A to Z survey
Hi friends! How’s the day going?? Hope you’re having a wonderful morning! Since I’m getting things ready for travel today, I thought it would be a fun time for a little survey. I first saw this one on my lovely friend Julie’s blog.
I always enjoy reading these, and love hearing more about you, too, if you want to answer some of the questions in the comments section. 🙂
A – Age: 30.
B – Biggest Fear: Flying, driving over the Coronado Bridge, and dinosaurs.
C – Current Time: 3:26pm
D – Drink You Had Last: sparkling water. All day erryday.
E – Easiest Person To Talk To: Tom
F – Favorite Song: There are so many, but my #1 all-time fave is “Come On Eileen” (the Save Ferris version). “Home” by Michael Buble is a close second.
G – Grossest Memory: Thumbgate 2014. The aftermath of our kitchen and porch were pretty gnarly. (Apparently cuts to the tendon bleed a lot.)
H – Hometown: I was born in Tucson AZ, which will always have my heart because the fam is there! We’ve moved quite a bit -I’ve lived in Fayetteville, NC, Valdosta, GA, Orlando, FL and Tucson- but we now live in San Diego, which we love. I’m ok staying here as long as we can.
I – In Love With: Tom, Livi, her baby sister, Bella and Caroline.
J – Jealous Of: the fact that the Pilot can eat a dozen doughnuts and it just adds another chisel to his abs. Life isn’t fair sometimes.
K – Kindest Person You Know: My nana. She is an angel.
L – Longest Relationship: The Pilot! Our 10-year date-iversary is this year.
M – Middle Name: Marie
N – Number of Siblings: Four (all boys!)
O – One Wish: for a safe, healthy baby and delivery.
P – Person You Spoke To On The Phone Last: My brother Kyle.
Q – Question You’re Always Asked: “How many months pregnant are you?” and “How long are you going to be teaching?”
R – Reason To Smile: baby kicks are the best. Ignore me while I walk around rubbing my belly and smiling like a goober.
S – Song You Last Sang: “Bad Blood” by T Swift with Livi. She knows the words better than I do haha.
T – Time You Woke Up: 8 a.m., groggily, with a sleeping Livi next to me. She crawls into bed sometime early in the morning and crashes back out. If I don’t teach early, I sleep in with her. I’m enjoying it for as long as I can, until October when sleep becomes a beautiful memory for a few months. 😉
U – Underwear Color: Grey
V – Vacation Destination: Italy. I ask the Pilot if we can go back basically every day.
W – Worst Habit: This isn’t really a “habit” but I do it so often that I guess it is: stubbing my right pinky toe. It looks totally different from the rest of my (already iffy dancer’s) toes. The Pilot jokes that I should have it taken off. It’s just in the way anyway.
X – X-Rays You’ve Had: Mostly dental x-rays, but I’ve also had chest (to check for Tuberculosis because I refused the needle prick test) and thumb.
Y – Your Favorite Food: Egg burritos, chocolate and wine. (Wine, I miss you.)
Z – Zodiac Sign: Scorpio!
Your turn! I always love hearing more about you and what you’re up to.
What’s one wish you have right now?
Favorite food?
Worst habit?
and vacation destination??
Have a great morning and I’ll see ya later today!
xoxo

I have to say your comment about the donuts and men is so true. My husband is studying for the bar at the moment and eating a TON of pizza and I swear he is getting fitter by the second, while I slave away at the gym! 😉
I could live in Paris without any hesitation. I’ve already put in a request with the husband to go back (been 4 times…not enough), for my 35th birthday.
Also, I agree about the dudes and donuts note! Scott keeps saying “I’m so fat. Keep all the junk food away”. Meanwhile he’ll eat chips, burgers, chocolate, and looks exactly the same. If I ate the way he did we’d have to expand our front door. 😉
same! i could never eat the same way. not only would things change dramatically (like my jeans wouldn’t fit) but i would feel like death
This was so fun to read! I want donut abs!! You’re right, that’s not fair 🙂 My fave vacation destination is Hawaii. I’m itching to get back to Maui so bad! I need the ocean! My favorite food is pizza and not healthified pizza. Also, fudgy, chewy brownies that practically stick to your mouth because they are so gooey.
Donut abs, life is so not fair! Vacation destination would have to be Jamaica or Hawaii… any beautiful beach really :). Favorite food…green beans cooked in bacon and garlic and ice cream with ALL the chewy chocolaty and peanut-buttery add-ins 🙂
donut abs! hahaha
What’s one wish you have right now?: To have a metabolism like the Pilot, LOL. Just kidding – and I understand! My husband is like that too! Actually, to figure out a way I could drop down to part time work and my son wouldn’t have to spend so much time at daycare.
Favorite food? I’m right there with you on egg burritos. BEST. EVER. Eggs in general really. Runner up is avocado.
Worst habit? Emotional eating.
and vacation destination?? My favorite destination so far is Glacier National Park. I finally convinced my homebody husband to go on a honeymoon though (on our 5th anniversary) and we’re going to the Big Island of Hawaii – so I’m WAY EXCITED about that!
Why dinosaurs? I don’t think we need to worry about an invasion any time soon… ha! 😉
haha that is true! they freak me out because they used to be real. i don’t like dinosaur rides or dinosaur movies. they creep me out way more than an horror-type thing
My favorite food is sushi, and vacation destination is a tie between Napa and Cape Cod!
still haven’t been to napa! cape cod is gorgeous, though
So may favorite foods! I’ll go with Sushi… and Mac & Cheese 🙂
My dream vacation is to go to Tahiti, someday I hope!
Eggs are definitely my favorite food 🙂 I make an egg burrito almost everyday for lunch and it never, ever gets old!
Totally agree on Italy being a favorite destination. I studied abroad in Rome during college and I dream of going back ALL the time… I also love “Come on Eileen.” My college roomie used to blast that song and we would have danc parties in our dorm room. Yeah, we were cool 😉 hehe
i have an egg burrito almost every day too 🙂 twinsies
that is so cool you studied abroad!!
You know dinosaurs are extinct, right? 🙂 Favorite food-pasta. Favorite destination- Greece. Worst habit-touching my dry skin. One wish- long, happy life with my loved ones!
haha yes, but THEY USED TO BE HERE
Your comments about Tom and the donuts is hilarious! I tell you what girl, it always catches up with me in their 40s and 50s. I think women are lucky because we’re trained early not to eat too much of that stuff or it shows in our gut. Men get away with it but it always catches up.
that is true! i keep waiting for it to catch up with tom, but nothing yet. he’s been working out quite a bit so many he’s burning it off haha
Italy is #1 on my bucket list! Soon!
Fave food is pizza… and all the sweets. 😉
Loved getting to know you more! My worst habit would have to be my nail picking/pulling at cuticles, not only can it be painful but it makes my nails look pretty bad as well!
Favorite food is hands down sushi ;)!
Favorite food is kale chips!! Such a funny one I would think, but I can eat a whole pan and still want more. My husband knows he doesn’t get but 1 when we make them. 🙂 ps I feel you on the men/doughnut thing. My husband is the same way. Life *sigh* 🙂
One wish: for health and happiness or my family! <3
Favourite food: ice cream, and at the moment local summer strawberries. Yum!
Worst habit: over thinking things.
Vacation destination: our dream is Alaska. Someday it will happen and we will go dog sledding
What’s one wish you have right now?
That Pipers 2nd top front tooth pops through any day! Teething is not fun. It’s the little things, right?
Favorite food?
Chips & salsa. Could eat my weight in it. Or guac.. Or fresh crab. Orrrr…haha
Worst habit?
Procrastination.
and vacation destination??
Chiang Mai, Thailand. I’d go back in a heartbeat.
i feel like teething is one of the hardest parts about parenting because you can’t do much about it!
LOVE chips and salsa too! next time we’re around (and i’m not preg haha) we need a chips, salsa and rita date
Totally unrelated but do you have a Vitamix S30 and like it? Or would you buy the full size version instead? My Blendtec is a pain and I want something new! Thanks!
i do- i love it!! it depends what you want to use it for. just smoothies: go for S30. if you want to use it for everything (flours, nut butter, soups, salsa, hummus, etc) i would go full size
Fave go-to foods are eggs and fruit. Love that about Tom and the donuts. Men lose weight by merely blinking at eye. Totally fair for sure…
I put the same thing on my blog for jealous–man metabolism isn’t fair! I really want to go to London or Greece.
Favorite food? pizza
Worst habit? picking at my cuticles
and vacation destination?? I would love to go diving in Australia!
i would love to go to australia one of these days, too!
Love that photo of you and The Pilot! I hope you have that one framed. 🙂
I get the same questions asked to me allllll the time about pregnancy and how long I’ll be teaching!
that picture of you & the pilot ( i wrote Tom, but that just felt weird haha), so old, yet so cute & gets me every time! :’) i didtnt realize you guys have been married so long! congrats <3
and 4 brothers?! oh my. i thought you had two haha. loved this survey! 🙂 italy is my dream vaca too. it was one of my favorites and ohmytakemethereright NOW haha
Loved the survey! My brother’s name is Kyle too! And your worst habit made me giggle.
My favorite food is probably sashimi – raw fish (I love hamachi, ahi, and salmon)! With some wasabi and shoyu, yum. But I love food, so it is actually really hard to just choose one…
Worst habit is my over-thinking/nitpicking over details. Sometimes it’s good, but other times, it can be really bad!
Vacation destination…I would love to go back to Dharamsala in India (I was there for a two week home stay and still keep in touch with my host family) or Italy! I’ve never been to Europe. 🙂
Gotta love the surveys!
One wish i have right now….hmm can’t really think of one.
I can’t name just one favorite food, so I will go with sweet potatoes, sunbutter, avocadoes, and ice cream 🙂
My husband would say my worse habit is cracking my big toe. I do it without even thinking !
Vaca: Hawaii! Hopefully next year!
you will love it!! do you know where in hawaii you want to go?
I went to the main island & maui when I was ~10 y/o. Don’t remember much besides snorkling all day. 🙂
We plan on definitely going to kauai & likely maui too!
I want to go back to Italy too. It’s such a beautiful country with amazing food.
I’m a Scorpio too!
it’s seriously a dream land. yay for scorpios 🙂
Wish: Healthy baby girl!
i wish that for you, too!
vacation destination – been dying to experience italy with my fiancé !
I actually love the Coronado Bridge, and I am bummed it freaks you out! That island is one of my favorite spots, and if I were to have a wedding, I’d probably want it out there. So picturesque and quiet at the same time.
Favorite food: carne asada burritos!
i love the island, and can’t stand the bridge. the water on each side freaks me out
So fun…!
Age – 34 (oh it feels so old…or at least my body thinks so…my mind is 24)
Favorite Song – I’m totally into ratchet songs right now…679 by Fetty Wap & Remy Boyz …also Can’t Feel My Face by The Weekend
Hometown – Wilmington, Delaware (I know…how many people do you meet from Delaware?!?!) I’ve lived in NY, Tucson, Boston & currently in Northern Virginia (super close to DC)
Vacation Destination – Maldives, Galapagos, Fiji, Vienna & Australia
Zodiac – Taurus…to the core…!
This looks fun. I’m a nerd I love surveys 😉
Favorite food is definitely Mexican or TexMex. And giant chopped salads. And homemade healthy baking treats to go with my coffee- is that a food group? Haha
I would LOVE to visit Australia/New Zealand one day!
And off to maybe write up a similar blog post right now!!
