Party day 2

So this party thing has been fun! I am enjoying getting to know others and have enjoyed the messages I myself have received on posts, even older ones! I guess I should answer a few more questions, huh?

Be brave – tell us something very random and weird about yourself.

-I don't like drinking out of a glass that someone has touched the rim of. It's not that I am a germaphobe, though I don't like the idea of germy hands. But I also have a very heightened sense of smell and can smell anything! Including a residual scent left behind on a glass.....

What is one of your favorite things to catch a whiff of?

-Speaking of scents....I LOVE anything that is cinnmon based, or like a harvest/spiced scent. YUM! There is just something homey & comforting about those scents. I used to love home interiors apple pie scented candles.

Do you have a strong desire to do something you’ve never done? What is it?

-There's a lot of things I'd like to do, one of the more daring things I want to do is sky dive. Though at this point I told hubby I won't attempt to until the kids are all older. That way if I become a human pancake, he's the only one at home & only has to fend for himself! (I'm totally saying that all tongue in cheek!! I'm not scared to do it, he's just scared I'd be a statistic so I always kid him). Some of my more attainable goals are to bike a century  (100 miles) or more. 8 wks after I had Noah, I did an 81 mile bike race, so one of these days I think that's within reach. I also would like to aim for a half or full marathon. I did a few 5k's while pregnant w/Noah, so maybe someday.

So there ya go, a few more random facts about myself. :)

I was pleasantly surprised on the great feedback I got last week about my cinnabon post (here). I couldn't believe how many people told me (&Kevin) they went out and got supplies to make them! I had a lot of fun doing that & taking pics to share. Sooo with that said, I would like to do that again BUT I am opening it up to suggestions. What would YOU all like to see me make & take pictures of ?(another hobby of mine, photography). My kids got a kick out of it as well and said I should regularly try to do a post like that. So contact me whether through a comment on here, an email or in person & give me a recipe idea. I'll chose something & make it to share here! :) If you live close enough, I may even share a sample with ya!

Since I am being totally random in this post, I just gotta share that I was messing around with some html and came up with a button for my site! I was pretty tickled I managed this on my own.....so feel free to take a copy! (hoping that coding works, if someone sees something off, let me know).

  2. Hi! Visiting from Lynnette's!

    I had to laugh about your phobia about people touching the rim of a glass! After having 3 kids, I have a crazy heightened sense of smell! When I was pregnant with my twins, for DAYS I could smell enchiladas that I had cooked 3 weeks before...and it always made my stomach turn!

    Loved reading your blog!

  3. 5K while pregnant??? I thought I was a real woman for running my first 5K last year at the age of 34! (15 of us made up 3 marathon relay teams...my leg was 3.5 miles.) I will start training soon for this year's marathon...I chose a 6.something mile leg. Next year I hope to do the half marathon...if this 6 mile leg doesn't kill me first!

  4. Blog party visit - Hi! Did you see when Michelle Duggar got to sky dive {because it was the first time she wasn't pregnant when some of her family did}. Jim Bob was like..."okay, have fun, we'll take care of all the kids if something happens", that made me laugh. I think I would enjoy it if I were in better shape. I, too, love spicey scents (what I call "kitcheny" scents). I think you did a bang up job on your button. Lisa

  6. Thanks Teresa!

    Coby, isn't sense of smell crazy? Between that and my innate sense of hearing, I drive hubby crazy at times! LOL

    she, you are da bomb for running like you are, don't underestimate that! And good luck on the 6m! I am jealous! Maybe when I stop popping out babies I will get to do that. Yes, my last 5K was at 29wks prego. I used a belly belt and had a time of 31min. I enjoyed it.

    Lisa, no I didn't see that episode, that is too funny!

    Kat, you were supposed to give me a suggestion! lol True, I do have lots of ideas but I like seeing what others suggest. I taught home ec last year and will be doing so again next school year, so yes, I do have a crazy amount of recipes on hand. ;)
