Me from A to Z

I am once again borrowing from Janetha. She created this survey over on her blog and now I'm going to use it because I'm tired and plum out of creativity today. Daylight Savings takes so much more than just an hour. Thief! Anyway, enough with the drama. On to the survey.

A is for age: 30

B is for breakfast today: Coffee, yogurt and strawberries (mostly strawberries) and a spoonful of peanut butter. Not very exciting, I know. 

C is for currently craving: Bagels! I came across this post while going through my google reader this morning, and I can't wait to try the recipe. It looks super simple; I just need some Arrowroot powder.

Gluten free bagels from Fork and Beans

D is for dinner tonight: Hmm, good question. I'm not much of a dinner person. I usually just have some sort of protein/carb mixture or a Shakeology after my workout. But I do have some leftover pasta from my productive Sunday, so I'll probably have some of that. Or eggs with toast. Maybe cereal. I honestly don't know. I can tell you there will definitely be oranges because I'm on a kick right now.

E is for favorite type of exercise: Workouts on my treadmill are my favorite, by far! I like to alternate walking with jogging/running. I also really enjoy crunches. I know that's probably weird to a lot of people, but I think they're fun. I like feeling my muscles contracting at different angles and stuff. 

F is for an irrational fear: Falling. When I'm on stairs, I worry about falling down them. When I see an edge, even if I'm not very close to it, I can see myself falling off it. When I'm in a car I worry about going over the edge. It can be very upsetting. 

G is for gross food: I like a lot of foods, but there are some things I just can't handle. Liver, brussels sprouts, anything with feet in it. (And on a related side note: this weekend I had my first experience with a bacon and peanut butter hamburger. Wow. It was incredible.) 

H is for hometown: Pleasanton, CA. I live less than 25 miles from where I grew up, which can be pretty cool and crazy sometimes, seeing all the changes.
 

I is for something important: Peace and quiet. This year has reinforced the importance of that for me. 

J is for current favorite jam: I refer you to this post from last week. 

K is for kids: Yes, yes it is. Spelling is important. ;) No kids for me yet, but maybe someday. 

L is for current location: At my desk at work in Berkeley, CA.

You can see my building! Sort of middle towards the top of the picture. I wish I knew how to make an arrow that points to it.

M is for the most recent way you spent money: I got a frozen yogurt at lunch today. I wasn't planning on it, but they had Hawaiian Coconut and I couldn't resist! 

N is for something you need: An excedrin. Ugh. Or more sleep. Both would be ideal. 

O is for occupation: Officially, I am an Administrative Officer 2, but I still use Financial Specialist, which was my title before they decided to change all the titles to things that are equally meaningless. Nobody ever knows what I do from my title. I do a whole bunch of stuff that isn't really covered by my title, but it was the best they could come up with. A lot of what I do is financial, so I usually just tell people I pay things and leave it at that. It's too complicated to try to explain it to people. 

P is for pet peeve: Thoughtlessness, self-absorption, oblioviousness. I don't know what you might want to call it, but an inability or unwillingness to think about how other people might be impacted by one's actions. 

Q is for a quote: Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. John Keats, Ode on a Grecian Urn

R is for random fact about you: I can clap with my feet - like, really well. :) That's all I can think of right now. 

S is for favorite healthy snack: Oranges. Or almonds. 

T is for favorite treat: Lately it's been Ben and Jerry's Late Night Snack. Oh my goodness, you guys! The fudge covered potato chip clusters. Heaven!

U is for something that makes you unique: Does having a headache almost all the time count? No? Then I can't think of anything. Because my head hurts too much to think that much. Also, I don't think I'm that unique. 

V is for favorite vegetable: Broccoli. Or spinach. I like a lot of vegetables. Avocado? Wait, that's a fruit, right? Because of the seed? Oh I like cabbage! Sigh. These questions are hard. 

W is for today’s workout: I will be getting on my treadmill when I get home. I'm planning on a long walk/run tonight, since I took yesterday off and last week was somewhat lacking due to headaches and nausea and whatnot. Plus looking at places for rent cut into my workout time. 

X is for X-rays you’ve had: Let's see... my guts when I was 4. Ankle when I was 11 after being hit by a car. Then teeth at the dentist. And my guts again a few times about 3-4 years ago. I think that's it.

Y is for yesterday’s highlight: Curling up to start re-reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire before bed.

Z is for your time zone: Pacific

That was fun! OK, now it's your turn. Pick some letters and share your answers! You can use your initials, your favorite letter (if you have one), or just close your eyes and pick at random. xoxo
