 Hmmm... I'll give you one Paula... if you go to Minneapolis and go to St. Olaf's church downtown.. There's a priest with whom I worked many musicals here in VA before he was ordained! His name is Fr. Mark Pavlik. He's so MinneSOHtan.
 Now I'm starting to get a little bit embarrassed that I'm so self-centered... someone else? Quick get me off the hot seat and give us five things about you!! |

Not so fast! Probably if anyone has connection with Magdalen College or some graduates, you can find a link! Or Seton School. Or Christendom College (because of the VW link).

Mary Theresa, 9 is big?? I had no idea!
MissyC's husband is one of 17 too. They are one of the few families that will brave all 11 of us for dinner at their house! Her husband's family is very tight and they all get together very often (weekly I believe!) His parents are pullin' for Dh and I to catch up to them!

I've decided my five things are the most boring five things on the planet, so I'm going to have a do-over later tonight.

That's just nutty. And yes, I know I still look 12 (sigh). I am told I will appreciate that in my 40's.

Hi I'm Trish... Actually Patricia but only the bank and telemarketters call me that.
My 5's are:
1.Married to my dh Les for 19 years on April 11. We knew we were made for each other 4 hours after we met. And so far have 8 sweetie pies. I just turned 40 too!
2. I used to be lead singer in a rock band. We did a few local gigs and won a few contests. Then the real world came calling and I went to real work. lol
3. I love to make soap, handmade goodies for skin, candles. I love smelly stuff. 
4. I'm a revert and my dh is a convert. Talk about stressful when I came back to the church and he thought I was crazy! But many prayers were answered 3 years later when he joined. 
5. I'm hopelessly addicted to chocolate. I must eat chocolate everyday! If I don't look out!!!
Only 5 IS hard!

This is all too funny! Sorry to put you on the hot seat, there, Maryan! Msclavel, do I actually know you?? We probably sit next to each other in church!
(BTW, my dh's exploits continued well through college. Ask me about the grasshoppers in the new dorm sometime!)
Also, Pendergast sounds familliar-- do I know them from Troy or Christendom?

All you NOVA gals are so lucky, it gets lonely down here in the south without you. I can't think of 6 degrees to Maryan - and I sooooo want to play!

Well, I was thinking in a broad sense this can be so easy. You were born and raised in Louisiana, I lived in Louisiana, my sister was born there. I know Maryan, so there's our connection.
But that's not fair, right?
Get the college connection. Priests...I'm sure there's overlapping!

Anne, probably...I just looked on the roster for HTH and see your family...so this is where another fact about me rears its head...I am SSSOOOOO shy  ...I'm sure we've crossed paths at the parish or in the homeschool group...but I may have run away
In fact, I am virtually surrounded IRL by ladies here and I'm too wrapped up in my shyness to push myself to see them more IRL...isn't that sad.

What a great discussion! Hmm, 5 things about me...
1. I have lived in the same state (and within a county that touches the one I was born in) my entire life.
2. In June, we will celebrate our 10th anniversary. We've been together for 15 years.
3. We are baseball ADDICTS in this house - GO BRAVES - and my oldest plays every chance he gets.
4. I drink waaaaay too much coffee.
5. This fall will be our "official" beginning with homeschooling.

I can't seem to get up the nerve, either, Maria. I was at my son's atrium for the Liturgy of Light. It was the whole school, both atriums, lots of parents. I know many by face, some I know closer. I barely said boo to anyone. If they don't start, I don't usually say anything. But the contradiction --I even sang in front of everyone and didn't have one fear.

I'm glad you joined in! Welcome to the board. As far as your number 5 -- my dh is a Pirates fan from childhood. This week DirecTV gave a free preview of MLB package, so I got to see the Pirates/Braves series. I promise I won't rub it in. It will get worse as the season progresses, poor Pirates. Breaks my dh's

Coming out of Lurkdom to reply:
I am Mommy to four dd's, 21, 20, 8 1/2 and 5
1) Converted after marrying my cradle Catholic hubby. There was no way I was converting (or so I told the priest when we married).
2) My 8 year old is my first victim of homeschooling and we are so glad we jumped in.
3) I constantly second guess myself in life. I am working on this.
4) I am a southern girl transplated in the midwest. (I feel so landlocked!)
5) I want to travel the states in a RV when my hubby retires.

Okay, I'll share this. I had never heard the term and when my sister was moving to Nebraska and used "landlocked" I thought it meant there were no lakes or rivers in the area. I was clueless.
I have been ridiculed for that ignorant comment.

This is funny! Well, you were close. The ocean is days away. Both my husband and I are east coaster's so we have had a lot of adjusting. Not to mention that dh was in the Navy too so no ocean means a little moodiness.

Okay, I'm a bit late, but I'll play too...
1. I'm not homeschooling yet--I hope you'll all still let me stay! I am 26, married for almost 5 years, and mom to two toddlers.
2. My two children are only three months apart: we have a biological daughter (born at 42 weeks, Rachel May--I hope you don't go that long!) and a son whom we adopted from Guatemala. My son ironically looks a lot like my husband, so we get the "Are they twins?" question ALL the time.
3. If I weren't a stay-at-home mom, I would be an English professor. I was on track to get my Ph.D in Literature, teaching composition and Shakespeare discussion seminars at the university, when I decided to "drop out" and become a housewife. You can imagine my feminist professors' reactions!
4. My husband converted me! We were still dating and in college at the time. I actually had my heart set on converting him to my evangelical church, but he is a pretty persuasive guy! I ended up entering the Church on Easter Vigil of 2002. We were married a year later.
5. I have lived in California all my life. (So has my husband.)
I am so enjoying reading more about all of you!!

Maryan -
Here's the *fact* I'm wanting to know about you:
What IS your name? Mary-Ann or Marian (I mean, how do you pronounce it)?
I feel this need to pronounce it to myself when I see it written; it helps me feel more like I'm talking with you.
Peace,
Nancy

You're not late, Celeste!! And besides... Patty's (PDyer) going to redo hers later tonight. You're a funny, Patty.
I wish I had known about these boards as I was preparing to homeschool. And... I've never been to CA. I've never been west of Denver (saw the Pope there!) Judging by climate only, I think I would madly fall in love with San Diego and never come back. Who needs seasons?? I would never get sick of sunny and warm. (Okay not that all of CA is San Diego...)
