Now onto my actual post...

Saw this "a to z" post on an awesome blog I came across the other day: Sophistifunk, but it looks like other bloggers have been doing it for awhile too. It's just a fun, little survey, but will tell you all a little bit more about me, in case you didn't know! :)

R is for random fact about you: 

When I lived in Monterey, CA a few years back, we frequented Clint Eastwood's restaurant in Carmel - and I actually saw him a few feet from me one time! If you ever get a chance to make it out that way, I highly recommend stopping by and checking Mission Ranch out - great food, beautiful location and you might even run into CE :P

S is for favorite healthy snack: 

Granny smith apple & peanut butter

T is for favorite treat: 

Chocolate chip cookie dough DQ Blizzard (with caramel sauce, instead of chocolate)


U is for something that makes you unique: 

My husband and I, due mostly to military circumstances, have lived apart longer than we have lived together (during our marriage)...NOPE, I'm not joking! :( It has been really tough, but we are almost to the end of this long-distance period and I can't wait til we can actually get back to 'typical' married life (I think this is pretty unique, I know military families are separated  a lot of times and for extended periods, but to be separated longer than you've been together while married...haven't met anyone yet that can say that).

V is for favorite vegetable:

Broccoli

W is for today’s workout: 

Probably going to go for a run - shooting for 5 miles

X is for X-rays you’ve had:

Teeth/jaw, wrist...I think that's it

Y is for yesterday’s highlight:

I'm going to go with Sunday's highlight (because yesterday was just a boring old Monday work-day). Sunday I volunteered at Habitat Young Professionals of Charlotte's Mud Volleyball Tournament (yearly fundraiser) - it was a blast! Great weather, teams had fun and lots of people came out to support!

Z is for your time zone: 

Eastern Standard
