Today I had to run to the grocery store and the 8th level of hell, Walmart so I decided it’d be in everyone’s best interest to get dressed.
I’m normally all about the high heel wedges, but I was going for comfort today because I had planned on hitting up Costco which I didn’t. And we all know walking around Costco practically requires compression socks, sole inserts and a sports bra.
The outfit:
*Supersoft and comfortable hoodie by Zella from Nordstrom Rack. I wish I could buy this thing in 10,000 different colors.
*Lace tank top from one of those Forever 21-wannabe stores in Santa Barbara when I was in college.
*Black tank top underneath by Hinge from Nordstrom. These tops are $26 but are longer, tight fitting and super soft. totally worth the money.
*Black skinny jeans from Macy’s juniors section years ago.
*Flats are Prada from Nordstrom Rack. and so not comfortable! should not have bought them, oh wells.
Black and grey are my favorite colors and I tend to wear a lot of black. My SIL once told me that’s all I wear. I told her I was prepping for her funeral.
just kidding, I really didn’t. I’m not that witty.
7+3=10
A couple days ago I told you 7 random things about me, and you all regretted wasting the 2.2 minutes of your day on my blog.
Well here’s 3 more just to make your day a little more useless:
1. I hate listening to voicemails. HATE IT. I don’t like talking on the phone anyways (besides to my mom) so listening to a bunch of VM is my idea of cruel and unusual punishment. In fact, I think there should be a special sort of torture device for people who let it go to voicemail and then hang up.
{I’m hoping if I let the 8 VM go long enough, they’ll just disappear or the whole phone will blow up}
2. Before moving into our house 4 years ago I had never had a fan in my room. or house, for that matter. Alaskans don’t know what fans are.
But now I do not sleep without it on full blast.
We have been known to get into arguments about how high to turn it, and it never ever gets turned off. The day it breaks will be rough because I’ll have to stay awake for like 74 hours until it gets fixed.
{It was on when I took the pic, I’m just that much of an amazing photographer}
3. I’m a closet hoarder… of Mizuno Wave Riders. You better believe all those boxes are full.
I like to switch it up and wear different colors (and different mileage depending on the race or run) so I write the miles for each pair on a sticky note and then stick in the shoe so I know when to retire each pair ~ about 475 miles.
Now tell me something random about you and I mean bedroom fan, sleeping habits random.

I thought that I am a total weirdo in regards to my attitude toward voice mail. Now I know that I am not the only one. When that stupid light is flashing on my phone I want to throw it out the window. I don’t like talking on the phone either. I guess that I need time to think out what I want to say. Esp at work.
I prefer texting and email.
me too! email me first, then text me and if you cant get ahold of me, sorry, i died.
I always sleep with a fan too because it helps drown out the noise of the neighbors ect. I hate listening to VMs too. I get annoyed when a number I don’t know leaves a VM because I will have to listen to it just to see who it was- after googling the number first. lol
I agree on 1 & 2!! And I have to say that the absolute BEST feature of the iPhone is that on the voicemail screen, you can delete all the messages with the click of the button without having listening to the messages, without going through any annoying people telling you to push numbers, and without pushing any numbers at all. I got my first iphone last November and I’m STILL excited about the deleting voicemail feature.
I LOVE that, too!
Say whaaaat? You can?! SO trying that out. Anti-phone & VMX here, too.
I also can’t stand listening to voicemails, so I signed up for google voice. It’s a free service that translates voicemails into texts or emails, so you never have to listen to another voicemail! It doesn’t get every word right, but usually enough to get the idea. If the message makes no sense at all, there is a link to listen to the actual message. I highly recommend it!
And maybe I lead an incredibly boring life, because I liked your random tidbits of info!

I also hate VM and talking on the phone! Why talk when you can text. In full disclosure, I keep three VM in my inbox at all times so then it gets “full” and no one can leave me a message. (insert evil laugh here)
Just saw something that said, “I should just change my voice mail greeting to, ‘Hang up and text me’”. SO true.
I’ve been living in a hotel for 5 and a half weeks. It’s not as cool as one would think.
random sleeping habit – gotta have a pillow over my head when i sleep.
random: my fave french word is pamplemousse.
I agree on the VM thing, I usually have so many that if I miss a call it doesn’t give you the option to leave one…..
randommm thing, Im not a neat freak (or a slob) but I HATE water around my kitchen sink. I always have to dry it…
hm, even typing it sounds weird.
omg my husband is the same way! if there is a drip anywhere, he dries immediately.
I do the same thing with water at the sink! I hate when people leave me voice mails telling me what else I’m doing instead of answering the phone!
Gah. I also hate voicemails. Hate them. And with Verizon it is such a pain in the butt just to the voicemail, then I can’t just hang up on the message I have to hit some stupid button. It makes me so angry. If you leave me a message saying “oh, just saying hi, call me back” I probably won’t call you back.
Glad I’m not the only one raging about them!
I must have the fan on, even if it means putting on extra layers of clothing because I am freezing in order to sleep.
However, if you want real random here goes nothing – I cannot stand the feel of cotton balls. My skin crawls just thinking about it. Yuckkkkk…
My husband never listens to his VM, like ever he also never leaves a VM. I once left him a VM with all of his bday presents listed before his bday and he never listened to it HAHAHAHAHA sucker.
I have to have all the light switches pointing in the proper position. If lights are off all switches should be pointing down and vice versa…veering from this protocol will leave you scarred. For life.
that is funny about the birthday presents. and slightly scary about the light switches
I hate listening to voicemail, too!
I wish I had that many running sneaks!! Jealous!
I hate voicemail, listening to them and leaving them. I also hate talking on phone, seriously just send me a damn text!
I am the same way with voicemails and I have an iPhone …. so I seriously have no excuse.
I despise voicemails. I have to listen to them all day at work and it makes me want to stab bunnies. I also sleep with a fan on, even though it is hardly warm enough here in Portland for one- but I am blaming pregnancy hormones on that one. Really random fact: I have to eat my m&ms in color pairs. And if there is an odd number I throw the extras out or make my husband eat them. I don’t do this with any other candy.
oh my gosh…. I’m laughing so hard and yet still feeling sad for the bunnies…..LOL
oh man – i do this too! the mms – not the bunnies. mms must be consumed in even numbers – equally chewed on both sides of my mouth.
look at all of us freaks!
I haaaaate Voicemails and also not a fan talking On the phone . I also love having my fan on with my window open, hate being cold during the day but love being cold at night I’m kind of a weirdo!
Wow I am really jealous of your running shoe collection. My random thing is I refuse to use blue pens, only black ones to write with. I just think it looks nicer, wierd I know. PS Walmart is hell.
OMG I can’t sleep without my fan on either…even in the dead of winter! My boyfriend hates it….lol. I guess my random thing would be I used to play tuba, euphonium and trombone and I marched in two drum and bugle corps.
The only thing I loved about my HTC EVO was the fact that it converted all my voicemails (accurately!) to text. It was an amazing few months when I never had to listen to a voicemail
I also HATE the voicemail and the phone period. I NEVER and I mean NEVER turn it on. I get in trouble from work they can never get ahold of me. Ha but I don;t care. ANd I would DIE to have that collection of wave runners!!!!
I’m not a fan of talking on the phone, either. I think I spent way too much time with a phone pressed against my ear in middle and high school … now I avoid it whenever possible!
I share your hate for voicemails and appreciate the “slide your finger across the voicemail to delete” feature with out having to listen to it 1st that iPhone has put into play.
Random fact: I eat all chips, crackers, snacks salt/flavor side down so I can have flavor maximization to taste bud ratio.
I eat my snacks salt side down, too!
agreed, the salt must touch my tongue! haha.
I am totally cracked out on Diet Mt. Dew. If I run out, it is the equivalent (in my mind) of the world ending!! Sad, I know
Oh and I too HATE talking on the phone! Sorry, I guess you got two randoms.
I can’t stand people that chew gum loudly… with their mouth open.. i automatically pre-judge people based on that…
I know… i should be ashamed…
Oh man…I am so with you on this one. It is INSTANT judgment of the person – the ones that are chewing the gum so violently you think they may dislocate their jaw….kills me!!!
lol …I feel the same way! And I automatically say to my kids: “those gums should come with some kind of directions on how to chew them!” ….and they hate me, because I always say the same thing….
i talk on the phone once a day to my mom, all other times i avoid talking on the phone – email or bbm me!
i work at a running store and we tell people to replace their shoes every 300-500 miles -> thanks for proving our point! love your sticky note/mileage idea!
I hate voicemail and talking on the phone, too!!
Random fact about me.. although I bitch my husband out about how cold he keeps it in the house, I like it cold at night so I can cuddle up in my blanket. I will never confess this to my husband, though!!!
I have to sleep with a super old squishy feather pillow to cuddle up to, I think it has something to do with extra cushioning so my girls don’t get smushed.
VMs are ok, I hate when someone texts you, you answer them right away, and then they disappear into a black hole. I know you were just by your phone, unless it suddenly fell off a cliff, answer my damn text lol.
I totally agree. Totally.
I hate listening to voicemail, too. At home, I listen occasionally but delete as soon as I hear who the message is from! At work, I’m forced to listen to the whole thing.
The only people I usually talk on the phone to are my husband, parents, and sister.
Ok, I have to sleep with earplugs in. I can’t stand the base from the tv downstairs. It’s mounted on the wall right under our bed, and I will literally drive myself to tears and loose my mind if I can hear even the faintest sound of tv base. So, I wear ear plugs to bed. There.
And, I hate talking on the phone too. I never answer it, and never check my voicemails. And now, nobody calls me or leaves me messages. My hard work paid off.
You should buy a box fan (the cheaper, the louder they are) to drown out noise. It worked wonders for me!
I am a candy freak. I eat all the reds, and pinks (in that order) then I’ll go for the oranges, begrudgingly I’ll have to attempt the greens and finally I will succumb to the yellows but only after sugar deprivation creeps in. There is guaranteed to be a bowl of candy with yellow at the bottom for quite a while (by quite a while, this could be 10 minutes or two days, depending on my desperation). This is the only way I can eat them.
Also, I always always have to take the bottom of the cupcake off and just eat the tops. But recently have learned to make cupcake sandwiches. It’s my new love. And waste not want not.
I always eat the bottom of the cupcake first, then the top so I can save the best (frosting!) for last.
Loathe talkin on the phone. Vm only bother me when they dont tell me what they are calling about. I need to be prepared!! I cant stand cabinet doors being open. Drives me nuts!
since I dont listen I will give you a few random things about myself.
i cant stand talking on the phone and I will ignore your call. Please text me or email me.. I respond right away.
back in the day when I was going to school super full time (7 classes) I ate cereal for dinner for a month. I would live on cereal. I would make my kid dinner then have some cereal. Maybe that is why I am lactose intolerant..it was a sad sad day!
and the last one…..i have never had a cup of coffee in my life. Never..
and p.s. I too MUST have the fan on to sleep!even in the “winter”.
I answer the phone all day long at work (to make matters worse, some free cell phone directory assistance has my clinic listed as the ONLY Walgreens in New Orleans – there are like, twenty or thirty- so now I get a million “Can you get me the number to – ” calls everyday). This makes me loathe to answer it other times – my voicemails don’t sit too long, but they’re there because I didn’t want to pick up the phone! It’s not good for keeping in touch with the fam, that’s a fact.
I’m so glad there are people that feel the same way about voicemails!! Is it bad that I would rather just call them back then listen to the voicemail? That’s pretty much what I do…and when I do check it, I make sure I delete it before it even starts!
This is so funny! My sympathies that you had to go to Walmart. Pretty much nothing worse than that.
I also hate the phone. And I keep a recipe card in each pair of shoes to keep track of the mileage.
I sleep with a fan blowing directly into my face all the year. (Even in winter). Not a ceiling fan, but a stand alone fan. Also if I want to go back to sleep and it is light out, I put a pillow over my eyes (leaving my nose mouth uncovered) and pull it tight, putting pressure on my sinuses..it helps me fall back to sleep
I feel the EXACT same way about voicemails… there are 6 on my phone right now… I am such a bad phone talker – if I call any of my friends they always know it has to be a big deal/something important.
i have to counter the vm hatred:
i have about 5 voicemails saved on my phone from my hubby bubby boo bear and i patiently save each one when the verizon vm lady tells me to because….i’m married to a cop and i live with the reality every day that i may not get to hear his voice tomorrow. so i keep any messages from him.
Yes. My son and his best friend were in a terrible car accident. My phone was in my hand for a year afterwards. I couldn’t let it go. He’s a Marine now. I always answer my phone. His best friend was in a coma for three months and almost didn’t wake up. His sister deleted his voice message to leave an explanatory message for his friends. We were afraid we’d never hear his voice again. By the grace of God we did.
My husband is a cop too. I agree with this idea.
Otherwise, I don’t really care for voicemails! Or talking on the phone.
I’m on the phone ALL DAY at work like many other commenters on here….so TEXT ME PLEASE.
Totally agree on the voice mails! I never ever check mine. My little icon actually goes away and deletes the message after 3 days, and I never listen to them because it takes me longer than 3 days to actually want to check messages.
I can’t drink things that aren’t carbonated out of cans, I’ll make the bed at the end of the day (if it hasn’t been made) before I get in it, and I refuse to let my students go pee if I need to go (unless it’s like a dire emergency or they start quoting ed code).
You should let your students pee!
Yes she should!
I bet your fishing crewmates miss you! When are you going fishing again, the stories are the best!
If we didn’t have ceiling fans in AZ we would all dry up and die. I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere.
Random about me.
I wear scrunchies in my hair at night. My husband is a lucky, lucky man.
I never knew that fans weren’t common items in a temperate country until I went abroad (Cambridge) for university! I swear if you don’t switch on the fan here, you’ll be roasted BBQ meat in 2 minutes! No. Kidding.
I HATE voicemail messages too. I went on vacation May 23…..as of today, I still have a vm messsage. I haven’t listened to it yet. I refuse. I’m thinking of deleting it. Soon. Surely, if it was important, they have already called back. right? right? help!
I have a hairless cat named Kitty. I ordered him off the Internet. I also hoard Mizunos. The Nirvanas. I’m jealous of your collection because mine only come in one color.
Get the iPhone and set it up to transcribe your voice mails into text messages. So easy! Come on – get into the next century with your phone!
My random – I hate it when we are in the car and my husband turns off the wipers and they stop but not in the fully “down” position. I can’t leave them halfway there. My other pet peeve, if the blinds are partway open and they are crooked. Must. Fix. Immediately.
The wall decorations in my living room are, on one wall, a country map, a county map, and a city map–excellent references for traveling and cycling. On the other wall are posters from half/full Ironmans I’ve done or been to as a spectator. Motivation!
The country map is actually a world map. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote “country.”
Don’t leave a VM on my land line, you shall end up in the message abyss. Most of friends and fam know to text me. I rarely listen to VM if I recognize the number, if I don’t, then I hit delete! We can’t sleep without the fan on, in fact have been known to take a box fan on road trips. If our hotel doesn’t have a fan we turn the air full blast (white noise). Here’s my weird quirk: when washing dishes, it drives me nuts if whomever is doing the washing, lets the water run continuously. Yet, I’ll take a 30 minute shower! I don’t rinse off dishes before putting in the DW, it’s a dish “washer”
people! You have given me a huge dose if running shoe envy!
Definitely look into getting Google Voice on your phone–it will help transcribe the voicemail (sometimes better than other times haha) and will either email or text you what it says so you don’t have to listen to them- it’s great!
I HATE voicemails too!!! Ugh it just always feels like a tedious task listening to them…when will people learn?!
Fate worse than listening to voicemail: Listening to your friends say, “Hey, it’s me” and “ok, bye” on the voicemail. Duh.
There is a particular order that I feel dishes should be loaded into the dishwasher. If the husb loads it, it’s a sure thing that I’ll rearrange them. I’m fairly certain that it won’t work properly and will blow up if they’re all out of order.
I think the reason so many people don’t like talking on the phone nowadays is because of the long pauses that sometimes can occur…. lol atleast that’s my reason. That’s why texting is soooo much better cause there’s always long pauses so it just becomes common, ha!
But my random thing, speaking of phones, is I don’t like people who are on their phone 24/7.
I am the exact same with voice-mails. My friends and family think it’s hilarious to leave me voice-mails since they know they won’t be checked for months.
I wear 50 hair-ties on my wrist at all times. Black ones too so they look like those sex bracelets kids used to wear back in high school. I’m really classy.
I sleep with earplugs every night. A habit I developed when I traveled all the time and every hotel room sounded different. Now I can’t sleep without them.
I grew up in Washington State and didn’t know what air conditioning was until I was like 12 and realized normal people outside of the PNW have air conditioning. I thought only rich people had it. ha! Our version of AC was seriously a solid ice block sitting behind a box fan… and we only needed that the first week of August.
If that wasn’t random enough…. I’m 9 ways of obsessed with the band Third Eye Blind.
Random fact about me: I almost never watch any television series for more than a season or two because I get sick of the characters or the story line. My parent’s get so frustrated because I’ll just randomly refuse to watch a show that I watched with them just the last season.
I normally have no problem falling asleep, however the moment my alarm goes off, my secondary alarm (my dog) starts putting his nose in my face so he can get his morning hug, and breakfast.
Side note – I am in the process of making the switch to Wave Rider 15′s. Tried them at the local running store and liked them a lot. About 18 months ago, I tried on the 14′s and did not like them at all.
yeah the 14s are terrible, i have to cut down the sides of the shoe just to wear them. but the 15s are true love, they’re really similar to the 13s.
1) I get really uncomfortable about talking on the phone. I really really dislike it!!!!
2) Today is my birthday!
3) I want to try the Waverider 15′s, I was not impressed with the 14′s.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
yeah the 14s were terrible, the 15s are like the 13s, way better.
I have to have a fan on to sleep. I have an oscillating fan in my room, and I even brought the small one I have under my desk on a trip one time!
I just bought a pair of hot purple Newton’s to try to save my knees, but I’m kind of scared of them. I want to run smarter, but I don’t know if my body can handle it.
My friend says I have a touch of OCD since dive head first into things and go all out no matter what I start.
I love my dvr, and I can’t imagine life without it.
Since the vast majority of people seem to hate VM, who the heck is leaving us all these stupid messages??? I also hate it, but reading this learned about Google Voice and will sign up immediately!
Ditto about VM! I like couch pillows looking perfect, even at a friend or strangers house. I will fix them to look nice. It’s wierd, but it makes me feel better!
Help SR….I need your input. What is your favorite Nuun flavor? I am going to break down and try it and need some inside scoop!
i like natural flavors best bc they arent as fizzy or “sports drinkish”. theres a cucumber melon one that i really dig, sorta just tastes like lightly fizzed water.
I’m totally the same way about my ceiling fan! I have to have it on at all times, and I absolutely can’t sleep without it on. It’s one way I like to contribute to our electric bill.
When I buy a new package of socks, I use a Sharpie to number the toe of each pair. So they are “married” forever; in the package…on my feet…and waiting in the drawer. And if one of the pair is damaged or lost, I throw the other away. 2-gether, 4-eva! But otherwise, pretty normal.
Thats really kind of weird, but I like it…. I think i might have to start that. Some of my socks have a color on the toe and even though they are the same sock different color, I can’t wear a blue on the right and pink on the left. That would just be wrong.
I went to ucsb and used to looooove those wannabe forever21 stores…angle?? my fave
i miss state st shopping, all we have up here is teenage hangouts (dumb malls)
Other then my husband I cannot stand anyone touching me! Not a handshake, high five, NOTHING – a hug? Don’t even think about it! AHH just talking about it creeps me out. I don’t even like people standing to close to me. Yet I’ll let my dog drink out of my cup or eat off my fork. Maybe I should have kept that to myself!
I love Emmaleena lol I’m almost tempted to do that!
I HATE voicemails too. So much in fact that I didn’t bother setting up a voicemail when I got my iPhone. Take that voicemail leavers.
Random fact about me: my bedroom has to be completely dark when I sleep. I’ll get up and wrestle with the curtains so there isn’t a crack of light and will close the bath and bedroom door. In hotel rooms, I’ve been known to use a hair clip to keep the pesky curtains shut. Total weirdo, right?
I hoard cookies (home baked, girl scout cookies or gift basket brand) in my freezer and eat them cold with black tea on a rainy day. Double freezer bag them DONE! lasts for upwards of 6-8 months depending on the cookie.
I grew up in Tennessee. When I moved to CT, we were all confused about why no one had ceiling fans and overhead lighting. We have already installed two in our house and have two more to go.
Have you tried any of the other Mizuno models other than the wave riders?
We sleep with a fan on too!! MUST have it. Oh and the room must be DARK. No little green lights. Ever.
I have to cut out those plastic things on each side of the sleeves on shirts or dresses. I know they are there to help with hanging purposes but they drive me CRAZY! Our fan must be on full blast at night as well
I hate VM and cringe at the blinking red light on my work phone and/or the alert on my iPhone. However, since I also hate talking on the phone, I pray for VM when I have to call people so I don’t actually have to talk to them, lol. I don’t know what my problem is, I just don’t like the phone. Text or email work best for me.
I have a weird thing with numbers…like on my car stereo volume…it needs to be on 5, 10, or 15. If my hubby starts playing around with it, I freak and then he laughs at me, lol. I’m also really exact when I leave VM’s or tell people the time (i.e. it’s 5:24, 8:23, etc)…and my family rags on me because they say “Can’t you just say 5:30!”…I also like ending my weekly running mileage on even numbers. It’s a bit weird I guess, lol.
The end of a toilet paper roll needs to be on TOP so you pull down. My husband always put it on upside down (in my opinion) so you have to look under the roll to find the start and then pull up. It’s the battle of the toilet paper roll in my house.
oh i hate that! i have to fix it when it is like that! your method is the right one!
Yes!
I fix it too! Everywhere, even restaurants.
Oh man, I hate voice mails too! I once had 15 and put off listening to them for months!
homie, you win.
Random fact:
I’m double jointed in my arms. People constantly ask how I broke BOTH arms.
I have to have the fan on as well every night, but we have an old crotchety (sp?) one so if you turn it up too high it shakes really bad and I have a fear of fans falling off the ceiling and killing me in my sleep (it’s a legit fear, I won’t sleep if I’m in a room with a shakey fan). So I turn the dial all the way to the left and then turn it back one to the right and it’s perfect. Weird I know. My husband doesn’t get it and always messes it up so it’s my job to turn it on every night.
1.) I hate talking on the phone… chances are I fully saw you calling me and I ignored it. It’s so bad.
2.) I like condiments/mix-ins more than food.
3.) I’m crazy obsessed with SPF. I’m so paranoid about wrinkles.
I hate voicemails I will never listen to them and most of the time have anxiety about what the person is calling for, I hate talking on phones as well! Your outfit is so cute!
I love the amount of shoes you have…amazing!
Dislike voicemail. If you don’t reach me on the phone, text me!!
Must, must, must sleep with the window (our b/r actually has a sliding door) open. No matter how cold; must be cracked at least a little bit. Thank the Lord we live in a safe neighborhood.
Walmart being the 8th level of hell? LOL—perfect description!!
You look so good just for shopping!!! And I would die if I had all those shoes! Hmm, weird sleeping habit..I HAVE to cuddle. When my husband moves his arm off of me or turns I wake up and turn him back and put his arm back around me. =) Don’t worry, he gave me permission to do that. =D
I’m with Shannon on the voicemail, if I don’t answer just text me!
What are the other levels of hell if Walmart is the 8th? lol
Hinge tanks are TO DIE FOR. Love them.
I have to sleep with a fan! It distracts from all the other noises that can happen while sleeping.
by the time I receive Skinny Runner in my e-mail. There are already 579 thousand 269 comments and it takes me quite some time to scroll down to make my point… annoying? yes, but your worth it.
Voice mails do not bother me. Sleeping with out a fan, not happening in my house.
I hate the fan to blow on me. I sleep with a stuffed animal. I still kiss the roof when I drive through a very yellow light. (love your blog!)
If your number is blocked, I wont answer. I only like talking to the hubs or mom on the phone, if that’s not you, text or email me. Yes on Google Voice! I love it
When my husband started working graveyards, I bought a sound machine to drown out external noise. Now even I sleep with it and we like it so much we sleep with two of them. It’s so comforting, neither of us can sleep without one on now.
Random fact. When there are manholes in my lane, I have to run over them, same for the blue road reflectors that indicate firehydrants. I’m a freak! Haha!
It’s so funny that you wrote this today – I just did my 25 random things about me since I had some new followers coming over to check me out. Gotta give them what they want right?
I hate voicemail too! HATE IT… my husband once let his in box get so full it just stopped taking messages and he stopped checking them. Problem solved. I also hate talking on the phone unless it’s to my best friend or father.
The hubby and I semi argue about the ceiling fan too. It’s on medium right now. On super high I wake up with a stuffed nose, not sure why. But on low I sweat to death. we’ve finally agreed that middle of the road is A-OK and if I get to cold well that’s what the covers are for!
Keep up the great work – and I envy your running shoe collection!
I am the same way with voicemails. Which is problematic when you work in an office environment. Send me a text instead. Hahah.
Ok, I’ll bite. Brace yourselves, this is a little OTT in the Random Department. I canNOT NOT NOT walk on the ride side of people. I must always be on the left. When I’m on the right side, every fiber of my being feels totally discombobulated. Everyone who knows me has to endure this special brand of crazy. And they only sometimes torment me by slooooowly drifting over to my Safety Zone on the left. It’s been this way my entire life. The End.
Whoa, totally meant “right” not “ride”. Apparently another super random thing about me is that I return to comments I’ve made hours later and proofread them. Cray-cray.
P.S. The same goes for running. When I was training with a male friend for the Seattle Marathon years ago, it would drive him CRAZY that I wouldn’t let him do the “gentlemanly” thing and protect me from the road. We were at constant odds. My husband gave up years ago – you really can’t argue with this brand of crazy.
Haha! My husband is a cop and always makes me walk on his left, so whenever I’m walking to the right of someone, it feels totally wrong.
Thank God there is someone like me out there! Except you totally have a legit excuse. It’s kind of like how I always say I’m allergic to seafood even though I just don’t like it, because I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and would get laughed at otherwise. Crap, I hope Skinny Runner doesn’t read this. What with her being a fisherwoman and all.
Totally with everyone that seems to hate phone/voicemail.
Random fact about my sleeping…I hate pillows and never use one. I can’t even remember the last time I slept on a pillow. I don’t even like one on my side of the bed. Hotels are the worst, the beds are usually covered with about 10 extra pillows that I immediately toss on the floor.
1 Random fact about DashingDiva….I have to sleep closest to the bedroom door…I’m a phobic about not having a way out…crazy I know…my husband thinks I’m a freak!
Add me to the voicemail haters, which it bad because I work in a customer service based industry. It is not uncommon for me to not listen to my work messages for a week. When people call and say they left me a message I tell them that I have been really busy so I haven’t listened to them, which isn’t completely untrue
I’m TERRIFIED of Butterflies .. Pretty pathetic.
I hate talking on the phone to, I’d much rather text. It’s not really an antisocial thing I just like to multi task, I seem to be alawys on the go and I feel bad trying to do things while talking to people but with texts they don’t even know hahah!
1. My socks never match.
2. I have to sleep with one foot out from under the covers.
A few odd tidbits about my fiance:
1. When at a restaurant, he must sit facing the door. Paranoid that someone will come in and rob the place? Idk.
2. The volume, thermostat and any other adjustable numbers must be even. If the volume on the tv or on the car radio is 11, my dear fiance will turn it up to 12. Weirdo!
I confess. I am totally bad about VMails. I just don’t listen to them. After reading some of these about loved ones with jobs like a cop makes me wonder if I should keep some of my hubs.
Anyway. Random fact.
I love love love love my NEWTON running shoes… Never never never going back to anythng else.
A/c has to be turned down. Fan on, but not too fast. I always fall asleep on my left side.
