THREE TANGENT TUESDAY

It's that time again!

Three Random facts about me:

1.  Re-occurring dreams: am I the only one that has these? I've not had this one in a good year or two but had them SUPER frequently for YEARS and it was always the same 'plot' though the dreams were different. But the plot was ALWAYS that I was late for class and could not remember the combination to my school locker!! Weird, right??

2.  I might be the most inflexible person in the world (think wooden pencil).  I remember taking dance lessons as a little girl and EVERYONE else could touch their toes except me.  So no yoga/pilates in my future!  =)

3.  I am a big sugar-holic. Seriously. Like 'need-a-support-group' type -aholic. I joke about it a lot but it really is like a drug!  I get shaky sometimes when I think about it and when I'm eating it. Its like I have no 'off' button sometimes! (case in point: I am snarfling down a chocolate chip granola bar as I type this and am contemplating getting another one)...


NOW YOU!

Do you have re-occurring dreams?
Are you flexible?
Any foods you just cant stay away from?

Tangent Tuesday

I keep saying I'm going to pick back up with doing the Three Tangent Tuesday since oh, say, TWO years ago, BUT I kept forgetting (I think I need a blog post reminder calendar!)  =)

So. Here are my three 'betcha-didn't-know-that-about-me tidbits!

1.   I used to play clarinet (junior high) and saxophone (high school) but would have no CLUE what to do with either one now. I also played piano for a quite a number of years. I was never very good, but I still enjoy it! (I play a mean 'Chopsticks'!)

2.  Both my older brothers are incredible artists. Someone how I missed out on that gene and got the good looks instead.  Hee Hee

3.  Ok this is an embarrassing one!  In the 2nd grade, I peed my pants out of defiance to a teacher.  I really had to go to the bathroom and for some reason or another (another being she was just plain MEAN!) she would not let me go. I knew if I peed my pants, they would call my mom and she would get me and take me home, then I could give her my 'my-teacher-hates-me-and-is-SO-mean!' sob story and she would pull me out of that school and put in in another elementary school, which is what I wanted anyway.  My teacher was MEAN I tell you!! 

How are those for random??  =)



Play along and tell me 3 random things about yourself in the comments!

Feb 1 workout and Three Tangent Tuesday

First off....
ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I'd insert the dancing banana emoticon here if I knew how....
I got a solid workout in this morning and did one of my favorite winter activities-shoveling. Is that weird? Probably. It fits with my personality. I AM the girl who would rather eat chili for breakfast than eggs and has 5 children.....=)

workout: 7.6 miles on the elliptical 36:00....0-12 lev1....12-24 lev2....24-36 lev 3....
Skip counting by 12s was apparently my thang this morning.
I also did lower body weights (did upper yesterday). It feels good to get back into that. I love feeling like my legs are made of some type of gelatinous substance..

Tomorrow will be another elliptical day, followed by a treadmill day on Thursday at the neighbors, a rest day on Friday and most likely my last treadmill run at the neighbors will happen on Saturday. I doubt this absurd amount of snow will go anywhere before then. Then I get my treadmill!! (almost typed 'breadmill', must be dinner time)...

So, Janae over at HUNGRY RUNNER GIRL has started these 'Three Tangent Tuesdays' and has encouraged her readers to do the same, so of course I will. I am a loyal stalker, er, I mean FOLLOWER of hers and do anything she says.
=)
Now if you go over there, be prepared, she is WAY awesome. Please dont leave me for her. We can all be friends.
I'll give you ice cream if you stay!!! Or snow cream. Gotta lot of snow.

So anyway, for the Three Tangent Tuesday, you list 3 random things about yourself (random doesnt always mean interesting, I am actually quite a boring person), so here we go!

1. I love to shovel and rake! Oh I told you that already? Ok, point 2....

2. I have 4 girls and 1 boy in that order (incase you didnt know). Girls #1 and #3 are carbon copies (in looks and somewhat in personality) and #2 and #4 are carbon copies (in looks and personality. Boy, baby #5 is a wild card and a wild child. We just hope he makes it to see 5.

3. I have a fear of water, which is why I will never be in a triatholon. I also fear falling off my bike and breaking anything more than a nail, so duatholons are out too. I also fear movies like 'The Ring' (I seriously just got a chill typing that), and my children getting hurt (you would laugh if I told you how long I made them leave their training wheels on).
