ABC Survey

Published: Jun 26, 2013 · Modified: Jan 12, 2015 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

For my first post I've decided do this survey that I have seen on numerous blogs lately. Just some fun Qs that will help you get to know some random stuff about me!

A. Attached or Single? Single and happy about it.

B. Best Friend? Eh...not a best friend.

C. Cake or pie? Mmmm, how about a crust-less allergy-free pumpkin pie 🙂

D. Day of choice? I think I like Tuesdays....they always seem to be the most stress-less day.

E. Essential Item? I must always have a book to read. I could never go a day with out being involved in a book! Right now I am reading Black Irish by: Stephan Talty. It is a pretty decent crime thriller.

15796980

F. Favorite color? Orange and Yellow! I love bright sunny colors. My bedroom is yellow, as I have tried to make my one window room as bright as possible. I love natural light and absolutely hate artificial!

G. Gummy bears or worms? Bears, definitely! When I was younger I used to freeze them as a cold chewy treat!

H. Home state? Oooooo, the wonderful New Jersey 😛

I. Favorite Indulgence? I don't believe in "indulgence", but I love my Saturday night yoga sessions. I feel like they conclude my week and recharge my mind and body. (This is my favorite practice!)

J. January or July? There is no contest there! JULY! I hate, I mean absolutely HATE the winter and the cold! Plus January is one of those long nothing special months that just drags on. July is beautiful, bright and warm!

K. Kids? Nooo! I really don't like little kids. You will never find me baby-sitting.

L. Life isn’t complete without? Happiness, love, sunshine and warmth.

M. Marriage date? Nope.

N. Number of brothers/sisters? One older brother whose in college.

O. Oranges or Apples? Apples! Specifically a Red Delicious with Barney Butter's Crunchy Almond Butter. So Good!

P. Phobias? Well not really a phobia but I hate bugs and pandas have always freaked me out a bit (I know what your thinking..."that's weird"). And I also can't stand it and cringe when ever someone coughs. I have to leave the room, I just can't deal.

Q. Quotes? 

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” -Maya Angelou

"The further you go...the harder it is to return. The world has many edges and it's easy to fall off." - Anderson Cooper

“Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.”   -John Burroughs

 “Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.”   -Toni Morrison

R. Reasons to smile? The ability to move and be active, the deep unconditional love of my family, fresh air, nourishment, safety and a house over my head.

S. Season of choice? Just read my answer for "J" and I am sure you can figure it out, haha!

T. Tag 5 People. Not on my first post...

U. Unknown fact about me? I am in the National Latin Honor Society.

310545_2091696222570_363291457_n

V. Vegetable? Snap Peas! They are so delicious, I can't get enough. But something that I find really strange is I have always hated mushrooms. The one veggie I can't stand. But a few weeks ago I bought some button mushrooms for a dish I was making for dinner. Well the next day I decided to just eat one plain and....o man....IT WAS SO GOOD! I have been obsessed ever since.

W. Worst habit? I am in the process of overcoming...18 days and going strong!

X. X-ray or Ultrasound? Yes and yes. Not so many X-rays though. Ultra sounds were for all my digestive issues.

Y. Your favorite food? That's an impossible question. But some of my most favorite eats are apples with almond butter, microwaved sweet potato with gallons of cinnamon and hemp seeds, cereal with almond milk, and homemade chickpea/veggie burgers (my own adaptation of this recipe).

Z. Zodiac sign? Gemini.....I never really get the whole Zodiac thing...
