Tag, I'm It!! (and I'm also VERY late) (sorry)

ok...i know you have all been checking your computers every 6 minutes to read my 5 interesting things about me...sorry to keep you all waiting! ha ha ha. here they are:

1. i have never been on an upside down roller coaster. no current plans to either...

2. i had the chicken pox twice (once in kindergarten and once in 2nd grade)

3. i have a crazy, but super useful knack for remembering number sequences, such as phone numbers, bank accounts, credit cards etc. seriously, i know all the info on my parents, family, exes, etc. i would make a fantastic criminal, if i were so inclined. (don't worry, i'm not)

4. i can't roll my tongue.

5. i get right and left mixed up. there's a name for this...and i can't ever remember what it is...but if you tell me to turn left, i'll turn right. i still have to hold up my left hand to find the "L"...the funny thing is, i also have a great sense of direction...as long as the words "right" and "left" don't come into play.

so. there it is! thanks hotthickchick for the link!

and i believe bri has already tagged our 5...(see post below)

Tag, we're it!

We've been tagged by our dear friend Hot Thick Chick! Here are the rules (which I also stole from her): Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs let them know they are TAGGED by leaving a comment on their blog.

5 REALLY INTERESTING things about me:

1. I've was once detained by the Turkish military police.

2. I love cheese so much that as I child, I used to sneak small sliced of the fancy cheeses in our fridge so that my parents wouldn't know. bad bad girl.

3. I can't do a cartwheel. I was the only girl in my 4th grade class who couldn't do one.

4. I really want a nice big dog. For now though, I've become the crazy cat lady. I'll tell you all about my cats if you give me the chance. And oh yeah, I firmly believe that they are the best cats ever... You all should be glad that I have resisted posting pictures of them on here!

5. I love a bargain (Meg will back me up - I'm super cheap). I also love J. Crew. So I check their website at least daily to catch the good deals. I rarely find them, but when I do... How embarassing.

These lovely people are it!

Healthy Pear (where did you go? we miss you!)

retraction

there is actually a picture online. i just didn't look hard enough.

(yes, that was soooo much easier than just taking a digital pic because i am soooo busy and can barely find enough time to write one non-thought-provoking post, let alone two non-thought-provoking posts with pictures...ha!)

and while we're on the topic of retractions, i'd like to retract my comment from a previous post when i said that i "usually don't like food in bar format."

this is wholly false. i like granola bars (a little too much), pria bars, luna bars, fiber one bars...and now muffin bars.

Cookie for breakfast? yes please!!

So, if you are like me and have just about the worlds WORST sweet tooth, these new Quaker Breakfast Cookies are awesome. No, I mean AWESOME!

I get the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip kind, which are new I think...and no, I don't eat them for breakfast...but I keep them around for when I'm in a cookie-monster mood. Which happens about every 3 hours. but don't worry, I don't eat one every three hours...well, most days i don't.

These are great because they're HUGE and really satisfying--they actually fill you up. And they're just sugary enough to make you feel like you ate something "bad", but not too sugary where it ignites the sugar monster within and makes you want to eat the whole house down.

One cookie has 180 cal, 6 g fat and 4 g fiber (3 POINTS!)...and a bunch of vitamins and such. I've also tried the apple cinnamon (kinda blah) and the oatmeal raisin (also good)...but the oatmeal choc. chip are my favorites! Anyway, these are a great "emergency" stash for all you cookie monsters like me.
