Liebster Award and Winner

August 10, 2012

 
Melissa was kind enough to nominate me for the esteemed Liebster award. Thank you Melissa!
First, 11 random things about me:
  1. My favorite, I mean least hated household chore is laundry. I feel especially accomplished when I wash a boatload of workout wear.
  2. Things are finally taking off in our community garden and I’m having a Squashapalooza: roasted pattypan squash to die for the other day, zucchini bread last night, the adventure continues!
  3. School starts in less than 2 weeks! For the first time, both kids will go all day. Oh the possibilities.
  4. The school supply dept. at Tarjay was a battle royal yesterday.
  5. I read a newspaper (in paper form) everyday and get all grumpy if it’s not delivered by 5:30am. AARP here I come.
  6. While I adore winter and winter running, my idea of the perfect vacation is something beachy and Carribbean.
  7. My first job was selling popcorn at a movie theater.
  8. I worked/scholarshipped my way through college/grad school.
  9. My most fun job was being a hair model. See #8. Having people pamper and swoon over my hair was kind of nice.
  10. My first car was a 1969 Chevy Camaro. I thought it was an old piece of junk but wow it was a guy magnet. Horrible in the snow though…
  11. I ran my first ever 5k with my sister in 2000, then didn’t race again for 5 years.
11 Questions from Melissa…
  1. What is your favorite brand of workout clothes? I’ll go with Nike.
  2. What is your favorite time of day? Sunrise.
  3. What is one store you could max out your credit card in? Probably nowhere because I’m too much of a cheapskate to ever do that. But on the off chance I had too many Kombuchas I suppose I could max it out pretty easily at Athleta.
  4. What is your dream job? Olympic reporter on the Today Show 
  5. Would you rather vacation in Alaska or Bermuda? I’ve never been to Alaska (going next summer though) so I’ll pick Bermuda.
  6.  What is your favorite game? Peggle
  7.  Mac or PC? PC
  8.  Would you rather text, talk, or email? Text, but never while driving of course.
  9. What are three adjectives you would use to describe yourself? Optimistic, Strong, Silly.
  10. Which is better, peanut butter or almond butter? Almond butter.
  11. Would you rather live on a lake or on an ocean? Ocean.
 Now to spread the love: Consider yourself tagged if you commented on my last post about injury.  Because I am a lazy sack, please answer the same questions Melissa asked me.
Bulu Box Winner!
Louise Cunningham come on down! Please email me with your shipping address and I’ll get you set up. Thanks to everyone for entering! Thanks to Bulu Box for sponsoring!
Remember I’ve got a Pretty Muddy race entry up for grabs!

    How does one become a hair model? That is awesome!

    I’m too cheap to max out my credit card on clothes too. How sad for us.

    Hair model would be pretty great. I don’t mind laundry…any job where you spend most of the time waiting for a machine to do the work isn’t so bad. 🙂

    Can I pay you to do my laundry? LOL So awesome you’re going to Alaska next summer…uber jealous! I also love seeing the sunrise. 🙂 Thanks for answering and participating! Oh, and I’ve never heard of Peggle before!

    1. Bermuda is my favorite place in the world.
    2. Ocean – fo sho
    3. Laundry!?!?!?!!? Do you think maybe I hate it because I have to bring 2 things down to the basement (I’m on the 6th floor) and do 8 loads of laundry at once?

    Alaska is my favorite place in the world.

    Enjoy having both kiddos in school all day this year, that’s exciting! I’m with you- way too cheap to ever max out my credit card! I’m cracking up about your first car being a guy magnet. 🙂

    Amen to #1! Since I am a teacher, and currently on break, most of my laundry consists of workout gear, and that makes me happy:)

    I’m looking forward to when all 4 go to school all day…but I still have a couple years to wait – I should say a couple more years to enjoy:)

    Only 1 goes to school all day this year, only 12 more days though!

    AK! If you have any time in Seattle before/after your AK trip, I’m happy to recommend fun things to do in town or host a run. Or maybe you’re not laying over here?

    I used to get the paper delivered to my apartment complex and people would always steal it- I’d get SO MAD!!!!

    Interesting post, we have many things in common, for instance winter running and the vacation.
    Sorry for your list of injures!

    A 1969 Chevy Camaro was your first car? Very nice! I love older cars.

    Funny story – your Laundry one made me realize I forgot to start the laundry when the kiddo went down for her nap – thanks for the reminder! 😀

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your article seem to be running off the
    screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue
    or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to
    let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Cheers

    Thee authokrities who do the arrest are required to inform
    the suspect about these rights. If you need to hire criminal lawyers in Melbourne, the best way is to browse different websites and find an online law firm thatt deals in criminal cases.
    In a world or problems andd imperfection, the PI simply attempts to bring justice and peace to the individuals wronged.

    obviously like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on quite a
    few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality
    however I’ll surely come again again.

    There’s certainly a lot to find out about this topic.
    I love all of the points you’ve made.

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
