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.

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?
The cucumber wraps look SO good.

Amazingly, no plans for this weekend. I’m hoping for more snow so I can get out on the snow shoes.
Cucumber wraps — I’m going to try that asap.
It was fun to learn more about you!
Time I wake up: usually between 6-6:30am during the week and around 7am on the weekends.
Pet peeves: too much or too little eye contact (we’ve discussed that before!), people who stand too close to you (get out of my personal space), holier-than-thou types, too many to name!
I have had so many things x-rayed I don’t even think I could list them. Probably everything. Along with MRIs, CAT and bone scans. I’m sure this means I’m a super hero now. My plans involve spending the whole weekend with a very handsome fellow…
I just did a post like this yesterday as well. I think it’s one of the more interesting surveys out there. I had no idea you played the tenor saxophone! Very cool. And I feel ya on your pet peeve. That drives me insane! I never know whether to step into the road to get around them or try get through.
Happy Friday!
just came across your blog! you have some really insightful posts! can’t wait to see what you share next :) xo honestly LOVE everything you posted- my mouth is watering!
“Job title: Crazed maniac” I love it! I tend to feel like one as well.
Lol…I love your list! AND– you play the saxaphone?!? Very cool!!
LOL – LOVE your job title ;-)
Nicknames: Red, Hez, Heath, Rosie, Sis, Stit
Ugh – I definitely share your pet peeves. Going 25 in a 50 just because the leaves are pretty is totally fine, if you’re into that kinda thing. Going 25 in a 50 just because the leaves are pretty when there’s a LINE of traffic behind you? Totally not so fine. We call them “leaf peepers” :P
Loved your ABCs and of course the food pics, too ;)
Hope your day is off to a great start!
