I’m “Fabulous”
Terri over at Middle of the Pack Girl tagged me for this blog meme. I’m certain it’s a mistake… I’m not fabulous, except maybe at making exceptionally ungraceful exits from races! 😉 Anyway, I’m supposed to list 5 of my addictions:
1. Pop
Soda, coke, soft drinks, carbonated beverages… whatever you choose to call them. I love diet soft drinks. I keep trying to cut back on them, eliminating them, making rules about when I can have them… but I always come back to them. I guess a girl is allowed one vice, right?
2. Eggplant
Yeah, it’s weird… I’d never had eggplant until a few years ago and now I seriously crave it all the time. If I open a restaurant menu, my eyes can immediately zero in on entrees that contain eggplant. Yum… I’m sure some other food will take this spot someday, but for the past year or so, this one has been high on the list!
3. Blogging
I have been blogging for a long, long, long time. This site is relatively new in the scheme of how long I’ve been writing online. Writing a blog and reading other’s blogs is so much a part of me now, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know how to function if it was taken away from me.
4. Yoga
I started doing yoga in 1996… I love it and I need it to function. Not only to stretch me out and keep me in shape, but to decompress and re-focus myself.
5. Running
That’s probably obvious, huh… I write a whole site about it. I love doing it, I love reading about it, I love learning about new products, I love trying new gadgets, I pretty much love everything about it, even the aches and pains (eventually). Which is really strange when you consider how much I loathed it in high school and college.
I’m supposed to tag others, but I’m really bad at that. Plus, Terri tagged about half the world on her post. (Just teasing Terri!) So if you feel like you want to play along, feel free. It’s kind of fun to learn new things about each other!

I used to scoff at the idea that I would ever be a runner. Now it's very deeply ingrained into who I am... Running completes me!
I just couldn’t choose between people this time around – everyone deserves it! And your blog is awesome by the way. I’ve learned a lot by reading it, so thank you.
Fun! I love memes. They are great when I can’t think of something to say. 🙂
I’m right there with you on diet coke. Although coffee seems to be winning out as of lately. 🙂
I’ll just tell you my five addictions right here.
1. Sugar. Cake, cookies, candy, whatever. I just love sweet stuff! You know those crunchy candy decorations, usually shaped like letters or cartoon characters, that go on top of birthday cakes? Sometimes I buy a pack of those and just eat them. Good thing I eat healthfully otherwise, with plenty of fruits and veggies and whole grains.
2. Diet pop. Particularly Diet Coke, Diet Cherry Pepsi, and Fresca. I generally have at least one a day. Strangely, considering my sugar addiction, I don’t like regular pop. It makes my teeth feel weird.
3. Coffee. I drink coffee almost every day, but I don’t HAVE to have a cup first thing like some people do. But if I’m somewhere and coffee is offered to me I’ll always take a cup, with cream and sugar please.
4. Email & the Internet. I do not know how I ever lived before email and the internet existed. I’m one of those people who looks EVERYTHING up online, and would rather communicate with someone via email than phone. I <3 the internet!
5. Photography. I take a camera with me everywhere and I frequently use it, when I am not lugging my Nikon with me and using it. My mom is also a big-time shutterbug and has dozens and dozens of albums full of photos. She gave me my first camera when I was 6, and I’ve had a camera of my own ever since.
