You have beautiful penmanship and doodled Julia and Eliana's names all over your day planner while you were pregnant. You are old school and believe in paper...paper dayplanners, paper books, paper invitations. You are a late adopter of electronic gadgetry. You are well off, so you were able to redecorate the nursery for Eliana. The first time around the nursery colors were pink and mint green and all the furniture was sprinkled with flower designs. The second time, you went for a teddy bear theme with lavender and chocolate brown accents. You had to order handpainted wallpaper from Italy for the latter nursery. Both kids are enrolled in ballet and Mandarian. Julia takes violin and oboe. Eliana chose piano, for which you are quite grateful as Julia's violin practicing has caused a swift uptick in Advil purchases in your household. You have two nannies, a weekday and weekend nanny, in addition to a weekly housekeeper. The weekday nanny does light housework and also does the laundry. She often mixes up the girls' clothes and sticks them in the wrong drawers and closets. The girls are peeved about this and sometimes retaliate by calling her by the weekend nanny's name. She is mightily annoyed but won't quit as she is sending much needed money back to her family in Estonia. |
LMAO! The bolded is all at least somewhat true! I'm Alexandra.My family is Irish Catholic but we only went to church on Christmas Eve, Easter & when we were visiting our grandparents.I'm now agnostic, as are 2 of my brothers.My sister was named after our grandmother, Kathleen (Caitlin is the traditional Gaelic form of Kathleen).Our parents were a bit annoyed by how trendy her name became within a few years of her birth.I was, in fact, an accident (my dad let this slip once after a few too many beers but I already kind of suspected as much anyway).And I actually WAS named after a friend of my dad's named Alexander who died tragically! He didn't die in a car accident, however, & was an adult, not a teenager, when he died.And although they went to prep school together, neither he nor my dad played rugby.I'm also fairly certain my mother didn't have PPD after I was born &, due to her age when at the time, doubt she mistook the pregnancy for menopause. Your assumptions are nonetheless stunningly accurate overall! |
Dang, did the bolding wrong in my last reply! |

Cameron and John are both in their 40s and are married and have children of their own. Cameron goes by Cammy and John Junior just sticks to John. Only Cammy calls him J.J. You are now in sunny Florida, where you live in a gated golf community. Your social life is fabulous and you go to the gym daily, you are the head organizer of your red hat group. In your spare time, you also enjoy collecting seashells and you keep them in glass jars and bottles you buy from Home Goods. You take the kids to Disneyworld frequently and you smugly note that has pushed you over the top as the favored grandparents. Cameron is a physical therapist and is married to a clothing executive. John owns a car dealership and is divorced. |

You went to catholic school with the same group of friends since first grade and are known as "the fourteen friends." Most of you went to Catholic colleges for undergrad and half went to secular schools for master or law degrees. You get together for beach week once a year and have a big Christmas bash at one of the houses of the nine friends who stayed in the area. The other five friends come in for the weekend. All of you are 41 and still have the same husbands you married between ages 24 and 28, except you. You had a bad first marriage at age 24 and were divorced at age 28. Your mother begged you to apply for an annulment but you refused to do so on principle. You met a nice man and married him at age 37 in a civil ceremony. By then your thirteen friends had two to six children and all the good Irish names were taken, especially Connor, which was your dream boy name. Your new husband is a sweetie and suggested Conley. At first you didn't like the name but after three days of your mother praying that you would come up with a suitable name for the child, you agree on Conley. He is the only Conley among the fourteen friends or your huge extended family. He has freckles,, blondish red hair and a smile that your husband said will endear him to girls. Or at least you think that is what he meant when he said Conley would always get lucky with women |
