Sunday Social: Vacation

It's that time of the week when things become hectic with the start of another work week, instead, let's take a few minutes to talk about vacations with Neely and Ashley with their link up for Sunday social.

Best trip you've ever been on

The best trip I hae ever been to was New Zealand.  It was amazing there.  It was relaxing and adventurous.  I went there not knowing anyone and left with great memories.

Best idea for a girls weekend trip

The beach, nice and relaxing with some local bars to go totally crazy :)

Best idea for a couples trip

A relaxing getaway with some adventure or sightseeing.  Zip-lining, the eiffel tower, Disney..should I continue>

Best vacation on the cheap

The beach, national parks.  It's great to pack a picnic, some drinks, a blanket and you have the whole day at your hands

Place you most want to visit

I want to visit Asia!  

Vacation/Travel necessities

Good Shoes and a good attitude.

I tried to keep this post as simple as possible as there are so many ideas floating through my head.  I just got back from vacation last week and it was a great time.  Me, family, and the beach; I could not ask for more.  I am also very simple and easy to please.

Sunday Social: TV Talk

It's sunday and that means it is time for Sunday Social with Neely and Ashley!  I enjoy this link up because it gives readers the opportunity to know to know the writer :)  This week is TV related and here we go...

This weeks questions:

Favorite TV show of the past:

I have a few of these, but if I had to choose only one it would be 7th Heaven.  I was a total WB girl growing up.  Other shows included Dawson's Creek, Everwood, Sister Sister, Full House, Saved By the Bell...Should I continue?

Favorite TV show currently:Oh this is a hard once because for the last year or so I really have not watched TV.  I do love the Biggest Loser, Nurse Jackie, and anything on the Food Network!

Which Reality Show would you NEVER do? Any of them?  

Which Reality Show would you LOVE to do? Iron Chef, Cupcake Wars, not that I am good or anything I think that would be fun! I would also LOVE to be on Biggest Loser to have the opportunity to train with Bob and Jill:) 

TV personality/character that you feel is most like you? I have never really looked at characters and compared them to myself.  Again, I also am not a T.V watcher so this is too difficult..SKIP  

TV character you'd want to date? Finn from Glee! I have just a slight crush on him :)

Sorry for my lack of pictures, I just got back from vacation and rushing this post!

Getting to know my blog

A few weeks ago, I saw that Neely posted these questions for her Sunday Social link up.   At that time, I didn't have time to answer them, but I really liked them.  I wanted to answer them and figured this is a great post to schedule while I am out of town :)  Here you guys go!

 How did you come up with your blog name?

I actually copied it from Amber over at T is for Teaching.  I loved her name and I wanted to incorporate the fact that I taught and run.  That is where R is for Running came into play :)

What is your favorite thing about blogging?

All the people I have met or associate with.  People are ever so helpful!  And it has documented each journey I have taken on.

What is one thing you have discovered because of blogging and now cant live without?

Hmm.. This is a hard one, I may have to get back to you on this one, but it may be a recipe or the networking of blogs.  I can't go without reading so many of your blogs!

Facebook or Twitter? and why?

Both, but for blogging..TWITTER  and I am new to twitter so you can find me at

@risforrunning

If one celeb read your blog who would you want it to be?

Any celeb. honestly!  I have a major crush on John Travolta since my favorite movie is grease, 

What is something you want people to know about your blog?

I do not sugar coat anything.  I tell it how it is.  These are my feelings and I love all the support and encouragement each one of you has given me!  There is no rhyme or reason to what I write sometimes and sometimes I go on a blog hiatus when life get's really busy.  This isn't how I make money, this is a hobby :)

And THANK YOU readers :)

Sunday Social: Let's go shopping!

It is Sunday and that means it is Sunday Social time with Neely and Ashley!

What is your favorite store to shop at?
Target..It pretty much has everything a girl can want

Publix.  yes, I love to food shop, I can spend hours in there looking at everything 

If you could afford anything and everything, which designer brand would you covet?
I actually find this question very hard.  I am not sure at all on this one.  I really like all brands and never wished I could have something over the top.  But maybe some Christian Louboutin's

Must have closet staple?
Cardigan, Call me a grandma!  But I need something to keep my warm when I go to movies or out to dinner

Favorite kind of shoes? (brand or type)
my TOMS!!!  I have about 7 pairs..black, brown, grey, silver, blue, red, green..should I continue?  I used to think they are hideous, but they are most comfortable.

I love a good sale so I couldn't even tell you!  I see "sale" and my eyes light up :)  There has been many an amazing deal.

Low by Flo, yes, him and I are on a first name basis

What is your favorite road-trip music?

Let's go back to my teenage years for this one..*Nsync, Backstreet boys, anything pop and fun

What song are you embarrassed to admit you love?

I am not embarrassed to admit anything really, that is what makes me; me:)

O.K, so maybe some one direction that I have learned from my students.
