Since I always forget to do these things, I decided I should do it before I forget, since I was tagged by not one, not two, but THREE of my favorite blogs…

One Body, Life, Chance – Chandra

Trying To Heal – Melissa

Running With A Recipe – Sammie

PS.  Thank you ladies for your sweet comments when “tagging” me…So check these ladies out if you haven’t already – their blogs kick butt!

Anyway, here’s the rules:

1. Link back to the person that tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment for each tagged blogger, to let them know they have been tagged.

1. When I eat cake or cupcakes, I always eat the cake part first and save the icing for last, so it’s like one giant scoop or shell of icing… My family & friends think it’s gross but I think icing is the best part and I like saving the best things for last…

2. I’m really obsessed with to-do lists, to the point where I have them all over my desk at work and home and I list the amount of time I think it will take me to complete it and a due date… really obsessive, I know and I’m trying to shake it!

3. When I eat chocolate (in the form of a bar), I really like to enjoy it, so I take little bites and then let it sit in my mouth almost as if it were a lollipop or a hard candy!

4. I LOVE countdowns… I usually countdown to our vacations 2 months in advance and send out reminders to my friends (who go on vacation with us) with updated “how many more days to go, etc)… and more importantly, I love having things to look forward to, even if they are months away… so needless to say I have been counting down to the wedding… today is 1 month, 1 week OR 38 days haha!

5. I have an awful sense of direction… I mean really bad – to the point where it’s laughable… I basically use my GPS (Tom Tom by the way) everywhere I go… My mom and brother also have a similarly poor sense of direction and unfortunately, my dad is the only one that doesn’t need to rely on directions (most of the time)… which is why everyone in my house has their own personal GPS (all Tom Tom’s ha!)…

6. I know to some of you this might not be a quirk but to my friends and family it is… before I started this blog, I used to eat natural pb & grape jelly on an English muffin nearly EVERY day (and I mean over the course of MONTHS, not WEEKS)… it was a running joke when my co-workers or friends used to ask me what I had for lunch b/c it never changed! Now, that I have the blog, I try to switch it up more, but I still have to fight the urge to pack pb&j!

Since I was tagged triple, I decided to throw in three extra “quirks”…

7. I can speed read… I mean, I’m sure it’s not a huge talent, but thought it was an extra little “quirk”… I can scan a sheet of paper in a few seconds and know what it says… now remembering it, is more difficult for me, but I’ve always been like that… especially when given a birthday card with a lot of writing in it, people used to get mad because they thought I didn’t read it and when I would recite back what was written in it, they’d be surprised haha…

8. Finally, I am a huge klutz with little to no coordination… growing up, I was a ballet dancer for 12 years, but from the time I stopped dancing, my coordination went out the window… It’s gotten a little bit better, but there was a time where every day (now it’s on a weekly basis and I carry around a Tide stick wherever I go) I’d spill something on myself or knock something over or even fall out of my chair (at work, yes!)… However, I take pride in it because it seems to make both me and other people smile

9. I’m an early bird by default (partially due to my parents being that way)… The latest I typically sleep is to 8am on weekends, and weekdays I’m up by 5am… However, as a result, I have issues with staying up late at night and most nights (even some weekends) I am in bed by 10 or earlier… There is a running joke with my family that they are going to have to pull a cot out at my wedding so that I can go to sleep ha!

Well, now it’s my turn to tag some bloggers… Hopefully I’m not duplicating any “tags” here but I’ll try my best:

1.) http://betsycookshealthy.wordpress.com/

2.) http://www.angelsfood.net/

3.) http://howtogainweightonavegandiet.blogspot.com/

4.) http://couchcubicle.com/

5.) http://eatingbirdfood.wordpress.com/

6.) http://healthyashley.blogspot.com/

Hope you continue the tagging, ya’ll!

Anyway, before I forget, here’s a wrap-up of my lunch & snacks…

For lunch today I decided on skipping out on the jam/jelly/preserves and just enjoying the wonderfulness that is PB&Company’s Dark Chocolate Dreams on a whole wheat English muffin… I’m glad I did because it was like having dessert for lunch!  It was even better because my “side” was half a cup of cottage cheese (can you tell I’m trying to use the rest of this stuff up before the expiration date!) with a half cup of mixed fresh berries (mostly blueberries, but a couple of stray strawberries too!)… yum!!

Mid-afternoon, I was just planning on having a Clif bar when I got a call from Bill that his work had lower-level Phillies tickets for tonight behind home plate… so that changed my schedule for the night completely… I was planning on doing kickboxing, but now looks like I will be skipping the gym to go to the game instead   My parents and friend are also coming with us (he had 5 tickets), so it should be a great time!  I shifted gears snack-wise and ditched my full-sized Clif bar for a Kashi TLC Crunchy bar in Honey Toasted 7 Grain instead… hopefully this holds me over until we can get down to the stadium & grab some yummy eats!

My dinner post will probably not be until tomorrow since we will probably get back from the game late, so I hope you all have a fab Wednesday!
