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.

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!

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?!

We are supposed to see temps in the 90s this weekend and I am 100% not about it!

I won’t be racing this weekend: instead I’ve got some work, some volunteering, and another event on Sunday. Looking forward to all of it!

Are you running long or racing this weekend? Tell me about it!

This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville ev This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville event at the @theglassfactory, presented by @yelpjacksonville and @market.and.mimosas!

Is it possible to be overwhelmed by so much amazing talent, creativity and awesome woman power? 

From the iconic “my phone eats first” tote to the gorgeous party wall lined with craft mimosas, to the silent disco headphones and all the vendors and food/drink samples! Swoon.

I shopped, ate, drank and chatted my way around the venue, and enjoyed every second of it. What a way to celebrate Women’s History Month, and all of the incredible female entrepreneurs, business owners and bosses in Jax and NE Florida!

Five stars. Would do again in a heartbeat!

35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down 35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down walk in the beautiful sunshine.

I am not a huge fan of gym equipment like the treadmill or the elliptical: I find it boring and often times awkward. That being said, I’m working through a training plan from @runsmartofficial and trusting the process.

Did you get your fitness inside or out today? How do you feel about the elliptical?

Knock knock! Rolling through another Wednesday of Knock knock!

Rolling through another Wednesday of miles! It was not a great run (i got something in my contact and had to go home to flush it out!) but the company stellar as usual (@montarriba) and future me will say thank you for sticking it out.

I’ve got a busy day with some writing, a few emails and a trip to @danielle904beauty so stay tuned for that glow up!

How is your Wednesday? How are you rolling?

Let’s talk about balance. Balance is an area wh Let’s talk about balance.

Balance is an area where I sometimes struggle, physically and emotionally. It can be a challenge to fit in all the things I want and all the things I need. I don’t always love doing the mundane or tedious tasks that ultimately lead to the foundations of the things I am more passionate about.

I am taking a little more time to build on the basics, and find my balance. It’s going to lead to a healthier and happier me.

How do you find your balance? Do you struggle with the basics?

Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run.

I worked through some cardio under the blue skies and in the fresh air and then came home to @runsmartofficial’s base building boot camp. 

There was A LOT of focus on balance and feet and ankles, as well as ground work in the form of different planks and push-ups. 

The movements were small but effective and my legs are certainly burning! It’s going to get harder as we go, but I’m excited to spend more time on my stability and form, to see if it makes me stronger and more efficient over time.

What was on your workout calendar today?
