I

think Julie DeJarnatt set a Snack record for speed in sending over IF List answers! I quickly learned that this category savant is true to her heart. With a soul steeped in delicious foods, relatable movies, and the deep blue sea, we were immediately taken with this list of “What IFs.” Hear how Julie channels her inner Meryl Streep to take on the world one role at a time…


IF you had to choose now, what would your last meal consist of?

Mmm, breakfast! A Southern pecan waffle, country ham, and hot coffee with cream and sugar.

IF you could have any actor play you in a movie, who would you want?

Meryl Streep. I see various versions of myself in her roles. My favorites being Margaret Thatcher, Donna Sheridan, and Miranda Priestly—but only for her wardrobe!

IF you could imagine yourself in a different industry, what would it be?

Marine biology. I am most at peace when I am surrounded by water.

IF you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

All four of my grandparents, who have passed. I would ask all of the questions I never had a chance to ask.

IF you had to wear the same thing every day, what items of clothing would you pick?

Comfortable shoes—Saysh is my current brand of choice.

IF you were another species in the animal kingdom, what would you be?

A chameleon. I wear a lot of different hats and need to smoothly transition throughout the day while being a woman, wife, mother, daughter, friend, and business professional.

IF you could make everyone watch a movie of your choosing, which movie would you want them to see?

Wall-E hits all of the emotions, and it has a message for every generation. We get one body to live in and one world to live on—treat them well!

IF you had to eat the same thing every day for the rest of your days, what would you eat?

Sushi.

IF you could join a musician, dead or alive, on stage to sing along or play an instrument with, who would you choose and why?

Dolly Parton, and we would sing “Jolene.” It wouldn’t be pretty, but I would love every second of it.

IF you could re-experience an awesome day in your life, what day would you choose and why?

My wedding day—we were really young and it was all a blur. I would slow down and savor every moment.

IF you had a superpower, what would you want it to be?

Teleportation. It takes too long to get anywhere from my neck of
the woods.

IF you had to choose one song to be the soundtrack of your year, what would it be?
“Fight Song” by Rachel Platten. This has been a season of change which brings personal doubt and external challenges. But we made it! The Snack Endstop
