ABC, This Is Me!

Thanks to Lori from Once Upon a Run for tagging me in the ABC’s of Me, a popular blogging Q&A that’s going around right now. I’ve read many of these from fellow bloggers, so it was fun to answer my own!

A. Attached or single? Attached! I am married to the love of my life and have enjoyed every moment since…well, almost. :0) Hey, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows all the time!

B. Best Friend? I have several – running and non-running! :0)

C. Cake or Pie? Depends on the flavor! Favorite cake – chocolate with whipped peanut butter icing (has been my birthday cake for the past several years); Favorite pie – banana cream pie!

D. Day of the Week? Saturday because I love long run days with my friends/running group

E. Essential Item? My phone because it helps me stay connected. My family says it’s my lifeline. Whoops.

F. Favorite Color? Teal blue and green

G. Gummy Bears or Gummy Worms? Bears

H. Hometown? Somewhere in Southwest Louisiana :0)

I. Favorite Indulgence? FroYo, music, organizing things, and a good book

FroYo

J. January or July? January is WDW Marathon weekend, a perfect pick-me-up after the holidays are over. However, I’d have to say that July is my favorite out of the two. Despite the heat here, I absolutely love summer time!

K. Kids? I have puppies. Do they count? Of course they do!!

L. Life isn’t complete without? My family….they are the absolute best.

M. Marriage Date? April 7, 2007

N. Number of brothers/sisters. Just one brother. We used to fight like crazy but we get along now…well, most of the time. Love him!

O. Oranges or apples? Apples, my favorite are Gala Apples.

P. Phobias? Falling. I hate to fall, which explains why the Tower of Terror gives me the eee-bee-gee-bees. I don’t like bridges either…especially massive tall ones that use support beams above them. Freaks me out.

Q. Favorite quote? “If you can dream it, you CAN do it!” –Walt Disney

R. Reason to smile? Life. I’m grateful each day for the gift of life. Being alive sounds like a good reason to smile to me! :0)

S. Season of Choice? Christmas, as witnessed from the photos above. Did you know that the Hallmark Channel is currently celebrating Christmas in July? At least they were this past weekend…I watched Christmas movies both Saturday AND Sunday! Exciting!!

T. Tag 5 People:

  1. Mindy @ Road Runner Girl
  2. Karen #2 @ Losing the Glass Slippers
  3. Megan @ Running Toward the Prize
  4. Sarah @ And So I Give Thanks
  5. Paige @ The Last Doughnut

U. Unknown fact about me? I quit biting my nails! YAY I tried to stop biting my nails several times in the past and always fell short. I’m not sure what did it this time, but it worked! Maybe it’s my new insane love for fingernail polish? Well, whatever it is, I like it!!

V. Favorite vegetable? Asparagus. To be honest though, I’m not a vegetable fan. I always steer towards fruit, and if you gave me the choice over a greens salad with veggies or a greens salad with fruit, I’d choose the one with fruit, 100% of the time.

W. Worst habit? Used to be biting my nails…thankfully not anymore. Now I’ll have to find a new worst habit – I have several to choose from.

X. X-Ray or Ultrasound? I’ve had both! X-Ray of my chest several years ago and X-Ray of my foot a few summers ago when I broke it. Ultrasound of an enlarged lymph node in my neck that turned out to be nothing (thankfully)!

Y. Your favorite food? Chocolate. Does that count as a “food” item?

Z. Zodiac Sign? Virgo, but I don’t really follow all of that stuff!

Thanks for following along! I’d love to hear from you as well! Tell me one unknown fact about you in the comments below! :0)

  4. Peanut butter frosting? Yum! I'm terrified of falling too! It explains why I'm such a baby going down downhills when I'm on the trails!

  5. I went through so much nail polish to quit biting my nails, but it worked. I also carry a nail file with me at all times so if a nail needs fixing, I won't try to "fix it" with my teeth.

  6. Haha! Beatcha to it! OMG, we share a HATE of falling! I cannot do ToT, I just cannot bring myself to do it and I have done every other ride at WDW. I don't like Splash b/c of the drop but EE is my favorite ride b/c the drop turns so it doesn't FEEL like falling as much. How do you feel about RnRc? I think the takeoff is so fast that I feel like I'm falling, so I hate it, but the rest of the ride is worth it, so I just count...and SCREAM! LOL

  15. Fun fact: I took a week off from reading blogs, and when I got back on (today) I remembered that one of my favorite bloggers had quit her blog and for a few minutes I thought it was you! Whew! no, just a blogger that looks like you! I am sorry she has left me, but soooo glad it wasn't you!
