twenty things {about me}.

by Hillary on January 3, 2012

 

    1. I’ve never been on a roller coaster. Have I lived!?
    2. I detested mushrooms for the longest time. This aversion is no longer.
    3. I separate my laundry by darks, lights/whites + pinks.
    4. I have an instinctual craving for peanut butter + bananas most mornings.
    5. I left cookies + milk for Santa (and carrots for the reindeer!) well into my high school years – I’m a creature of habit freak of tradition!
    6. Body ink isn’t my style.
    7. I haven’t a clue what I’m doing after May 20, 2012.
    8. That said, I figured out my life plan last night in less than 10 minutes.
    9. I have an entire kitchen drawer designated for tea.
    10. I pay a lot of money for cable TV, of which I do not watch.
    11. Current culinary obsession: ginger.
    12. I’d much prefer to consume cold cereal at 10pm than 8am.
    13. Volunteering with Girls on the Run is added onto my life list.
    14. I don’t use Google Reader… or know how to. I’m a hypocrite.
    15. I don’t know how I lived ran without my new running toy.
    16. I am already browsing summer swimwear. It’s the third of January.
    17. My Spotify playlists alternate between Drake, Christina Perri + Lady Antebellum.
    18. I once talked a lot. Now I don’t talk enough.
    19. My car is permanently scented of Orbit peppermint gum.
    20. I didn’t stay up ‘til midnight this NYE… I’m 22.

“18. I once talked a lot. Now I don’t talk enough. ”
That’s totally like me! My teachers were always telling me to stop talking and I think they finally drove it into my head! Cute list <3
ANDDDD I didn't stay up to 12 either… I did it old lady style and had to be woken up ;)

Ahh! We have so many things in common! Haha, ginger is my new fave right now, and I have way too much tea in my kitchen :D

Sooo… You should totally ride a rollercoaster! Mushrooms are awesome with salsa or sautéed… I am the worst laundry washer and I’m hoping that my Dear will eventually tell me never to do a load again and he’ll take over [haha]! I much prefer to eat cereal dry than with milk [or yogurt]. I wanted to volunteer with Girls on the Run but expressed interest after the season already started – there’s always next season! I just started using Google Reader a couple of weeks ago and think it’s absolutely awesome [totally worth doing]…

Have a great day :D

I don’t use Google Reader, either. It’s too confusing for me! haha

I am so glad to hear that another 22 year old did not make it ’til midnight on New Year’s Eve. I made it to 11:15pm and called it good. I guess running 8 miles and skiing 7 hours on the same day makes you tired.

Girls on the Run is one of the best experiences I have ever had. I coached one year and now wish my schedule allowed for me to coach again. With my job, I get to do lots of shoe fittings in my area, so I am still a part of the program, but don’t get to see the faces of little girls learning how to love running and themselves on a weekly basis any more.

Glad to hear you loved your GOTR experience. Do you work at a shoe store? :)

I work at a specialty running store in Michigan called Gazelle Sports. We are a huge part of GOTR here in Michigan. It is super fun and I get to talk about running all day long.

I am the same way about cereal! It’s the best late night snack, and not enough to get me going in the morning.

I used to not like roller coasters either, but now, I love ‘em!

That’s gotta be a Tri-Kids photo…I think that is Neila Gann in the background!
Always love reading your blog. You are how I stay current on healthy food trends! Thanks!
Can’t wait to hear about your marathon progression. Which one are you thinking of? Oh…and looking forward to your gluten-free post.

Hi Tami,
I think you’re right — I think that is “Mrs. Gann”, too :)
Not sure about that crazy outfit though, haha.
I wanted to run the Eugene Marathon at the end of April, but now I have something else going on, so I’m not sure. Any suggestions?

I wanted to go to bed at 11pm NYE but my mom made me stay up to see the ball drop… I’m 22 :)
