A daily excitement for me is getting packages in the mail. It could be filters for the Keurig ordered from Prime, and I would still get a rush from opening the envelope.
I affectionately call my sweet dog, Teddy, by many different names a day: Chulo, Ted, Ted-Dingus, Chalupa, Sito. Each of them suit a different aspect of his personality.
If I really want to treat myself, I go to Einstein’s Bros. for their Vanilla Hazelnut coffee in the morning.
Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite novel and movie (the Kiera Knightley version) pairs in literary & cinematic history.
Growing up in a family of seven, we would go out to China King as a treat for dinner; this is where my love for low-quality Chinese food was born.

What’s your favorite cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch mixed with Golden Grahams. Hands down the best combination.
What makes a good running partner? Someone who doesn’t mind being silent for a bit, on the days when you both just aren’t in the mood to talk but need companionship.
What’s your favorite post run beverage? Tart cherry juice mixed with lemon Propel.
Do you have any connections to Raleigh or North Carolina? Nope!
If it wasn’t for running, I’d probably be… finishing season one of Downton Abbey. Or, long-term, starting Physician Assistant school.
