She still creeps me out.

Watched a little bit of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs with my nieces and nephews.  Yes, the life-sized barbie still creeps me out big time.

Brooke had a giggle attack.

One of the real reasons that I went over to my sister’s house yesterday was to have one of these for a snack.  By far my favorite oatmeal packets (she got them at Target).  They have a very simple ingredient list in case you are wondering:)

Like usual I didn’t get out of workout clothes (after I run I shower and then I change into a clean pair of workout clothes…  They are just so comfortable) until 7 pm and then Brooke did her job of picking out what I should wear.   You think I’m kidding but she does a pretty good job.  Fashionista.

My favorite Cafe Rio tacos for dinner.

Followed by a store that was created just for me.  It specializes in ice cream, soda and candy.

Our final selections that took me close to 20 minutes to decide upon.

And a picture of the ice cream that I also had from the above store (even though the picture is so bad and you can’t even tell that it is ice cream) while watching SHERLOCK on a projector.  If you have Netflix you need to go watch Sherlock right now (even if you are at work/school/should be doing important things) because it is so good.  I am instantly hooked.

Are you a slow, medium or fast eater?

-Fast.  With 3 older brothers I had to protect my plate of food by eating it really quickly when I was growing up.

Last place that you went out to eat at?

Is your closet organized or kind of messy?

I’m a medium eater but my husband is SO fast, he finishes before I’m even 1/4 done every time.

Last place I went to eat was a burger place I love near my house!

Reply

My husband has trained me to be a quicker eater. He finishes so quickly that he starts eyeing mine up. So I’ve learnt to be quicker… and give him more food!

I agree. Life sized barbies are just so creepy. My mom sews and makes American Girl clothing as a hobby and she has probably 20-30 dollars at their house. They scare the pants off of me. Can you imagine sleeping in a room with 20 dollars?

I would like to think my closet is always neat but I just organized it yesterday…tomorrow it will probably be a disaster again.

I thought I was a fast water until I got married.

We went to Olice Garden for my SIL birthday. I liked the salad, but everything else was not so good. We never go there because my family doesn’t like spaghetti.

My clothes are organized, but my shoes are in a messy pile most of the time.

Reply

I’m a fast eater! The last place I ate was Frozen Yogurt Creations! And the Olive Garden before that :-)
My closet has to be organized. Shirts are by color and they are organized by sleeve length! Not sure why but it’s something I have always done.

Reply

I eat so fast except then I never enjoy my food as much because it’s gone before I can even blink. I blame it on my family of fast eaters. I wish we had a candy place like that around here! The last restaurant I ate at was a place with the best milkshakes in the world. Cookie dough marshmallow twist=heaven.

Reply

Cookie dough marshmallow twist?? Oh.my.God. I feel like I need to try that…seriously.

Reply

My closet is organized chaos. I need help. I have a problem getting rid of things.
I eat medium-fast. I want to eat slow- but as a kid growing up with 4 other siblings- if you didn’t get on it, there may not be more coming!

My last dinner out was on VACATION! I don’t eat out often. However, if there were cheap and delicious tacos within a couple of miles of my house it would be a massive problem :)

Reply

Life sized barbies are bad, but I think it’s even worse when it’s just the big Barbie head. I’m a fast eater-not sure why, but once the food is ready conversation ceases until I’ve had my fill. But, I’m a slow dessert eater because I like to enjoy every bite:)

Reply

I’m a fast eater…with three sisters in the house (us girls can eat) I had to hurry if I wanted to get a second helping.
Last place I ate out at was Wawa (does that count???!!!)
My closet? A complete mess and no plans to venture in there and change it at this time…maybe when we have another snow day (if Netflix doesn’t win over cleaning).

I just organized my closet over the weekend! It was a gigantic mess. While I was cleaning it I found my favorite sports bra that had been lost for over a year :)

Reply

I love finding missing clothes!! Its as good as finding cash in a coat pocket you didn’t know was there!

Reply

YES, absolutely! Now I just need to find a missing sock that is lost from my favorite pair <– probably not going to happen though. Where do all the socks go?!?!

Reply

I love candy stores-even though I’m not a big candy eater, they are just so fun!

I eat fast. I’m trying to slow down, but for some reason I eat like a starving person (I’m not). Work in progress.

I’m a bit ashamed to admit, but this weekend I ate at Taco Bell. It was delish. Fine dining at its best!

And the closet- so/so. Its fairly organized, but could be better. Wow, what a boring answer….

Have a great day :-)

I am a slow eater and always have been.

The last place I went out to eat was Chipotle for lunch yesterday. Great mid-week decision!

My closet is extremely organized! I can’t have it any other way. I just need it to be bigger!

I’d love for Brooke to help choose my clothes for the day! My closet is most definitely organized, but item and then colour!

Really fast eater.

Sherlock is so great. I love that show. :)

I just started watching Sherlock last week, and I was instantly obsessed with it!

My family tells me I am slower than slow when we eat. I call myself an efficient eater.
Fiance is on Weight Watchers so we dont get out to eat much. Plus she cooks better than most of our restaurants.
I would go crazy if my closet was messy. DID YOU CALL ME A NEAT FREAK?? lol

Those life size barbies are super creepy! Also, I’m a pretty fast eater, although i’m trying to slow down a bit lately!

Reply

I am a naturally fast eater so I have to constantly remind myself to slow down and chew my food! I think it goes back to the fear of my food is going to get cold/warm or something. And I will have to check out Sherlock on Netflix! Nothing like a good Netflix binge to cure these winter blues!

Reply

Fast eater! Even when I eat giant serving-bowl-sized salads, I can down them before anyone else has finished eating! Don’t you love finding new series to watch! I am obsessed with “New Girl” right now!

I’d say I am a medium / fast eater… last place I ate out I can’t think of to be honest! And my closet is organized. Today. Tomorrow who knows!

Reply

I’m a fast eater – two older brothers and now two toddlers who don’t give me much time to enjoy and savor a meal! And my closet is a mess. Going to try to tackle it today. Pray for my safe return! :)

Reply

I’m a pretty fast eater when I’m home alone (I eat more slowly when eating out with friends because of talking) but I wish I wasn’t! All the sudden I’m super full and realized I probably shouldn’t have been scarfing down my food!

Reply

I’m a fast eater. We don’t technically get a lunch break at work, so we eat in between doing our job duties. You learn that if you want to eat your food hot, then you need to eat fast.
Last place I went out to eat was Umi’s. A sushi place that I love.

Reply

Right now my closet is super organized. We will see how long it stays that way! I can’t remember the last time we went out… probably means it needs to happen this weekend :-)

Reply

That food from Cafe Rio looks delicious! My closet should be tidy, but at the moment it’s a mess! Ugh!

Reply

Medium eater! Last place I went to eat was a restaurant that specializes in cheese. It was sooooo good!

Reply

Um life sized barbie would be sleeing in another room, too creepy of eyes. I’m a slow eater! A simple salad that should take me 15, can take me an hour sometime. Last place I went to go eat….aw geez I can’t even remember! My closet is organized, but also messy haha it’s the best of both worlds :D

I’m a super fast eater, always the first to finish something I try to work on often but it’s hard when you like food so much!

I am a pretty slow eater- my boyfriend eats SO FAST! He’s done with his food by the time I’ve taken like 3 bites!

Reply

I used to be a slow eater, until I had my son! I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I went out to eat- it’s been so long! Date night tomorrow though, so that’ll change soon! My closet is pretty well organized…but my dresser is a completely different story! It’s actually my organizing project for the day. It’s bad news.

Reply

I am a SLOW eater. Slow, slow, slow. My closest isn’t the most organized, but I ended up getting rid of 52 items last week, so it sure feels much better!

Reply

I’m a slow eater. Always have been. I’m still eating even after all the food has been put away and the kitchen is cleaned up (awesome husband!).

Last place we ate was a sushi restaurant in the Asian district near our house. So good, and our 2 1/2 year old almost ate more raw fish than we did! She loved it! So fun taking her out for new food experiences!

My closet is very organized, but I work on it every week. There are bags and bags that go to Good Will. For real, if I don’t wear it within 2 weeks it goes. I pick 3 to 5 items and hang them right in front of the closet for 2 weeks and if I’m don’t drawn to them during that time they go. Makes it sound like I have a lot of clothes, or shop all the time, but I don’t. I’m a yoga pants/pj’s/sweats person with a handful of nicer items when I need to look presentable.

Reply

Life size Barbie is indeed incredibly creepy. I inhale my food, so I’ve developed some idiosyncratic eating habits to slow me down, like at home I eat with children’s sized utensils. It’s also great for portion control.

Reply

I used to be such a slow eater growing up, mainly cause I would just blab on and on to my parents.
Ever since the army and going to various training/schools, I have become a fast eater, it’s horrible!
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is so adorable.

I am a quick eater – I remember growing up my mom always used to yell at me and tell me to slow down! :) I try to slow down but even then I eat pretty quickly!

I’m one of the slowest eaters EVER, but any drink in front of me will disappear in 0.02 seconds. Now I want tacos! ;)

I love that you eat ice cream/fro yo everyday. It makes me feel better when I do it :-).

I had a salad from chic fila last night. It was actually very good!

Messy closet right now, but organizing this weekend.

I normally eat fast, however with the broken hand I am now eating quite slow. It is actually a great diet strategy if you ask me.
The last restaurant, if you can call it a restaurant, that I ate from was Taco Bell.
I would say that my closet is fairly organized.

I LOVE SHERLOCK!

We just saw series three, and it was AMAZING. Have you seen the last one of season 2 yet???

The last place we ate out at was a coffee shop. I had a cheese scone and it was delicious. I too am a fast eater, thanks to needing to protect my food from other, even faster, eaters!

My room is very clean, and it’s only because my closet is a dump. Everything is shoved in there, and as long as the door’s closed, no one knows what a pig sty it is ;)

Reply

The last place I ate out at was a local Italian restaurant called The Spaghetti Stain. We were there for a friend’s birthday so just ate a ton of appetizers. Meatball sliders are the best!
My closet is an utter disaster. Someday I’m going to get it clean and organized. Probably when I retire.

I eat slow. My husband and I went to Subway the other day and he ate a foot long sub and had to wait for several minutes for me to be done my 6 inch. I think I eat a little slow, but he eats way too fast!

I’ve been eyeing that Rachael Ray oatmeal! Glad to hear it’s a good one.

I’m definitely a fast eater – like, so fast I should probably work on it. LOL. It runs in my family – it’s just what we do!

Last place we went to eat: Wendy’s? I think? We rarely go out to eat!

Aaaand our closet is kind of an in between of messy and organized. It’s not crazy messy, but it’s certainly not the most organized closet you’ve ever seen.

Love Sherlock! and yep, i have 3 older brothers so if you didn’t eat fast you didn’t eat!

I eat way too fast!

I’m now a fast eater — but I guess that’s what happens when you have 2 kids under 2… I eat as quick as I can, when I get a chance..

Any possibility you could post on running in the cold & breathing? It’s in the single digits here right now and after a mere 2 miles outside yesterday my lungs burned. And I’m still coughing. Any tips/tricks? I tried a turtleneck over my mouth, but that didn’t let me breathe enough ;)

That barbie is creepy and that store looks amazing! Candy, soda, ice cream…what more could you need?!?!

I am a fast eater. My older brother helped with that too. I really need to try to eat slower so I don’t inhale so much food and become miserable later.

The last place I went to eat was a fun restaurant last weekend for restaurant week. It is called Urban Table and they do local farm to table type food.

My closet is a disaster. No matter how hard I try to keep it organized, my shoes just seem to take over in an odd mess on the floor.

My closet is a disaster and full of clothes that I never wear. I have intended for months (ok maybe years) to go through it and donate what I’m not wearing but I just cannot find the motivation to do it. I’d rather be running :)

That Barbie is scary. If I woke up at night and saw it, I would freak the freak out!

I’m a fast eater and the last place that I went out to eat was Pops Grill on the water in Nokomis, Florida. It was fantastic. You sit outside at a round tiled table with glass rocks and fire in the middle and it’s community seating so you get to know all the people around you. Very cool place.

My closet is meticulous, it’s organized by season, style and color. I have issues….

My closet is a little messy, but let it be known that MY side is organized (well, at least relatively).

I’m probably a fast eater but I really should slow down and enjoy my food more!

Last place I ate out was over the weekend had some yummy tacos at our favorite neighborhood taqueria. I cook Monday thru Friday so on the weekends I can enjoy going out!

My side of the closet is pretty organized, I keep everything in color order. I’m pretty OCD that way. My husbands side is a different story. I don’t know how he finds anything.

Depends on how hungry I am…super fast if I’m super hungry, I can’t help it! I’m jealous about your ice cream, I need some asap! Also, as creepy as they are, I always wanted a life-size Barbie when I was younger haha

What’s in between medium and fast? Cause that’s where I am :) Last night we had a girls dinner at a new local Italian restaurant called Italian Stallion (I can’t write/type/say that without a smirk)!

I’m a pretty slow eater. It’s probably one of the reasons why I have such a hard time getting all the food in my system that I need to eat! I went to dinner with my mom last night and it literally took me three hours to eat because I was so busy talking instead. I ended up having to bring a lot of my meal home (which I’m now eating for lunch). We don’t have many restaurants in our town, so we went to eat at this pale called Oxford’s which I think I actually commented about on your site last week! Lol

I used to be a fast eater but I’ve made myself become slow so I can enjoy food more! I like to take a drink in between most bites. Last place I ate at was a new cafe in town.. Applewood! I got a grilled cheese with pesto and tomato – delish! And also a slice of caramel apple nut pie <3

I am normally a really fast eater. BUT My husband is such a slow eater that I got sick of staring at him eating his food for 20 minutes after I finished… so I’ve trained myself to be a slower eater over the past few years.

I would say that I am a medium eater most of the time. However, I tend to wolf things down quickly if I am really hungry ha. The last place that I went out to eat was Tucanos! It was so good, but I couldn’t eat much because my big prego belly got full so quickly haha. My closest is semi-organized, but it is so small that it is hard to keep it that way.

Lol I used to be an incredibly slow eater. Then I started dating my boyfriend. His family is incredibly fast, so I learned that if I wanted more than a slice of pizza, I needed to pick up the pace ;)

Just FYI- the newest season of Sherlock is available to watch on PBS.com too so once you finish the ones on Netflix, check those out! I love that show too. :)

The only downside to getting into Sherlock, is how few episodes there are! Such a great show!
