Mary Beth, my fellow ZOOMA Florida Ambassador, over at Tutus and Tennies, posted this little getting-to-know-you-better challenge, that she found via The Fit Foodie Mama. Since today, January 1, is going to be a light day, as we recover from staying up way too late and help Mr PugRunner celebrate his birthday, I decided to play along.
Four names people call me other than my real name:
- Mom
- Jenn
- J-Vo
- I don’t think I have another one. People don’t seem to give me nicknames.
Four jobs I have held:
- cashier at Michael’s
- receptionist at an employment recruiting office
- advertising manager for a shipping magazine
- marketing director for a sporting event
Four movies I have watched more than once:
- Gone With The Wind
- Rudy
- Star Wars
- Steel Magnolias
- *this question is kind of unfair because I love movies and watch tons of them repeatedly. It would be easier to pull four I HAVEN’T watched more than once.
Four books I would recommend:
- She’s Come Undone – Wally Lamb
- Les Miserables – Victor Hugo
- The Book Thief – Marcus Zusak
- Harry Potter series – JK Rowling
- again, as an avid reader, it’s hard to stop at just four. Or even forty. But these are the four that came to my mind first.
Four places I have been:
- Rome
- Venice
- Paris
- London
Four things I don’t eat:
- Runny eggs
- Oranges
- Jello
- Most meats
Four of my favorite foods:
- Sushi – a good spicy tuna roll goes a long way
- Ice cream
- Baked potatoes
- Brie
Four TV shows I watch:
- Game of Thrones
- Gotham
- The People’s Couch
- Outlander
- I really just don’t watch TV, so this list was actually hard to compile. It would be nice to be able to get into a show but so few hold my interest and I get distracted and never come back to them.
Four things I am looking forward to in 2015:
- Finishing my first marathon
- Family vacation
- A girls’ trip with my mom
- Spending time with family and friends.

Happy New Year!
love it! Can’t wait to meet in person! Thanks for playing along 🙂
So exciting! Thanks for the idea!
Fun lists! I think I started this one once and I got stuck on the nicknames. Maybe I’ll try again. Maybe I DO have nicknames that I don’t know about! LOL! Your favorite food list is so diverse!

LOL! I really don’t have a lot of nicknames. I don’t know why.
I love food. It’s hard to pick just four.
I have heard Outlander is great. I’ll have to find a way to watch it, it isn’t on any of the channels I get.

Amazing. The books are better, of course, but I do love the show to pieces. I don’t do any streaming or anything like that, so I have no idea how to watch stuff that isn’t in our DTV lineup.
Oh I love this, and I hope you don’t mind, but I will use this theme for a blog post later this month.
I couldn’t read she’s come undone. A friend recommended it, and I got about a 3rd of the way, and I was like “i just can’t invest anymore in this book, it’s just not doing it for me”. I do love harry potter though.
Books can be a funny thing when it comes to recommendations.

I don’t mind at all! The more the merrier!
I think I was so amazed at how Wally Lamb wrote such a complex and true female character. I also really, really, really related to Dolores in a lot of ways, so I’m sure that helped. I love all his books and his writing style, though.
With books, I tend to go for deeper, darker stories and writing quality and character development. I don’t usually enjoy the light, syrupy stuff, but go for the more uncomfortable literature. The longer the better, because I can tear through a book in hours.
