Hey! Welcome to day two of my totally exciting blog!!! (Remember…truth is black…fake and exciting is in pink!)
A few weeks ago, I ‘attended’ a Gannett (my paper’s parent company) audio chat about Walking and Wellness. I mean ‘attend’ loosely. The audio stream was playing as I was working. Halfway through, they gave a secret phrase, and if you emailed that phrase to them, you’d get a free pedometer. Yeah. I know. Only geeks would do that.
My pedometer came today through inter-company mail, and it’s pretty cool. It’s a lot sturdier than the free one I got with the McDonald’s adult happy meal last year. And tonight I took Max for an 1803 step walk. The pedometer booklet recommends 10,000 steps per day. Geez. While on the walk, I heard somebody choking through their opened dining room window. I dropped the leash, dove through the window (I cannot be stopped by a flimsy screen) and performed the Heimlich maneuver on the 68 year old woman inside. She coughed up her chunk of angel food cake almost immediately. Check the papers tomorrow for the story.
I lifted this quiz from FoodieChickie’s blog, who took it from Dave’s blog. Dave has the same last name as my maiden name. Which is cool only to me.
1. First Name: Kimberly Cassandra
2. Were you named after anyone? Some actress. nope
3. Do you wish on stars? Not anymore No need…my life is too exciting as is!
4. Which finger is your favorite? Pinky. Middle.
5. When did you last cry? I was a little weepy on our anniversary. When I got my sixth piercing. Damn, it hurt!
6. Do you like your handwriting? Absolutely not! It’s a sick cross between cursive and print, and it’s all over the place. Computers have ruined me. I don’t write. Instead, I cut letters out from newspapers and magazines and write letters ransom-note style
8. Any bad habits? Nailbiting. Procrastinating. Kicking off my shoes anywhere in the house and leaving them there. Laying along the yellow line on major highways, just for a rush
9. What is your most embarrassing CD on the shelf? The hipsters may laugh at my collection, but I wouldn’t deny owning any of them. Not even the entire New Kids on the Block Collection. The Spoken Kama Sutra
10. If you were another person, would YOU be friends w/you? Yes, although I’d have to put a bit of effort into it. Kim doesn’t really like to make the first phone call or ask to go out. She’s shy like that. Of course! I’m exciting!!!
11. Are you a daredevil? Moreso as I get older. Absolutely. I wouldn’t have appeared on Fear Factor if I wasn’t.

25. Would you bungee jump? Maybe. Been there, done that. *yawn*
26. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Never. I’m bad with shoes. See #8. That question is way too boring for a blog as exciting as this!

58. Summer or Winter? Summer! Winter!
59. Hugs or Kisses? Sweet soft kisses…the kind where the gentleman gently holds my face in his hands before he moves closer. I prefer more exciting activities.

Aww thanks Kim and please shoo away your cold! You like garlic right? Eat more of it! and cold will go away I swear it works!
Hi, found your page from a comment on Foodiechickies page. Your pedometer story is a funny one. Congrats on saving the women choking on the cake. š
I bought a pedometer a few months back and was very disapointed to see how little I walk. When I lived in NY I was probably doing 10,000 steps a day easily. Now Im lucky to do 4000 a day on a work day.
If it’s not a problem – I’m gonna lift this quiz for “La Scene” and put my own answers. If it is, just holler and I will take it down. (Don’t worry – not copying your answers).
