      Nope. But while I'm answering this question (I get this question at least once a week, and have since I set up this formspring) You can move on. I'm not going to hash out the private details of family business. If you don't care to read about our daily life here you don't have to read Charmingly Chandler. If you're waiting for the day I'm going to open up and give a detailed account of my private and personal family history...you will be waiting forever. It will not happen. So hang it up, let it go, and read or don't read. :-)

      Ha ha ha. Because it's fun to make people wonder if I'm going to name any future baby Lemon Drop Sunshine. Ha ha. No ummm, I think we just decided to keep it to ourselves until 1) we get pregnant with another child 2)we know the gender. I mean can't you see it now....."Mom. Dad. You're next grandchild's name is ____" Instead of the tradition "It's a girl y'all"
      Also when people start guessing we hear some interesting guesses that aren't that bad. But we're pretty set with the names, which is strange since we are not prepared to add to our wee family quite yet.

      I was planning on answering this as a vlog. But I haven't had a chance to vlog since the "vlod" night. I joined the AF when I was 17 under their delayed enlistment program. So I "joined" the summer before my sr year. I left for basic a few weeks after HS graduation. I spent my 18th birthday in basic training.

      Looking back I just foolishly listened to everyone else and thought that college was going to be too much trouble and that my grades (which were actually NOT bad grades) just wouldn't be enough. I didn't know any better, and so I joined. I don't regret it, I do regret some of the decisions I made while I was in. But live and learn right??

      By sew I assume you mean thread. (for those that don't know what that is, you can get the info here http://www.eyebrowthreading.com/).

      I haven't gone back to get it done, but I would. Not only did the lady do a great job but it didn't leave my skin raw like waxing does!

      My other favorite beauty things, this assumes that I've actually been taking care of myself properly beauty wise. I would say exfoliating. I worked for Clinique and became addicted to "Seven Day Scrub" and if you're like my friend Vanessa you'll use it twice a day. But really....you are only supposed to use it once a day max. But I love love love the way my skin felt afterward. SO SMOOTH!

      I don't anymore. Now when I take a shower I am just enjoying the silence. The lack of songs and talking.

      I make up most of Sophia's songs. We have one that is silly but "Mommmmmyyyyyyy Daddddddyyyyyy the Sophia" I lean her to each side of mommy and daddy and then wiggle her for the Sophia. I've done it since she was a tiny baby and she loves it!

      I sing "You are my sunshine" to her quite a bit. And we do the 10 little indians and the little piggies every night at bath time.

      We have music playing all the time, so I guess all music is HER music. :-)

      I feel like I must be a snob about stuff. Because I can't think of what I wouldn't be. But the things I think of make me sounds like a realllly bad person. "Fweeee? Fweeeee giffff?" ha ha ha. Ok so that's not funny to you. I am a snob about Army wives who spend all of the money their husbands work hard to make while they are deployed. Actually that crap just pisses me off. Grrrr.

      Ohhhh man. How do I answer this. Twitter people. Because 1)I am roadtripping with an awesome twitter-pal and her wee one. 2)I think it's going to be us sitting in the back jabbing away. Man. I need to lose 20 pounds in 15 days. How am I going to do that???

      I think it's real. But I think it's not for the exact reasons people think. I think that the Earth has cycles. We've not been on Earth taking data for the entire life of the Earth. So I think it's very possible that this isn't the first time that "global warming" has happened. Are the changes scary? Boooya yes they are! But is it because I threw my coke bottle in the trash (like 1.8 billion other people before me?) eh. Not really.
