Beautiful Blogger Award
28 Jan
(I know, TWO posts in one day. Crazyness! When I’m on a roll I just go with it!)
I was tagged in the “Beautiful Blogger Award” by Jill, over at Jill Will Run recently. Part of the game is to post 7 random facts about yourself in a post on your site. These things come around every so often, but I do enjoy disclosing random facts about myself, so here goes:
1. I LOVE the soft inside of brand new sweatshirt. I went to Kohl’s last weekend and bought 3 new sweatshirts! Such a waste of money when I already own plenty of sweatshirts but I don’t care. I just love snuggling into the soft fleece. I wonder if they’ll stay soft if I dry clean them?!
2. I’m NOT very spontaneous. I like to plan and know what’s coming far in advance, especially when it comes to running. But this week I have broken out of my box! On Monday I was surfing Active.com and realized there is a small, inexpensive half marathon being run this weekend only an hour from my house. I thought about it for 24 hours and Tuesday night, I signed up. How’s that for spontaneity? I thought it pretty comical that Active wanted to sell me an online “Training Plan” for the race. Really? I only have 4 days left to train!!
3. I have known my best friend Jackie since the 3rd grade. We bonded playing barbies and have been best friends ever since.
4. I have an older half sister I did not know existed until I was 23 years old! Its really a neat story. My mom gave her up for adoption 10 years before I was born and 38 years later they reunited. She’s super cool! She totally fits in in my family. I get to see her and my two neices again in April. I am very excited.
5. I HATE the taste of fish. Even more, I HATE HATE HATE the smell of it!
6. I secretly want a mini cooper. Ok it’s not that much of a secret. Unfortunately it doesn’t make a good family car, and our next vehicle is probably going to need to be one.
7. I am ashamed to say that I throw away most our leftovers along with the plastic container. Not only do we waste the most of the food, we waste the container because I’m so easily grossed out. I need to buy stock in Glad and Ziplock. Maybe I’ll recoup some of my losses!
Now I need to tag some bloggers to also get this award. I tag:
Ariana at ArianaHilborn.com
Lauren at Failed Muffins
Anne at Run DMZ
Lindsay at Chasing the Kenyans
Lauren at Sassy Molassy
Thanks for the tag! This is fun…I’ll have to think of 7 random things about me.
I want a mini cooper too! When I got my Jetta in 2005 I wanted a mini, but we were replacing my Neon… a car that my husband already found too tiny and uncomfortable. And while he wouldn’t be driving it all the time, I guess it would only be polite to have the car be one that BOTH of us could drive!
Thanks for playing! I always love learning new random things about my bloggy friends!
Hey thanks for stopping by my blog! I used to struggle with being spontaneous but I am working on it!
I think we have a ton in common! (Ok, I pretty much survive on fish, though, since I can’t eat red meat…and I make a huge batch of something on Sunday and eat leftovers for the whole work week….)
thanks for the tag! (very belated, i know)
i looove new sweatshirts too. or fleece jackets. or fleece blankets… but then it always gets bumpy/not soft and that is a huge bummer
Thanks for the tag. I am playing hookey from my homework, but I’ll drum up 7 things within the next few days – and I hate the smell of fish too!
Yet another post that reminds me I’ve got to write up this post! (Really, that is meant as a thank you. I’m trying hard to think of good things to talk about.)
I agree, whoever thought up the idea of fleece, is a genius. Really. Is there any better fabric out there? I doubt it!
Ditto on fish. Ugh, disgusting. LOL
