Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fun weekend.
I've seen this A-Z survey floating around, and I thought I'd give it a whirl this morning. Play along at the end of the post!
A-Z of Me!
A - Age: Didn't we just talk about this on my birthday? Mid-30's. I still can't type it... sorry.
B - Biggest Fear: Snakes. A true phobia and also something we don't talk about... (This isn't going well so far...)
C - Current Time: I've got this one! 12:52 PM
D - Drink Your Had Last: Water. Lame I know, but I drink tons of it.
E - Easiest Person to Talk To: The HUBS! Except for during tax season...
F - Favorite Song: Ever? Somewhere Over the Rainbow... the Hawaii version played at our wedding. I hear those first notes and I instantly smile and am carried off to a warm beach.
Dreams do come true 🙂
G - Grossest Memory: Dog puke. Lot's of dog puke in my life.
H - Hometown: Orlando, Florida! I'll always have a special place in my heart for Florida, but I consider Asheville, NC my true home now.
I - In Love With: Of course I'm in love with the Hubs, my family and the Rhett-ster! My other true love is travel. I love to see and explore new places.
J - Jealous Of: Really fast runners! I know speed is all relative, I've improved a lot, and I try my personal hardest... but I'd love to just throw down a super fast mile someday. I am working against being not naturally athletic at all.
K - Kindest Person I Know: I would have always said my Mom, but since she is not with us anymore, I'll say my Mother-in-Law. She is absolutely amazing. She treats me like her own daughter.
L - Longest Relationship: The Hubs! Going on 7 years 🙂
M - Middle Name: Lynn
N - Number of Siblings: I have one brother, Tommy...
... but I gained two sisters when I married the Hubs! I'm so blessed! Love these guys.
O - One Wish: For my friend Melanie to kick leukemia's butt.
P - Person You Spoke To On The Phone Last: My Dad 🙂 I used to talk to my Mom everyday, so now I try to talk to Pops every few days.
Q - Question You're Always Asked: a- Why did you leave WLOS? b- Will you come back? c- What are you doing now?
Answers: a- Read THIS, b- Not planning on it, but never say never, c- Hello! Running in a Skirt!
R - Reason to Smile: The Rhett-sterrrrrr..... He's practicing Savasana here. He's also a pro at downward dog.
S - Last Song Your Sang: I sing every time Kenny comes on the radio!
Oh how I love this one... "I'm what I am. I'm what I'm not. I'm sure happy with what I've got. I lived to love, laugh a lot and that's all I need!" <---That is how I want to live my life.
T - Time Your Woke Up: 7:20. I wake up between 7-7:30 these days... that's when the Hubs gets up to go to work. It's a far cry from my former 2 AM wake up call. I don't miss that at all!
U - Undiscovered Talent: I was totally meant to be a country music star. I've got the boots, I love big hair and I can work a stage. Too bad I can't sing!
V - Vacation Dreams: You guys know how much I love to travel! Although I don't have a trip planned right now, my biggest travel dreams are: Australia, France (countryside and riviera,) Seattle, Maine, African Safari.... and GO BACK to Hawaii. I could go on and on and on.
W - Worst Habit: Stressing about stuff that doesn't matter and worrying about what other people think of me. I feel like I'll be working on that one for the rest of my life.
X - Rays You've Had: Oh wow! I'm kind of accident prone, so a lot! Off the top of my head, broken arm and the many times I thought my ankle was broke but wasn't!
Y - Your Favorite Food: All things Mexican.
Z - Zodiac Sign: Leo!
Thanks for stopping by today! Tomorrow I have a yummy apple dessert for you!
And of course, have a Marvelous Monday! Thanks for the linkup Katie. I'm also linking this up with Elaine for Old School Blogging.
Your turn!
Answer any of the questions above! I want to learn more about YOU!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
I love reading these surveys! Travel is one of my loves as well. And I'm jealous of you - I've never been to Hawaii!!
JulieWunder says
Oh.... Hawaii is like one big beachy, mountainy fairy tale 🙂 I adore it. I would pick up and move today if I could 🙂
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
The picture of you and your husband after "L" is SO great! Seriously, I hope you have that one blown up and framed somewhere in your house.
Also, how is your friend Melanie doing? I'm praying that her treatments have been working!
JulieWunder says
Thanks! We do have it in a frame 🙂 Mel is doing as good as can be expected. They even gave her a pass to drive home this past weekend. Keep praying! They are all working!
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
I am totally loving these A to Z surveys and after reading yours and Jaime's, I may have to do one myself! 🙂
JulieWunder says
Just do it 🙂
Annette @ Sweating Through Life says
How fun! I think my dream vacation right now would be touring Italy and Greece. Maybe someday....
JulieWunder says
Italy was amazing! Make it happen. I can't believe I didn't put Greece on that list-- it's totally at the top too!
Farrah says
I adore the Hawai'i version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow too (+ totally with you on wanting to go back to Hawai'i)! <3
I love that picture of your dog, hahaha. :D!
JulieWunder says
Thanks! He's a HAM!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
What a fun post! I love learning more about the bloggers I follow!
And I finally stopped getting carded in my 40s. So sad...
JulieWunder says
That is sad. I get so excited when I get carded 🙂 Sometimes I wonder if they do it for a better tip... haha....
Debbie@debbiethisandthat.blogspot.com says
Mid 30's is a great age! I'm over 50 and it just keeps getting better! Loved the A-Z survey!!
JulieWunder says
Good to know! Thanks Debbie!
Gingi says
What a fun Q&A!! I had fun reading some of your answers... can't believe your MIL makes kindest people.. can we trade MIL?? lol! - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
JulieWunder says
I am very blessed and I know it!!! She checks on me everyday through text and sends me all sorts of surprises 🙂
mandikorn says
I didn't know you were from Orlando, I was born and raised there myself. Don't miss it and will never go back. Like you, NC is the best place to be and will be our forever home.
JulieWunder says
I was! Grew up there and then went to UF... moved to Macon for my first job and then here! I'm not going any further north though!
Gretchen says
I just turned 25, which I feel is a really good age! It seems like when most people lie about their age, they always say 25 or 26, so I think I need to live it up the next two years. I also wish I was faster, but like you said it's all relative. To some people I'm really speedy, and to others I'm super slow. I guess it's good being in the middle!
JulieWunder says
That's a great way to think of it! I'm certainly worlds faster than when I started!
Heather @Fit n Cookies says
I want to visit Australia and Seattle. I'm hoping to go to Seattle next year if Aaron still has to go for work. Hawaii is up there too haha These surveys are always fun to read about others!
JulieWunder says
I always enjoy it. I hope you get to go to Hawaii. If we go to Seattle-- we'll share tips!
Kelly says
This is one of my favorite quizzes, Did it on my blog last month! I like "Undiscovered talent" for U vs "Underwear color" which is what I'd seen before. And "Vacation Dreams" for V is fun too! I think an African safari would be amazing! And I've always wanted to see Machu Picchu.
JulieWunder says
Thanks 🙂 I was like... no one really want to know about my underwear... and if they do want to know.. I don't want them to know. Did you follow that? haha
JulieWunder says
Oh and Machu Picchu is short list FOR SURE!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
Fun post! austrailia is on my list for sure too. Grossest memory something relating to diapers and throw up from kids at the same time 🙂
JulieWunder says
Oh yuck....... 🙂
Elaine A. says
I love to travel too so it's hard for me to pick a vacation place because there are so many places I would like to go! 🙂
So glad you linked up with Old School Blogging, great to "meet" you!
JulieWunder says
So nice to "meet" you too!
Michelle says
That was definitely fun! I would have trouble with something like that, so great job with it and thanks for sharing!
JulieWunder says
Thanks! I had to leave some and come back later!
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I like posts like this. Its nice to know a little more about the blogger you read. Cute pic of you two. Hawaii is one of my dream places to visit as well. Some day:)
JulieWunder says
It's amazing. I've done a fair amount of traveling and at the end of the day, Hawaii is ALWAYS my favorite.
Jaime says
I love these random posts so much 🙂
JulieWunder says
Me too 🙂
Jamie says
Love it ! I dream to go on an African Safari some day... my boyfriends parents are on one now and their pictures I've seen and INCREDIBLE! Life goals...
JulieWunder says
Total life goal! Take notes for us, k?
heather says
I am definitely going to do this survey. I am 44 and don't feel a day over 21. Last person I talked to was my mom. Hate spiders, I can totally handle snakes. I always worry about what other people think of me too. I have no hidden talents. Thanks for sharing

JulieWunder says
Age is just a state of mind!
Janine Huldie says
Our dog puked once last year and it was actually worse than anything the kids ever puked up. So get that one completely!
JulieWunder says
Haha! Goood to know. When I had two dogs, seemed like I was always picking up the puke... yuck!
Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate says
I had the Hawaiian version of that song played at our wedding too- it makes me happy whenever I hear it 🙂
JulieWunder says
Awwwww!!!!!!! It's such a pretty song!!!!
Annmarie says
Fun survey!!! I'm not sure I could have filled them all out, haha! 😛
JulieWunder says
I had to come back to some of them too.
Dan Steadman says
awesome!!! One question I am always asked when out with the family or the boys (someone will point to Jonathan, 6 and Caleb, 4) Are those two twins? Um, no.
JulieWunder says
Haha! It's funny what people ask!
Jess @hellotofit says
7 years - that's awesome!! And snakes are gross. Spiders and roller coasters are my big fears.
JulieWunder says
Aww Roller Coasters??? Good to know. I LOVED them when I was younger, I don't mind them now.
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
This was great! And you know that I could look at pics of Rhett all day long, too. Pets are amazing. I love that so many people still ask you about going back to TV! You have some dedicated fans, miss thang!
JulieWunder says
He is a handsome fellow. There are some really amazing people who were very loyal. I am very grateful.
Danielle @ Little Mama Big Life says
Love posts like this! I am the same when it comes to worst habits. Total worrier about everything here!
JulieWunder says
I always try to "plan" to stop it too! Total type A- haha!
Blane Sherer says
I would think that all of your bloggers enjoy learning more about you.
This was nice. The last person I talked to on the phone was my daughter
Celeste. Before that it was my daughter Amber and my grandson Julian.
We had a great time at the fair on Sunday ( smile ).
JulieWunder says
So glad you had fun!
Tina muir says
This is cute! Loved learning more about you, the more I see, the more I think we would get on, although I am looking forward to not traveling in the next few months...but still have a lot of it going on haha. Love that photo of you guys surfing, I miss it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
JulieWunder says
Totally! It's a shame we can't all live close! We were totally thinking alike today!
Jenny says
So fun! I love reading these kinds of posts! I'll own the Age one, I love being 37. BAM. I even get carded fairly often and I LOVE that. 😉 Work it, Julie! So many amazing moments add up to where you are today and, if you're like me, you're just now getting warmed up...own your age, lady! 40 is SO the new 20.
JulieWunder says
Getting carded makes me so happy! 36 really isn't thatttttt bad 🙂
