The ABCs of me

I always enjoy when my fellow bloggers share details about themselves as people! Today I am drawing inspiration from HoHo's awesome ABCs post. I've got my 100 Things About Me page with lots of random tidbits about myself, so I will try not to duplicate anything here.

Accents fascinate me! A friend of mine had an instructional manual on how to speak with different accents, and I am thinking about trying to get my own copy.

Breadman and Bread are the nicknames of my favorite Chicago Blackhawks player, Artemi Panarin. Now I chuckle to myself when I see a Panera Bread restaurant or when someone offers me bread during a meal, etc.

Cinque Terre, Italy, is one of my favorite travel destinations.

Dental floss is something I've started carrying around in my purse. It has already saved my life more times than I can count.

Evonne is my middle name.

Fun is my ideal way of life. I try to have fun all day, every day.

Germaphobe I am not. Since I rarely get sick, I don't worry much about germs.

Helicopters are a mode of transportation I've never experienced. I always take notice of all the Chicago Helicopter Experiences available on Groupon, but have yet to pull the trigger.

Independence is a huge priority to me. I am uncomfortable having to rely on others and I take great pride in being self-sufficient.

JCPenney is where I worked in high school and during my first few years of college.

Knocking on wood is something I do often, since I have experienced the jinx phenomena hundreds of times.

Laughter is the best medicine for me. In tough situations, it's helpful to be able to still find humor.

Mustard, especially dijon mustard, is my favorite cooking ingredient for its incredible versatility. Any time I get low on mustard, it sets off emergency alarm bells in my kitchen!

New York is a city I seriously considered moving to through a prior employer.

Overthinking is something I do easily, especially when I've got too much time on my hands. I'm usually in a better frame of mind when I'm busy (but not too busy).

Psychology is the subject I most enjoyed studying in school, and probably the only subject I would genuinely study on my own accord.

Quads are muscles that are perpetually tight for me, no matter how much I foam roll or stretch.

Reubans are one of my favorite types of sandwich. Sadly, I don't eat them much since they generally aren't very healthy. =(

Saucony Rides are currently my workhorse running shoe.

Three is my favorite number. I think it has the perfect rhythm.

United Airlines is the holder of all of my miles accumulated from years of business travel earlier in my career.

Visual is my style of learning. I'm all about pictures, charts, and color codes as tools.

Wednesday was the day of the week I was born. Yes, I was born on a Hummmmp Day! =)

X is an algebraic expression that I will use in everyday conversation when talking about unknowns. Ironically, algebra was one of my least-favorite subjects in school. I much preferred geometry (being a visual learner, and all).

Yes is something I say often, maybe too often.

Zumba is a fitness breakthrough for me! It's enthralling to get such a great workout while letting loose and tearing it up on the dance floor.

What are some of your ABC's?
