Random Friday, Courtesy of Zan
Thank God, the Universe, and Whoever Else that it’s Friday!!!
I’m a bit crampy and a lot headachey, and I’m officially taking a day off from serious, topical posts. I still feel like writing something though, so I’m shamelessly borrowing Zandria’s Random Friday idea. Enjoy!
- My husband and I are getting together with friends tonight and cooking Mexican food. I’m in charge of bringing beer, guacamole, and fish tacos. True story: I thought that “fish taco” was a euphemism for female anatomy until I was in my late 20s. I blame the Navy.
- We’re going to see Wanted, the new Angie Jo/James McAvoy flick tomorrow. It sounds like it’s right up my alley. In my opinion, a good movie contains (1) multiple car chases; (2) physics-defying special effects; and (3) at least one explosion. I like my movies loud and improbable. My least favorite movies are (1) chick flicks; (2) anything with Meg Ryan and/or Nicholas Cage–they both inexplicably annoy the bejesus out of me; and (3) sad and/or “heartwarming” movies (I cry at the drop of a hat as it is–I don’t need any additional provocation. This heart is warm enough, thankyouverymuch).
- I love love LOVE my personal trainer, Donald. He’s not intimidating. He pushes me without being mean. He understands that running always has and always will come first to me and designs my workouts accordingly. I got so lucky when the gym assigned him to me!
- I was a smoker through my late teens and early twenties. (I was in the Navy and everyone smoked. I figured that I might as well smoke because at least I’d have a filter in my mouth. The logic of a 19-year old.) I still smoke 3-4 cigarettes per week–psychological need more than physical at this point, but NO MORE. I am casting off the chains of oppression and going totally smoke-free. Viva clean lungs!
- It’s 9:49am as I write this, and I am STARVING. Is it too early for lunch?
What random tidbits are on your mind today?
Hi Jen!
Random thoughts today…hmm…
SO glad it’s Friday! This just means I’m one day closer to meeting my brand new baby niece, Magdalena! Can’t wait to hold her and cuddle her. PLUS this means my Mom is in town and lately we’ve really been connecting so this makes me very happy!
Also, I finished my first item on my 101 Things list and I’m excited to get moving with more! I hope to pick a few items to get moving with over the next few days…
Oh, I’m soooo excited about my brand new comforter! The old one was shot and pretty much reduced to a thin, thin sheet instead of a thick warm comforter (which my new one is!) I cranked up the air conditioner last night and snuggled under my new covers! Viva la comforter!!!
Have a good one,
Anna
I love Mexican food, we are playing cards with other couples this Saturday and lots of kids stuff!
that fish taco comment is hysterical! I always think the same thing when I’n in Vegas (not that I’m there SO often) and at the Hard Rock Hotel, the restaurant is called Pink Taco. And I see, like, FAMILIES eating there and buying souvenir tees. Wrong. Like eating at Hooters. WRONG.
Seriously the whole fish taco thing - nope. Didn’t even know those existed until I got to San Diego (and yes, it was a dirty navy thing). In south TX - we eat a LOT of tacos but none of which are fishy. haha
You’ll have to let me know how the wanted movie is…it looks good. Personally I’ve got Wall-E on my list for tonight (yep, computers/robots…I’m a geek! Sad thing is I’m more excited about it than the kids…)
Enjoy your weekend!!!

Wall-E all the way.
I’m going to get on some skates and fall on my arse.
That’s my randomness for the week. I plan on redesigning my header for the blog.
Yay! I like being copied. Makes me feel like I’m doing something right.
I’m jealous of you having a personal trainer! I want my own personal cheerleader/motivator, too!
