Good morning!
I’m posting this a little later than usual because I was running around like a chicken all afternoon and evening yesterday. After getting back from a music trip with the chorus, I went out to support my school’s track team at their sectional meet. From there I headed to a scholarship dinner, where— guess who!— Bill Cosby was the keynote speaker!
More details on the dinner some other time. But that guy is one heck of a comedian. Man, I miss The Cosby Show.
Anyway, today is Thursday, which is usually when I love to think out loud with Amanda, but I’m gonna mix things up today with a Spill It Sunday survey thanks to Arman and this week’s question-asker, Jen @ Chase the Red Grape.
PS— I know it’s not Sunday (I’m not THAT out of my mind…yet), but Arman didn’t oppress us with strict rules for when we post our Spill It Sunday answers. He just oppresses me by posting endless pictures of fantastic gelato that I CAN’T HAVE.
1) I am coming to visit! Where would you take me and what would we do?
If you’ve gotten to know my mom through my blog, you would know that she is the QUEEN of hosting visitors, so I’ve learned from the best.
I would take you to NYC (unless you would rather go hiking…?), where we would go wherever the heck you want (Statue of Liberty, Top of the Rock, Central Park, SoHo, Chinatown, Grand Central, etc.), but then I would be in charge of places to eat. Not that my family has any experience with that or anything. The Halal Food Cart, Rice to Riches, Pure Thai Cookhouse, Eataly. We’ve got you covered.
2) What is the one thing you never leave the supermarket without buying?
3)When I say burpees, you say…
–4) What is the first website you check in the day?
On most days, it’s Gmail. If I’m feeling like I might be popular, I check Facebook or WordPress.
5) Tell me about one act of kindness you have done recently?
Yesterday, I was walking to my car from school, and I came across two of my guy friends from chorus, walking home in their collared shirts, ties and dress pants (since we had just come back from a performance). I gave them a ride instead of letting them make the trek home on such a warm day. I could have been all fitness-y and told them they were getting good exercise, but they might have beat me up for being so obnoxious.
Kinda kidding.
6) You have a carton of eggs, what would you make with them?
7) Tell me about a sight you have seen that took your breath away?
The picture of the muffin above. Seriously.
But if I wanted to be more profound, I would have to say the views at the summit of a hike or the waterfalls in Puerto Rico are the best.
circa 2010
8) You’re an elephant, what would you never forget?
Right now, it would be great if I didn’t forget the whole AP Bio curriculum. But in the long run, I don’t want to forget all the conversations I’ve had with my family and friends that have made me laugh until I’ve cried.
9) Reveal to me a ‘slang’ word or term that you use where you are from, and what it means!
I’m not that hip with slang (I just learned what “clutch” means a couple days ago), but I say “guatever” a lot. That’s not a southern NY thing, it’s just a me-and-my-friend-Charli thing. It means whatever, life goes on, we’re alright. Hashtag it. #guatever
10) Tell me a corny joke!
I think I’ve told this joke on here before, but I’ll say it again since it’s the ultimate corny joke:
What did the baby corn say to the mama corn?
Where’s Pop corn?!
Did you laugh? Pretend that you did if you didn’t.
Have a great day, everyone!
So tell me:
What do you always buy at the supermarket?
When I say burpees, you say____.
What sight have you seen that has taken your breath away?
Daily Moves and Grooves 
Whoa bill Cosby is the man!!! So cool! And with jokes like that your could be his side kick…kinda😉
I always get bananas, Greek yogurt, and veggies from the super market!
You say burpees I say uh oh!😳
Last sight that blew me away was either when I open a quest bar and it was litterally 95 percent chunks🙌🙌🙌😯 or when I was in Aruba and seeing the sunset from the beach!
Happy Thursday girl💕
I WISH I could be his sidekick! But I would ruin his rep for sure.
Ooo I could go for a beach sunset right now. I just need summer.
Happy Thursday to you too, Katie!
You are never going to believe this: I was working on my Spill It Sunday last night..and I’ve got bananas too!! Oof. I’d be one happy human to get out dining with you; call it a good judge of foodies..I am confident you know your resturants like the back of your hand. Not that you were implying that on your blog of course 😉 .
I’m actually not surprised— bananas are such a staple, especially for us nut butter lovers 😉
Well someone is being greedy with that many eggs…then again, you are the brainy one thinking that far in advance.
Those muffins took my breath away too…I purposely make my muffins less sweet, less butter PURELY to top it like a boss. Like you did…although boss you are not. You better discuss this Bill Cosby shindig- I loved Kids say the darnest things growing up!
Exactly! The muffin is really just there to make the nut butter shine.
I’m not a boss?? Hush, go clean your waffle iron.
Bill Cosby! Why does your life get more & more awesome with each blog post? I did the 100 burpee challenge a few weeks ago… my back was sore for 4 days afterwards. Lets just say I won’t be doing that again anytime soon. 😉
Have a great weekend, bud! 🙂
I think the same thing about your life when I read your blog— how do the mountain views get prettier every. single. day.?!
Oof those floppy burpee motions. That’s how I would feel after a long run.
Hope you have a great weekend, Jo!
I love burpees, and bananas! 😀 And regarding that joke, I tickled myself a bit to smile. Just kidding! Great update!
Bananas fo lyyyfe. Seriously. When they go on sale 10 cents a pound I go crazy haha! That is crazy you saw Bill Cosby. Like what?!?!
Amen— I just got two bunches of bananas today…not for 10 cents a lb though!
You like burpees!!!??? Strange person… only joking:-) I wish I loved them, would make my life a lot easier!
A day with you in NYC sounds like great fun – as long as we got to meet your Mamma too! And then maybe headed back to your house with a carton of eggs to make your egg plan! 🙂
(Loved the joke too btw!)
I love burpees! But I don’t like running, which is also strange to a lot of people.
I am with you there – really don’t like running! I do it when I have to but would never choose it as a workout of choice!
So jealous you got to hear Bill Cosby in the flesh! His jokes never ever fail to crack me up 😀
Also, I’m the same with bananas. Sometimes, I have to hide a few to let them ripen for banana bread/muffins – otherwise my other family members eat them before I get a chance to bake anything out of them!
Haha! Story of my life— ripened bananas are precious.
I would have flipped out if I saw Bill Cosby. That man is hilarious! 😀
I am with you with the burpees. I love em! I don’t get how people hate them. o.o
I guess it takes time to love ’em! I remember I sorta despised burpees when I first tried them.
