Favorite Things #7

Happy Hump Day! I’m sure we’re all looking forward to a holiday weekend with Easter coming up, I hope you all have some fantastic plans in place with family & friends. I know my sisters and Nick will be coming to town, yay, and we have a wedding to attend. My parents want to go to church together, obviously, and then do a picnic or outside lunch if the weather is nice. Should be some great quality time with those I love most.

Let’s start the day off right with some favorite things. I decided to change it up a bit and actually do “questions” that I’d love for y’all to answer in the comments section along with me. We can all learn a little more about each other!

Favorite Food

This is hard. When you simply LOVE to eat, then you enjoy a variety of things. Right now though, my absolutely favorite food is a good home made veggie or black bean burger. I cannot seem to get enough of them. I crave them. I will seek them out. I have to ask what type of veggie burger it is though, because I refuse to pay $9 for a boca burger from a restaurant. Honey, I can make that myself, thank you very much! My all time favorite black bean burger has come from Poe’s in Charleston, SC. (Hey Meg!)

Favorite Day of the Week

My obvious answer is any day that I get to see Nick because we’re in a long distance relationship, but if we weren’t in a long distance relationship and I had the joy of seeing him each and every day, then my other favorite day of the week would be WEDNESDAY! Why Wednesday? Java Jog is Wednesday morning and I cannot explain how much joy this weekly activity brings me. Plus, who doesn’t love the day that finally shows you the light at the end of the tunnel? I have hope for Friday when Wednesday shows up.

Favorite Workout

My favorite workout lately has been Pilates Reformer. Since my running injury, it’s allowed me to work on my core, strengthen my body, and leave the gym sore. It’s such a unique workout and different every time, that it keeps my body engaged and my mind curious. If you thought about checking it out, then read my Beginner Pilates post!

Favorite Home away from Home

I’d say there are three definite ones here: Atlanta (where I was born and a lot of my family still lives), Houston (where my cousin lives and I visit a few times a year), and Disney (duh.) I love staying active and on the go, which is why I chose the Prius. Visiting family & friends doesn’t seem as dauntingly expensive with my wonderful Prius.

Favorite Book

I’m a huge fan of the Sue Grafton ABC series. They always keep me intrigued until the end and I feel like I know the character personally. I’ve been reading about her (Kinsey) for almost 26 books now (I just finished W in Jamaica and X will be released this August.) I love mystery. I think if I had grown up tougher, I would have considered a career in the police force or private investigating.

Favorite Color

Purple. It goes well with my skin tone and it’s a nice color for “things” as well – it’s not too bright and bold to make people double take, it’s not too plain and boring, it’s just right.

Favorite Movie

When it comes to Disney, I’m a die hard Mulan fan as you already know, but the Lion King is a close second and when it comes to Disney Parks, the Festival of the Lion King show will steal my heart every single time. For regular movies though, I’ve been a huge fan of the past few Fast & Furious movies. I’ll be seeing the 7th one next week on my birthday at Downtown Disney (right after watching the Festival of the Lion King.) Pretty sure this birthday is going to top all other birthdays! Of course, I just remembered Harry Potter… I’m so indecisive!

Favorite Subject

I was a math nerd through and through. Lately, my math skills have gotten rusty – really rusty! I think math is fun though, it’s like a puzzle. There is always a right answer too. I hated classes that had multiple answers and in order to be correct you had to thoroughly explain yourself. In math, you just follow the numbers or pattern and you’ll get the right answer, no questions asked. If you did it wrong, there is a specific reason why.

Favorite Sport

I’m not a big sport person, I go to football games for the tailgating and I pretty much don’t want any other sports except baseball. I really like watching baseball. It’s relaxing and it’s spring time. If I had to choose my favorite sport to play, I’d say volleyball, preferably beach volleyball. There was a time when I played volleyball frequently, now it’s been a while and I kind of miss it.

Ok, Now it’s your turn!
