Fun Facts Friday - Q & A

Today is a rainy, dreary, and cold Friday. But you know what? I totally don't care. I'm just happy that it's Friday and my rest day. Even better, I'm getting my hair cut after work, right after PT actually.

Oh, I'm also happy that I was tagged again for the 11 Random Questions posts going around (twice). This makes Fun Facts Friday a breeze ;-) But I hope it's still fun. I don't know about you guys, but I like reading answers and learning about bloggers. Sometimes I'm surprised actually. Plus, it can be fun to deviate from the standard posts.

Since most of you have been tagged or already seen this a few times, I'm just going to skip right to the questions that were posed for me to answer. Some were really hard to answer by the way!

Questions from Samantha at Running and Cupcakes:
  1. What is your #1 go to workout song? Oh, not sure I have an absolute #1. I always start a run with Eminem's 'Till I Collapse
  2. If you had to choose 3 foods to eat for the rest of your life (and nothing else) what would they be? Oatmeal, Pizza, Peanut Butter
  3. If you were given an unlimited vacation budget – but it had to be used on ONE trip – where would you go and why? Italy to see where my great-grandfather lived.
  4. What are you more afraid of: snakes or spiders? Snakes
  5. Puppies or kitties? Do you have any? Puppies - I have 2 crazy cocker spaniels 
  6. What dead rockstar would you bring back if you could? Kirk Cobain (first thing that popped into my head)
  7. What is the most random thing you collect (or have collected?)? Maybe Garbage Pail Kid Cards? I think I still have them actually.
  8. What one article of clothing (or accessory) do you have to wear every single day? Shoes??? LOL
  9. If you could only eat FRUITS or VEGGIES, but not both, which would you choose? Veggies
  10. Beach or mountains? Why? Beach - um, what's the name of my blog again ;-)
  11. What is your favorite band EVER? I think this is impossible to narrow down. I have several sort of for different reasons though. Like Guns n' Roses, Aerosmith, Tori Amos, but I don't really listen to these all the time anymore. See, tough question.
Questions form Jolene at Determined to Be
  1. What is your biggest fear? Losing loved ones
  2. How tall are you? 5'2" (but last doc visit they said 5' 1/2" - I'm denying this)
  3. How many boyfriends or girlfriends have you had in your life? Serious serious or just "seeing" each other?
  4. What is your favorite food? Pizza

  9. What was the first blog you ever read? OR Why did you start a blog (answer depending on which you are – a reader or a writer, or both!) Oh man, I can't remember the first one I read. I started blogging because Jason thought it might be a good way for me to do something I enjoy (write) and make some extra money. No money, but lots of friends!
  10. iPhone? Droid? Blackberry? Droid
  11. What errand do you hate the most? Or cleaning chore? Putting clothes away
Now it's your turn! You can answer all, some, one or just tell me something else totally random. But you gotta play along ;-)

Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Rest day
  • Happy hour with friends
  • Hair cut
  • Reading your responses (hint hint)

Let's Have Coffee

If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...

Jewelry and Overcoming the Fear of Failure

I guess I can blame this little hobby on Pinterest - jewelry making. More specifically, metal-stamped jewelry. Wasting time, skimming through Pinterest or seeing people posting pics of metal-stamped bracelets or necklaces, I thought, "hey, surely I can do that." So I started pinning ideas, looking up how-to videos, ordering the tools. Boxes of tools, gadgets and goods started arriving on the daily. I know my husband was really excited. Yep, I was going to do this! I felt like the child set free in a toy store. I didn't even know where to begin exactly. But I had some ideas. Lots and lots of ideas. I'm an idea girl as you'll soon learn. I set out my tools of the trade, all neat and tidy on my kitchen table ready to begin. Luckily, my husband who sits back and watches stepped in with some ideas on ways I could practice the stamping without using the more expensive washers and bars I'd so eagerly purchased. Smart man. What I didn't take into considerati...
