Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a great, safe weekend! Asheville has been on the edge of that devastating flooding all weekend. I'm very grateful we haven't had any problems at my house and I'm safe and dry. My heart goes out to anyone impacted by it today.
I'm kicking off this new week and new month with a little life update, currently style!
Currently I'm...
Reading...
Astronaut's Wives Club! <---amazon link After I was so disappointed that the mini-series ended, I decided to go to the source and read the book. I really enjoyed it. I've always been fascinated with the space program, and this book is filled with behind the scenes tidbits.
With all the rain this past week, I've done lots of reading!
Listening...
Big surprise, but I kind of love Blake Shelton's new song, Gonna. I'm still a little distraught about him and Miranda divorcing though. 🙁 I thought they were the real deal.
Watching...
Nashville is back! Thank goodness Deacon survived.
Wearing...
Rain boots exclusively. Sure wish it would stop raining. I've been protesting jeans and boots so far. It's coming... I know.
Anticipating...
Type A Blog Conference this weekend! I'm going with my friends Jaime and Susanna and I could not be more excited! There is going to be a Disney and 80's themed party. You know I love a theme!
Eating...
Crock Pot Vegetarian Taco Soup. This stuff is da bomb. Recipe coming up on Thursday.
Drinking...
This amazing pumpkin spiced tea from Trader Joes. I'm kind of obsessed. Don't get between me and my tea. It could get ugly.
Indulging...
Pumpkin pancakes! The hubs has switched up our pancake routine for fall! He's now making weekend Pumpkin Pancakes and they are amazing! I posted his simple Pumpkin Pancake recipe last year HERE.
Praying...
Of course my friend Melanie is still on this list. She's had some ups and downs and really appreciates all the prayers, so keep them coming! She has been able to come home for some weekends, which has been absolutely wonderful.
Dreaming...
Of a time when the Gators win football games again... Oh wait! That's actually happening! 🙂 I love that my college team is finally making a comeback! I had a great time watching the game this weekend.
I hope your week is off to a great start! Tomorrow showcasing a new pistachio idea!
And of course, have a Marvelous Monday! Thanks for the linkup Katie.
Your turn!
What are you currently doing…?
Leslie @ flora foodie says
Your rain boot cuffs are so cute!!! omg, need those. Plus hooray for all the pumpkin things 🙂
JulieWunder says
Thanks Leslie! They are a lot of fun!
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
Wow, that book looks really interesting! I'm glad you're okay with the flooding!
JulieWunder says
It is! I think you'd like it!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
I've been living in my rain boots this week too. I brought them to Ragnar with me and thank goodness I did. But seeing your sock liners makes me realize I need a pair of those!
JulieWunder says
Love the liners! They make them cozy!
Rachel @ RachelMcMichael says
I've been wanting to read Astronaut Wives Club!! I caught a few episodes of the show and really enjoyed it! I need to try that tea, too! Love me some Trader Joe's!
JulieWunder says
It was a great book. I definitely recommend it.
Mary Beth Jackson says
yes the Gators are making a comeback! I am SO excited!! Pumpkin spice tea, I need to try that! I found some pumpkin spiced almonds in the store and they are yummy! Stay dry, the sun has to come out soon!
JulieWunder says
I'm a little behind in commenting back.. but I'm so sad about the Gators this morning!! 🙁
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
So I assume you aren't getting the big rains that we keep hearing about on the news? I was in Charleston last year and I'm so sad to see all that flooding! Stay dry!
JulieWunder says
Charleston got it bad! It rained all weekend here, but not enough to flood. Thank God!
Runaway Bridal Planner says
Have fun at the 80's theme blog conference, that is awesome! I've always wanted to attend one of those, themed or not:)
I've heard that book is awesome too, but I haven't read it (yet):)
I've seen about all the flooding on the news, that is terrible. I hope your home stays safe, and I hope it dries out a bit for you all back there!!!
JulieWunder says
Thanks! I'm a little behind in commenting back-- but we are nice and dry! The conference was a blast!
Heather @Fit n Cookies says
I wore jeans with boots this weekend but it wasn't my favorite because I am trying to hold off as long as possible, hahaha. I know I'll be missing the flip flops come winter! But, when nothing really fits me and I'm not buying more clothes, it had to happen 😉 I love those Hunter boots. I have been contemplating them. Glad you are staying safe! I saw you were free of rain today so that's great! Hope no one was injured!
JulieWunder says
I miss flip flops already!!!
Blane Sherer says
Glad we didn't get flooding levels kind of rain like the folks are
dealing with in South Carolina. Love your shot with your rain boots.
JulieWunder says
Me too! So scary!
heather says
I am currently loving coconut mocha coffee, it's so good. Reading Furiously Happy, it is difficult for me to read because I have the absolute worst ADHD. I am taking baby steps. I do not think I have ever read an entire book in my life. Have a great day

JulieWunder says
Coconut mocha!? Well that sounds amazing!!! Good luck with the book
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
Oh my gosh I had no idea Nashville was back!! Now I know what I am watching tonight!!
JulieWunder says
It's the best!
Pragati // Simple Medicine says
I love that tea, too! It's the best. I just wish Florida would cool down a bit so that drinking hot things would be more enjoyable 🙂
JulieWunder says
Haha! It's in the 30's this morning! I miss that HOT Florida feeling this time of year!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
Fun post! So I am into Scandal and that new show Quantico. I loved my hunter boots when I got them but honestly don't think they are so comfy. Do you?
JulieWunder says
I got into Quantico too! Both the hubs and I really like it! My Hunters are about as comfy as plastic rain boots get... I guess??? They feel heavy on me and my regular boots are more comfortable. I'd probably not wear them if I was walking super far... but they work for what I do in them.
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I am a huge fan of Nashville as well. Those pumpkin pancakes sound delicious.
JulieWunder says
Nashville is the best! I have a episode on my DVR now!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
I was so sad about Blake and Miranda too! It feels like such a betrayal when 'seemingly happy' couples get divorced. Brad and Jenn all over again!
I wore rain boots all.weekend.long. No good.
Can't wait for that recipe!
JulieWunder says
I KNOW!!! Really made me feel deceived! I though they were the real deal! Just shows you what social media/ good marketing can do!
Mandi Korn says
Thought about you every time I saw the radar and Asheville looked bad, we are ok over here, we were somehow in the middle of all the rain and just got lots of wind. I love going into Trader Joes in the fall season and being overwhelmed by all the pumpkin stuff. We haven't tried the tea, but definitely eat the pumpkin pancakes all the time. Have a great week:o)
JulieWunder says
Yum! Pumpkin pancakes! I think that might be breakfast today!
Jess @hellotofit says
the flooding is making me so sad! Glad you are okay. And I need that tea from Trader Joes!
JulieWunder says
Yes you do!
Lauren Gaskill | Making Life Sweet says
Thankful that your house is safe and dry! I also LOVE that tea from Trader Joe's. SO GOOD!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Lauren! I am grateful too! Hope you are having a great weekend.
Jessie says
I too an completely saddened by Blake & Miranda's divorce. I feel like they belong together... kinda like Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey 🙁
JulieWunder says
Totally!!!
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition says
My heart goes out to those dealing with the flooding.
Currently I'm studying and having some lemon water (not the most fun way to start the week, I know).
I loved the Astronaut’s Wives Club too! I was thinking about getting the book - maybe I'll order that today to read during study breaks. That pumpkin tea sounds fabulous! Once October hits I cannot have too much pumpkin anything - plus roobios is my favorite kind of tea so adding pumpkin will make it perfect for this month!
JulieWunder says
Lemon water is the best! Great Monday activity! I highly recommend the book if you liked the mini-series. It's a quick but really good read.
Dan Steadman says
currently eating my oatmeal after zumba and getting ready for a week to begin...week 2 of Charleston training has been
JulieWunder says
Good luck! HOpe it's going well!
Gretchen says
I love reading currently surveys! I'm currently sipping some coffee and checking out blogs. Best way to start a morning! I love your boots outfit.I need to pick up some Hunter boots because they're so adorable!
JulieWunder says
It is the best way to start a morning! Hope you are having a great weekend!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I went through 2 tins of that tea last year (even while rotating it with my others), it is definitely a favorite! Keeping Melanie in my thoughts as well. I am aghast at the flooding that I'm seeing!
JulieWunder says
Thank you! Mel appreciates the prayers!
