And We're Back!

The long weekend was really a beautiful thing!

Thanks Ty for the:

This award comes with 7 random facts about myself and then I tag 7 people.

Here goes:

1. I found I'm better at achieving my goals alone when it comes to physical activity.  So, when I go to the gym with John, I'm not as productive as when I go alone for whatever reason.  I hate that I do that, but I've just started to notice it lately.  If it's just me, I crank through stuff and get done.  At least I've recognized this and can try to move on.

2. I become a little sad about this time of year because it's been 5 long months since I've been able to watch a live game and I'm ready for it.
CAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON GET HERE ALREADY?!
Go Gators!

3. I have an irrational fear of squishing bugs.  I cannot stand the crunch and will do anything to not feel that under my shoe, or imagine I'm hearing or feeling it when I would potentially throw something to squish the said bug.  I would rather just put a cup on top of it and wait for someone else to crunch.

4. I never really understood the Harry Potter craze that started like 10 years ago.  But, the company I work with built The Wizarding World of Harry Potter so during construction I watched a few of the movies just to see what it was all about because of how cool the models looked.  I admit I'm slightly hooked and want to read the books.  I never thought I'd see the day, but I did catch quite a bit of the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family last weekend and I'm ready for the second part of the last movie to come out because the first part was kind of a bore to me.

5.  I haven't blow dried my hair in months now.  It dries perfectly straight anyway and it saves me time in the morning.  It's dry by the time I get to work since I have a 45 minute drive.  When you basically have spiderweb-thin strands, it doesn't take much time at all.

6. When I dream, I have dreams that are so life-like I wake up wondering if it really happened.  The other night I dreamt something that made me really mad at John and had to force myself to get over because it knew it was just a dream, but it felt so real.  He's been teasing me about it since.

7. I used to eat oatmeal for breakfast every day.  Now, I'm obsessed with plain vanilla non-fat yogurt with a little granola added in with strawberry halves and blueberries.  It's such a great summer breakfast--YUM!

TAG-You're it!

Here are the ten questions:

1. Why did you create this blog?
My friend Ashley@Life After the Aisle kind of got me into it.  I was reading her's for a while and saw how great the community seemed.  I've found some fun bloggy friends and gotten good advice!  Plus, I'm in the middle of planning a wedding, as are a lot of the ladies who write the blogs I read, so it's nice to have others working through that at the same time.  Thanks Ladies!!

Anything really.  If I read your blog and it sparks an interest, I'll probably follow!

Germany.  It played such a big roll in World War II.  I really enjoy WWII history.  Plus, it's known to be beautiful!

10. Would you rather forget to put on mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?
I'd rather the blush.  I'd just wipe it off after I realized that happened.

An Award!!!


La Tache over at Smiling is Good for Your Teeth gave me this award!  Her blog has become one of my favorites to read.  She's fun to read, cheerful, and getting married soon!  Go check her out!

The rules:
7 things about myself
Choose 15 other Stylish Blogs to receive recognition

Now on to Rule #1--It's all about ME!

1) I am headed to New York City TOMORROW!!!
2) but first, I am running 10 miles with my friend Ashley really early for our LAST long training run before the race!
3) My favorite color is pink.
4) I much prefer warm weather to cold.  I like cold in spurts.  I'm comfortable in warm weather long term.
5) My favorite meal is a toss up.  Beef Stroganoff vs. Any Mexican food!
6) Lily (my dog) and I have separation anxiety issues.  I think it stems from the fact that she gets worried sick (literally) when I leave her and I can't explain to her that I'll be  back soon.  The next few weeks are going to be rough.
7) I have to shave every day.  I cannot stand having stubble on my legs.  I've been like this, well, since I started shaving.  It probably won't change and is quite inconvenient at times!

Now for Rule #2: It's all about YOU!
