This upcoming Saturday morning, I'm participating in SUAR's Virtual Race for Sherry Arnold, the wife, mother, runner, teacher, who was abducted while out on a run, and then murdered. You can find more info on the race HERE.
Last week I posted my 11 Random Things, then found out I was also tagged by The Irondiva Colleen, MCM Mama, and Tortuga Runner from Tales of an Ambitious Slacker. So I'll answer those questions now:
Colleen asked:
1. Where is
one place in the world you'd love to travel? Japan!
2. What one
food could you eat for every meal? Pizza, even a bad pizza is a good pizza.
3. If you
were a super hero, what power would you possess? I think it would be cool to read minds.
4. If you won
the lottery, would you still work? I would volunteer and pay it forward.
5. You are
stranded on a deserted island... what three things do you have with
you? lip balm, a book, water
6. If you
could bring one person to the island, who would it be? My husband, because my kids have their whole lives to visit a deserted island.
7. What's
your favorite holiday? It's a tie between St. Patrick's Day and Christmas.
8. What movie
could you watch over and over and over? Tommy Boy.
9. How many
licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Ten, before I bite it.
10. Would you
rather be really hot or really cold? Really hot, I love a good sweat.
11. If you
could change just one thing about yourself, what would it be? To not be so impatient.
MCM Mama asked:
1. Do you sleep with a lovey? If so, what? Does my husband count?
2. Where’s your favorite place to go on vacation? Somewhere warm where I can swim and veg out.
3. Have you ever been on a cruise? If so, where did you go? I went on a cruise once with Mike and his family. We went to Aruba, St. Thomas, Venezuela, Dominica, and Grenada. One night when I was in the shower, the ship suddenly slowed down, and I bumped into the shower stall. Apparently two girls missed the ship, and they got a water taxi to bring them to the ship.
4. What’s your favorite day of the week? I love Thursday, because then the weekend is just one day away.
5. Is there a vegetable that you absolutely refuse to eat? I'm not a fan of green peppers, they give me heartburn.
6. How close to where you were born do you live? About 4 hours away. I was born in Queens.
7. How many states have you lived in? Just one, NY. But I've lived in Long Island, Queens, Cortland, Rochester and now Syracuse.
8. Favorite snack? some kind of combination of cheese and crackers.
9. Favorite non-running related blog? MODG is pretty funny.
10. Are you addicted to pinterest? (find me there if you are LOL) I like it, but I don't think I've hit addiction yet.
11. What’s your favorite room in your current house? I love our family room, it has two big couches, a fireplace, a wall of french doors, and a vaulted ceiling.

Wait...Google Friend Connect is retiring? I had no idea! why?
ALways fun to read
Fun to read, I recently did this type of blog housekeeping as well!
Hmm. I don't want to do a Facebook page. Not sure what to do. I did like your FB page. Does that mean I will get it. Yeah, I think it does.
These posts are so much fun!
Mmmmm, chocolate.
I had no idea about Google Friend Connect...is that different from the box that allows you to "follow" blogs.
This sounds like extra work. This is not good!
- Amen about the pizza. Of course a real slice of NY pizza is the very best, but I'll eat frozen, the crap at Chuck E Cheese, or just about anything because like you said - it's pizza!
- Yay for St Patty's Day! Erin go Bragh! :) It is the one day of the year I hate living in Wyoming. I want to be in NY so I can get green bagels and go to a parade!! (I make a killer soda bread though) :)
Loved this post!

I am reading you from Reader as we speak! I also discovered that all the blogs I read from GFC are in my reader, fyi. Must be an automatic transfer of some sort.
Pizza, yes!
totall with ya on the pizza thing
Always fun to read these posts! I'm with you on the pizza - I can always eat pizza!
Glad you got your FB page set up.
I have yet to join the Twitter world, and now I'm getting pinterest requests after all I simply did was want a recipe on there. I have NO idea how the whole pinterest works. ugh.
There is a fro yo shop on every corner here it seems. That stuff is so addicting! Bleh!
I had about 400 people Google+ friend me today....I'm sure it's in conjunction with the friend thing going away....but it's making me manic!! ha.
Hey you know if you have google reader your GFC follows are automatically included. Might save you some time.
I will be running on the 11th for Sherry as well.
I STILL have not been on Pinterest, although many of my friends are on and addicted to it.
These posts are fun, I have been tagged and have yet to do mine.
I'll be running for Sherry too!
Pizza, I love pizza!
I like this kind of posts.
