Triple Tangent

In honor of my trip to Arizona, this week's random facts are all about it:

1. I've traveled to Arizona more times then any other state.
2. I went (alone) twice in college. Once during Christmas break my freshman year and for spring break my junior year.
3. I haven't been since my family spent Christmas there in 2005.
4. This  trip will be the longest I've been away from the hubs in the 5 years 9 months we've been together.

Thankful Thursday

This week I'm thankful for:

1. The ability to run / workout. And enjoy it.
2. Molten Hot Wing potato chips. I can't get enough of them!
3. Our family. They mean so much to me.

What I'm Loving Wednesday


  1. The heat wave we’re having in VT right now! With the exception of Tuesday, it’s supposed to be in the 30’s and even reach 40!
  2. That the week is almost over and I’m that much closer to going on vacation.
  3. That I’ve had so much time to read, and have had good books to read, lately.

Triple Tangent or T Cubed

  1. I am the oldest of 3 kids. My sister is 19 months younger and my brother 7 years younger.
  2. When I was a freshman in college, my mom and brother (who was in 6th grade) came to visit me and my brother brought me an apple pie that he had made, and didn’t want me to eat because he worked so hard to make it!
  3. My sister and I always had crazy pets. Once we had (a ton of) baby chicks, guinea pigs (that we were scared of), fish and a hermit crab.

Randomness

Two of the blogs I read have certain posts on specific days. Hungry Runner Girl does Triple Tangent Tuesday and my SIL at The Brady Bunch does What I’m Loving Wednesday and Thankful Thursday.

I thought I’d start participating. I’m not sure I’ll do this every week but I think it will be fun. I know I’m a little behind on a few of these, but better late then never right?!

MOVIES

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU #3  - Go to a movie of his choice (without complaining)

1. Little Fockers. I thought There had been only one other movie (Meet the Parents) so I couldn't figure out why I felt a little 'lost'. Come to find out, there was another one (Meet the Fockers, I think). I was a funny movie and served the purpose.

2. The Dilemma. The middle of this movie was way more serious then either of us expected, but it was still good. I don't know that I'd recommend seeing it in the theatre but it's worth renting.

3. The Roommate. I thought this was going to be a scary movie, but it was just plain CREEPY! And some parts were a little disturbing. But all in all, a decent movie, I couldn't stop watching and it seemed to go by fast (as apposed to some of the movies where you constantly check your watch).

Nails

WOE IS ME #63 - Don’t bite / pick nails for a week.

This is always easier when I have a manicure. So even though I had some “help” accomplishing this goal, I still did it! Once I became more consistent with my vitamins (women’s multi-vitamin and a calcium supplement), I’ve notice that my nails have gotten stronger. They don’t crack or flake as much as they used to, which also helps keep me from picking and biting them.

Night Routine

ROCKSTAR MENTALITY #10 - Establish and follow through on a nighttime routine for a month.

Finally! My second attempt at doing this and I completed it. This time around my routine was to take my vitamins, wash my face, floss and brush my teeth. It wasn’t hard to follow and will be easy when I’m not at home (which is where I usually get lazy and don’t follow much of my normal routines. I figured this was easy and quick enough to do no matter where I was. (I’ll be at my parents this weekend so we’ll see how I do!)
