A-Z About Me: A Blogging Throwback Survey

First of all, don’t forget, Google Reader is going bye-bye! Please subscribe to my blog via email or feedburner (on the sidebar!) or transfer to Feedly or Bloglovin. I’m going to switch to Feedly, but I’ve heard great things about Bloglovin too (and I’ve used it in the past).

 

Second, my friend Linz tagged me to complete an old-school blog survey! It’s kind of an “about me” from A-Z, so here it goes!

 

A. Attached or Single? Attached! I’ve known my husband-to-be for over 3 years now, and we will be married in the fall. I’m so excited!

B. Best Friend? Depending on the context I have several best friends. My fiancé is my best friend in the whole world. I’m lucky to be marrying a man that I can call my “best friend.” I also refer to my mom as my best friend because she has become my best friend as I became an adult. My best girlfriend is Hannah. She is going to be my maid of honor, and we’re two peas in a pod.

C. Cake or pie? Cake! Are you kidding me? I beg for cake almost every night (good thing it doesn’t magically appear or else I’d be having some serious pant-size problems).

D. Day of choice? Friday! I don’t work on Fridays and its my day of peace. I get to run around to all the grocery stores, do my baking, relax, hit the gym…it’s my day to get things done.

E. Essential Item? I’m pretty stumped here. I hate to say it, but I’m glued to my iPhone, mostly because of the camera and easy social networking.

F. Favorite color?  Pink! All the way…

G. Gummy bears or worms? I’d say bears because they’re cuter but usually I prefer the worms.

H. Home town? I have two hometowns. I grew up in Littleton, CO and Fayetteville, AR. But when I say I’d love to move back “home,” it means the Northwest Arkansas area…though I’d love to be back in Denver too 😉

I. Favorite Indulgence? Ice cream! I can get pretty picky, because its my favorite thing ever, so my mind can change on any particular day depending on what I want, but I switch between wanting frozen yogurt, gelato, or real ice cream.

J. January or July? July! For sure! Because my birthday is in August J and because I hate the cold

K. Kids? Without a doubt, yes please! As soon as possible!

L. Life isn’t complete without? Family

M. Marriage date? October 12, 2013! See you there!

N. Number of brothers/sisters? Two brothers, I’m in the middle

O. Oranges or Apples? Apples! Crunch crunch (plus, it’s a vehicle for peanut butter)

P. Phobias? Want to see me flip my lid and let out the most blood curdling scream you’ve ever heard? Snakes and spiders

Q. Quotes? “Playing dress-up begins at age 5 and never truly ends.” – Kate Spade (for all you little fashionistas out there!)

R. Reasons to smile? Let me count the reasons: my family, my health, I’m marrying the love of my life soon, two adorable dogs, beautiful friends…on and on

S. Season of choice?  This is tough! I love summer but not the middle because its too hot. But I love all the beautiful fruit and flowers at the farmers markets. I love fall when all the colors change and when its still warm but cool and breezy too.

T. Tag 5 People sorry, totally not gonna do it…but please answer in the “comments” the first letter of your first name!

U. Unknown fact about me? I’m a relatively open book here (ok, so I stop a few chapters short of the index, but that’s all you need), so I’d have to think long and hard about this one. But I’ll go with something cheese-ball and say: 1. I am a complete child and flip out with glee when I get to go to a zoo AND 2. I’m a terrible swimmer! I’m afraid I’ll drown one of these days!

 

V. Vegetable? Artichokes! They happen to be my favorite food too. I’m pretty sure I was the only kid who answered “artichokes” as their favorite food since Kindergarten…I got lots of strange looks to say the least.

W. Worst habit? I stress and worry about everything! I can’t let anything “slide” and I absolutely cannot cope with plans changing. It’s caused a lot of problems in my life, but I’m working on it (slowly but surely).

X. Xray or Ultrasound? Ultrasound. Bring on the goo…

Y. Your favorite food? Artichokes (I sound like a broken record)

Z. Zodiac sign? Leo! Rawrrrrrrr…
