Three Tangent Tuesday

First of all I have to apologize to Mr. Pear.  You know that I have a weird love for pears.  I left Mr. in my desk drawer at work over the Christmas Holiday.

Look what I found today. I am ashamed of myself.

I considered eating it (maybe I did but I am too embarrassed to tell you).

I am sorry Mr. Pear, I will NEVER waste one of your family members.  I have learned my lesson.

That is a Symphony bar in the background.  For some reason my students bring me chocolate for extra credit...I don't know where they would have gotten that idea?

Workout today:

11 Miles 7:53 average 1% incline.  New shoes are awesome and my calves are feeling it.  Yay for new form.  There will be a shoes post this week:)

Today is Tuesday and that means I share three completely irrelevant facts about myself and in the comments or on your blog you do the same thing.

You can read a previous Tangent Tuesday here.

1.  Billy and I are obsessed with the show 'Scrubs.'

When we were dating we bought all of the seasons and bought scrubs to wear every time we watched it.

2.  I was on Canadian TV while we were in Victoria on our honeymoon.

They asked me a Canadian trivia question and I got it right.  This is right before they interviewed me, I was really nervous.

3.  My dad is an inventor.  That is his job, he invents things.

He is BRILLIANT.

Okay, that's it for today.

Do you feel really bad when your food spoils or goes to waste?

-It is against everything I stand for.  It rarely happens because I can barely wait to eat things before they ripen.

TELL ME 3 RANDOM, TANGENTS OR THINGS ABOUT YOU!!!!

3 random things:

-I will, 100% of the time, when given a choice, choose beef jerky over any kind of sweet treat. I'm a salt addict, what can I say?

-When I am sick I want to be left completely alone. No pampering, no questions, no waiting on me. Completely allow to wallow in my own misery. My husband is the opposite, which confuses the crap out of me, because I don't know how to handle a sick person. Why don't you want to be left alone?

-I have a problem with buying pretty fabric and fun patterns, and never doing anything with it.

I am super frugal (I guess that comes with being a student and only employed part time) so I hate wasting stuff. But if it's got to go, then it's gotta go!!

My randoms:
1- I am obsessed with General Hospital
2- I am one of the only people who haven't watched or read Harry Potter yet. At least I think I am.
3- My mom is so strict, to this day we call her The Nazi. She has no clue. Even though she is from Italy and has a thick Italian accent - Mussolini would have been more appropriate.

You guys actually have Scrubs, love it!
1.) I hangout in yoga or sweatpants way too much but am not ashamed.
2.) I love eating snow off the edge of my porch in my hottub.
3.) Everyone needs to try sugar on snow! I told some college friends about it and they had never heard of it. It's maple syrup + snow = SO GOOD!

poor pear... yes, I feel HORRIBLE when I waste food. :(

scrubs - how awesome are you guys... we love the show, and actual scrubs? most comfortable thing!! :)

Hmm... three things?

I hated math in school, avoided it in college, and my first job post college? an accountant! yeah. ;) I loved it though!

I stick my tongue out when I am really concentrating. I didn't believe it, and just the other day Jason caught me and brought it to my attention! :) funny.

I don't know how to swim. *gulp* !!

Wow - I logged on at the perfect time...the first one to comment....maybe not by the time I finish, though...I'm so wordy! :) I hate when my food spoils!

Random things about me:
1-I LOVE my job. I have always wanted to be able to say that and now I can. Going on 3 1/2 years and I still love it.
2-I have never been drunk, okay or even drank, in my life.
3-My parents are our neighbors and we love it...even my hubby! :)

1. "Newish" reader to your blog (2 weeks??) First time commenter
2. I am hugely in love with the show Dexter, so is my husband. He also thinks he can kill bad people and burry them on our land and get away with it. Thanks Showtime.....
3. I am a sugar-a-holic.....there is no stopping me from eating sugar ALL THE TIME

HA! That's funny. By the time I finished I was 5th...nice. Thanks to the interruption from my 1 1/2 year old. :)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 4:41 PM , Blogger Continuous Changes said...

I hate when food spoils. I even tell the boyfriend that "it is fine". Then he points out the bad spots/mold and I throw it away....pouting as I do.

1. I have naturally curly hair.
2. I once thought I took the wrong car when I left the mall(even though all of my stuff was in it!)
3. People say my mom and I look alike and we don't see it AT ALL!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 4:41 PM , Blogger Jen said...

I hate wasting food too! It makes me really mad when a good cucumber gets forgotten in the fridge and gets all mushy. Yuck! I can't wait for your shoe post. I'm obsessed right now with finding the right thing for me.
3 things?
I like my kitchen chairs lined up properly. I can't go to bed or leave the house if they're not.
I like deep fried pickles with a passion.
Futurama is one of those mindless shows that I love to watch.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 4:42 PM , Blogger middleagedrunner said...

Love this post!
My random tangents
-I am allergic to cough syrups. Makes being sick difficult...
-I can sing most songs from The Sound Of Music AND... It's Always Sunny In Philly. Different, yes. Awesome, YES.
-when I read I fall into what my parents call my "reading hole" where I am so absorbed that a bomb could drop and I'd have no idea.... It's strange, but terrific because I can completely zone out in many situations.

Excited to read your show post!
Check out my giveaway too- I bet you'll appriciate its contents. :-)

At January 4, 2011 at 4:51 PM , Blogger Running and living said...

Love randomness..
1. I love sharing icecream with my husband - I get the "goodies" (chocolate chunks, etc), and he eat the vanilla. Both are happy with this arrangement.
2. I love 1000 count cotton sheets.
3. I would love to be a professional athlete, workout, sleep and eat every day!

i made a special post about my three things tuesday! :)

At January 4, 2011 at 5:04 PM , Blogger Madison said...

Those scrubs you have on are adorable! I love those 3 random things you posted. Fun!

Here are mine:
1) I have an obsession with yarn.
2) I cannot stand iceberg lettuce.
3) I tweeze my eyebrows everyday.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:07 PM , Blogger Pixie said...

First off I too love pears. Have you had the Harry & David ones, they are as good as people say. I'm eating them everyday right now everyone sends them to me for the holidays.

Three random things about me:

1. When I was five I used to lie and say Prince was my dad.
2. The devil on my shoulder looks and sounds like Sean "Puffy" Combs
3. I have never seen the Titanic because I know how it ends.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:08 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

Haha - I love that you guys wore actual scrubs to watch Scrubs! I have the first 3 seasons on DVD, but I haven't watched them in a while.
3 things:
1. I hate to be hot. I'm so glad we moved to Alaska because I LOVE the cold!!
2. I don't eat meat because I don't like the texture, but I LOVE seafood!
3. I have a serious weakness for designer purses, scarves, and workout clothes...but not together. Well, okay, maybe sometimes together. ;o)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:15 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

I just wrote the longest comment and it didn't publish! ERROR. Well, I was saying that I'm obsessed with the fact that you wore scrubs while watching Scrubs. And my tangents had to do with going indoor rock climbing for the 1st time tonight and not wetting my pants while climbing if I get nervous. This comment better publish...or maybe it was a sign that it didn't publish the 1st time that I shouldn't talk about wetting my pants on the internet!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:17 PM , Blogger Stephanie said...

I have to admit that I would be the one to waste food in my house. Ryan will eat anything and everything to make sure precious dollars and produce do not go to waste. Also why we compost!

Randoms:
1. I have a palm tree in my living room this winter.
2. I hate grapes because I get a chalky taste in my mouth after I eat them.
3. I bought a sweater wrap last winter that I thought was adorable. Ryan and another friend of ours told me I looked like a Grandma. I stopped wearing it until the other day I decided to give it a whirl. My boss asked me that day if I had visited my grandma over the weekend. I must burn this sweater.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:17 PM , Blogger Mallory said...

Very interesting facts about you! I like it!!!

As for the pear, I'm sure everything will be okay. Honestly if I do that with fruit I try to throw it outside for the animals. Seriously. Is that bad?

1) I love putting candy canes in hot chocolate.
2) Sometimes I get the giggles and can't stop, even if it happens to be during something serious. This is often why I don't look people in the eye during meetings.
3) When I was lookig for a cool piece of jewelry to commemorate my 2nd wedding anniversary I was on etsy and found a ring I liked. As I got a closer look, the date inscribed on the model ring was my actual anniversary! AND the designer was out of Key West, which is where we went on our honeymoon. Obviously I had to buy the ring.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:21 PM , Blogger Unknown said...

No you didn't! You two used to wear scrubs when you watched Scrubs. That is too cute (and pretty hilarious).

You were on canadian TV - that means you're basically famous. So when we meet, I would like your autograph please. Thanks in advance! :)

When my mom divorced my dad I told her to marry an inventor so that he could invent cars just like the kind grown-ups drive but for kids. I wanted something better than those lousy pretend cars for kids.

I think it is so neat that your dad is a REAL inventor. :) It seems magical.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:28 PM , Blogger Sarah said...

I also hate wasting food. I went away this weekend and was very upset with my boyfriend when I came back and found rotten chocolate covered strawberries. WHO DOES THAT?!?!?!

Tangents:
1. I always dress up in costume for the release of the Harry Potter books and movies.
2. I can't imagine a day going by without Peanut Butter...
3. I read way too many blogs.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:28 PM , Blogger Running Ricig said...

I HATE when food spoils. Mostly, it's because I feel like I'm wasting money, and deliciousness.

3 rando things:
1. I get obsessive about things. When I discovered the TV show Bones last year, I watched every single episode in a two weeks span. I just finished watching 30 Rock in a week. I am single minded about things, which can be good, but most of the time it just makes me a hermit.

2. When I walk the dog at night, I freak myself out thinking about people jumping out at me or following me. Because of this, I usually end up speed walking 2 miles and making it home in record time.

3. I've only ever broken one bone in my body, my jaw, when I was three years old.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:32 PM , Blogger J said...

I was just talking to Brian about where we should go honeymoon. How did you like Victoria? I have never been there!

Ok three things. I can't even remember what I said last week (or was it two weeks)! lol Hope I don't repeat anything.
1. I am a cat person, but I do love dogs too.
2. I LOVE coffee and hot chocolate. I have coffee every morning for breakfast and hot chocolate at night. The caffeine from the coffee never affects me! Its great!
3. I just ate a ton of raw cookie dough out of the frig and I think I am going to go and get some more right now!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:32 PM , Blogger Unknown said...

Ooooo, wasting food is no bueno. My husband and I used to be reeeeally bad at not eating all the fruits and veggies in the 'rot box' as my husband calls it (the crisper in the refrigerator) but we've turned over a NEW LEAF and haven't thrown away food in a looooong time.

1. If I have candy at work (I'm a nurse in the ER), I usually won't share it. I hoard my candy like it's crack... well, it pretty much is my crack.
2. My car runs on biodiesel (a fuel made from vegetable oil). It's a cute 2002 Jetta, not a hippie mobile and YES the exhaust smells like french fries.
3. I hate raisins in ANY baked good. Dried fruit does not belong in pastries. PERIOD!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:37 PM , Blogger Meghan said...

This is a fun idea!

1. I was filmed by a Canadian TV show too! It is suppose to air this month. No clue if I will actually make it on the show. It is a close up of me eating--super flattering!
2. I love coffee and drink it every. single. day.
3. I like to hang weird/random pictures up at work, since they make me laugh

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:38 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

1. I love coffee
2. I like to just hang out in my running gear, I'm a nerd
3. I gather tons of random info in my head and wait to release it on anyone who will listen!!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:40 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

I love you and all your randomness. I hate letting food going to waste and more than likely would have cut the bad part off the pear and devoured it! :)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:44 PM , Blogger ShortSkirts said...

1. I think matching my running shoes and clothes makes me faster, or at least it did today!

2. I'm obsessed with the show the Biggest Loser, new season starts tonight

3. I worked at the University of Alberta one summer in a biology lab, and accidentally created a giant green goo that took over the basement. We were disposing of our bacteria cultures so you put them in this big machine that gets really hot and sterlizes everything. Well turns out garbage bags can't hold liquid that hot, and gelatinous green goo spread all over hte basement when I opened the door. Whoops. My uncle is a professor up there. Apparently its legendary now among the bio students

 
At January 4, 2011 at 5:49 PM , Blogger Meg O @watchmegorun said...

am i the only one who wants to know what your dad has invented? anything super cool? that's so fun!

three things....

1. I can bend my big toe all the way back to touch the top of my foot (gross but true)

2. I (like Chelsea J Raynes who commented a few before me) am obsessed with the show dexter and often have dreams involving people getting killed. it kinda creeps me out but i can't stop watching it!

3. i once ate at planet hollywood in the mall of america across from arnold (the terminator) and his daugther, but was too afraid to say anything!

At January 4, 2011 at 6:08 PM , Blogger BigHappyFamily said...

Hate wasting food ... but that's not random.

1. I went to school at Boston U, and watched the Boston Marathon at least 10 times at mile 25 (outside Fenway right before Kenmore Square). Love, love to watch it. Most years, I cry at some point. This is the first year where I feel like I could run it, (and qualify for it), if I chose to ...
2. I didn't want any kids when I got married, and I made sure my DH was OK with that.
3. My oldest son is my carbon copy. So fun!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 6:12 PM , Blogger Jody @ Raising Fin and Fish said...

I strategically plan my meals to use up all food. Spaghetti follows homemade pizza to use up the sauce. Taco salad follows chili to use up the chili, etc.

Random thoughts:
1. I just did Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones and I am sitting in a V-sit in my sweaty clothes in the middle of my loft.

2. I cloth diaper my daughter because a.) I'm cheap and b.) I can't get over how cute her tush looks in those cute diapers.

3. I'm trying to channel my inner granola and I'm sewing my own breast pads tonight. TMI but not joking.

1. I used to collect my cat's whiskers
2. I still have my baby teeth in a jar...and show them to my friends
3. I didn't know what a "twat" was until I saw the movie Easy A this year. (Please excuse my foul language!)

I love the Scrub-loving scrubbing that you and Billy had going on back then. :)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 6:14 PM , Blogger Liz said...

1. I have a growing obsession with entering recipe competitions.

2. I secretly want to live on the West coast but fear I'd miss my family too much.

3. Your blog cracks me up everyday!

I love that you actually bought scrubs to watch the show. That takes the love of a show to a whole other level :)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 6:33 PM , Blogger Kiki said...

I love your blog!! It's actually made me laugh out loud at my desk...which probably makes my co-workers think I'm crazier than I am.

Three things...
1. I'm obsessed with reading people's blogs! I love that people are so willing to share themselves with others.

2. I drink Coke Zero like it's going out of style.

3. I LOVE Jeopardy! My husband and I watch it everynight before dinner (we're dorks).

 
At January 4, 2011 at 7:03 PM , Blogger EBURNS said...

I love how much fun you create in your life, the scrubs are adorable.

1. On any random days off of school, I always eat lunch and watch Days of our Lives. But otherwise i never watch it.

2. If i get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I grab a handful of cereal before going back to bed.

3. I have a couple of slow songs on my workout mix, because i can get sentimental around mile 6.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 7:08 PM , Blogger XLMIC said...

I get really upset when food goes to waste. I work really hard to not let that happen! I buy less now to help prevent waste, but that means that by the time the day before shopping rolls around it's slim pickings at XL's house! lol

Three random things... I posted 7 on my blog back in October... hmmmm... here's three additional ones:

1. I had a baby 2 months before I turned 46 (she'll be 2 in March).

2. I hold dual citizenship... Italian and American...and so do my kids.

3. I am very outspoken.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 7:09 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

I hate it when food goes bad!!!!

1. When anyone wakes me up as opposed to me waking up alone, I get really grumpy.
2. I literally have food with me at all times. In my pockets, purse, anywhere.
3. Sometimes I eat said snacks in the bathroom or somewhere private because people look at me like I'm crazy when I eat constantly! =P

 
At January 4, 2011 at 7:18 PM , Blogger Nicole said...

1. I must have atleast 8 hours of sleep to function. if i don't... well its ugly! ;-)

2. I take my engagement ring off every night before bed. I'm scared the prongs will break (its insured but i'm a freak) && nothing is more exciting than putting it on in the morning. its like getting engaged all over again!

3. i'm freakishly obsessed with eminem. he is the bomb. i wont lie, his station is #1 in my car for xm radio! love love LOVE him!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 7:20 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

2. I bite my nails when I'm nervous.

3. I sort of wish I lived out the movie The Notebook.

Other than the very bottom the pear doesn't look too bad. Gotta eat what you can!

1. I WILL be on Wheel of Fortune someday!
2. I am obsessed with chapstick (Burt's Bees all the way). If I somehow end up leaving the house without it or lose it my day is a loss.
3. I really need to be working on personal statements for grad schools, and also feel so weird without having school work to do and knowing the this semester I won't actually GO to school. I'll just have one class, which is no lecturing; I'll just be writing a paper and taking a test.

Poor little pear...

I'm battling a cold and my head is too swimmy to think of three (fun) random facts, but I wanted to tell you that I was once set up on a blind date with a guy who was an extra on Scrubs :)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:05 PM , Blogger marathonbaker said...

I hate when food goes to waste! Which is really bad in the food industry, where you feel like you should eat everything instead of throwing it out.

1. I love wearing girly colors - purples, pinks, polk-a-dots.
2. I like to ice fish.
3. I snoop through peoples shelves and look at all there pictures when I am at their house.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:05 PM , Blogger Gracie said...

That pears looks fine to me. Just put it in a crumble or oatmeal or something.

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:13 PM , Blogger Rachel Marie said...

First, I'm mourning Mr. Pear with you. I love pears as well--they are my breakfast fruit every day. Mmmmmmm.

Okay, three randoms about Rachel Marie:

1) I'm probably one of the few women out there who will laugh when her hubby looks at her and bluntly states "Wow, you are hideous today!" This is because my hubby has severe OCD and he twitches when I wear mismatched socks. So, being a woman and therefore naturally a twisted little creature, I wear mismatched socks as often as I can. We're talking pink striped with toes paired up with blue argyle. heheehehe

2) I read. A lot. Right now I'm reading Bitten-Kelley Armstrong, Black Hawk Down-Mark Bowden, and book 1 of The Guardians--Richard Austin. The last one is actually Jason's from when he was 13 or 14. So fun reading it and imagining him as a kid sprawled across his bed ignoring his homework to read instead.

3) If I could meet anyone, living or dead, real or fiction, it would be Dr. Hannibal Lector. Aside from the whole eating people with a side of fava beans, he is the most intriguing "person" I've ever read about. Thomas Harris' Hannibal is one of my favorite books because it really tells who Dr. Lector is, and more importantly, WHY Dr. Lector is who he is. So creepily fascinating. (Usually I hear people say "If I could have dinner with any one person...", but I had to change it to "meet any one". Interesting though he is, I just wouldn't feel safe breaking break at HIS table. Ya know? lol)

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:20 PM , Blogger Shannon said...

Yes, I hate it when food gets spoiled!!! I shop for myself (and I cook for my boyfriend often too). I like to have a lot of options, but that means that sometimes things go bad. I have been trying my hardest to stop this cycle, but produce sadly doesn't have a long shelf life!!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:52 PM , Blogger Shari said...

Cute post. Random things about myself:
1) I watch reality TV like it's my job
2) I wish Christmas decorations (especially the lights) stayed up year round
3) I enjoy drinks more when I drink them out of a straw

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:52 PM , Blogger Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...

True love = watching favoriste TV in themed clothing!

1. I'm super picky about my spinach salads--I go through picking the best looking leaves, then I use the "less-pretty" ones for sandwiches or omelets

2. I have to match my work out clothes

3. I used Invisaline (clear braces) to get my teeth straight b4 our wedding!

 
At January 4, 2011 at 9:56 PM , Blogger Tortuga_Runner said...

I was really annoyed my red onion was bad. I had the pan heating tonight to grill some for some flat bread pizza and yuck, soggy. Really disappointed.

1. Mangoes are my favorite fruit.

3. my husband and I rock out to the opening song of The Office. Like completely out of control rocking out.

oh my, it was too fun reading these comments! Such a great way to get to know your readers. My brain is fried and this is only my first blog to read today and might be my only one...no so sure I'll be good at these three things thing but :

1. I wear ear plugs at night because I don't like hearing my husband breath..it isn't very loud but it keeps me awake like a clock or some other noise.

2. I eat a lot of cheese if it is in the house. Like I'm trying really really hard to not have cheese and crackers right now. I especially love getting that 4 kinds of cheese platter from costco...the gouda is my fav.

3. I had my first child all natural and it was the most amazing and powerful experience of my life. God like powerful. The next two I begged for an epidural! :)

oh, and I can't believe you got the trivia right...I would totally make a food at that...I am horrible at trivia. Love that you love your dad so much! He must be smart with a daughter like you....both your parents I'm sure.

I feel so bad when I let food spoil and have to waste it.

1. Growing up I wanted to be an archeologist and/or paleontologist. For Christmas my Mom and Dad would buy me fossils and books on dinosaurs and ancient Egypt. DORK ALERT!

2. Milk grosses me out and I use almond milk at home as a substitute. However I could never be vegan because I still enjoy yogurt, eggs, ect. And I NEED butter for my baked goods!

3. I am a total cat person. I love my 2 kitties so much they flew with me as my carry-on to San Diego. And let me tell you, their 'tickets' were not cheap.

I feel horrible when food spoils! It is physically painful for me to throw food away.

1. I watch the same junk tv shows as the kids in my junior high classes. It gives us stuff to talk about besides science!

2. I don't like coffee. I'm currently on a no caffeine kick. We'll see how long that lasts.

3. I get allergy shots every week for the 100-plus things I am allergic to. I also carry an epi-pen in case my throat closes. Luckily I never had to use it.

Awesome you guys have a scrubs night to include costume. Great Hubby time for sure!!!
#1-I have still to this date (36 years young) ever broken a bone in my body. Even with all the moutain biking, skiing, tree cllimbing I have done as a kid.
#2-For some reason I feel like every time I run a race (even if it's a 5K, 10K or half/full marathon) I must wear knee socks. Good luck charm maybe.
#3-I am not sure what it is but really snoopy people or people who smoother me drive me CRAZY. It's like I want to curl up in a hermit crab shell and not share a thing with them. I know it's sort of weird but I am a very open book but when you push I close up shop!

I will go ahead and post these on my blog as well but I don't really have too many follwers. =P

BTW I have a #4 and it's I LOVE Carbs (but cut them down for now to fit into a cute dress for my hubs work party next week ssshhhh.)

I hate wasting food! That has happened to me before, with pears also, so I understand. I feel awful when it happens!

3 random things:
1. The husband is enough older than me that he got his driver's liscence when I was in kindergarten
2. I drink diet coke with breakfast every day
3. I'm very much obessed with the show True Life. I think I've seen ever episode in the last 5+ years

-I too hate when my food goes to waste but it happens with my veggies more than I'd like and it makes me so sad!
-3 years ago, I applied to be on the bachelor, and made it to the round where they were going to fly me out for interviews, but then i got too nervous to go!
-i've never learned how to do a cartwheel!!! :(

I HATE IT when food goes to waste. When I got back home after New Year's, I roasted all the leftover veggies in my fridge: 1 beet, 1 sweet potato, 1 onion, and 2 carrots. Oh, and I sauteed 2 zucchini. And then I ate all of that in 2 days...hello, fiber.

You crack me up with your scrubs watching Scrubs.

Hmmmm, three things....

1) I totally love food and health blogs, but won't write my own because everyone else does it better anyway...And I'm super private.

2) I have nightmares every single night. Every. Single. Night. It's because I'm a control freak and don't handle it well when I lose even the slightest bit of control in ANY aspect of life.

3) Cooking is my therapy. I zone out and don't speak while I'm cooking. One of your commenters above has a "reading hole" she falls into...I fall into a cooking hole. Armageddon could be happening outside my front door and I wouldn't know it. This is why I would be a terrible host of any show on Food Network even though I'm a pretty amazing cook (that's not me being cocky, that's just what I'm told by many, many others).

my family and i love scrubs, too. we often quote that show when we're together. so funny!

1. i like celebrity gossip way too much. E!news and Usweekly's are the regulars in the apartment.

2. i really love almost every fruit and vegetable, but i would rather eat dirt than melons. i've tried to like em. just. cant. do. it.

3. i'm an eye doctor, and it still scares the s**t outta me that i made it, practice it, and do it daily. anxiety of missing things or misdiagnosing or prescribing something incorrectly... just pressure of being a newbie i guess!
