 2.5 years so far on #2.
3. I am 27 years young. (I feel really old though!!)
4. I love to clean my house. Many people have even dabbled with the idea that I may be OCD.. ?
5. I like to drink.. and have dance parties!
6. My favorite movie is The Lord of the Rings.
7. My favorite band is a Finnish band called HIM I meet them in 2006!

10. I found my soul-mate (how many people can say that?)
11. I want to move out of Michigan. Always have wanted to. I hate the cold, and I just plain hate the state.
12. I am always cold. (I mean it.. I don’t even wear shorts in the summer unless it is over 80 degrees).
13. I have a Bachelor’s Degree (in marketing)
14. I sleep with covers over my head and one foot out of the blankets.. haha (the foot allows me to not get all sweaty, but keeps the rest of my body nice and toasty).
15. I can cook pasta dishes better than Olive Garden (no joke)!
16. I am 5 years older than my husband. (And he is only 12 years older than my son). Lol..
17. I was a teen Mom, and loved every minute of it. Moved out on my own before my son was born and got married to his dad when I was 18 (my son was 1)!
18. I believe that boys are easier to raise than girls are. By far!
19. I am not friends with many women. Actually my girl to guy friend ratio is probably 1:10. The reason.. women tend to be back-stabbing, snobbish, competitive, vindictive, .. should I go on? And since I am NONE of these.. we tend to not get along so well.
20. I LOVE music. I actually don’t know how anyone wouldn’t; or how anyone could live without it.
21. I love the color black. I have black hair, I wear black clothes every single day. No that DOESN’T make me “goth” or “evil” lol

:laugh: That's so funny. You know you can't be too careful when it comes to naming your kids. I went to school with a girl whose hame was Maxine and some kids used to call her Maximillion Bones. She hated it! When my daughter was pregnant with my youngest grandson one of the names she and her husband considered was Conner. No good. Think con man or con artist or convict. They're lucky they had me and her brother to help them pick out a name. :laugh: You also have to wach out for what the initials would be. My co-worker and her husband named their son Max. YIKES!!! Think maxipad! I feel sorry for the kid when he starts school.
Ok, the top part should have been in quotes but for some reason they didn't show up. :huh:0 -
1. i adore going to the stadium but hate watching sports on tv. don't really like hot dogs either, but i love the smell of the 'rockies dog'. can't get enough of fairs, carnivals and amusement parks. i think i might get more excited about going to them than my kids. no wait, i know it's true; i get more excited than my kids.
2. i am under 5 foot tall (4' 11 1/2''), but i lie. i wear shoes with a 2 inch heel always!
3. i used to be very bad at eating breakfast in the morning. i love breakfast food though, so having breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite meals. we call it 'brinner' (we also sometimes combine lunch and supper into one meal, and call it 'lupper').
4. i love cheese. when i am really stressed, i buy a block of mozzerella and gnaw on it until it is gone. i add cheese to almost everything, even fruit or pie (the exception being chocolate - i have tried, but cheese-n-chocolate do NOT go together at all. lol). my version of a grilled cheese sandwich is to stick a hunk of colby cheese on the griddle until it is nice and crispy, and eat it with no bread. my favorite cheese is cambozola (a portmanteau of camembert and gorgonzola). swiss i the only cheese that i have to be *in the mood* for. i think gouda is very good-a. heehee. (my blog is even called 'Everything is Better with Cheese'.)
5. currently in the frig are 16 different kinds of cheese - feta, blue cheese crumbles, baby swiss singles, muenster singles, colby slices, american slices, havarti block, provolone block, pepper jack block, cheddar bacon block, parmesan herb block, wedge brie, wedge parmesan, shredded colby and monterey jack, shredded mozzerella, and shredded sharp cheddar. that is not including the string cheese, green can parm, cream cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta, laughing cow or velveeta. the number stays approximately the same, but the kinds vary.
6. i am a really great chef (and yep, i am being modest), but i hate, hate, hate baking. hate it! (*ahem* ...unless it is creme brulee.)
7. i have a few weird food habits. to name three - i always blot my pizza with a paper towel before serving it (i think i heard somewhere that it takes off 100 calories per slice); i have to take at least one bite out of my 'whole' string cheese before 'stringing' it; i can't handle any of the white peel left on the outside of my orange. oh, and the only soup i can eat when i am sick is french onion. no chicken noodle for me - gross!
8. i always wanted to have twin girls.
9. i love to decorate and design! i wish i had gone to school for architecture or interior design (though i joke that i can't draw a straight line with a ruler. lol) ...perhaps one day.
10. i love old stone buildings, stained glass windows and claw foot bathtubs.
11. my favorite color is brown. my favorite paint chip is called 'cracker bitz'.
12. i organize closets and drawers before worrying about main spaces. speaking of closets, i think mine might be my favorite room. it has a window, framed art, an ottoman, and a chandelier in it. *blissful*
13. i don't mind cleaning bathrooms, but despise vacuuming and refuse to fold socks.
14. i scrapbook without pictures. i.e. just make scrapbook layouts and someone else has to add the photos. i have made seven volumes of scrapbooks without pictures. i think it is because i am a perfectionist and worry that i won't like it a few weeks after it is complete.
15. i am chronically late. thank God for such forgiving friends.
16. i wish i was better at being funny, less sarcastic. hubby thinks i'm a hoot (which is good for our marriage as you can imagine) and i think i have a good sense of humor, but many times people are not sure if i am kidding (when i am [i would say 'when i clearly am', but evidently it's not so clear]). my family is the worst at being able to read me and figure out when i am joking around.
17. i am an avid reader, mostly of romance. i read a book a day, sometimes more. it takes me about 3 1/2 hours to finish a 350-page book. i also love presidential biographies (which do take me a bit longer, a week to a month), and children's books. i hate newspapers and magazines because i feel like i have to read every single word even the advertisements, but i like to stay informed because i am a political junkie.
18. i love playing games, both board games and card games. i love the smack-talk that accompanies them. i am competitive and like to win. 'taboo' is one of the best games evah!
19. i think it is more important for an american citizen to travel around the u.s. than it is to visit europe or other coutries. i have never been to alaska, arkansas, idaho, maine, tennessee, texas or vermont. it is my goal to accomplish this within the next 5-10 years, as well as revisit many of the other states so my boys are well-traveled. my favorite american city is wheatland, wyoming. i would love to live there if i could.
20. i have touched a live bald eagle (our national symbol). they are fierce!
21. i am allergic to metal and can't wear my wedding set. it bums me out and i have considered getting a wedding band or hubby's name tattooed around my ring finger.
22. my husband and i each own 2 vehicles, which is kind of ridiculous, but they each have a different function. i own a 1999 bravada (winter suv) and a 2004 taurus (summer car). my husband owns a 2002 envoy (work vehicle) and red lumina z-34 (his dream car). three out of the 4 vehicles are gold. we would like to also purchase a 2007 4-door silverado truck (guess what color that will be?) but it will probably be another year before we can because we pay for our vehicles in cash.
23. the day i met my hubby, i called my mom and said 'i just met the man i am going to marry'.
24. i love getting a good deal. i will buy something that i don't need just because it is on sale (a horrible trait passed on from my dad). i am working on this.
25. i don't like swimming. nothing traumatic ever happened to me, i just don't like the thought of all the germs in the pool or fish poop in the lake. i also don't like to talk on the phone, and think cell phones are evil.0 -
Here we go!!
1. I HATE washing dishes...if I ever get my own house; the first thing going in is a dishwasher.
2. My dad gave me a Russian name (Natasha) just to piss off my Mom's family (very stuck up, and not a Russian in the lot).
3. I have a nephew named Kyristan who is 4 and a half, and the cutest little boy on the planet. He is super tall, though and looks like he is about 6 or 7, so people expect so much more of him than he is capable of when they first meet him.
4. I love to read, bake, cross stitch and scrapbook. I am an amateur photographer and writer. I blog about my adventures in baking and cooking.
5. My mom thinks I am morbid.
6. I hate people that are stubbornly stupid and think they are correct no matter what. I know 'the customer is always right', but if you do not have the information, I can't help you! I'm sorry, but I can't magically pull your contract out of my butt just because you say there is one!
7. Aside from getting together with family and friends, my favorite part of Christmas is the craft sales that pop up in every mall, school gym and arena each weekend.
8. I can not spell. I love spell checker.
9. I hate my job because it is so dead (I’m at a call center and take about 6 calls an hour). But I love my job because in between calls, I can read, play online games, text, find recipes online, and just about anything else so long as it is quiet and appropriate.
10. My favorite thing to do on a rainy Saturday is to close the curtains (so I can not see it) and bake all day.
11. I am 29 years old and I can not swim. I have had many lessons, but I have never been able to learn.
12. I hate snow, ice, cold weather, and winter altogether. Therefore I should live in a warmer climate, but I love Canada and would never move away.
13. I live in the oldest incorporated city in Canada; there are a lot of very old buildings and parks here. I would love to be able to come back 100 or 200 years from now to see how much it has or has not changed.
14. My parents live on a farm. Not with any animals, aside from cats and a dog, but an old farm complete with barns, a play house, an old country store, chicken coop, and a double seater outhouse. I am the only person in my family who has not peeped into the outhouse to see the double seats.
15. I love to move. After about a year in one place I get bored and want to move to another. I have been in this apartment for 21 months and I am extremely antsy to move. Everyone tells me to wait for spring.
16. I was not allowed to play video games growing up. Now I can not seem to get into them unless they make me think.
17. I am not an animal person. Cats are evil, dogs drool. Not big on rodents, cute to look at but not to own. Fish, I can live with but don't like to live with me. I could probably live with a cat, except for the whole litter box thing. Yuck.
18. If I could afford them and did not have to work, I would not mind having 6 or 8 kids.
19. I have never been drunk.
20. I love to go for walks at night, even though it scares my family. I live in a small fairly safe city. I know the safe and non safe areas, but it still worries my family that I am going to be mugged.
21. I discovered yesterday a habit I have that drives my beau batty is actually a family trait. I can never remember to check the time or set a timer when I throw something in the oven. I usually just glance at it every 5 to 10 minutes for doneness. My sisters do it to. Three of us baking a pie yesterday, and not one of us remembered to look at the clock when we were precooking the pastry shell and later when we were cooking the filling :-)
22. I love doing online jigsaw puzzles, but not the real thing.
23. My favorite foods are Lasagna, cookies and ice cream.
24. I am in love with my kitchen aid mixer and my crock pots. I would be lost with out them.
25. I am a horrible house keeper. I am able to houseclean if I have proper motivations, but I really could use a maid.0 -

My first husband died when I was 24, too. There wasn't a lot of support for young widows out there. I'm glad you've found love again 0 -
1. Star Wars is the greatest movie ever made. I remember seeing it on opening day. Since then I’ve easily seen it over 100 times.
2. I have 5 kids, still not entirely sure how that happened.
3. Women’s feet are cute, men’s are disgusting—except mine.
4. When I’m really stressed I run—hence marathons.
5. I have more clothes than my wife.
6. I have a slight shoe fetish, my wife originally thought I was just being considerate when I used to buy her shoes—until she realized she couldn’t walk in any of them.
7. In high school I was a very shy closet dork that hung out with a really bad crowd, now I’m an extrovert dork that flirts way too much.
8. When people find out where I went to college and that I was an English major—they inevitably ask me why I have such a foul mouth.
9. When I was young I wanted to be a priest.
10. I never lived up to my full potential.
11. I got drunk at my Mom’s funeral. My idiot brothers were too broken up to be of any use so I handled the whole thing myself. Now they rarely speak to me. My Mom always told me not to expect too much from them, they were like our father, and I was like her. She was a hard *kitten*.
12. I miss my Mom.
13. I hid a bottle of tequila in her casket.
14. I love Coco Chanel Mademoiselle, and buy it for my wife whenever she runs low. Once, when she claimed she was tired of wearing it all the time, I emptied her bottle of Carolina Herrera, and filled it with the Chanel. If she noticed, she never said anything, but sticks to the Chanel now.
15. Whether by hard work, trick or deceit, I almost always get what I want—except for my wife’s breast reduction, I lost that one huge.
16. For a kid that wanted to be a priest and graduated from a Christian University, I wonder why I’m not more ethical.

22. I love romantic comedies. Everyone thinks I’m into science fiction, but Star Wars is the only one I like.
23. I love to read.
24. Me and my wife have only one thing in common; we’re good at it and we’ve ruined ourselves for anyone else.
25. Apparently I reeeeeaaaaaallllllllly like talking about myself cause this was easy.0 -
Your 25 things had me literally laughing out loud. Thanks for sharing. Here's mine. It's not as funny as yours mostly because this is an old list that I saved from a facebook note, but I thought it would be rude to read and not leave something myself.
1. My favorite color is blue.
2. They say, “Man’s best friend is a dog”, but mine is fish…and turtles.
3. Little cars (a.k.a. Hot Wheels) decorate my place (on purpose)

5. In my spare time, I scrapbook & cross stitch.
6. My favorite sports activity is Racquetball. It’s the greatest game ever created; mad props to Sylvette for introducing it to me.

13. When I was 17 yrs., my mom married an older man. He has since passed away. And, my mom has remarried…and divorced, but I still claim her first husband’s relative. And, she faithfully still calls me “Auntie” even though she’s almost 10 years older than me.
14. In my last year of high school, I joined the Tennis Team because the coach said I would receive a trophy regardless of my win/loss record at the season’s end.
15. I graduated second in my class (Salutatorian); however, public speaking and speech writing weren’t my strengths, so I played my clarinet instead of giving a speech. My last solo: Stevie Wonder’s “Ribbon in the Sky”.
16. I opted to attend Penn State because of the school colors. See #1 (North Carolina was my second choice)
17. Penn State tuition: $ 3,000; Books for one semester: $ 500; My Sistahs: priceless…Love Ya!
18. I attended a John P. Kee rehearsal in North Carolina. It was awesome!
19. I always wanted to learn how to play the drums. Last year, I had 13 lessons and loved it…well worth the wait.
20. I have been craving the old school candy~Boston Baked Beans~for the last six weeks. I can’t buy one box; it has to be 4 or 6 boxes at a time.
21. I have one completed chapter written for a children’s book.
22. I have been saving a name for a baby girl since I was a teenager. Now, all I need is a husband.
)
23. I used to have a long list of questions when searching for Mr. Right. But, now that 40 is around the corner, I have narrowed my list down to two very important questions: Do you know God? And Can you produce?
24. The greatest lesson that I’m still learning is: It’s not how you start out, but how you end up.
25. I took me 2.5 hours to come up with 25 things…enjoy.0 -

22. I like everysing type of music that there is...and i mean EVERYTHING...rap,counrty, pop, oldies, alternative, metal, hip hop, techno, r&B, contemporary....everything.. lol ....speaking of music, i think lil wayne is a lyrical genious.
23. I have a 5 year old neice who is like a daughter to me...shes my heart and soul.
24. I laugh till I cry almost daily.
25. I love my life...im the luckiest person on the planet 0 -
1. i adore going to the stadium but hate watching sports on tv. don't really like hot dogs either, but i love the smell of the 'rockies dog'. can't get enough of fairs, carnivals and amusement parks. i think i might get more excited about going to them than my kids. no wait, i know it's true; i get more excited than my kids.
2. i am under 5 foot tall (4' 11 1/2''), but i lie. i wear shoes with a 2 inch heel always!
3. i used to be very bad at eating breakfast in the morning. i love breakfast food though, so having breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite meals. we call it 'brinner' (we also sometimes combine lunch and supper into one meal, and call it 'lupper').
4. i love cheese. when i am really stressed, i buy a block of mozzerella and gnaw on it until it is gone. i add cheese to almost everything, even fruit or pie (the exception being chocolate - i have tried, but cheese-n-chocolate do NOT go together at all. lol). my version of a grilled cheese sandwich is to stick a hunk of colby cheese on the griddle until it is nice and crispy, and eat it with no bread. my favorite cheese is cambozola (a portmanteau of camembert and gorgonzola). swiss i the only cheese that i have to be *in the mood* for. i think gouda is very good-a. heehee. (my blog is even called 'Everything is Better with Cheese'.)
5. currently in the frig are 16 different kinds of cheese - feta, blue cheese crumbles, baby swiss singles, muenster singles, colby slices, american slices, havarti block, provolone block, pepper jack block, cheddar bacon block, parmesan herb block, wedge brie, wedge parmesan, shredded colby and monterey jack, shredded mozzerella, and shredded sharp cheddar. that is not including the string cheese, green can parm, cream cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta, laughing cow or velveeta. the number stays approximately the same, but the kinds vary.
6. i am a really great chef (and yep, i am being modest), but i hate, hate, hate baking. hate it! (*ahem* ...unless it is creme brulee.)
7. i have a few weird food habits. to name three - i always blot my pizza with a paper towel before serving it (i think i heard somewhere that it takes off 100 calories per slice); i have to take at least one bite out of my 'whole' string cheese before 'stringing' it; i can't handle any of the white peel left on the outside of my orange. oh, and the only soup i can eat when i am sick is french onion. no chicken noodle for me - gross!
8. i always wanted to have twin girls.
9. i love to decorate and design! i wish i had gone to school for architecture or interior design (though i joke that i can't draw a straight line with a ruler. lol) ...perhaps one day.
10. i love old stone buildings, stained glass windows and claw foot bathtubs.
11. my favorite color is brown. my favorite paint chip is called 'cracker bitz'.
12. i organize closets and drawers before worrying about main spaces. speaking of closets, i think mine might be my favorite room. it has a window, framed art, an ottoman, and a chandelier in it. *blissful*
13. i don't mind cleaning bathrooms, but despise vacuuming and refuse to fold socks.
14. i scrapbook without pictures. i.e. just make scrapbook layouts and someone else has to add the photos. i have made seven volumes of scrapbooks without pictures. i think it is because i am a perfectionist and worry that i won't like it a few weeks after it is complete.
15. i am chronically late. thank God for such forgiving friends.
16. i wish i was better at being funny, less sarcastic. hubby thinks i'm a hoot (which is good for our marriage as you can imagine) and i think i have a good sense of humor, but many times people are not sure if i am kidding (when i am [i would say 'when i clearly am', but evidently it's not so clear]). my family is the worst at being able to read me and figure out when i am joking around.
17. i am an avid reader, mostly of romance. i read a book a day, sometimes more. it takes me about 3 1/2 hours to finish a 350-page book. i also love presidential biographies (which do take me a bit longer, a week to a month), and children's books. i hate newspapers and magazines because i feel like i have to read every single word even the advertisements, but i like to stay informed because i am a political junkie.
18. i love playing games, both board games and card games. i love the smack-talk that accompanies them. i am competitive and like to win. 'taboo' is one of the best games evah!
19. i think it is more important for an american citizen to travel around the u.s. than it is to visit europe or other coutries. i have never been to alaska, arkansas, idaho, maine, tennessee, texas or vermont. it is my goal to accomplish this within the next 5-10 years, as well as revisit many of the other states so my boys are well-traveled. my favorite american city is wheatland, wyoming. i would love to live there if i could.
20. i have touched a live bald eagle (our national symbol). they are fierce!
21. i am allergic to metal and can't wear my wedding set. it bums me out and i have considered getting a wedding band or hubby's name tattooed around my ring finger.
22. my husband and i each own 2 vehicles, which is kind of ridiculous, but they each have a different function. i own a 1999 bravada (winter suv) and a 2004 taurus (summer car). my husband owns a 2002 envoy (work vehicle) and red lumina z-34 (his dream car). three out of the 4 vehicles are gold. we would like to also purchase a 2007 4-door silverado truck (guess what color that will be?) but it will probably be another year before we can because we pay for our vehicles in cash.
23. the day i met my hubby, i called my mom and said 'i just met the man i am going to marry'.
24. i love getting a good deal. i will buy something that i don't need just because it is on sale (a horrible trait passed on from my dad). i am working on this.
25. i don't like swimming. nothing traumatic ever happened to me, i just don't like the thought of all the germs in the pool or fish poop in the lake. i also don't like to talk on the phone, and think cell phones are evil.0 -
1. Singing in the car is kind of my thing, I have an hour drive to school in the morning, so i BLAST 'you lost me' by christina aguleria and i sing my heart out.
2. I get the 'you have such a pretty face' or 'you should be a plus size model' all the time so I cant wait to here that I am pretty (not just my face).
3. I'd much rather be cold than hot , yet I live in Florida.
4. Im going to school for ultrasound.
5. I treat my puppy Kailee like shes a person
6. Makeup is my art, I LOVE everything to do with makeup, hair and skin care.
7. I have never seen snow, and i picture myself immediatley dropping to the ground to make a snow angel when i finally get to see it.
8. I am inlove with ellen degeneres lol
9. Trying to lose weight and be healthy is hard when you hate almost every veggie on the planet.
10. My favorite animal : Dolphins....got to go swim with dolphins as a graduation present.
11. I read for fun, Nicohlas Sparks is like a drug to me.
12. Im very organized, i can tell you where everything is at...even if u have to dig through a mess to get there..:P
13. I'm a big TV and movie buff and when I tell people this, they tend to think I'm lazy but it couldnt be farther from the truth....there are just alot of good shows and movies on these days...thank god for the DVR
14. My friend had to pay me to read twilight....now im addicted.
15. I am the biggest baby in the world when it comes to scary movies, or haunted houses and stuff like that....something that you thought was cheesy and not scary at all probably made me cry.
16. Its so hard to motivate myself to excersize but once i do i feel so amazing.
17. I am the most optomistic person you will ever meet. ; I have goals and I am 100% positive I will reach them.
18. I have had the same 2 bestfriends scince kindergarden , and they both hate eachother ...go figure.
19. I still watch disney channel, I probably always will
