I have had a wickedly busy day:
40 minute Workout (20 minute outdoor run + yoga/core work at home)
Target
Marshall’s (got four more plates so now I have a set of 8 plates for $25 bucks!)
Grocery Store
Cooked a great dinner. To be blogged about tomorrow.
And have just been going, going, going. And still have to go to my paid job.
Today is the perfect day for the Alphabet. I saw Gabriela post about it and she got it from Shannon.

From my last post on Algae and Trying Anything Once, it was fun to read what you’ve tried once. What you’d be willing to try once. And the things you’re not willing to try, or to try ever again.
And thanks for your thoughts on supplements. Most of you said you feel similarly to me, that food over supplements any day, but there are situations and needs in which supplements can be helpful.
Questions:
1. Pick a letter and tell me your answer.
Letters I’d be more curious about…T through Z. But I’m not picky.
Or pick a few and fill me in.
2. What’s going on for you this weekend?
I’m working, working out, cooking, cleaning, errand-running, parenting. Oh wait, I do this every day. The weekend isn’t “special” but that’s ok. Being busy is a good thing, right?
Amen to the kids making you late! It only gets worse! I can’t stand people that wonder and have no agenda in the middle of busy places! It drives me crazy!
Haha, okay, so I was trying really hard to read all of your alphabet but I was highly distracted by all of these AMAZING recipes. I want to make them all!!!! LoL, thanks for sharing girl! Have a wonderful Friday.
so glad you played the alpha game, too! i participated/blogged it a coupla days ago – and am loving reading about everyone else’s list, too.
agree re your pet peeve. and the dislike of onions – i forgot that one on my own list.
and i love your comment re reading blogs instead of watching movies – yes! the drama of some blogs, even just reading blogs is as enthralling as movie watching!!
this weekend is insane…but i leave for aruba next sunday so i can cope with anything for the next few days!!
take care, averie!
GAH! I need to remember to make those cucumber wraps! They are brilliant!
Nicknames: Ketchup, Treen Bean, Gidget
I’m babysitting my little sister allll weekend long! :)
oh fun! i had no idea you had a younger sister, I love learning more about you!
oh i am SUCh a shortie at 5’2 haha
Siblings = two older brothers.
This weekend = dance, errands, baking, homework.
We have the exact same pet peeve Averie! I might have to do a version (or partial version) of this post myself. Let’s see:
Age: 21 (I don’t mind saying that because I feel like 21 is still “cool”, lol, even though I act like an old person most of the time)
Job Title: Full time student/part time research/editorial assistant
Siblings: 1 older sister who is getting a phd in chemistry (she’s super smart!)
You play the sax?!? Awesome.
V: WHAT!?!? I can’t think of any. Honest.
Z: Penguins!! But really, any of them.
Commando…why am I not surprised? ;)
I love that you said “I don’t watch movies. I read blogs.” haha
My weekend sounds very similar to yours with homework thrown in! :)
I am seriously loving reading these things about people because I love finding out how tall everyone is!
I’m 5’10” too! I love that we have that in common :)
This weekend is my mom’s birthday party, so that’s taking up all my time until it’s over, lol.
Z – my maiden name has a Z in it :)
I think life is what really makes anyone run late!! It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday things! I loved your age answer!!
Time I wake up: Sometime between 6-8 am, depending on the day
Vegetable I don’t Like: Eggplant. I eat it prepared certain ways, but it’s not my favorite.
Zoo, Favorite animal: polar bears
Happy almost Friday! :)
Time I wake up: Between 6:45 – 9:30 usually (depends on day of the week)
Pet Peeve: Really long story tellers. Slow talkers. Quiet talkers. Picky eaters.
