Fun Facts Friday

By · 2 Comments

1. One of the recent search terms used to find my blog was “i’m not going to sit back and watch the woman.” Umm… What?

2. Our wedding season has officially kicked off! I’m in California for our first wedding of the summer, and I’m super excited about it!

3. Thanks to my boyfriend, I have spent hours on this website laughing my ass off. I encourage you to do the same.

4. I’m 80 percent sure I’m going to run in the Philadelphia Half Marathon in November, and/or train for a bikini competition. We’ll see. I need a new goal. Thoughts?

5. I desperately need a new pair of running shoes—mine are beat. I’ve been running in Saucony, but I think I want to try Newton or Brooks. Any suggestions?

Do you have any hilarious websites you’d like to share?

Happy Friday!

1. Today is my youngest sister’s junior prom. My junior prom was in 2006. I feel old.

2. I’m kind of in love with Justin Beiber’s newest song, Boyfriend. In my defense, though, it’s only because this song reminds me of him:

Justin Timberlake

I need some more JT in my life, immediately. (Source)

3. Part of me is sad that my TV shows are wrapping up for the season. However, a bigger part of me is relieved—now I don’t have to worry about trying to figure out when I’m going to watch 387 hours of recorded television every week. (I think this deserves a #firstworldproblem hashtag.)

4. My momma’s birthday is tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! I bought you the best birthday present ever. Just sayin’.

5. In case you’re a new reader, I ran my first half marathon Sunday! Since it hasn’t even been a week yet, I feel like I can still brag about that. Now I need to find another race… Any suggestions?

Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend?

Fun Facts Friday

OK, so… I had another post planned for this glorious day, but it turns out I have to save that awesomeness for another time. Since my plan fell through and my brain is tired from being used all week, I’m going to give you a second installment of Fun Facts Friday! Please, try to contain your excitement.

1. I recently found out that a restaurant half an hour from my house serves VEGAN pizza. Do I really even need to say anymore?

2. As much as I love running, I hate what it’s doing to my feet—my tootsies have never been so gnarly in my life! I may or may not be developing bunions, I have calluses all over the place and one of my toenails turned black. I just feel sorry for the poor soul that gives me a pedicure after my half marathon.

3. Speaking of feet… I bought a fabulous pair of heels Saturday! Originally $100, I got them for $55—not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Now if only I could wear heels without my feet throwing a hissy fit…

New Shoes

Isn’t she pretty!?

4. Thanks to my sister, I have been laughing my ass off for the past two days because of this website. It is easily one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a very long time. Considering the amount of time I have wasted watching pointless (but hilarious) videos on YouTube, this is quite the accomplishment.

5. My local grocery store started to carry Almond Breeze’s Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend, and it is DELICIOUS! This milk + frozen pineapple + banana + spinach (no, you can’t taste it) + protein powder = A PINACOLADA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE! Seriously, my breakfast was a mini-vacation yesterday morning.

Have a wonderful weekend, all! I’ll catch ya on the flipside.

What have been some of your highlights from this week?

Fun Facts Friday

Happy Friday! Hopefully you’re reading this from your couch because you don’t have to go to work today (like me!). If you’re not, well… At least it’s still Friday! Since I’m writing this post a little later than planned, I’m going to keep it short (read: I’m feeling a little bit tired and lazy).

Chelsey, the writer behind one of my favorite blogs (Clean Eating Chelsey), writes a “Fun Facts Friday” post for her blog every Friday. Though I can’t commit to doing this every Friday, I am going to give it a try today—so here goes nothin’!

1. Nerd Alert: I really like words. And grammar. Actually, I really like proper grammar. I also really like alliteration, which is why this Fun Facts Friday post is going to list five facts.

2. Tomorrow I’m getting a massage with one of the many Groupons I’ve purchased throughout the past few months. Yes, I have a problem and buy too many of them, but I just can’t pass up a bargain (I blame you, Mom)! I’m excited because I don’t remember the last time I got a massage, and I desperately need one—my legs are pretty tight from all of my half-marathon training.

3. I saw a pretty shocking, kind of disgusting photo on Facebook yesterday. Check it out below:

Sugar Poster

How GROSS is this!? Can you believe THAT much sugar is in ONE Mountain Dew? You’d never eat that much sugar at once, but I see people drink one or two sodas in one sitting without even thinking twice about it. CRAZY!

4. I received AWESOME news today about the Hope Express. We’re organizing virtual runs to raise money for THON and the Four Diamonds Fund! If none of that makes sense to you, don’t worry—I’ll be telling you all about it in a future blog post.

5. About two weeks ago, I decided I wanted to join the Foodie Penpals program that’s been growing in the blogging world. Today, I found out who I’m sending a package to (and who I’m receiving one from!), and I’m super excited! I can’t wait to show you all what I get—it’s like a foodie Christmas!

That’s a wrap! Enjoy your weekend, and stay awesome!

What are some fun facts about you?
