48 Questions of Use(less) Info About Moi

 So apparently EVERYONE is doing this on their blog, and I am not usually a bandwagon jumper, usually I have a toe on the general bandwagon and most of my body on a completely different wagon than everyone else.

Hopefully this explains a bit or a lot about me, you choose ;o)

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
i was supposed to be named Holly but when I finally made my appearance into this world, I was a Kelly.  Still unclear as to how one goes from a Holly to looking like a Kelly...weird.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Yesterday.  I woke up from a nap with my wee little one and my shoulders were literally "stuck" and it hurt so intensely to move them, or try to, in order to get out of bed.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Yes I do!  I am a south paw and typically we have messy handwriting but mine is quite neat and fun, I like it.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LUNCH MEAT?
Hmm, prolly Dijon Turkey Breast.  I used to be a huge lover of the big 'ol Deli Sandwiches (the New York kind with pickles and cheese and yummy condiments) but since my GI diagnosis...lunch meat just isn't the same on a rice cracker.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Yes, I do.  Three lovely little boys.  My first born, Caleb would be 9 years old but sadly passed away when he was just under a month old. My heart aches for him everyday, I miss him with each breath I take.  My second born, Tayten (means beautiful happiness) is 8 years old and is my T1D son. He is an avid hockey and lacrosse player with a gorgeous smile and kind heart. My wee little one, Callum is 3 years old and a little minime. Small and fast. he'll be the ultra runner for sure!

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON< WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I think yes!  I am a very loyal friend who is always there, for an ear, for a hug, to be honest to you, to pick your kids up because you're stuck in traffic but I am also good for a few good laughs with my sarcastic/smartta** humour and I am very "glass half full"- meaning I can always see the lining to the dark cloud and help you see it too.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
WHO me?  Nah...not at all... <insert> sarcastic smile.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Sure do!

9.WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Aahh, nope.  Not a chance.  Fact you should know, I have an intense fear of heights and only get on planes telling myself that we aren't on a plane and close my eyes for take off and landing.  Bungee jumping would not happen, I wouldn't even want to go there mentally as my stomach would come up through my throat and be standing on the ground with arms crossed waiting for me.

10. DO YOUR SHOES UNITE WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Yes, I like to have them together.  I am very linear when it comes to things like this.

11. FAVOURITE CEREAL?
well since the GI business about 2 years ago I don't eat cereal at all.  What I do eat and count as cereal is Steel Cut Oats and that would be everyday for breakfast.  I make a huge pot of them on Sundays and then I have breakie all week!  Throw on some berries and banana's and there you have it!  Before I had to cut G foods out, I was a good 'ol Cheerios girl.

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Physically, yes...I could kick some butt if needed and I have endurance so I think that makes me strong.  Emotionally, some may say yes, because I've survived a fair amount in my life so far and I have come out pretty good.  But I do cry when things get too much and I have a soft spot for my boys, they melt my heart, I can't help it.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ICE CREAM?
I have 2, \Baskin Robbins PB and Chocolate and Coconut flavoured from Edaleen's Dairy in Lynden, WA.  Hands down. 

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Their eyes and whether or not they make eye contact.  I don't trust people who cannot make ye contact and your eyes always hold so much more behind them.

15. RED OR PINK
Depends what you are referring to.  But mostly I would favour pink, only classy shades of it though and small snippets of it too.  I always have something small on that is Pink, it's my estrogen reminder in a house full of boys.

16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
Hmmm, I am always too hard on myself.  I need to ease up on my self expectations. Oh and I have a phobia of spiders, like an insane phobia- thank gosh they don't fly!

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
My son, Caleb.  I wish he was here to be in the mix with my other 2 boys.  I frequently stand back and watch them playing and wonder what he'd be saying or doing right then.  I wonder how he'd look as he would have grown, more like Tayte or Callum or a good mix of both? <insert> Tears....

18. WHAT TECHNIQUE DO YOU NEED TO WORK ON THE MOST?
Knowing when to bite my tongue. I have a lot of holes in it already but i sometimes just say what's going on in my head and that can be disastrous.

19. WHAT COLOUR OF SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Umm, none, barefeets! I hate shoes, and would rather be in barefeet or some Sanuk's in the winter and flip flops the rest of the year when footwear is essential.

20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
Seeing as I haven't had breakie yet, it would be last night and I had Popcorn with the kidlets.

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
My oldest son singing Will.Iam Scream and Shout, and my wee one shakin' his butt!

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON WHAT COLOUR WOULD YOU BE?
I think I'd be yellow...a little bit of sunshine all the time.

23. FAVOURITE SMELLS?
My boys when they are fresh outta the tub, coffee- YES COFFEE, and that random guy at the grocery store a few weeks ago-not sure on the cologne but darn it smelled good!

24. HOW IMPORTANT ARE YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS TO YOU?
I am passionate about my views but don't push them on anyone.  We can all have different views but ultimately we're on the same ship with the same captain.

25.MOUNTAIN HIDEAWAY OR BEACH HOUSE?
Beach House. Hands down.  It encourages my barefootness!

26. FAVOURITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
I grew up watching hockey with my Dad so I do enjoy hockey.  Since entering the world of cycling a few years ago I absolutely love watching cycling...

27. HAIR COLOUR?
Brown with golden/reddish lites.

28. EYE COLOUR?
Green, very green/blue some days and very green brown when I'm sad.

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
I used to but my allergies are a 365 feat that I don't seem to win at so I wear glasses most of the time.

30. FAVOURITE FOOD?
For all who know me...Peanut Butter all the way.  Spoon in jar.

31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Umm neither.  Scary movies just feed your subconscious with fear and happy endings are unrealistic.  Keep i t real and give me a REAL ending with some scary sh*t in there too.

32. LAST MOVIE WATCHED?
Well it was movie night with the boys last night so sadly I need to put Rio as my last movie watched, for the 80th time.

33. WHAT COLOUR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Blue, like a purple blue.  It's my pj tank top.

34.  SUMMER OR WINTER?
Summer for sure...sun, great running and cycling weather, picnics with the kids, playing at the park, just generally being able to be outside at any given time. 

35.  FAVOURITE DESSERT?
I don't really like sweets, being D and all...but if I was held down and had to eat something for dessert...prolly a red velvet woopie pie.

36. STRENGTH TRAINING OR CARDIO?
This is a question that I feel very strongly about.  You need both ladies!! I have done strength training since my early 20's and it's why I am strong today.  Cardio helps your cardiovscualr system but you might want to have some strength to your body while you're at it!

37. COMPUTER OR TELEVISION?
I am not really a TV watcher.  I will watch it the odd time, but really it's not oftern.  I'd have to favour the computer...there is so much at your fingertips!! How can one resist?

38. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING RIGHT NOW?
http://www.roomthebook.com/inside/ This one...it's weird but intriging, perplexing and leaves you wanting to turn the page for more.

39. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSEPAD?
What?  Does anyone use those anymore?

40. FAVOURITE SOUND?
The boys saying "Momma" or "Mommy"...sweetest sound of all....

41. FAVOURITE GENRE OF MUSIC?
Toughie...I like all sorts of music and it depends what I am doing when listening to it.  Running- I need a good beat to keep the tempo and pace, cycling- I like the same as running with a few slower tunes in there, and for driving or all other times- mainly alternative, indie, some 'ol skool Run DMC, Led Zeppelin. If you looked at my ipod I have a good mix of tunes on there...something for everyone, just no country-notta, never happening.

42. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
Depends what my landmark of home is.  I grew up just outside of Toronto, ON so going from that landmark-San Diego would be the farthest.  Living the last 16 years in the West Coast in the 'burbs of Vancouver, farthest from home would be Montreal.

43. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
I am good with numbers...like a human computer.  I think that developed from carb counting for so many years.  I can also draw...and quick sketches.  Like little characters with funny eyes and weird pants. 

44. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
Peterborough, ON, Canada. Otherwise known as P-DOT. Beautiful little city with a highly active community and healthy lifestyle. Hmm, why did I leave at the ripe age of 18 again?

45. WHERE ARE YOU LIVING NOW?
Pitt Meadows.  Suburbs of Vancouver.

46. WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR HOUSE?
It's the burbs, of course it's beige!  Just like every other house in the burbs!

47.  WHAT COLOUR IS YOUR CAR?
Navy Blue VW Golf Sportsline.

48. DO YOU LIKE ANSWERING $* QUESTIONS?
It wasn't painful.  It was actually kind of fun.  Poked at a part of my brain that had been sleeping.

So there you have it!  Me, from 48 views. 

Cheers
K
