Good evening everyone!! How goes it? I’m doing great now. Makenzie has continued to improve all day, thank goodness. Hopefully things will get more back to normal soon. Until then, I just go with the flow. I was pleased to see so many of you feel the same way about that when it comes to blogging. We have to be real. Thanks for all of the feedback!

I have mentioned before that I hate eating fish. Except for sushi. I will eat the raw stuff all day long. Give me a grilled/boiled/baked slab and I will grimace. The only exception is Cheeky’s Fish Tacos. Odd, I know. I always thought that and my hatred for even remotely soggy bread were my only ones.

I realized different today. I have some strange food habits. I can be very particular about my food and taste preferences, often in ways that make no sense. I had my typical daily apple today and noticed that since it was a Honeycrisp I had to eat it whole.

Any other variety of apple? I have to eat it in slices.

I have other things that I have to do with my food. For example, whenever we make sweet potato “fries” at home, I only like them cut into discs. Not the traditional fry shape.

I have to eat with the small utensils. It bothers me greatly to eat with the big fork or big spoon from our cutlery.

When I have pizza, I crave a soda. I really don’t drink much soda at all. I did the first trimester because it helped ease the queasy, but other than that its far from a go-to beverage. Except with pizza. I adore it with pizza.

It grosses me out to mix food or have food touch on my plate. I would eat out of M’s segmented children’s plates if they were big enough. In fact, I had plastic plates with the 3 segments all through high school.

And oddly enough, as this publishes, I am likely enjoying a bowl of soup with our church small group. I love soup…even though it’s a whole bunch of foods mixed together and soggy. 😉

• What are some of your more interesting food preferences?
• Do you prewrite posts? I obviously did this one because I’m at small groups. I actually prewrite many of my posts since I like to write in the morning before M wakes up and during her nap. I then tweak, edit, and add photos just before publishing. I won’t prewrite posts for things we do that I’m not sure how they will go though – like what we do on weekends, etc.

Ahhhh, Saturday. I don’t think the chance to sleep in on a Saturday morning ever gets old. I stayed snuggled up in bed until 7:30 and it felt glorious. It’s been awhile since I got a solid 9 hours of sleep. 😀

I might have gotten even more than 9 hours. I sort of drifted off here and there while watching a movie last night. Our local Redbox had nothing in stock for our regular Friday night movie, so I chose Letters to Juliet.

I figured it couldn’t be too terrible and would likely be a better choice than Space Chimps 2 or Lake Placid 3. Oh my goodness, was it ever boring. I know chick flicks tend to be very predictable, but at least most have some humorous anecdotes or creative touches. Not this one. I don’t recommend it.

So far today all I have done is occupy myself with the many bags/boxes of goods from my sister-in-law. So, I don’t have much else I can think to say. Instead, I will leave you with some fun Q + A – from The Fit Bridesmaid and All Kinds of Hungry.

2. What is your favorite TV show? Friends. It never gets old.
3. Do you have any siblings? Two. One sister, one brother. Both younger.
4. Where do you hope to be in 5 years? Basically where I am right now – being a mom, loving on my fabulous husband, and pursuing my passions with either work in the fitness field, blogging, or a combo of the two.
5. What’s your favorite fruit? Apples. I literally eat one every day.
6. What’s your favorite scent? Baby powder. I don’t even use it, but I love the clean and innocent smell.
