Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup. Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!) They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!
This week, the theme is Five Things About Me:
1. I never had a pet growing up. But now I have 4 cats. (I used to have 5.)
Jerry – my favorite
2. My favorite foods are pizza and ice cream. I have no self-control when it comes to these foods. (In other words, I stop eating them when there is no more left.)
Soft Serve Ice Cream (esp. coffee) with sprinkles
3. I was a French major in college, spent my junior year in the south of France and used to be a French teacher for many years. I still love everything French. I have seen Les Miz at least 12 times. (My dream to run a race in France.)
especially desserts (and art, movies, etc.)
4. My birthday is the same day as Billy Joel’s. I have seen him in concert many times. We are also both from Long Island. (He actually was part of a band that sand at my friend’s sweet 16 party.)
5. My clothes (almost) always match. Neurotic. I used to say about tennis: “If I don’t play good, at least I’ll look good.” Beauty before fitness?
too much purple?
Happy Running! Tell me 5 things about you!

Great list! Someone once asked me if I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, and I said Pizza, and I really think I could, LOL

I would love to run a race in France as well. I am also matchy matchy when I put together my clothes (gym or work).

We always had animals growing up; currently I have 2 dogs & 1 cat. I like my clothes to match, but I’m ok if they don’t. Very cool about Billy Joel! We saw him once, waaaay back in college & before we were married. I’m not sure I could pick a favorite foid, but if I had to it would probably be chocolate. 😉

Love the purple outfit – I’m totally into purple lately. And that’s awesome about French! I know a little French, have been to Paris several times, but would love to travel to more locations in the country. We’ve had French au pairs living with us for a year and a half so we’ve gotten to know even more about the French culture.
