It looks like it will just be a tropical storm, but we might get Friday off work if that thing speeds up. Plus, I think storms are pretty neat. It's amazing how a force like that can come together and become so powerful. I would never wish a big storm anywhere, but a tropical storm or category 1...I'll take it. My dad and I would always go out and watch the storms blow through. When I was young I remember tropical storm/hurricane days being days where you hung around the house with the family, dad made pancakes, and it rained a lot. I know they can be dangerous, but they're kind of exciting too! We will see what the end of the week and the weekend brings. Hopefully, it's a free vacay day on Friday!!

Woo! I love Hurricane Parties! I so hope I get Friday off! (and hope Emily doesnt cause too much damamge)
Happy 1 year!!! I can't name ONE favorite candy. I like chocolate (dark) in general but I also love swedish fish...only the red kind. <3
Be careful in the storm, that is one reason I don't miss living in Fl all the TERROR that comes with hurricanes headed your way!
Also - I'm a follower. My favorite candy is.. GUMMY WORMS! YUMMY!
Check out my FREE fundraiser for my local humane society... http://birminghambachelorette.blogspot.com/2011/08/americas-next-pet-tv-star.html
My favorite workout is
20 min elliptical
p90x ab ripper video
10 min fast walk with Reese, my pup!
My favorite work out (currently) is P90X 10 minute workout series. Seriously...is the bomb right now as I am struggling to get my workout routine back. One day I do intense cardio workout in 10minutes and the other I do a full body workout in 10 minutes. AWESOME :)
My favorite part about blogging is the friendship I've made. People are more real on blogs than I think they are in person, maybe it's just the type of person who blogs that puts themselves out there.
The best thing about blogging, hands down, is the relationships and meeting up with local bloggers :)
I get a little excited when the weather is dramatic too--my hubby gets upset, and thinks I shouldn't be excited! Great giveaway!
I'm definitely a follower!
Favorite candy is a tough one--I think jawbreakers are my fave!
:)
The best thing about blogging is getting to know so many like minded people. I love it!
Favorite workout? Long slow run days. Especially when I get up early, knock out 10-12 miles, then get to come home, ice bath, and eat and sleep for the rest of the day, haha!
:)
right now my favorite candy is milky way minis =)
LOVE hurricane parties! They always wanted to miss the Gulf side, though .. boooo. I love Twix. I'd eat em all day.
Favorite workout is always a good run. A good, long, sweaty run ... that and a night out dancing :)
I'm kind of hoping for the tropical storm too...John wouldn't be able to mow which means more time with me! =) WOO! =) Maybe we can have a hurricane party breakfast or something =)
I grew up in Virginia Beach and can acutally say I have experienced a hurricane! Very scary!
i follow you!
I'm a follower and my fav candy is PB m&ms!
best thing about blogging: finding new "friends" who support you and understand you, especially involving frustrations with running
Everyone up here gets SO excited about snowstorms in the wintertime! Be careful in the storm!
I know what you mean- I LOVE thunderstorms, but I'd never wish for a truly dangerous one.
hope you get Friday off too and the storm doesn't cause too much damage. unfortunately my cruise was last week or else I might be in the storm this week, yikes! Road ID is a must have for anyone exercising by themselves especially girls, what a great giveaway!
I am a follower! And my favorite candy is skittles!
My favorite workout is interval running 3-4 miles...I usually run 4 minutes/walk 2 minutes.
The best thing about blogging is the accountability!
I'm a follower, of course, and my favorite candy is probably Reese's.
I love the people I've met blogging ... I haven't had any bloggys turned IRL friends, but I hope to meet some soon!
I have that same water bottle. :-) Since I have it, I'm not entering. But I did want to say, that if Emily wants to interupt my 18 mile run on Saturday morning, she is welcome to.
I blogged about the giveaway!

Oh, and I threw it on the ol' blog :)

I'm a follower. And my favorite chocolate is heath bar, and my favorite non-chocolate are sour patch fruits. (I could go on about my love of candy.)
My favorite workout is running, duhhh! I think after I hit that 2 mile mark when I get in the zone and my mind fades away and I find myself smiling because I'm just in such a happy place and so grateful to be powering through that nothing else in life matters.
The best thing about blogging? I have to pick one? I guess it's meeting other people. Or "meeting." I love getting to know other people through their blogs and developing real friendships, despite never having met in real life.
