Time for Day 6 of the Challenge – 30 Interesting Facts. However, I am not that interesting pressed for time so am going to stick with 10 facts.
10 Facts
1. I need and crave fresh air. I don’t care if it’s -40F in Minneapolis or 112F in Phoenix. I need to be outside, even for 5 minutes, every single day. This was the view from my neighborhood 15 minutes ago. 65F, breezy, but sunny.
2. I love finding deals on products, clothes, or groceries. Finding a good deal excites me.
3. Contrary to how it may appear on my blog, I can actually go over a week without chocolate. And I don’t miss it that much. And then I will think, oh, I haven’t had chocolate in awhile, and will have some again. I have an entire Chocolate Recipes Collection in case you can’t go without chocolate.
Such as Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls
4. Exactly how it appears on my blog, I cannot go without coffee each day. I do miss it! And get caffeine withdrawal headaches. I did a big Coffee Review Post, recently if you need proof.
5. I eat late. Very late. And go straight to bed. I don’t subscribe to “Rules”.
6. I used to have my nose pierced in high school and college and it’s not pierced anymore and the now closed up hole looks like a large pore.
7. I floss twice a day, every day. I go to the dentist every 4 months for cleanings. I’ve never had a cavity.
8. I hate ants. As in, I practically have a phobia of ants being in my house. One or two doesn’t bother me but there are never just one or two. They bring hundred(s) of their horrible friends.
9. I haven’t seen a movie in a movie theater in 5 years. I was pregnant with Skylar the last time I saw a movie and only went because we had no a/c in our house and I was so terribly sick with morning all day sickness. I spent the entire time I was at the theater in the bathroom being sick, but at least I was sick and climate-controlled.
10. I cannot sing. Rephrase: I belt out tunes in the car or from my ipod, but to quote Randy from American Idol, “Dog you are Not Going to Hollywood”.
If you missed my other Challenge Posts, so far there is:

Day 26 – What kind of person attracts you
From my earlier post about Skylar’s Birthday, thanks for all the awesome birthday wishes for her! I have been blown away by the amazing birthday wishes! Thank you to every one who wished her a Happy Birthday! I’ve been telling her all day that my blog friends and readers have been wishing her a happy birthday and it’s made her smile. She totally “gets it” and loves it!
I really enjoyed reading about your memorable birthdays, too, and the great stories and trips down memory lane!
As for store bought vs. homemade bakery items like cakes and cupcakes, glad to know some of you rock the store-bought items, too!
This meal is home made, though.

Questions:
1. What’s been going on in your day today?
I went for a run, got a 20 Minute at home workout in with some yoga moves and core work on my ball.
I went to Target and replenished some essentials.
I have been returning phone calls, paying bills and just slammin ‘n jammin!
2. What are your Interesting Facts? Any amount you want to share is great! Sharing is caring. Rattle some off!
See you later!
You know…I don’t know the last time I went a week without chocolate. Is that sad? Or awesome… :-)
so glad skylar received so many happy birthday wishes!
i enjoyed reading your 10 facts – thanks for sharing!
i can relate to quite a few: the need of fresh air – it was minus 20 C here and i HAD to go for my walk!; caffeine-luv; the need to floss (and never a cavity for me, either!).
have a great eve!
You actually might live in paradise. Do you have a spare bedroom?? :)
LOL. Just move here!
Interesting Facts:
– I too floss twice a day
– I love going to the movie theatre, and have been known to go to two movies in one day!
– I hate texting
Awesome facts! I eat late all the time, too. In fact, I have to eat right before bed otherwise I wake up starving in the middle of the night. My boyfriend thinks even eating dinner at 730 is late and “bad”..but that’s not even the half of it! haha
Omg i eat in the wee hours of the morning based on my schedule and hunger. I eat when those two things coincide :) Time on the clock doesnt matter…haha!
I’m so impressed with your dental hygiene! That’s awesome. I also need fresh air every day and eat late at night. :-)
Haha I hate ants too! They are terrible little buggers. Slash I eat all the way into the night, I love my food and I love it all times of the day!
P.s. bottle me up some sunshine and send it with a bow please?!
I don’t know if I could go so long without chocolate :)
Great facts, agreed on fresh air and oral hygiene. :-)
The coconut rice looks awesome.
1. Not much, working and hopefully a run later.
2. I used to love clothes shopping and now get bored with it so fast, yet I could spend hours in a Whole Foods. :-P
Sadly, there was no sunshine here today and I need sunshine! I worked on book keeping stuff for Tony…not fun. I had my belly button pierced right after college. I don’t have that anymore either since pregnancy really doesn’t do well with that. I need my oatmeal, I am guessing much like you need your coffee. I need coffee too, but can not and will not live without oatmeal!
Haha–I can’t sing either. I hear the song perfectly in my head, but something happens from my head to my vocal cords and it never comes out sounding the same.
Hah! And NOW I know your teeth cleaning secrets! I also HATE ants…maybe that’s why I was so DISTURBED when we had them this year! Urgh!
I love this post and your 30 day challenge! I would love to do something like this. PS the chocolate covered oreo balls look to DIE for. I may just have to steal that and make it someday..perhaps tomorrow when I’m snowed in!
1. Whats been going on with my day- homework homework and more homework aka reading for grad classes…lucky me.
2. What are your interesting facts- I LOVE chocolate as well. I make my bed every single day (since I was 4 years old). I have become obsessed with Stacey’s Pita Chips “simply naked” yum!
Today I’m back in the world after being sick for a week! Was housebound for all of last week as well… today I’m back to classes and dance :)
glad you are feeling better!!!!!!!!
Haha my fact is the opposite to one of yours- I can’t go a day without chocolate! :P I love all your chocolate recipes, and must make those oreo balls- they look AMAZING!!
And wish the beautiful Skylar a big happy birthday! :D
