What’s up blog world? I have been stalking reading your blogs for about a year now and I’m finally ready to start my own. I tried blogging at the beginning of the year but a 20 credit college course load and a job just made blogging too stressful. Now that it’s summertime and the living is easy, I finally have the time I need to do it up right 🙂 I guess I should start off with a ‘lil info about myself..
So, ok, I’ll admit something right off the bat. I used to go to leadership camp when I was in high school because I was a nerd. Because I got such quality (ha!) training, I figured an ice breaker activity might be the best way to let ya’ll know who I be am.
- Welcome to my blog :0)
- If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get? Oatmeal!! It’s an obsession of mine you’ll see as I start blogging
- If you were an animal, what would you be and why? A peshetarian Bear (because I don’t eat fish, yuck) …They sleep all the time, they’re adorable, and they know whats up,
- What is one goal you’d like to accomplish during your lifetime? Open an ice cream shoppe
- When you were little, who was your favorite super hero and why? My American Girl Doll, Samantha because she always seemed to save the day (spiderman who?)
- Who is your hero? (a parent, a celebrity, an influential person in one’s life) My older sister, Megan – she is the absolute best role model.
- What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer? Hike and go for ice cream with my friends
- If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be and why? I would be the “Mail Street Special” from my local ice cream shoppe. It’s coffee ice cream with big chocolate chunks and marshmallows swirled in (HOLY YUM). I would be this ice cream because I’m energetic (like coffee!), I’m a chocoholic, and I’m fun (who can argue that marshmallows aren’t fun?)
- What’s your favorite cartoon character, and why? Charlie Brown, poor little guy. He’s just so cute.
- If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go and why? I’m dying to go to Austrailia and go sky diving, but I would honestly go anywhere and everywhere if I could!
- What’s the ideal dream job for you? To be the next Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel
- Are you a morning or night person? Morning!
- What are your favorite hobbies? Going to history museums, reading blogs, journaling, hiking, trying new foods
- What are your pet peeves or interesting things about you that you dislike? Debbie Downers, One-Uppers, and unnessecary rudeness
- What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? Blutwurst. I studied abroad in Germany last summer. Blutwurst is sausage without any of the blood drained out…ugggh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Next question.
- Name one of your favorite things about someone in your family. My dad is a police chief 🙂
- Tell us about a unique or quirky habit of yours. I always carry a hanky and I can chirp like a baby bird
- If you had to describe yourself using three words, it would be…Smiley, Gracious, Sarcastic
- If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction? I’d be the best friend side-kick in a romantic comedy
- If I could be anybody besides myself, I would be…Queen of England!!
Other facts about me
- I am aspiring high school history teacher
- I am gluten intolerant, and I try to avoid it at all costs. I find that it does not restrict my diet that much -hence – “Aint nothing but a G thing”
- I live in New York but go to school in Washington, DC
- I will be the Maid of Honor in TWO weddings next summer…yikes
- I love going for long walks and trying new types of exercises
- I’m obsessed with my yellow lab Bailey
- I’m a wedding caterer …so fun. I basically do the Cha-Cha slide every time a work. Not too shabby, eh??
Becaue I am a college student, I like simple, fast and inexpensive food! Since reading your blogs I have tried to expand my taste buds without deflating my wallet. Here’s a look at what I’ve eaten so far today…:-)
Note: I went for a 3-mile run yesterday and worked a grueling ten hour shift (I sat down once!) so I woke up ready to eat a small child very hungry!
What a better way to enter into the blog world than with a GREEN MONSTER!
That’s my sister in the background – she doesn’t approve of the monster. Isn’t she going to make a gorgeous bride? haha
My 7AM Monster included
* Huge handful of spinach, 1 tbsp flax seed, 1/2 cup almond breeze, splash of water, blackberries, strawberries (I think the blackberries took away from the green..)
Around ten I had some oatmeal with a whopping tsp of Trader Joe’s crunchy pb with more blackberries and some crack coffee with splenda and milk
I have to work today at three o’clock so I try to do the majority of my eating (haha) before work because most of the things I can snack on at work are not-gluten free or sinfully fattening (flashback to the bites of Dark Chocolate Raspberry Ganache dessert I tried last night!)
At noon I was…still hungry…so I have 2 Van’s Gluten Free Waffles with a pat of butter and organic maple syrup
I would definately recommend this GF product…they are so light as compared to many GF products which can be extremely dense.
YUM…
I have to go run some errands and get to work; I will update tonight with a recap of the rest of the day’s eats.
Because I am such a history nerd, I plan on ending my posts with fun(ny) history facts for you guys.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY 🙂 I look forward to reading your comments and keeping up on your blogs.
