Maren Meet Maren

So… I have a blog friend named Maren. Yes, there are at least two Maren’s out there in the world. She writes a great blog called Running for Sweets. Go check it out!

Before we get to the good stuff…

Breakfast

It’s flapjack time!

Oh yes!

3 buttermilk pancakes slathered in butter and blackberry jam. A stack of jelly flap…. a flap stack of jelly… there’s jam in my stack

Anyways Maren started this really cool 30 day challenge and I thought it would be fun to do for the month of June.

Since it’s June 3rd I have a little catch up to do. Get your oats, or cereal, or coffee and hunker down for the first three days of the 30 day challenge.

Day 1: your relationship

I’m in a great relationship with Max. We met four and a half years ago in college. We met at the party of his roommate’s girlfriend who was my friend from childhood. Such a small world right?! I saw him and he was wearing a Who shirt. I waited and waited for him to talk to me but he didn’t so I finally broke all my rules and started a conversation with him! We went on our first date three or four days later and we’ve been happy through good times and bad times, long distance, and finals ever since.

Day 2: 10 years from now.

This is a hard one. In 10 years I hope to have a successful business with my dad (more on that coolness coming soon!). I hope to be happily married with a great little house and a dog.

Day 3: Just say no!

My views on drugs… just say no! I wont lie and say I’m completely ‘clean’. I’ve never done anything “hard” but I have done something illegal. But I haven’t done anything in years. I didn’t like it and I will never do it again. I regret it and wish it never happened.

My views on alcohol… I like having a yummy beer, glass of wine, or cocktail sometimes, especially when I’m out with friends. I have been known to go to a party and have a ‘good time’. But I don’t like people who drink too much, I don’t like to do it myself and I generally don’t stay friends with people who do. My general rule… when things get sloppy, I’m out!

Question…

Do you have possessive issues with your name?

I do. I think it’s because my name is so unique. I didn’t grow up hearing other Maren’s get called during role or on the playground. I had never even said “Hey Maren” to someone else until I was in high school. It’s always been strange meeting… others. But I think it’s super cool now!
