We all have so many friends either in our regular lives or here on mylot. Through discussions we are able to learn so much about each other. But have you ever come across a time where you want to know just a little bit more about someone. Yet you don't feel it is the right place to ask in a discussion because it would not benefit the discussion? Well here is your chance to get to know me, if interested. Some may find this a rediculus discussion, but I really don't care. I am just starting this discussion to have a little bit of fun here on mylot. So, I will give you just little bit about me and then from there ask many any question you want. Just remember I will not answer any questions that are too personal that could jeperdize my safety or identity. IE. names, address, or phone number.
Okay, so I am a stay at home mom of three kids and have been with my husband for 5 years (today) and married for 2 years (June 3rd). I enjoy dancing, crafting, and reading. I was born in Germany and have lived in Texas, England, and Florida.
That's all I am giving for now. Want to know more, just ask.
Lets have fun with this!

Grabbing your leg and screaming, that is a classic tantrum. LOL! Some of my daughters can be hilarious as well.

I do ignore those tantrums and they are just getting to be hilarious, he grabs onto my leg and just screams. Thanks for the advice. I feel better about ignoring him now when he does it.
You got the bra question right and I'm with you!!!
This was a fun discussion!

I have arrived and my question is easy. Do you speak other languages?
My answer a little Spanish really badly and had French in school for three years. I'm really rusty, but have spent time on a French Board reading it. I really need to practice.

"Do you speak other languages?"
Well, if you count being able to count in spanish to about 15. LOL! Actually, no I don't speak any other languages fluently. I know how to count to 15 in spanish and I took German in high school. But I don't remember much of the German either.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy crafts too. I like to crochet, beads just to name a few. I've crochet several things recently for my 7 month old granddaughter. So what type of crafts do you enjoy doing?

The crafts that I enjoy are cross stitching and scrapebooking. I would love to learn how to crochet. My mom tried teaching me one time and I somewhat got the knack for it, but then I stopped and haven't picked it up again. So I am not sure if I would remember how to do it or not.

Wow! Thanks for sharing with me. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. My stepson's birthday is November 16th. You will love Germany if you ever get a chance to visit there. As I said in my discussion, I was born there, but when I was in high school I got the chance to go visit Germany for three weeks. It is such a beautiful country. I would give anything to go back again.

Hi Speedy, First I will ask you some more questions, then I will let you know more about me.
[b]First question - how old are your 3 kids?
Second question - What type of dancing do you enjoy?
Third question - What's it like living in Texas, do you enjoy living there? Or is there another country you would like to live?[/b]
Okay so now for a bit more details about myself. At the moment I am also a stay at home mum with 3 children, like you. I was born in Australia and live in Australia. At the moment I am off work as I just had my third child 6 weeks ago. I am a primary school teacher, which I am very passionate about. I also enjoy dancing. Other interests of mine are: kareokes, swimming, bbq's and socialising with friends.

"how old are your 3 kids?"
My kids are ages 11, 5, and 4. Two boys and a girl.
"What type of dancing do you enjoy?"
I enjoy line dancing. I have been doing it since I was in high school. It is so much fun.
"What's it like living in Texas, do you enjoy living there?"
Well currently I live in Florida. I lived in Texas when I was about 2 years old, so I really don't remember a whole lot about Texas. I did take a trip there a few years ago and it was nice. Very hot!!!
Congratulations on your new baby! Do you have boys or girls or both? And what ages are your other two children? What kind of dancing do you enjoy?
I am glad we got to know each other better!

Nice to meet you!
I have been married for 8 years and we have 3 kids. I stay at home with the youngest (he's 2 and a half). I am also a part time student. I hope to graduate with my A.A.S. next year. I like to spend time with my family, surf the internet, read, and watch movies.

I mostly like to read horror type books like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, etc. I also looove Jodi Picoult. She writes more drama type books.
I see that you lived in England...My cousins lived there for about 3 years (their father was in the military) Did you enjoy living there?

I did enjoy living in England. It is such a beautiful country. My father was in the Air Force and we were stationed there for 4 years. I would like to go back someday!
Horror books huh???? Well we are definitly different there. I like suspense novels like Mary Higgins Clark and James Patterson.

It is very nice to meet you as well. What kind of books do you like to read? And do you have any questions for me? That was part of the discussion. You can ask me anything you want. LOL!
