Have you heard of Formspring?  It’s a website where people create profiles and then you can ask them any questions anonymously or with your own account.

After continually reading other people’s formspring pages and feeling awkward asking anonymous questions, I gave in and created my own account.  It’s actually kind of fun answering the questions.  Some make me think, others are funny and don’t require much insight on my part.

Got questions for me? Ask them here. Do you have an account and want more questions? Leave me a comment with your name and I promise I’ll send questions your way.

Here are a few questions I’ve answered lately…

Is there a food item that you’re ashamed or embarrassed that you love? What is it and what makes it so embarrassing/shameful? by wifeylifey

I love McDonald’s french fries, specifically while eating them in the car. I swear they taste better in the car than at home or in the restaurant. Sometimes I eat a fish filet sandwich with my fries which many people find gross. This is shameful because I have many healthy friends who are skinny and stick to a strict diet and a vegan brother-in-law who would shake his head in shame. I promise I don’t do it too often…

Hi Ducky! Growing up, were you a girly girl, a tomboy, or somewhere in between? by hamsterbee

Funny you ask this. My parents nickname for me was and still sometimes is girlie girl. I was all girl while my brother was the rough at tumble boy, so my parents got both worlds.

I feel like some of though came from the fact that I was super SUPER shy and was also really intimidated to try things like sports where I was afraid I would fail. I still remember a boy making fun of me in elementary school because I was horrible at playing Steal the Bacon. I basically avoided playing sports at all costs after that, which is super sad when you think about it. Anyways, random tangent on my childhood traumas.

Same question: What is your favorite date night with your husband? by HisBirdie

Lately our favorite date night spot has been at the new revolving sushi bar in Irvine. It is soo yummy. Plus at $2 a plate we get to try a little bit of everything. After we like to go get tea at 85 degree bakery or get a slushe at Lollicup. Sometimes we like to just stay home cook dinner and watch a movie like Harry Potter. Our treat is going to Whole Foods and buying all sorts of amazing food (Top Chef wannabes) and then coming home to cook together.

Are children in your ideal near future? Do you have an idea as to when you’d like to start trying for them, and how many? by wifeylifey

Well, I really want a puppy and will treat it like it’s my child. So I am hoping that is in the near future and I tell Mark so a few times a week.

But you are probably referring to real human children, in which case we want to wait awhile. We are in a stage that we really just like getting to be selfish in a sense and just worrying about each other. There is a lot I want to do before I have kids on a career level such as getting licensed as a therapist and establishing a private practice. It’s hard enough doing it all now, I can’t imagine having kids to balance on top of it like some of my coworkers. We also want to travel several places before we have kids because after that travel takes a new form. Sounds selfish right? Another huge factor is just being better off from a financial standpoint. Which takes time. Did you see Dumplings post on how much a baby costs? Yikes! We would be in debt.

I know that there are many more challenges to marriage once you have kids. From just psychology stuff it’s pretty incredible from a statistics stand point on how marital satisfaction is effected when babies and kids come into the picture. In the same way you prepare a nursery, hospital bag etc. for having the baby, I think it’s important to prepare your marriage and strengthen it as much as possible. Right now we are just really focused on enjoying marriage and look forward to being parents in the future.

I absolutely know that we want kids one day though. Probably in the next 4-5 years is what we’ve always estimated. We want 2. A girl and a boy. But, Mark is from a family of all boys so I’m a little nervous on if we will really get a girl. Is it messed up if I say that I just love little girlie baby clothes and want to buy a baby girl a million pair of baby shoes she will never wear? Probably.

However, I get really tempted to try sooner when I see people around me having babies. I LOVE kids and it just makes me happy to be around them. We just volunteer to be the fun and awesome babysitters for now and give our friends the chance to have a date night now and then. And I just want my friends to have babies so I can plan fun baby showers and decorate nurseries since I seriously miss having an event to plan.

This was a really long answer. In conclusion I’m hoping to be in round 2 or 3 of bees having baby bees. In the meantime I just follow everyone’s blogs and pretend I’m a part of it.

What do you and your husband disagree or argue about most? by wifeylifey

This is going to sound ridiculous, but probably my purse and car. Mark keeps his car spotless. So when we get in my car and there’s an old water bottle, crumpled mapquest directions, shoes, jackets etc. it drives him crazy. Same thing with my purse when it gets jumbled with receipts and random crap. He tries to clean it out for me and I get all upset and tell him to leave it alone and I’ll do it later. Which often doesn’t happen and then he tries to fix it again and the cycle continues.
