Finish This: October

I hope everyone is having a great week and is ready for a Giants win today!!! Fingers crossed! Also, today, 10.11.12, is my cousin's wedding day! Congrats to Bean and his new wife!! Today's fill in the blank idea was stolen from Lisa.

My friends Buster and Timmy

I wish I could get up earlier and run, but I really like that extra sleep in the morning!

I want an apron for Christmas.

I always eat the same breakfast every day. Oatmeal with fruit and nuts.

I need to find a costume for Halloween. 

I feel tired. I don't have a free weekend until....um....

I think that as much as I like the farm box idea, I can buy my own veggies for a cheaper price.

I ask lots of questions about logistics. It sometimes annoys people.

I hear rain. It's starting to rain! Maybe I need some of these?

I smell greens and vinegar. It's because I tried to make it so my greens wouldn't be so bitter, but all it did was stink up the house.  

I ponder the disappearance of socks, and time, and that bag of dried coconut (that I just scarfed down).  

I seek new pumpkin recipes. (here is one good one)  

I play Ms Pacman like a 12 year old boy. Bring it on!  

I prefer mountains over pretty much anything else. The ocean is not far behind though! 

I wonder where I will be in 10 years, mentally and physically (and literally). 

I mean to travel again soon. The question is not if, but when and where!?  

I never have watched a lot of movies that everyone else has seen.  

I plan on having a house on the beach someday. 

I hope to get a new phone soon, but I am not sure if I want to switch from the iPhone to something else or to just get a new iPhone. These are difficult decisions, folks.  

I worry about not spending enough time with people before they are gone.  

I dislike fakers/posers. Be yourself. People may not like it, but at least it's honest. 

I struggle with feeling guilty when I have to say no to something that I really would like to say yes to.

What do you struggle with? What are your hopes and your worries?

This is San's idea, and I love it. Maybe you should join in too!



Maybe I should go running instead of doing this.
I love the smell of pine trees.
People would say that I’m more of a text person than an phone caller. 
I don’t understand the complexities of physics.
When I wake up in the morning I have breakfast right away. 
I lost my wallet in Ireland and almost missed my plane home.
Life is full of interesting people.
My past is full of days spent outdoors.
I get annoyed when that screechy bird sits outside my window and squeaks.
Parties are good when they are smaller.
I wish I had more creativity.
Dogs are cute but they smell.
Birds are a strange thing to have as a pet.
Tomorrow I’m running a half marathon.
I have low tolerance for people who feel entitled for things they don't work for.
I’m totally terrified of getting injured.
I wonder why I sometimes don't feel like running.
Never in my life have I watched the Godfather series.
High school was a time for fun and friends.
When I’m nervous my voice warbles. I hate public speaking!
One time at a family gathering my cousin beat me at ping pong.
Take my advice: Don't underestimate yourself.
Making my bed makes me feel more in control of my day.
I’m almost always dressed in a t-shirt, jeans and flip flops.
I’m addicted to baking, but then I have nobody to eat the stuff, so I eat it all, which can be bad.
I want someone to buy me a house on a cliff in San Francisco. Do you have a few million dollars?

What do you get annoyed at? What have you never done? What is your past full of?

Even though today I am not talking about fitness, head over to Jills to meet people who are!

A couple of great blogger friends did this, and I think it's fun (plus I am a copycat), so here goes!


Maybe I should go to the conversational Spanish meetup at the local library.
I love living near the ocean.

I don’t understand people who are late, flaky or don't follow through with things.

High school was a fun and easy time of my life.
When I’m nervous my sweat is really stinky. (**and I put my fingers in my armpits and I smell them like this. That's gross**)
One time at a family gathering we had a food fight. My uncle started it. Or maybe it was my Dad. Bad!
Take my advice:
Making my bed is a must every day as soon as I get out of bed.
I’m almost always on time or early to meetings, parties and events.
I’m addicted to coffee, the internet and running.
I want someone to take care of any and all car issues for me. I hate dealing with them. I would rather do dishes every day for the rest of my life.
