7 Random Things

Kim, a fellow Houston blogger at To Dream the KIMPossible Dream, nominated me for the award & I love that she’s one of my few “in real life” friends that I knew before blogging.  Thanks for helping me get back into the blogging routine & share some of my randomness- since my life has been insanely random lately!

The rules of this nomination are:

I get to tell you seven random things about myself as well as pass on the award to seven other great bloggers (see below).

Nominees, in order to accept this award you must:

-Thank and link back to the person who awarded you
-Write seven random things about yourself.
-Award seven other awesome and inspiring bloggers.

1. Robe- I wear a robe every morning & admitting this makes me feel like a grandma!  We keep our house really cold at night & I need something to throw while I wake up reading news/blogs and before my morning run or getting ready for my day.  It’s the most practical and warm thing, so Sorry- I’m not sorry!

2.Earrings- For some reason, I’ve always wanted to get a my ears pierced again.  Let me just save you the trouble and do NOT Google ear piercings!  This is the best photo I could find- either another set just above my existing ones that I’d wear studs in the upper and hoops/outfit accessories in the lower.  The other thing I think would be cool is a single upper hoop on the outer ear like above.  Being honest, I also adore the tiny nose studs that are so small they are barely visible. I’d never have the nerve to do that  piercing, but I think they are nice.

3. Eat & Drink- Whenever I have an adult beverage in my hand, especially wine, I need to be snacking. Food & drink just have to go together in my little world.  My favorite wine-sipping snacks are cashews, wheat thins, chocolate cheese, triscuit nachos (with melted cheese).

4. Raman Noodles & Spaghetti O’s – I’m not much of a chef & my favorite comfort foods are still Ramen noodles & Spaghetti O’s (only without the meatballs).  Something about the warm foods when I’m cold or perhaps replenishing my salt after all my workouts.  They are easy and quick and I probably eat them more than I should for being over 30.

5. No TV – Although we have a TV in our house, I don’t watch TV.  Like ever.  It’s not some big reason- I’ll occasionally sit and watch shows with hubby or a movie on a lazy evening.  It’s just that I’d rather be up in my office, at my computer, relaxing with the puppies on the couch near me.

6. 711 GB’s Photo – Just looking at all my photos in my main external hard drive, where I really started saving all my photos from my first dSLR in July of 2007, I have almost 711 GB of data.  That is a crazy amount of pictures & I’m so glad they are all backed up several places.  Many of these are “original negatives” and many folders of things like travels, family, wedding and our yearly album backups.

7.  No coffee – I don’t drink coffee in any way, shape or form.  Don’t care for the taste at all, even if its straight up, cappuccino, latte, iced coffee, espresso, Baileys or anything related.  I figured I’ve got enough vices, so no need to add a coffee addition to the list.  I do drink a caffeinated water in the morning to get me started at 4AM, so I’ve got a little bit of a kick-start to help me get ready for my runs.
