I am totally copying
Nicki who borrowed if from another blog. I thought is was a fun way put a lot of info into one post & I had fun learning about Nicki:) I wanted to add pics, but this may never get posted if I add pics:)
A- My AIR CONDITIONER is set on: 73-76 depending on temp outside. I like to keep it high to save money, but there is nothing worse than waking up sweating.
B- My BEDROOM theme is: mocha brown with brown & blue linens although I would love to re-decorate because, well...that is just what I like to do:)
C- The CAR in the driveway (garage) is: my 2003 Acura TL. I have had it for 5 years, I paid it off 2 1/2 years early & it still drives like a dream.
D- My DESK looks: a mess! I never can seem to get caught up, but it is my mess & everything is in its place.
E- The EXACT time I wake up daily is: Mon-Thurs 4am, Fri-Sun 8am.
F- The FIRST thing I wash in the shower is: my face.
G- My GARAGE is filled with: cars, work bench, Christmas decorations, a fully stocked freezer & my future dining room fixture for our next house.
H- My HOUSE is: FOR SALE... two story townhouse- end unit with a garage & 3 bedrooms. I love our house & LOVE our friends, neighborhood & Blacksburg. I hate to move, but I would love to build the house that Chris & I have been looking at for months!
I- If you peeked INSIDE my bedroom you'd see: two dogs chasing each other & tugging on toys.
J- My favorite JUICE is: grapefruit juice for me & V8 fruit juice for Chris.
K- The best part of my KITCHEN is: all the space! We have a large kitchen with tons of cabinet space & countertop room, plus we added pull out drawers for easy access!
L- The LAST person who visited my home was: Home group. 15 adults, 5 kids & 2 dogs = 3 hours of fellowship
M- The last piece of MAIL for me was: my paycheck...thanks Mom:)
N- My NEIGHBORS think: our dogs are crazy. (And they are).
O- If you OPENED my fridge you'd see: watermelon (almost year round), leftovers, milk (organic skim & 1%), & lots of random condiments.
P- My last house PARTY was: Saturday, July 3rd. We had a big group over to cookout, play corn hole & watch the fireworks in the backyard. I LOVE hosting a good party.
Q- A QUICK meal I like to fix is: Trader Joe's shrimp or chicken stir fry meals...throw in a few extra veggies with spring rolls as a treat...dinner is served!
R- My favorite ROOM of the house is: my office. Not only do I work well in my yellow room, it is also my scrapbooking room, workout space for practicing Step, cozy movie watching room & it has the best couch in the house for napping!
S- The SHAMPOO brand I use is: whatever is on sale, I have a coupon for & smells good. I prefer Redken Smooth Down, but I only treat myself when I visit my Aunt Tammy & get it at the supply house!
T- My largest TELEVISION is: 42" in the living room, 32" in the bedroom & 26" in my office. 21" in the guest room...what can I say, we are TV/movie people.
U- UNDER my bed you will find: Maggie! She loves to hide out under the bed. If ever I cannot find her, she is usually napping under the bed with her beady little eyes & wet nose poking out. I think she likes the dark, cool space, plus Beau cannot get under the bed & bother her:)
V- The last time I VACUUMED was: this weekend & it is on the to do list again this afternoon. A shedding dog means I have to do this more than I would prefer!
W- Looking out my WINDOW I see: in the front of the house we have a great view of the mountains and in the back of the house a not so great view of the Christiansburg High School & the stadium.
X- I wish I had X-TRA: time this summer to do some fun reading & scrapbooking. I am looking forward to the beach to read some good books & later this summer/fall I am hoping to have a scrap day with some of the gals from home group!
Y- My YARD is: shared with everyone else in our townhouses.It is nice that we are an end unit so we have our yard, plus the common area next to us for the dogs to run. Even better that we do not have to mow thanks to our home owners association:)
Z- ZZZZZZZ My bedtime is: usually at 10pm if not earlier...keep in mind that I have to be up at 4am for work.
Until next time...
This past Saturday I concurred the Park to Park half marathon. Concurred is probably not the best word to use when describing the run. As I crossed the finish line (all but in tears), I wondered what pushed me to run this distance just 6 weeks after the Shamrock. I limped over the finish line with blisters on my feet, tears in my eyes & totally dehydrated. It was 85 degrees, humid & hilly, so needless to say I did not make my goal of 2:15, in fact, I did not even come close. It was a easy, breezy first 8 miles. In fact, I felt good. I was on a roll and cruising towards my goal to beat my previous time by 10 minutes. Then, I hit a wall at mile 9 & I totally fell apart at mile 11 when I saw my mom cheering me on. She was my saving grace & I am pretty sure I would have walked the rest of the way had it not been there telling to RUN! Although not the best running experience, I am so glad I ran, finished & had my cheerleader there! Another race under my belt, a great learning experience & lots of miles to start of running month! My goals are ever changing. I need to keep my asthma under control in order to keep up running through the summer, I hope to add miles slowly but surely with more runs per week, I am going to keep up training for another half in November in hopes to improve my time. Who knows, maybe I will upgrade to the full:) Thank you mom for being my cheerleader. Thank you Adam for making me my own BGC race shirt. Thank you Chris for supporting me in every adventure I want to tackle!
