Butterflies and Working Out Wednesday
I’ve been nonstop this entire month it seems and not slowing down at all! I’ve got work travel this week that I am excited about. I have said multiple times that I thought I was done with work travel but I’ve been proven wrong! I’ve got vacation travel soon after and then more work travel to a conference…. One perk of this travel is that I am getting to see places that I’ve been dreaming about for years AND I get to be there for my BIRTHDAY! Don’t worry I will keep posting.
Swanky RD tagged me with the Butterfly Award. Thanks Kristen!
The aware requires the response of several questions…
- Name your favorite color?
I’m oddly similar to Swanky, I love gray. It seems melodramatic but I like it! I think I like black and white photos so much because they are essentially gray… which is ironic.
- Name your favorite song?
- Name your favorite dessert.
Name just one?! Just one? What kind of cruel award question is this? Hmm…Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
- What wizzes you off?
Ha, wizzes. When I am sitting at a stoplight that turns green and the drivers in front of me are not paying attention and never accelerate causing me to sit through another round of the light due to their complete lack of attentive driving. It is the time that I cannot back that wizzes me off and the fact that no one seems to understand that driving a motor vehicle is a responsibility and potentially life-threatening act!
- When you’re upset you..
Well, when I’m frustrated- I usually call my sister and have a few moments of venting. Nothing helps like talking it out. Sometimes I cry, if necessary.
- Your favorite pet
I am allergic to most animals. Oh..fish. I don’t own any though.
- Black or white
Can’t decided. It’s black… It’s white…the combination is gray…. hmmm
- Your biggest fear
Heights ? Shaky Stairs
No, I’d actually say its not living up to my potential … and getting stung by a bee …
- Best physical feature
I’m pretty modest… I guess, my eyes
- Everyday attitude
Enjoy this. Be present. Appreciate
- Guilty pleasure
Coffee (Starbucks or from my Kuerig). Chocolate. Wine. Dare I admit this, but, Sugar Free Red Bull too. Oh my gosh, my secret is out. I occasionally need an energy boost and sometimes it works better than coffee without as much caffeine plus extra B vitamins. Other guilty pleasures include trashy magazines, reading blogs, pretty much anything that is worth a little indulgence. I try to not ever deprive myself so that nothing is actually guilt-enducing. Enjoy Life!
