all about me, from a-to-z

July 1, 2013      18 Comments

This is fun. Wornout Soles tagged me to complete this a-to-z survey and I had a blast. Feel free to copy and paste these questions to your own blog and join in the old-school good times.

A. Attached or Single?
 Attached. Happily married for almost 7 years.

B. Best Friend?
 This guy

C. Cake or pie? I like making cakes. I like eating pie.

D. Day of choice? I’m partial to Friday.

E. Essential Item?
 My iPhone. Music, books, internet, photos, all in one. It’s really the perfect package.

F. Favorite color? Orange. Although I’m going through a gray period. Such a perfect neutral.

G. Gummy bears or worms? Gummy bears.

H. Home town?
 A little place called Parsippany. You may have heard of it in The (original) Karate Kid. Or Seinfeld. So famous.

I. Favorite Indulgence? Ice cream sundaes.

J. January or July? July. I don’t do winter. Even southern winter. Also? Fireworks, beer and apple pie. Perfection.

K. Kids? One. He’s a Jedi. We’re lucky that way.

L. Life isn’t complete without?
 Family and friends

M. Marriage date? November 4

N. Number of brothers/sisters?
 Zero. I’m an only child.

O. Oranges or Apples? Apples. Granny Smith, please.

P. Phobias?
 Fire. Zombies. The bogeyman in the closet, and the one under the bed. Clowns.

Q. Quotes? “Comparison is the thief of joy.” – Theodore Roosevelt. “Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.” – Anonymous. “Double tap.” – Columbus, Zombieland

R. Reasons to smile?
 My life. No matter what happens, I am surrounded by people (and pugs) that I love. If that’s not a reason to smile, I don’t know what is.

S. Season of choice? Spring.

T. Tag 5 People. You. You. You, you and you. It’s fun. Play along.

U. Unknown fact about me? Well, if I tell you, then it won’t be unknown. Sheesh. I can’t give up all my secrets.

V. Vegetable? Pretty much all of them. And raw. I can’t get behind squash though, which is a shame, because it’s really good for you.

W. Worst habit? Staying up too late. Worrying too much.

X. Xray or Ultrasound? I’m going to stick with what I know and go with ultrasound.

Y. Your favorite food? Good pizza. Innovative sushi. Enchiladas verdes. I like food. It’s so hard to narrow it down.

Z. Zodiac sign? Taurus. So stubborn. So grounded.

Your turn! Blog about your own a-to-z’s or tell me what we have in common!

    I don’t like squash either. It’s.. mushy.. and weird. Just eat zucchini instead.

      I can handle raw zucchini, but that’s as far as it goes. I don’t know why it bothers me so.

      They are the best apples. If you like grilled cheese, try making one with cheddar and thinly sliced Granny Smiths. Most delicious thing ever.

      And thanks. He keeps us on our toes 🙂

      I love frosting. Can’t stand cake. Is that bizarre? I will eat the frosting from between the layers, and also pull of the bottom of cupcakes so I can eat the tops. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

      I don’t mind you being nosy at all. 🙂

      I loved being an only child. Obviously, I have nothing to compare it to, but there were a lot of benefits for me and I’m pretty happy with how my life is, so I wouldn’t want it any different.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
