What do we know about each other? Maybe not a lot. Here are five random things you didn’t know about me! What’s one thing I don’t know about you?
Here’s a fun game today. Since I have a lot to say but can’t put my thoughts into one short, sweet, Friday Five post, I decided to go completely off topic. Maybe you’ve been following me for a while and don’t know that much about me. Or maybe you’re new here and don’t know anything about me. Well, here are five random things you didn’t know about me until today!
Five Random Things You Didn’t Know About Me
1. Once upon a time, I lived in Vegas.
It wasn’t that awesome to be honest. But it was definitely quite the experience. One time we were woken up to concussion grenades in the neighboring apartment building. That was fun. And also terrifying.
2. My childhood dog lived to be 19.
I met my bestie when I was 5 years old. He was just a puppy and I was just a little kindergartener. Growing up together sealed our bond and when I went off to college, my dog came with me. He lived to be 19 years old.
3. I love chocolate.
Okay, maybe you did know that about me. But it’s a little crazy how much I love chocolate. Remember Magic Shell? They probably still make it. Anyways, I used to eat it on a spoon. Who needs ice cream?!
4. 6 miles was my real induction into running.
Up until I ran six miles, I was just doing it to stay fit and lose some weight. But once I ran six miles in 2011, it was all over from there! And I haven’t looked back since.
5. I love all fuzzy animals.
If I could live on a farm with horses, cats, dogs, bunnies, and hamsters, I would be a happy lady. But I don’t have a farm and having all those animals in a house is frowned upon. Or so I hear. Oh, and I’m allergic to cats. But fuzzy creatures make me happy and I wish I could snuggle them all until the end of time.
6. And one for good luck…
Next week is my last week hosting the Friday Five 2.0 with the ladies from Fairytales and Fitness. It’s been amazing and I loved every week of it, but it’s time for me to make way for a new host. Plus I’ve got some really fun stuff coming up this winter and in the spring which equals too much on my plate at once! (I’ll share more on that next week!)
Have an amazing weekend, my friends!

Let’s talk!
What’s one thing I don’t know about YOU?

This is a fun post to read and I love getting to know more about everyone! Sad next week is your last, but on to different things right?! Good luck
Thanks! Yes I have a lot on my plate coming up. All good things of course and I still plan on blogging. But someone else needs the responsibility of hosting. 🙂
I always use this one: I was a stripper. Now get your mind out of the gutter. 🙂 It’s the name of a job in the printing industry, and that’s what I went to college for (printing management). The woman I ran part of the 1812 race with? She also worked in printing. She was also a stripper. We had so much to chat about & I haven’t heard from her since the race. 🙁
Mr. Judy LOVED introducing me as a stripper. Yes, he has a twisted sense of humor. And it’s our anniversary today, which I’m celebrating by running 8 miles with one of my BRFs, of course. 🙂
I have sometimes thought I’d love to live on a farm, too. But only if I had someone to manage it cause that’s a whole lotta work!
What are the odds of that?! Running with someone with the same odd job title? 😂 What does a stripper do?
Let’s go buy a farm and hire some help. Then we can hang with the animals and do very little else all day.
Happy anniversary!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAwwwww….I love furry little critters, too! I’m extremely allergic to all things feline (and most canines, too). We’ve had a lot of hamsters through the years…and my daughter just surprised me with a guinea pig yesterday! Yes, we should be friends 😉
Omg haha! That’s awesome. I used to surprise my parents with kittens. They almost always made me get rid of them. It was so sad!
Wow! 19 years old. That is amazing. Our lab lived to 16 and we thought that was awesome! We will miss you! Thanks for hosting the link up with us!
I know! He was an old man. My bestie. I was heartbroken when I had to say goodbye.
I’m going to miss hosting, too. But I know you guys will find an amazing new cohost!! I’ll still link up but now there will be less pressure. 🙂
I can see how living in Vegas would not be so fun. It’s always fun to learn more about our blogger friends. Sad to see you go from the Friday Five!
Yeah it was a sketchy town… I think leaving the Friday Five will be okay because then I’ll have less pressure and can link up for other stuff. I feel too regimented.
I love learning more about you! Such a fun post. I’m sad to hear that you’ll be leaving this linkup too. You’ll be missed! I had hamsters and guinea pigs when I was a kid. I used to sneak dogs into the house and usually my mom would let me keep them.
Ha! Nice. I used to sneak kittens in. My parents were a hard NO on that. 🙂
I’m leaving the linkups because I feel a little too much pressure these days. I want blogging to be fun again. 🙂
I adore animals too and would be all kinds of happy if I could live on a farm with horses/cats/dogs/ducks/chickens/etc. *-*! Hope you have a great weekend as well!
You should have been a VET!!!
haha, that’s what I wanted to be before I switched over to humans! (I can’t put them to sleep. ;_; Too heartbreaking.)
Farming in my family tree, and I wouldn’t be any good at it. I can’t stand the smells! I do love furry animals, and everyone who reads my blog knows I have a cat. She left me a hairball yesterday, and I’ve asked her to no do that today. It’s not quite a fun surprise to come home to.
Kitty hairballs are the worst. Lol!!
Fun! I could never live in Vegas! Not a big fan.
Who’s the new host? Thanks for hosting this round!
Yeah Vegas was dicey… not my cup of tea!
Not sure who the new host is but I’m sure it will be someone amazing!
How old were you when you lived in Vegas?
19! My cats promised to live forever! I would feel so blessed if they made it to 19. 🙂
I was 24/25 when we were there. It was fun when people came to visit but a strange city to live in!
Such a fun post! That’s so awesome that your dog lived for so long!!
He was my bestie!! 💕🐶
That’s a very long time to have a pet! Our dog is a rescue but her mix is Lhasa Apso which I read can live 18 years. She is 8 now.
Aww! I hope she lives for a long time for you!
OMG, Magic Shell! I’ll miss your Friday Five posts — but I know there are only so many hours in a day. I’ve only ever lived in Virginia, and except for college, always had a mailing address of “Alexandria, Va”
Magic shell was amazing, right???
How funny that you’ve already lived in Virginia!
Oh my gosh, grenades in a neighboring apartment building? How scary! That would get me far away!
I love animals a lot too, they are so cool! 🙂 Sorry to see that you are leaving hosting the Friday Five. Good luck in your future adventures!
They were noise grenades to drive the people out of the apartment. It was terrifying coming from the Midwest though! 🤣
