“I know, right?”
“Good job!”– to my kids at school
“I don’t know” (Rob says that I say this all the time)
That’s all I can think of…
Four People I’m Tagging To Do This Next:
Where would you rather be right now?
What is something you’re looking forward to this year?
What are some of your favorite foods or foods you don’t eat?
I’d totally go back to Hawaii myself. Not just because our best friends live there, but it’s such a beautiful place to visit from time to time.
How’d you like studying abroad in London?
If I had friends in Hawaii I would be there all the time! Its so amazing.
I loved being in London, but I actually spent so much of my time there traveling to other places whenever I could. That was what was nice about being in England and being able to travel to a lot of other cities throughout Europe.
Was just thinking of the movie Bridesmaids for some reason, hysterical! I would love to travel to all the places you’ve been. And Hawaii sounds good about now since it’s below freezing out.
All I have been thinking about this week is going somewhere warm!
I don’t think I knew that you don’t eat sushi. I didn’t eat it for like the first 30 years of my life and boy was I missing out. I don’t eat much fish at all but I make exceptions for certain sushi rolls!
I have tried sushi twice and I just can’t eat it! Not sure what it is, but I don’t think I’d even be open to trying it again. I really only eat salmon and a few mild types of white fish. Im just not a big seafood eater!
Thanks for the tag! I’m looking forward to doing this 🙂
I won’t share too much, but right now I wish I was at home. Next year I’m looking forward to starting externships and placements for school.
Looking forward to hearing the rest of your answers:)
Haha, I am right with you in “watching” whatever the hubs is watching. Thus why I know so much about football and bball even though I have little to no interest in it! I would love to go to the places that you said you have been (I’ve been to a few, but Ireland and Switzerland would be amazing!).
Switzerland was really great and different! I went snowboarding and skydiving there!
I love that you balanced out your four favorite foods with two healthy ones and two indulgent ones! Balance! haha
So exciting that your marathon is just around the corner now!!! 🙂
Haha yes- its all about balance!
Hawaii sounds so nice right now. It was 26 degrees when I drove into work.
Yea it was in the 20s for me too!! So cold and windy today- I would much rather be in Hawaii!
These are definitely fun lists 🙂
I am not ready for the near-0 wind chills this week, regardless of what my running history says! I would love to be someplace warm. Not even ‘hot’ … someplace where it was about 40 for my 4AM run would be just perfect 🙂
As to what I am looking forward to … not sure. To much crap going on around thanksgiving to say I am looking forward to anything but getting past it with everyone healthy, then there is so much swquished between then and the end of the year …well, same thing. Oh well …
I feel like we missed out on the 40 degree runs this year! Weren’t we were JUST complaining about the cold and now its back again! I hear ya on just being so busy over the next few weeks. Im trying to just make the most of it:)
Anywhere warm for sure…oh and I don’t eat veal or lamb either!
I haven’t tried veal or lamb since I was a kid but at this point I am ok just not eating it:) As yes warm weather PLEASE!
I don’t eat broccoli, love veggies, just not broccoli.
Good luck with the marathon!!
Oh man I can’t believe you don’t like broccoli! Its always been my favorite vegetable! I think I was the only 3 year old who LOVED it!
I agree! Anywhere warm would be great. Even in Vegas this past weekend it wasn’t as warm as we had hoped. I am really enjoying reading Gone Girl. Hope to see movie before it leaves theater.
I want to see Gone Girl too, but may just wait and get it on netflix. Im cheap about spending money to go to the movies:) I can’t believe that even Vegas wasnt warm!
I’m in total agreement over preferring to be somewhere warm right now! Preferably somewhere tropical 🙂
I love peppers & onions. Don’t like sweet potatoes though- think I had too many during the Whole 30 Challenge.
Wow no sweet potatoes?! I don’t know how I would survive lately without them:)
Ha! Thank for tagging me. Looks fun 🙂
Looking forward to reading your answers:)
I would definitely love to be any place warmer than this! Ugh, I am dreading tonight’s workout. Since we are talking about carpooling to the marathon…I guess I will go then! 🙂 I will get on this later this week! I will use it to take my mind off the marathon, too! 🙂
Good luck tonight! I went out this morning and it was rough!!
Your books are like looking at my kindle home page! I used to have a long list of foods that I didn’t eat but now there’s not much left that I won’t try although I’m still a little skittish about shellfish (oysters – I just can’t) although I did accidentally eat octopus (tentacles included) once.
I don’t really like shellfish either! I used to be a much pickier eater than I am now!
