30 Things About Wendy

  1. My second favorite color is Blue.
  2. I own all the Friday the 13th movies. I like Jason over Freddy ;-)
  3. I sneeze and cough at the same time. I wish I didn't.
  4. I'm addicted to chapstick. Spend an hour with me and that will be obvious.
  5. I injured myself installing a window fan. My friend likes to say I got into a bar fight.
  6. I can eat Wasabi peas like candy but trying to cut back.
  7. I have a hard time turning down free stuff, especially if it involves something sweet like cake.
  8. Yes I am a Doctor Who fan - I own a Tom Baker scarf, Tardis USB hub, Tardis cookie jar, a K9 action figure, poster of the first episode I watched and a sonic screwdriver (which does work :P).
  9. I love going to art museums. Best moment ever was standing in front of a DaVinci at the Smithsonium.
  10. Sharks fascinate me. Favorite quote is "Live every week like its Shark Week." I went all the way to Atlanta simply to see a whale shark in person. It was awesome. I want to go again.
  11. I've never painted my toe nails green...but I have painted them blue which they are right now.
  12. I love doing movie marathons. Most recent marathons were Rocky and Star Wars.
  13. I collect squashed pennies. It's my favorite souvenir. I'm willing to stand in line with children to get one.
  14. My favorite beer is a hefeweizen. I like the one brewed by Widmer.
  15. One of my regrets is not riding on Space Mountain. I got scared and wouldn't go on it. I think I was 7 years old. It still haunts me to this day.
  16. In college Economics fascinated me. I wish I had changed majors to that instead of Media Studies.
  17. One of my favorite times of year is March when I get to have a Shamrock Shake. ;)
  18. I can not sleep in socks even if I am cold. Wearing socks to bed drives me crazy. I will kick them off.
  19. I don't like the scars on my right hand (from #5) They show more when I am cold.
  20. Amazingly I've never broken a bone in my body, but I am clumsy and have fallen down numerous times and do bruise easily.
  21. One of my favorite flowers is lilacs. I love the smell of them.
  22. Many know I like zombie movies, but I do like martial arts movies too. Fist of Legend is one of my favorites.
  23. I collect shells. Whenever I stopped at the beach I grab a few. My favorite are the oyster shells from Damariscotta River, Maine and Maryland. I base my selections on color and smoothness etc, not perfection. I also collect rocks from where I've gone hiking.
  24. I do not like clowns...Its not that I am afraid of them....I just don't like them. And will not stand near them. Or pose in pictures with them. Yes I admit it, they are creepy.
  25. My eyes are green with some blue around the edges. I have to wear contacts but sometimes I will wear my glasses. I look super nerdy in them.
  26. I would like to get my own Boston Terrier puppy. And name him Gizmo...
  27. I've never been anywhere tropical. What is warm ocean water?? I would like to go to Hawaii.
  28. I love a bargain and getting deals with using coupons. Target is one of my happy places.
  29. I am 5'3" while my twin sister is 5'4"...weird eh?
  30. I talk in my sleep and have been known to move stuff around.Uusally telling me to go back to sleep works and I will listen.

Jerry and Doris

When I think of Love I think of my grandparents. To this day my grandmother still lights up talking about the love of her life.

Made Me Smile

"To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage."

- Lao Tzo


Success

"To laugh often and much

to win the respect of intelligent people

and the affection of children;

to earn the appreciation of honest critics

and endure the betrayal of false friends;

to appreciate beauty;

to find the best in others;

to leave the world a bit better,

whether by a healthy child,

a garden patch

or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.



~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have I ever mentioned I am not a fan of the Wendy's font? I just don't like it.
Random Fact: Only once has a worker at Wendy's made a comment after seeing my debit card that I share the same name with the fast food chain Wendy's...random I know...

Dunkin Donuts has new donuts currently...dangerous...must try them all...probably a good thing I rarely go inside a Dunkin Donuts to see what they actually have. They had a picture of this donut outside so I couldn't resist when I went through the drive thru.

THE SPLENDIFEROUS ARRAY OF CULINARY TOOLS

I like this poster. Perfect for the kitchen.
Here is a thorough mapping of over 100 tools used in the preparation of delicious food. Printed with real copper ink, the same substance you might find in a fine piece of cookware.

Becky's

I finally got to eat at Becky's on Commercial Street in Portland. 
I would recommend this place for a great breakfast.


My plate, we all got the wharf platter.
my plate...Wendy vs Food....food won
but I was close...I amazed myself.


 Charlotte's plate..look at that pancake! 


 Charlie's plate, he got a side of hash too.
