Anyway, this morning I decided that I was feeling a bit of randomness coming on, so by default, that includes today’s blog post! Besides, I always enjoy others’ posts when they detail random facts about themselves: it kinda gives you a bit more insight into who they are outside of blog world, you know?!
Some randomness about me:
1. I’m actually kinda crafty. Now, I’m not all creative in the way that this gal is, but both of my grandmothers taught me some serious skills with the needle when I was a kid. As a result, I now am able to quilt, crochet, knit, cross stitch, and needlepoint. Weird, huh? Grams started teaching me to crochet when I was like 8 and I went on to participate in both crocheting and cross stitch in 4-H. Swear. Even better? I qualified for the state fair with my crocheting skills, and even made my parents, my best friend, and my ex-boyfriend quilts when I was in college.
How’s that for random?!
2. My favorite magazine in the whole world is Outside. I’ve been a subscriber for well over 10 years, and I still love it. They have the perfect combination of outdoors sports, environmental stuff, and serious awesome adrenaline-filled features. There is a story this month about the 2012 Everest season since it was the 3rd deadliest in the peak’s history. That stuff fascinates me!
Side note: I’m actually kind of a magazine whore. In addition to Outside, I subscribe to Runner’s World, Backpacker, Cycling, and Skiing. I like to read!

| That’s her! |
Know what else made this fun fact even more delightful? I got my magazine in the mail yesterday, and settled into bed last night to read it. Let me tell you how bizarre it was to flip to page 44 and see Neon Blonde Runner on the top of the page! She was one of the first blogs I ever read, so I kinda feel like I “know” her. I have famous internet friends! 🙂
3. I came home to a surprise bouquet of flowers yesterday! Totally made my day even though it took me all evening to figure out who they were from!
4. I literally have one of the most exciting adventures of my life being planned as we speak. How’s that for a cliff hanger? I can’t give y’all the details just yet, but rest assured — I am beyond ecstatic about what is being planned and I can’t wait to share it with you. If all goes smoothly, I will be looking at an epic journey filled with adrenaline, adventure, endurance, and the outdoors!
