Re: Thursday Poll!
Are you warm or cold natured? Cold.
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? I wouldn't say I've taken it up, but I'm doing it here and there. Currently doing the C25K, but I'm not really enjoying myself. I'm more of a Zumba/Elliptical/Walker.
Do you like to cook or bake? Cook. I'm not great at it, but I'm good enough. Love me some cookies/cupcakes though.
Any plans for the weekend? We're being pressured to go out with BIL and SIL to this white trash bar after their work party. I don't think I'm up for paying a babysitter.
What's for dinner? Balsamic and honey pork chops, mashed sweet potatoes, and a salad with cucumber, carrots, cheese, and hard boiled egg.
When is the last time you cried? Why? Thanksgiving. Sucked being away from H.
Are you warm or cold natured? Warm.
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) I've started to run again. I've NEVER been a runner, but one of my goals is to run a 5K next year...gotta start getting back in shape!
Do you like to cook or bake? I'd rather cook - I suck at baking.
Any plans for the weekend? JJ turns 2 on Saturday! The weekend's all about him.
What's for dinner? I'll probably make tacos for me and soup for JJ. I've been wanting tacos all week.
When is the last time you cried? Why? Tuesday morning. I was upset because of all the vertigo I was experiencing with an undiagnosed inner ear infection. I thought I was going crazy until I figured it out and went to the doc!
Are you warm or cold natured? Warm natured.
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) Yes, I have. I needed to do something and I just don't get as motivated by DVD's and I don't want to pay for a gym membership. Running is essentially free. I ran the Turkey Trot 5K downtown last week.
Do you like to cook or bake? Cook. I don't like having to measure things. It takes up time and measuring tools get dirty.
Any plans for the weekend? Friday: Happy hour with coworkers. Saturday: Judging All-State auditions in the morning, cleaning house/yard with H in the afternoon, a friend's party in the evening. Usual Sunday activities.
What's for dinner? I think butter-herb chicken, brussels sprouts and brown rice.
When is the last time you cried? Why? I may have shed a tear for a completely lame reason a week or so ago. Way too lame for me to even want to state that reason.
Are you warm or cold natured? Is it possible to be a little of both?
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? I haven't, but I really want to. I just need to make myself motivated.
Do you like to cook or bake? It kind of depends what it is that I'm cooking or baking.
Any plans for the weekend? Nothing but studying for my finals.
What's for dinner? Maybe Subway?
When is the last time you cried? Why? Tuesday; I had a really bad day-my phone crashed when I tried to update it, then I went to get a part for our computer charger so I could try and get everything back on my phone and couldn't find what I needed; and on top of it all I felt like crap. I had another charger that worked on out laptop but itunes has not been updated on it so after waiting for the new itunes to download for almost 3 hours a box popped up letting me know that there was not enough room on the computers memory to download itunes. I still don't have everything back on my phone and I am having to maually enter all my contacts and get my apps all over again. It sucks balls!
Are you warm or cold natured? Cold
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) I have from time to time but never gotten far enough into it to actually run a race, hopefully now that we have joined the gym I can start training.
Do you like to cook or bake? Bake
Any plans for the weekend? Friday we plan to go to the gum
Saturday: hopefully meeting up with my BFF and make some Christmas wreaths, going to the Christmas parade in town and dinner afterwards.
What's for dinner? I just go done with lunch so who knows. Maybe soup since I am still feeling like crap and on my 2nd day off of work because of it.
When is the last time you cried? Last week Why? I had been away from M for 6 days so I was alittle emotional when she gave the biggest hug and kiss when I finally saw her.
Are you warm or cold natured? Cold. It can be the hottest summer and my feet will still be cold.
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) I do it if I ever get the extra time. I haven't done any races yet but I would like to starting in the Spring.
Do you like to cook or bake? I love to bake! Growing up that was always a bonding experience for my mom and I. Also some of my greatest memories where in the kitchen with my grandma helping her bake.
Any plans for the weekend? Going to Dallas Saturday for my niece's 1st birthday. Will probably do some shopping. Sunday coming home and getting ready to start the next week.
What's for dinner? Chicken something. I have 3 chicken breasts in my fridge I need to do something with. Might just pop them in the oven with some bbq sauce and add a veggie.
When is the last time you cried? Why? Last night. CNN had posted photos of David Kirby and his family while he was dying of AIDS. I remember them from when I was a kid, but they never seem any less moving.
Are you warm or cold natured? Cold
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) Not a chance

Any plans for the weekend? Hmm...maybe just taking it easy and catching up on the DRV. Other than that, I'll be working from home if I don't force myself not to.
What's for dinner? Not sure yet---about to run to the store, but pasta with bacon, kale, and sun-dried tomatoes sounds great!
When is the last time you cried? Why? I teared up this morning on the way to work. Listening to the end of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows audiobook. Gets me everytime!
Are you warm or cold natured? I like the warm. I'm always cold.
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) I've taken it up here and there over the past few years, and I did this summer as well.. until I realized how much I utterly hate running. I'm not against doing another 5k here or there, but.. yeah. It sucks.
Do you like to cook or bake? Both!

Are you warm or cold natured? I'm usually cold compared to H, but compared to other women I'd say warm natured.
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? Yeah I guess I have. I've run a couple of 5k's the past couple of months, but I don't run very often during the week. Still mostly just do CrossFit.
Do you like to cook or bake? Bake. But I try to limit myself. I freaking love sweets.
Any plans for the weekend? Dinner with a friend Friday night, Bowling with IL's Saturday morning and Big 12 Championship Saturday night! Sunday is Christmas with the IL's since my BIL will be in town.
What's for dinner? Leftover Vegetable Lasagna from last night (everytime I say Vegetable Lasagna I think of Seinfeld, lol)When is the last time you cried? Why? Yesterday. I was having a bad day, work was super duper busy, I had a French test last night that I wasn't ready for, and I couldn't stop thinking about my family pets that my parents gave away after they got divorced
I'm a very emotional person and I get stressed very easily haha.
Are you warm or cold natured? Cold
Have you taken up running? If so, what made you start and have you done any races? (I've noticed some nesties have started running) I'm in the middle of week 4 on the C25K program! I was tired of gaining weight and I read that running is the fastest way to shed the pounds. Plus my MIL is really into running, so it's nice to have someone to motivate me. I'm really enjoying it so far, the first day was horrible, but it's been pretty fun since then.
Do you like to cook or bake? Both are fun, I'm not terrific at either, but I like trying.
Any plans for the weekend? LOTS of studying for finals. Cleaning and finishing painting and stuff since I somehow got talked into having 15 family members in our teeny tiny living room for Christmas Eve =/
What's for dinner? Ugh, food does not sound good at all right now. I feel very sick. I'm just ready to go home and crawl into bed.

When is the last time you cried? Why? This morning.C was fussy this morning when I was getting ready and I wanted to hold him, but I needed to get him to my moms. Then after I left him, I felt horrible and cried. I was a mess. It will get better...I have to keep telling myself that.

Any plans for the weekend? Friday I am going to see the Chickasha light with a few friends. Saturday and Sunday I will be devoting all of my time to my senior portfolio and finals.
What's for dinner? Whatever I can find. lol. Probably leftover chicken and pasta. H is not home so I most likely won't cook.
When is the last time you cried? Why? Tuesday night. I was feeling super crappy and had all over body aches. H wasn't home until after 12 that night and when I woke up and found him in the living room I just lost it. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt that sick.
