BYOC - Because I Don't Have Any Brain Power Left!

BYOC - Bring Your Own Crazy!


It’s Friday which also means it’s BYOC – Bring Your Own Crazy – day around these parts.
Five little questions you can copy and paste and answer in your own blog to get to know your fellow bloggers better and to give your blog brain a break!


1. What’s your most favorite noise and your least favorite noise?

Favorite: I do love rain....but nothing makes my day brighter than a baby's laugh/giggle. I have a video of my nephew at about 7 months old just belly laughing and it lifts my spirits every.single.time I hear it.

Least favorite: My desk phone at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon. It never leads to anything good and almost always ruins my weekend.

2. If you were a character in the movie Grease – who would you be?

Well, my reason for choosing a character revolves stricktly around which songs they sing, not their personalities, so I would be Rizzo because I love the song "There Are Worse Things I Could Do". However, personality wise, I would be Sandy.

3. What was the name of your best friend in elementary school? Are you still friends?



I had lots of friends but not a best friend. It changed on a yearly basis....



4. Who is your current celebrity crush?

Oh my Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love....ugh. I still dream about the dirty dancing scene. If you haven't seen it go! You'll thank me!


5. Repeat question: How was your week in real life and in blog land?
 
Things are crazy. I am having some difficulties and am afraid that I am about to enter probably the most difficult part of my weight loss journey. I passed my 18 mo surgery anniversary on the 12th but just couldn't get myself to blog about it. I hope to get my thoughts together soon and share so that I can start making some progress.  Self-reflection sucks!

Just a Couple of Housekeeping Items

First off....this is for you Read!

And second of all, I gave a few scarf tying lessons while in Chicago so I thought I would post this handy dandy link so we can all wear our new scarfs from our goody bags in style!

THANK YOU!

I have many people who deserve some appreciation for making this weekend so awesome, so I am going to rely on bullets.

Thank you....
- to the wonderful planners. It isn't often that this girl can go on any kind of trip and not have to worry about planning, logistics, and organizing. I know enough about this group to know that OCD runs deep, and in some cases far surpasses mine. :) This led to an incredibly smooth, well run weekend! And the fact that you do this without payment, just with the desire to lift up this incredible group of women is the cherry on the top. I definitely felt the love....and a few ports too! Bonus!

- to Fluffy! My incredible roommate, who also happens to have some priority access when comes to flying, which made flying almost enjoyable. You rock and are such an inspiration to me. I can't wait to see what trouble we can get into next. :)

- to Jessica, for being crazy and impulsive enough to commit to running the Disney princess 1/2 with Fluffy and me. And we have the socks to prove it!


- to all the BOOBS....I have never felt so connected to a room of strangers before. I felt like I was with family. Thank you for making me feel welcome, appreciated....and at times, like a rock star!

I have so much more to write but the mimosa I had before take off is starting to kick in so I will say good bye for now!
