Fun Fact Friday: Last Chance Survey

in Fun Stuff, Life

I can’t even remember the number of places I’ve seen this survey recently – it’s everywhere! I saved it for today when I saw it on Brittany’s blog on Tuesday. I hope you’ll enjoy this chance to learn more random stuff about me.

Last food you ate?

Way too many chestnuts! I look forward to these every year and found them a few weeks ago at Whole Foods. I finally remembered to bake them last night and went a little overboard. ;)

Last beverage you drank?

Water spiked with ACV – it was a wild Thursday night!

Last workout?

Haha! I’m enjoying my recovery time, which means my last workout was the Marine Corps Marathon. I’m thinking I’ll do something next week, but for now I’m relishing my break.

Last thing you pinned?

These chocolate protein tahini chia ballsfrom the PurelyTwins a few days ago. Don’t these look delicious?!

 

Last text message you sent?

Did you know my birthday is in exactly 20 days? It’s on the 29th and my Dad was making sure he had my gift list.

Last blog you visited?

Calee’s post on her best work this year. She didn’t mention it, but I think she did a pretty awesome job on some new logos for BWV too. She also added an outline to the leaf on my main logo. She’s so talented!

Last tweet you sent?

Last place you visited?

We visited Athens last weekend for early Thanksgiving with Kirk’s family. It was a whirlwind visit, but so much fun!

Last time you did ab work?

Um…3 weeks ago? I typically stop strength training the week before a big race, so it’s been a while.

Last show you watched?

We were watching Madagascar 3 on On Demand, until stupid Comcast made us choose between recording Glee and finishing the movie. I miss U-Verse – it was SO much better!

Last thing you baked?

I baked the chestnuts tonight (from question #1 above). Before that, we baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning. I added peanut butter before the frosting. It was awesome!

What is the last thing you Instagramed?

From the Colossians study on She Reads Truth, I shared a snapshot of my journal from quiet time this morning. Have you checked out this study yet?

Last item on your to-do list today?

Respond to comments! I’ve been so terrible about responding back to you guys recently, but I love each and every comment. I hope you’ll forgive me! :)

Do you like sprints, or do you like steady state better?

This depends on my mood. Sprints really get the heart pumping and you feel amazing when it’s done. But a good steady state run can be relaxing and refreshing. Can I say both?!

Do you need coffee to get going in the morning?

Don’t need it, there are days I skip both coffee and tea. But I enjoy a morning espresso or latte or tea. Kirk usually makes us espresso while we’re getting ready in the morning and I often get my delivered to the shower. Now that’s service!

I think this was the quickest survey to answer yet!

Let’s talk about those Chestnuts.. I tried baking them before, but afterward, I couldn’t get them out of the shell.. Is there a trick?

I did this today too! It was the fastest quiz ever.

Those balls are probably amazing. I made chocolate tahini balls from someone else’s blog last year. It’s a great flavor combo!

I have never had a chestnut!! The last show I watched was Live with Kelly and Michael. I’m addicted.

I might have to do this one…it does look fairly ‘easy’ and quick since there isn’t a lot of waffling back and forth or choices. Plus, pictures are easy to find. [I always think surveys are going to be easy to do and then I can't find the right picture...or I write too much....or....something.]

ANYWAYS. I have never roasted chestnuts, and except for the Japanese chestnuts I forgot I had eaten until rediscovering a photo of a meal from Austin for yesterday’s post, I don’t remember ever eating one. Is that weird?

I baked some caramel apple cheesecake bars to send to my husband’s work. I accidentally sent them some not so great muffins last week so I have to make up for it!

I need to borrow this for my Fun Facts Friday next week. Springs vs steady state….sprints for treadmill, steady state unless doing specific speed workout

We had Comcast forever, but when we moved, we were able to get u-verse…completely hooked. I love it. LOL @ the water spiked with ACV…that’s the last thing I drink before going to bed. Party animal I know.

I didn’t know Calee did your logos- love it!!! She’s so good!
And I also didn’t know that your bday is coming up- we’ll have to do some early celebratin’!
Hmm… last thing on my to-do list: Take an epsom salt bath & read. It’s going to be a wild night.

I love these kind of posts – so fun!

I don’t “need” coffee, and rarely have it, but sometimes I like it. I “NEED” my juice each morning, and I think the awesome energy from that is why I do not need coffee? :)

Love this survey! I need to do it too. I’ve been reading everyone’s and it’s been awhile since I’ve done a good one.
I’m so happy chestnut season is here too! I look forward to getting the steamed ones in NYC and looking at the Xmas windows every year!
This year I have a soup recipe up my sleeve with them :)
