    What's your alcoholic drink of choice? Hm, I'd say red wine sangria.  For going out, either something like Blue Moon (beer) or Sprite with flavored vodka

    Do you prefer a night out on the town or staying in? Typically, staying in

    Do you think you'll get a second dog ever? I hope so!  However, unless we move out of the city, I think it'd be too hard to have 2 dogs in an apt/condo.  But....while I'd love a big dog (Bermese Mtn Dog, Golden retriever, Newfounland, etc), I am rooting for a French bulldog b/c I think we could handle that and a bulldog in an apt.

     

  •  How far do you run when you train?

    Tell me about your (swedish was it?) heritage.  :)  Does your family cook any traditional foods?

     How far do you run when you train? It ranges since I'm following a training schedule right now (developed by Hal Higdon, a big runner).  Typically in a week I run 4-5 times:  two 3-4 mile runs, one "mid-long" run: 5-7 miles, and a long-a$$ run: last week it was 14.4m next wk it's 16 (that keeps increasing until I get to 20mi).  The mid-long runs are increasing too.

    Tell me about your (swedish was it?) heritage.  :)  Does your family cook any traditional foods? Yep! I'm mostly Swedish (Dad's side) and Polish (mom's side).  Unfortunately we/my grandparents don't cook any traditional foods. However, my office is very ethnically diverse.  A few guys in my group are from Polish, so they'll occassionally bring in polish baked goods or convince use to go out for Polish cuisine

  • Peanut butter: smooth or creamy?

    Fav ice cream flavor?

    Bad habits/vices? 

    If money/time was not a factor, tell me about your dream vacation.

    Peanut butter: smooth or creamy? I'm guessing you meant smooth or *crunchy*, lol; but smooth!

    Fav ice cream flavor? Green mint chocolate chip

    Bad habits/vices? I often forget to brush my teeth before bed and am terrible at flossing on a regular basis.  I supposed this is somewhat a vice(/OCD), but all of the light switches must be flipped down (instead of up; we have several switches that control the same lights) before bed or leaving the apt.  I also "peel" my nails, which is why I try to keep them painted.

    If money/time was not a factor, tell me about your dream vacation. Ooo, probably a European tour including Sweden, Poland, Amsterdam, Paris, several cities in Italy; ending with a villa in Greece on the water.

  • Haha!  Yes, that's what I meant.  I wrote that pre-lunch, so my brain wasn't fully functioning.  I read it twice and still didn't catch that!

     P.S.  Can I join you if you ever go on that trip?? :)

    1. When are you thinking about TTC? Right now, when we're 30ish (just turned 25 in May); but if we were to move somewhere with lower COL, I think I'd consider sooner, like 28).

    2. Can you PIP your absolute fav wedding pic? Hmmm, that's so hard. Here are two of my favs:

    Probably my most fav:
