survey says.
top o the evening, friends.
it was fun reading about all the lessons you have learned as of late.. a few of your lessons i thought i’d share:
- That if you mix marinara, turkey pepperoni, and cheese into eggs it makes “pizza eggs” that rock my face off! –emily

- that the fear of flying is #8 on the top ten fears of americans…number 1 you ask? public speaking! hmmm, I would rather speak in public than fly!! –EM
- that it’s okay to take a rest day. Even if the weather is nice and I “should” work out. –hundredtenpounds
- that the volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the volume of a prism with the same base as the pyramid. High school geometry. Joy. –overconcerned
- that, when making buttercrem frosting, if you add the butter in too much at a time it will all congeal and look like a disgusting cottage-cheese like mess. So then your chef has to come and fix it for you… grumble… –Kristin (Cook, Bake and Nibble)
- that living in two different states, a plane ride away is freakin HARD! i would never want to do that!! –Naomi(onefitfoodie)

- rest when you need to rest. Listen to your body. –Michelle

- that I don’t function well on 3 hours of sleep, but the workouts when I feel sluggish going to the gym always turn out to be the best ones! –ellie
- that I don’t function on one cup of coffee, it must be 2. Sad but true. –lindsay
- that it’s a bad idea to cut your own bangs with gift wrap scissors. –Mama Pea
oh! and one thing i learned just now.. from going through those comments.. ALL my comments don’t come through on my email! i just saw like 5 that i hadn’t even read before.. huh.. wow.. well that’s discouraging. but lucky for me i went through the comments and now know about the gift wrap scissors thing.. oh, and by the way, Mama Pea, it is also not a good idea to cut them with kitchen scissors.. which is what i did the other day.. and i can’t believe you said they look perfect. a straight-on head shot will tell a different story..
ANYWAY!
my buddy tam tagged me in her post yesterday.. it was one of those random question surveys. don’t those surveys remind you of 8 years ago when myspace was cool? that is what i think of. SO, i thought i would fill out this survey because sometimes a little mindless question answering is necessary, right? of course right :)
meals and moves woven in.
here we go!
woke up super early this morning and completed 15 minutes of plyo for my wakeup call challenge!
goodness. i look pretty haggard in the mornings.
Where would you be able to spend hours and be happy?
at my parents’ house. how does that song go? love at home? yeah. it’s good there. i like it. if i wasn’t a grown ass woman i would contemplate moving back in.. i mean, they’ve got a full gym, a sauna, a steam room, delicious food.. okay, maybe i should move back in!
What’s your favorite kind of doughnut?
believe it or not, i don’t love doughnuts! i would rather have ice cream or a cookie any day of the week. yeah.. now that i think about it.. doughnuts are probably my least favorite of all treats! if i had to pick a flavor, it would be plain old glazed. with coffee. black.
Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
i have just one tattoo~ my dog mable’s name on my wrist. she died in september 2007 and i got the tattoo shortly after her death. her name means lovable. i have my ears pierced (and gauged) and i have a rook piercing in my left ear. the other piercings i have are: both treguses, industrial on the right ear, middle cartilage on the left ear and my belly button. i don’t have any jewelry in these piercings. i was over it.

Are you still friends with the people you knew in middle school or high school?

What is the last thing you ate?
tofu spaghetti a la marshall. you’ll see it below, i promise.
meal 2: turkey sandwich + snap peas @ 12:00 PM

my boss wanted a sandwich too.. so i made him one “to go”. i am a nice girl.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
a veterinarian. that quickly changed when i learned i would have to put animals down :( now, i just don’t want to grow up. period.
Name three things that are close to you right now:
penny, randy & marshall. happiness :)
What was your best subject in school?
english. i love to write. maybe that is why i love to blog? i used to write chapter-long books. for fun. seriously. i wish i could get my hands on those.
What is your favorite restaurant?
are you kidding me? there are too many to name! but, in salt lake city, my favorites include takashi (sushi), ruth’s diner (breakfast), the himalayan kitchen (indian) and aristo’s (greek).
meal 3: new protein bar alert! @ 3:45 PM
my assistant (yes, the one who quit) felt bad so she bought me a box of these protein bars that are sold at some MD diet place she goes to. thanks, linds!
check out the amazing stats & not-so-funky ingredients!
and the best part? the taste. 
i am NOT exaggerating when i say it tastes 100%, completely like one of these:
[source.]
like.. EXACTLY like one. but good for you! i don’t think you can buy the bars anywhere in stores.. sorry guys.. maybe i will have to host a giveaway for some soon!
Any hidden talents?
yes. i can say the ABC’s backwards (so.. the ZYX’s!) and i can blow spit bubbles off my tongue. guess i’ll keep my day job…
What is your middle name?
ann. like lots of girls i know.
What is your favorite website?
not picking. check out my links to lurk page.
How old were you when you had your first kiss?
twelve. his name was levi littlefair. no idea where he is or what he is doing now.. it’s SO funny to think back about how big of a deal that was and how much i liked him! hilarious. geez..
today was cardio. i made up a simple ten minute mile interval workout:
| minute # | speed (MPH) | incline (%) |
| 0-1 | 3.0 | 5 |
| 1-2 | 3.5 | 5 |
| 2-3 | 4.0 | 5 |
| 3-4 | 6.0 | 1 |
| 4-5 | 6.0 | 1 |
| 5-6 | 6.5 | 0 |
| 6-7 | 7.0 | 0 |
| 7-8 | 7.5 | 0 |
| 8-9 | 8.0 | 0 |
| 9-10 | 8.5 | 0 |
i did the above cycle 3 times through and went for 30 minutes / 3 miles, but you can tailor this to however long of a workout you’d like. it was very forgiving with the 3 minutes of walking on an incline at the beginning of each new mile, so you could probably do this for a long distance with no problem! let me know if you try it :)
i finished off the workout with 20 minutes of walking @ 3.0 MPH / 15% incline because i wanted to read the rest of my oxygen mag ;)
i used my new calf skins i got from my physical therapist. it made SUCH a difference and running was much nicer!
total workout: 50 minutes, 4.14 miles, 356 calories burned, max HR 170, average HR 141.
Chocolate or vanilla?
vanilla bean. in ice cream form, preferably.
What is your favorite girl’s name?
hannah. it’s a palindrome and it’s gorgeous.
Favorite store?
ironically, my favorite stores are NOT near me. trader joe’s, H&M and crate & barrel. what a pity.
Would you rather be a rock star or a famous athlete?
athlete. you don’t want to hear/see me try to rock out ;) although i am not so great at sports, either.. how about i just be a professional eater who travels and critiques restaurants all over the world? sure, i’ll do that!
after the gym i was in a big hurry because i had places to be. i also had a huge watermelon in the fridge. and green beans in the freezer.. so..
meal 4: watermelon + green beans @ 6:30 PM
i also had some PB&A nut mix:
i know. no protein. i tried to mix some rice protein powder with some greek yogurt and it tasted horrendous.. so i tossed it.. and had to head out the door to purchase my new water bottle:
just kidding. ha! and yes, in case you are wondering, that is an enormous water bottle in the shape of a penis.. veins and all.
we were doing some shopping for my friend’s bachelorette party (this friday!)~ tell me that would not be hilarious to waltz into the gym with a giant wiener water bottle. i dare you to do it. i’ll pay you a dollar. maybe even two.
Favorite food?
HAHAHA. good one, survey. some favorites: ice cream, cereal, any cheese, eggs, bread and greek yogurt.
What are you wearing right now?
gray jeans (element brand) a black short sleeve sweatshirt (WESC brand) and black flip flops. i am ridiculously surprised that i haven’t changed into PJs yet, actually! that is how i spend most of my time…
What is your favorite animal?
i am partial to dogs, although growing up i had a mild obsession with cats. i hated dolls, but had about 16,384 stuffed cats. i like all animals, really. except spiders.. are those animals? i flipping hate spiders.
Did you graduate from college?
does an associates degree count??? ;)
meal 5: tofu spaghetts @ 9 PM
marshall made this for me and it was ready when i got to his place :) we call it spaghetts. not spaghetti.
he makes his spaghetts sauce from scratch, folks. and it. is. amazing. he may only be able to cook two things, but he does a damn fine job. he also uses protein packed multigrain barilla pasta.
What does your last text message say?
“thanks :’(“ …i don’t want to talk about it.but i want someone to know i love them and am thinking about them. <3
Do you have any nicknames?
lots! my first nickname was “neef” because my brother couldn’t say the “th” part in my name~ so it was “janeefa” shortened to “neef”. i hated it once i turned 12 or so.. and wouldn’t allow ANYONE to use the nickname. now, i love it. i want people to call me neef! my brother still fondly calls me “neef the beef the big, fat feef”~ and i love it :)
nicknames include J, neeth, j2t, j to the, JB, janetha bean (bloggie nickname!) and jaboobs. don’t ask.

meals & moves 
I can wave with my right little toe. I know you are totally jealous. :-)
I was in 4th grade when I have my first kiss. No I’m not still in touch with that person. Wait actually we might be friends on FB, now that I think about it. Lucky him! ;-)
INDIAN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would totally love all the same restaurants.
Thank you for linking to Deb’s interview. xoxo
Love that turquoise sports bra and you are lookin’ AWESOME!
HEY LOVE PIE!!!
HIDDEN TALENT- i CAN LICK MY ELBOW!!
haha for real tho
wow GREAT DINNER!!!! what a man!! he cooks for you!!
love that coconut shake!
Umm Levi Littlefair?? Seriously? Can’t believe I didn’t know that, but so funny! And nice choice of movies. Neef the beef, Ahh the memories!
I can talk with my mouth closed, although I sound somewhat like a chipmunk! Nice talent, right?
And that coconut shake looks fantastic! One day I will cook and make your yummy food!
hellllo abs!!
12 girl? scandalous! <3 i think my first kiss was 15ish? maybe…who knows!
i dont have a hidden talent. geeez i feel so boring!
fav restaurants are ethinic kinds so everything from spanish, indian, greek, mediterranean, chinese, vietnamese, mexican. etc. i love it all!!
haha! you SHOULD be a professional eater! that’s the best job in the world.
my parents followed the articles of this foodie couple who traveled around the country for cook’s magazine (i think), and they always talk about how by the end of their traveling and eating years, the man looked exactly the same and the woman weighed like 250 pounds :)
hidden talent: i’m really, really good at sketching profiles. but only when they’re facing left.
first kiss: 12. ew. he was gross. and probably still is. but he unfriended me on fb awhile ago, out of sheer weirdness.
restaurant: this place called recipe on the uws of manhattan, where i live. it’s brand new and tiny and kinda new american, and they change the menu constantly. there was something with a poached duck’s egg that was incredible.
i love questions! (i know, i keep telling you that…) it’s always so fun answering the ones at the bottom of your posts!
<3
Banana Coconut protein smoothie? That sounds awesome. I need to purchase some of that banana nut protein- I know I’d love it. Good thing I’m almost done with my current protein powder. Love the questions. I wanted to be a veterinarian pretty much up until I went to college. I should have just done it! I’m a vanilla girl too. Favorite restaurant- current obsession more like- charleston’s cafe and their breakfast parfait (duh ;)) . What a fun post to read!
Your sandwiches always look so full and big! haha! x
I just ordered some PB2 and it reminded me of you! I’m so excited to get home and try it! I hope everything with the wedding planning is going great! you look fab for just waking up, btw!
1) I can wiggle my ears. It sounds so medieval now that I remember a book I read about this girl in the Middle Ages who blackened her teeth with soot, dressed her hair with rat bones, rubbed her nose until it shone to avoid getting married to a rich old fat guy. It wrote, and I quote, “I smiled my gap-toothed smile at him and wiggled my ears. He left the next day.” (I love that line. I’m going to smile at someone someday and wiggle my ears.)
2) I haven’t had my first kiss yet! ;)
3) My favorite restaurant is this Korean restaurant downtown. It’s actually authentic and has this amaaaaazing beef intestine (sounds gross but I can assure you it’s absolutely delicious, I just don’t eat the intestine itself :P) and it’s so spicy and delicious. :D
Wei-Wei
omg bahaha could imagine the stares you’d get with that water bottle?! LOL funny even just to think about it!
1. Mmm notsomuch really. I can make my shoulder blades look like chicken wings, but then I learned I just have winged scapulae :( lol
2. My frirst real kiss was in 8th grade.
3. Oh dear. Not sure I can choose this one, but I love Thai, Italian, Mexican, Indian … uhh lol
Have a great one Janetha!
Ahhhh first kisses! I was in 6th grade. I don’t talk to him now…I think he is a trouble maker…lol.
EMPIRE RECORDS!! I forgot about that movie. I must rent it this weekend! Favorite restaurant…anything greek or sushi.
Hidden talent, not sure. Iam double jointed so I can really throw down a mean game of twister. haha!
P.S.
Can we come live at your parents house? That sounds awesome!
Why are all of you guys eating dinner at 9pm!! LoL, this is the 3rd post I read that indicated a dinner past 7pm and I’m blown away. I guess it’s because I am fast asleep by then, so I’m amazed that people in the world are actually functioning! :)
I loved your survey post!
I’ll choose one to answer…
My first kiss was when I was in 4th grade. My BF, who was a boy, would watch the Halloween Parade every year. We would sit on his roof of his house and one year, as the parade was going on, he leaned over and kissed me. It was so memorable! :) I haven’t talked to him in a few years, but our parents still keep in touch.
Have a great day love!
I loved this post, learning all about you!
I don’t think I have any hidden talents… except my ability to read really, really fast… and the fact that I am a black belt…
My first kiss was in 7th grade…so I was like, 13? Haven’t seen him since my high school graduation!
I have SO many fave restaurants. Crazy Burger in my hometown in my top- it’s unique American cuisine, with some vegan mixed in. I love their Wild & Crazy Mushroom Burger!!
xo
K
Adorable post. I’m a sucker for questionnaires.
I don’t think I have any hidden talents. I try to foster any I’ve got! As for my first kiss, I was a ripe old 18 year old (late bloomer), and yes, he and I are still close. In fact, he’s like a brother to me now, even though that sounds creepy :-\
Oh goodness…so much good food in one amazing post. :D I’m pretty sure the coconut banana dream will be made in my future. Mmm….
So fun to read! I love your hidden talents. Sadly, they are better than mine. I really don’t think I have any crazy ones. Have a fabulous day Jaboobs! :D
I can not get enough of your posts. They are so entertaining!!!!!
Hidden Talent: I have an insane memory and can always identify randar characters in movies and tell you what else they have been in. I can also do a killer impression of Robin Leach from Lifestyles of the Rich + Famous from the 80s. Day job as well.
First Kiss: 14 (late bloomer) to Mark Werner. I don’t think he finished high school. No contact whatsoever.
Favorite Restaurant: No favorites persay – I am equal opportunity, but LOVE certain sushi or Thai spots. Mmmmmmm…..
Have a wonderful day my dear, and please send me your new addy – I have a little something for the bride-to-be :)
xoxo
I don’t like donuts that much either. Give me ice cream any day!
1. This is a weird “talent,” but I can touch things that would singe other people’s skin off. Like space heaters, and boiling water. Not really a talent, but it’s kinda cool in a weird way.
3. First kiss = 15. I dated the guy for two years after that, and we still talk occasionally.
3. Candle 79!! Vegan restaurant in NYC :) Their chocolate peanut butter bomb is to die for!
Have a wonderful day lovely lady!!
What a fun post. Does wiggling ears count as a talent? First kiss I was probably 15 I think. The guy is a FB “friend” but that’s all. I honestly don’t have a favorite restaurant now that my fave closed….sigh..
1. Your abs are ridiculous. I am envious :) But I can’t be too jealous because I don’t do anything to work mine! Ha
2. I used to have my ears gauged!!! I had them down to a 0 during college, but I kept losing earrings so I eventually just took them out.
do you have any hidden talents? what are they? I’m double jointed in my hands, can cross just one eye, and can play the piano
how old were you when you had your first kiss? are you still in touch with that lucky kiss recipient? VERY first kiss? like 12. First REAL kiss? 16. Nope, not still in touch.
what is your favorite restaurant? what kind of cuisine is it and what is your favorite dish to order there? Lately, The Palisades. Their pizza is amazing, but I also like their salads. It’s just American, I guess – local ingredients with things like salads, local trout, local steak, pizza, etc.
Also – I LOVE the name Hannah and really wanted to name one of our eventual daughters that, but then I found out that my ex-boyfriend’s daughter’s name is Hannah and now I don’t want it. Is that weird?
so i just tried this mung bean pasta last night and it was delicious! i thought you might be interested, since it’s pretty low carb and has 20g protein per serving! i can’t remember the brand i tried, but i got it at whole foods and eden foods makes one too!
Empire Records!? I *love* that movie, but every time I mention it NO ONE knows what I’m talking about. :)
My middle name is Anne too…but I guess the “e” makes it different.
Hidden talents: lifting my eyebrows individually and wiggling my eyeballs <— that one's gross. And I can't do both at the same time, it makes me dizzy.
I heart your use of the word haggard. that’s one of my favorites. obscure word? I’m a sucker for it.
EMPIRE RECORDS!!!!! Best. Movie. EVAR!
Wow that dinner looks awesome! What a great guy you have!
Hidden talent? I can spread all of my toes out and it makes me look like a duck. =) I used to only be able to do it on my right foot, then I practiced til I could do it on my left. Nerd? Yes.
First kiss? Hilarious story! Everyone knew we were gunna do it so they all waited outside my house. Jason kissed me and then ran out the door and fist pumped. hahaha! And yes, I still know him. He just got engaged to one of my good friends! haha weird!
Favorite restaurant? I’m with you… that’s just a mean question! I’d have to go with Blue Sushi. or Sake Bombers which is upstairs from Blue. and it’s Red inside.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Empire Records. I haven’t seen it in forever. The soundtrack was like my favorite CD in high school.
So I’m a freak…my hidden talent is that I can wrap both of my arms around my head. My shoulders are double jointed. It’s more than a little creepy looking.
Levi is not on Facebook – I’m so disappointed. Maybe he goes by Lee now.
I used to love those Myspace surveys! My first kiss was at 15, kind of old compared to a lot of girls. I ended up dating the guy for almost a year, but we don’t talk now unless we happen to see each other around. I really don’t like restaurants that much, and I can’t think of any hidden talents except for an amazing ability to climb trees.
I keep meaning to say this everytime there is a snap of your bedroom on the blog: NICE radiohead poster! They are my faves. Love.
Ooh, so have you tried the new Luna Protein bars? They sent me one to try (chocolate and pb) and it was delicious! 190cals though for something pretty tiny. However, 12g protein! Much better than normal luna stats.
Love to you! xx
i miss youuuuuuuuuu. cant wait for summer……….for many things but 1) INCLUDES reading Janetha’s blog.
boo school!
Your spaghetts looks delicious! Such a yummy classic. And I love 100 grand bars so I bet I’d love those protein bars too! My favorite restaurant is this place called Mediterranean Deli, and I bet you can guess what kind of food they serve! Their chicken souvlaki with hummus is insanely good, and they make whole wheat pitas from scratch.
Hey NEEF :)
I will forever refer to you as that from now on. k?
1. I can spin a basketball on my finger for hours on end :)
2. My first peck? I was 10. Yes, I still keep in touch with him! First real kiss? Truth or dare, age 13. Never talk to the kid, but see him around sometimes and courteously say hello.
3. FAVE restaurant is probably Charlie Brown’s steakhouse. Not for the steak. They’ve got the BEST most amazingly delicious salad bar in the whole entire world (with the exception of WF, I’m sure).
PS- I’m a liar. I thought of a restaurant I LOVE even more!!!
The GREEN BOWL. Only one around and it’s in state college near Penn State University. It’s an all you can eat buffet of an array of veggies (uncommon ones too!) with your choice of one meat, where you make up a raw bowl of stuff, choose “sauces” that you put on yourself, and then hand it to the hibachi chef’s to cook up! I always have mine made in the Wok and without oil. COOLEST PLACE IN THE WORLD.
CHECK IT OUT:

You just made my morning a little better!!! 100 Grand bars were my favorite in High School. Man I haven’t had one in years. I will most certainly be on the look out for those protein bars.
Thanks for the tip!
New protein bar??? Count me in!!
Do you mean first REAL kiss? If so, I was 14 and am still with the lucky guy :D
its kinda scary how much we are alike…what did I want to be when I was younger? a vertrinarian…my dad has me filmed on tape saynig that this is what I want to be when I grow up every year at my birthday parties growing up (he video taped EVERYTHING!)
that new protein bar tastes like 5000 grand?!?! which happens to be my FAVORITE candy bar
i HATE doughnuts too!!! they are def not my favorite treat! i would prefer a big ole muffin from Dunkin donuts if I went there! they taste like fried dough to me which I loathhheeee
that tofu speghetti looks so amazing!!! What a good hubby Marshall is going to make!!
ummm first real kiss when was i was 13…he was my BF at the time (whatever that means when you are 13 years old) and we always kept this secret love connection. About 2 years ago (when i was single) we um, had a one night stand….Havent seen him since! hahaah
favorite cuisine?? that would be middle eastern, mediterrean, greek…all things hummus, feta, falafel, lots of spices ahh i love! my dad is from israel so i grew up eating all of that stuff and LOVE it with a passion!!!
love you!
Hey janetha! I’ve been eating the new protein bars you featured for yearss!! They are AMAZING!! I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know you can purchase them from mydietshopz.com. My other favorite bars are the ‘Proti’ brand bars. The stats are crazyyy and the taste is right up there as well! The best flavor is the caramel cereal bar! have a great day!
Did you read “Hannah is a Palindrome” in school in 3rd grade??? I did and I totally think of that story every time I hear the name. Plus, I also get a little annoyed when people spell it Hanna because then it is not a Palindrome!
1. I can do tounge tricks. Let’s just say they stop men in their tracks in a bar…pretty funny.
2. I was 13 (french) and courtesy of facebook yes I am although I hadn’t spoken to him for over 13 years before FB.
3. My favorite restaurant is my friends… http://www.tulibistro.com and in summer they make a summer stroganoff that rocks my world. Unbelievably amazing. They put fresh tomatoes and fresh homemade pasta with locally grown and fed beef. it’s unreal!!!
1. do you have any hidden talents? what are they?
Outside of the bedroom, no!
2. how old were you when you had your first kiss? are you still in touch with that lucky kiss recipient?
10? No.
3. what is your favorite restaurant? what kind of cuisine is it and what is your favorite dish to order there?
NoMi in Chicago. Expensive, swanky, and delicious. My kinda atmosphere!
Hey Neefy Nash! I read this post in bed (again) last night and then woke up this morning with your penis water bottle on my iPhone next to my head and a big puddle of drool. Lovely.
Thanks for the bang info. Wow, this comment is getting curiouser and curiouser.
Sorry the rice protein wasn’t your thang…it’s an acquired taste. Almost Friday, whoo hoo!!!
This was really fun to read! I bet if we did a survey of all bloggers’ favorite subjects in school, English would be the winner. We’re all writers at heart! :)
Dude, you look pretty darn good first thing in the morning! Haggard, no way. You should see me. Actually, you shouldn’t. I will spare you that.
What’s the quote from Einstein about special talents? I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious. :)
That water bottle cracked me up. Hooray for new protein bar finds! And I think that if you can make a good spaghetti sauce, you are golden. Infinite possibilities. Love the answer to your survey! Ah, so fun getting to know people this way.
1. do you have any hidden talents? what are they? does being able to fit a cigarette pack in my mouth count? That’s all I’ve got…and don’t ask me how I found out. OH! I can do a babyfreeze (breakdancing move)
2. how old were you when you had your first kiss? are you still in touch with that lucky kiss recipient? um…11? I think? I am pretty sure we are friends on FB but never talk.
3. what is your favorite restaurant? what kind of cuisine is it and what is your favorite dish to order there? DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE! Okay, if I had to pick one would be my diner in New York. It’s Greek so heavily Greek influenced meals alongside typical New York deli/diner food…it’s not the best of places, but the memories and associations are what make it so special. My order? Chicken feta wrap (hold the olives) with salad instead of fries, no dressing but a bowl of tzatziki. Thanks.
Oooh, good lessons learned! I’m going to go back and read all the comments on that post.
1. hidden talents? Not really. I don’t have many strange talents. I guess my only one would be the crazy things my eyes can do.
2. I was 21! Haha. Besides cheek kisses, it took forever. I was way too shy when I was younger so it never worked out. I have no clue where that guy is now.
3. My favorite restaurant? Mmmm, any good mexican place. There are a few that tie in my mind for favorite. I love fajitas!
can we talk about the fact that i want to live home forever? haha mainly because deej sometimes still does my laundry for me and occasionally foots the tjs and costco bill (like she will tonight) hahaha devil child i am.
can we also talk about the fact (random and out of nowhere) but the fact that your wedding is REALLY soon!!!!
..so is the one i’m in..
…i need some maid of honor speech tips…
That penis water bottle is every girl’s dream. haha. This must be the sillies thing I’ve ever seen. Who buys shit like that?
Oh the survey! I still have to fill it in.. but I love your answers. Especially the spitting bubbles part. I have no talents at all.
Hey neef! Loved your answers glad you had time to do the questionnaire! Foods is looking fab x x
Lovin’ the tofu spaghetts! YUM.
Hidden talent? I can sing in random foreign languages (I studied classical voice from 7th-12th grade).
I’ll admit it. I was 21 before I got my first kiss, and I still happen to be dating the lucky recipient:)
Hahaha, great minds think alike Neef! Loved reading your survey answers!! I completely forgot about Empire Records. Oh Rex Manning… Oh, and fun that we even had some of the same answers! I must say, I am dangerously close to never leaving my mother’s house now that I’m “temporarily” living back home ;)
1. I suppose my other hidden talent is that I can play a million instruments and sing. People who know me in real life know this, but it’s never something I talk about on my blog much.
2. My first kiss was Ryan Lafferty when I was 12 (or 13?)He’s actually living in the U.S. as a pro hockey player now. How bout that!
3. Calactus is vegan/vegetarian. Everything is made there with fresh ingredients and everything on the menu is downright delicious. Favourite dish being their veggie burger :)
Lots o’ luuuurve!! xoxo
Awww, love the neef story, so cute!! :)
Empire Records os for sure on my list of favorite movies as well! Classic!
Favorite restaurant is a wine bar/bistro close by my house called The Barrel Room. They have things like panini’s and fish and pasta-such a cozy little place!
Ahhhh favorite candy ever!!!! Love those 100 Grands.
1. Hidden talents? I can wiggle my ears! And extend my neck VERY long. But I can’t do both at the same time. I’ve tried.
2. So first kiss was not until freshman year of college. Slightly embarassed on that one, but you know what? Better late than never! ;-)
3. Oh goodness so many fave places to eat. Including High Tech Burrito and Firestone’s Grill. I LOVE BBQ. Love love love. I also love Mexican. I’m not huge on Italian (pizza is OK, but I never like to order pasta out).
1. hidden talent? hmmm. i have perfect pitch. can’t sing, but i have perfect pitch. i also have an uncanny ability to find things. oh! and deja vu.
2. first kiss….june 2009. i was 23! eep. i beat you Tay! nope, he totally ditched me! he wanted to go all the way, but i said HELL NO.
3. hmm. not sure what my favorite restaurant is! maybe now it’s the boiling crab…and i get RAJUN CAJUN shrimp! i do adore mexican food!
I love the tofu spaghetti. As long as a person has one signature dish, they’re golden.
I think I was 11 when I had my first kiss. It was pretty hilarious. He made my lip bleed and gave me a blow up chair.
HIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you! I am working on catching up on yo posts!!
Shoooo, hidden talents? Tongue to nose and chin. Can tie a cherry stem with my tongue. Now, that is something MamaJ taught me to do when Matt and I were little and waiting for a table at restaurants. THANKS MOM!
Oh gosh, I don’t remember my first kiss. That either means I was a little ho or it was awful.
Fave restaurant is La Medittereane in SF, where I once ordered hummus for an appetizer and then dessert. SO effin good!
Love you so much!!! Have a faaaab weekend! xoxoxo
