Fact: Bears eat Beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

What a fun fact up there huh? I bet you really wanted to know that too. Or you're thinking "wtf is that about?" Well, if you're as big of a fan of The Office as I am, then you'd know that's where it came from (the American version, although the British version is outstanding also). It has relevance I promise, I didn't just throw a random quote in there. Although that could be fun...

I'm going to give a rundown of facts about myself, because apparently I'm that self absorbed or think that all of you care to know this information. I'll do my best to make these some "not-so-average facts." Honestly though, I just really wanted to talk about something other than shoulder presses at the gym or how much I hate cooked carrots. *Side note: I'm gonna put my foot down and say that cooked carrots might be one of the worst cooked vegetables ever invented. Challenge me.

FACT:
1. I hate snakes. They make me physically ill.

2. My favorite food is lasagna. I love it. More than Garfield.

3. I like to consider ice cream my Achilles's heal - no matter what hellthy mindset I'm in, offer me ice cream and I'll fold like a napkin.

4. For a very long time I thought that the Ethan Allen furniture store was named Ethe and Allen.

5. Also when I was younger I thought that the people working the drive-thru at McDonald's were actually inside the menu "box." I was always shocked at how they fit in there. Not a bright child.

6. I've never seen Dances with Wolves. (although...who has really?)

7. My favorite dessert is yellow cake with chocolate icing. Unless there's ice cream...then I'm forced to eat both.

8. At one time in my life I owned the single for TLC's "No Scrubs." Hey...it won a Grammy.

9. I was my grade school and area Knights of Columbus' spelling bee champion. Biggest trophy I've ever won.

10. For a grade school talent show, I performed a lip synced version of Ace of Base's "I Saw the Sign" with a fully equipped air band.

11. When I was in college, my drunk food of choice was often sugar free pudding cups.

12. I'm not a "middle piece of square pizza" kind of girl. I prefer the edges. Same goes for brownies. Or any food cut into rectangular shapes.

13. I make the world's best french fries. FACT.

14. I want to perfect the art of sugar cookie baking.

15. My favorite character on The Office is Stanley.

16. I have no desire to run a half marathon, full marathon, or anything with the word marathon in it.

17. I enjoy a good cardigan.

18. My confirmation name is Cecilia. Patron Saint of musicians and poets.

19. My favorite alcoholic drink is a gin and tonic. Just one of the many traits I inherited from my mother.

20. My least favorite meal growing up was round steak. *cue vomiting sounds into a trash can*

Now, wasn't that fun?! I'm sure it was. Soon I'll be trying to get some recipes up here and be on the lookout for a future post about some "best practices" when it comes to eating well.

BTW, I bought a dress a few months ago that I recently wore to a reception, and I had planned on wearing it to one this weekend also. Until I had this conversation with Aaron (I may have paraphrased a bit for brevity):

Aaron: "What dress are you wearing this weekend."
Cassie: "I was planning on wearing the one I just wore last weekend, why?"
Aaron: "I think you should wear a different dress."
Cassie: "Well then I'll have to buy one. What's wrong with the other one, does it look bad?"
Aaron: "No...I just think you're too skinny for it now, you should get something better."

God love him. :)
