11 Random Things about Me
1. I regret buying a black Manduka because even though I exfoliate my feet several times a week with a pumice stone in the shower, there is always dead skin on my mat 15 minutes into class. Gross! and kinda embarrassing.
2. I am a true morning person. My most productive hours of the day are between 6-10am. By 4:00 I’m worthless and I often head up to bed around 8.
3. I believe a double sink in the bathroom is imperative to preservation of my marriage. As is a dvr.
4. My most annoying habit is picking at my cuticles.
5. I love traveling, but I don’t particularly enjoy the flying part. The whole process is a test of my self-control and patience.
6. For tonight, my dvr is set to record: The Bachelor, Real Housewives of BH, and Watch What Happens Live
7. I will not finish a book that doesn’t draw me in within the first 10-15 pages. This is why Born to Run is still sitting on my bookshelf unread.
8. I subscribe to Runner’s World, House Beautiful, and Bon Appetite.
9. My favorite cocktail is a double Grey Goose on the rocks.
10. I sleep on the same side of the bed even when my husband is away. I don’t even creep into the middle.
11. I hate writing.
Kristen’s Questions (the blogger who tagged me is also named Kristen)
1- When you’re in a job interview, what do you use as your “weakness”? (you know, the weakness that you can turn into a positive somehow) I like to follow ridged schedules and get easily irritated by people who can’t do things in a timely and efficient manner or are consistently late.
2- What is your favourite food? previously it was fresh seared scallops, but currently I can’t get enough pineapple
3- Why did you start blogging? To join a supportive and fun running community
4- If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go? Australia
5- If you’re a runner, biker, triathlete, or any other sort of racer, what race is tops on your bucket list? Probably a marathon in Australia
6- What is your dream job? Judge, but without having to abide by all those pesky laws.
7- Who is your celebrity crush? there are a few, but the longest standing one is Matthew McConaughey.
8- Did you or do you play an instrument? No. There is not one musically inclined bone in my body.
9- What is your favourite “guilty pleasure” movie? (you know, the one that you like to pretend you didn’t love) Tropic Thunder. So stupid yet so funny.
10- If you had to pick a last meal, what would you pick? seared scallops and risotto followed by warm apple pie with a side of vanilla ice cream all washed down with a very expensive Syrah
11- Ben and Jerry’s or Haagen Dazs? Haagen Dazs. More specifically Haagen Dazs ice cream bars with almonds
My questions
1. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Dealing with dead skin on feet is annoying, embarrassing and high maintenance. I tend to the dead skin on my heels daily, yet low and behold whenever I get a pedicure, they still have tomshave off 15 layers of grossness. And then they laugh at my expense. It’s so humiliating. I feel your pain.
I didn’t know that was your favorite cocktail, but I love that it is. Good to know.:
I hope this isn’t replacing your Wednesday post.
yum, grey goose. Love it with a bleu cheese stuffed olive when it’s a martini. yum.
I used to work at house beautiful! It was my first job out of college. I still have a HB mug. : )
I wish I was a morning person, I’m usually still up at 11:30!
Thanks for the tag!
I am a morning person myself! I could have written that line the exact same way!
I too am a morning person–so glad I’m not the only one that goes to bed early! I also sleep on the same side of the bed regardless of whether Justin is home or not…even when I travel for work and am in a hotel I don’t sleep in the middle, it’s just weird!
I’ve been running ragged with work the past two weeks but I’ll get to this post eventually
.
How is the bump?!?!
I really should get on board and do this because it fun to read! So funny about Born To Run..I was like this too with that book. I finally got into it and then it fizzled again. Oh and I’m the same with the sleeping on the same kind of bed. You don’t like to write and you have a blog??? ha! Lovin’ your bump! Congrats!
I’m definitely more productive in the morning too, especially that hour before the kids get up. Trick is to actually get up an hour before the kids.
Ooh, blog fodder – now I have something to post about
Man would I kill for some dessert after that comment. And risotto. Mmmmmm.
Um, loved every sentence you wrote about yourself. I could literally comment on all of them but that would be annoying. Plus, I have to watch RHofBH from last night (thank you DVR). And um the 2 sinks in the bathroom, for sure.
Oh and I had no idea a yoga mat was called a Manduka. Thanks for the info.
Can’t wait to read tomorrow’s update. The upside to being so far behind on your blog? A new one comes out tomorrow! Yippeee!
I am having the same issues with Born to Run, for the exact same reason! I’ve even tried 3 or 4 times, but blah.
Anyway, how cute are you with your little baby bump! Sounds like you are having a good pregnancy so far. I lost about 8 lbs in the first trimester with my daughter, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the weight loss. I chalked it up to drinking less wine, soda, and eating better!!!
Tropic Thunder is indeed hilarious. Plus it has Jay Baruchel in it and I love him.
Goodness. This made my day, LOL… I’ll do this tonight for sure
I have the same rule with books – by if page 50 I’m not hooked, I put it away.
