1) Best thing about today? I have a new work schedule so I get Fridays off! I bought new shoes that I did not need, but saw on sale and loved. I'm normally not such a shopper.

4) What are you looking forward to in October? Running the Portland marathon next weekend!

I'm not big on healthy food. Apples?8) Favorite unhealthy food? All of it. Pizza, cookies, cupcakes, take-out, fast food. I really should weigh about 600 pounds.

outlandartist · October 2011

1) Best thing about today? It's Friday (when I started writing this) and after a busy week, the first day not leaving the house.

5) Favorite baby name you can't use? And why can't you use it? Alexis. (for a girl) It's always been my favorite name, but also happens to be a family name (DH's Russian Grandfather's name). DH doesn't like it because his brother is named Alexander and goes by Alex and we have a nephew also named Alexander but goes by AJ. So there are too many Alexes and it sounds too similar to Alexis even though I would nickname her Lexi rather than Alex. And DH thought it was weird to name a girl after a male family member even though Alexis is primarily a girl's name in this country.

6) When you were a kid or teenager, what did you plan on naming your children? Isabella and Elizabeth. Neither of which I would use now because of Twilight and the latter is my MIL's name and I don't want to play favorites with the grandmas.
