lovin right now

I really enjoy putting together "lovin right now".  I know when I am lovin change quite often but doesn't it for everyone?  We don't like the same things all the time and I am thankful for change.  Each one of these items was inspired by someone else.  So I am going to try and share where the inspiration came from for each.  

Happy weekend!

1  my new favorite hat that I bought at Kmart last weekend.  I wear it all the time now when outside. It is light weight, comfortable and sort of has a wired brim that will stay when adjusted.My inspiration has come from several places but mainly from a blog I follow of a gal who wears hats.  I like the ones made of wool but know they would be too hot this time of year... plus they can be high priced.  Her blog is Roots and Feathers

2  My friend Jennifer shared a couple of food blogs with me that her daughter really likes. 

On one of them called  My Whole Food Life, I found the recipe for Almond Joy Bites.

Not really including a lot of sweet in my diet, but still craving mercifully, I decided to try these.

Oh my... I'm on my second batch and have only shared them with one person... my sister Tracy.

Love them!!!  The blog has amazing recipes!

3   My hair dresser and I were talking movies several months ago and I wrote down the name of the movie Lawless at that time.  I had forgotten about it until I was working on my taxes and found the piece of paper I had written the name of the movie on.  I got it from the library and we watched it... twice.  We really liked it.  So then I got back on the music part of the library and found the Lawless soundtrack which I now really like!  My two favorite songs are Fire and Brimstone and Cosmonaut.  Listen to a tad on amazon.

4   Someone mentioned to Shaun that comfrey oil helped their psoriasis.  Last Saturday I ventured in to the Orbit Health Food Store in Goodlettsville Plaza on my run to the library.  I am also going to start yoga lessens there that I am sooo excited about!  I bought the comfrey oil and have been mixing it with jojoba oil and applying it to my legs.  It really does seem to be helping so far although it's only been a few days.

5  My friend Barb had favorited these earrings in a shop on Etsy.  I saw them and wound up buying the turquoise ones.  I wore them every day for over a week, loved them and decided to buy the dark red pair too!  What a hog!  The shop is called LostBirdArt.  Really sweet gal!

Here's my hat and the turquoise earrings!  My mp3 player is in my pocket with Lawless playing too! And trust me... there were a couple Almond Joy Bites in the fridge that day that are way gone now!  Have a relaxing weekend!

1. Doc Martin - channel 8 show that I caught one evening when Shaun was snoring on the couch.  I thought it was a tad bland at first but within minutes I was sucked in and watched the whole show.  The next time I caught it on the same thing happened to Shaun.  It has been on for several years so I looked it up at the library to start from the beginning and catch up.

2. Dots.com or Dots on Dickerson Road.  I have been wearing their seven dollar, long sleeve t-shirts for a few years now.  I layer with them.  I just bought some a size up from what I wear just to have longer sleeves and length.  Not that they run small... quite the opposite.  The sleeves have always been long enough for my long arms... I just wanted longer :)

3.  While waiting for my prescription of Tamiflu at Walgreens, I found these Glue Dots!  The kind I bought are removable and fantastic for quick projects and when you don't want to wait for the glue to dry or if the tape stops sticking!

4.  I bought this Crane frog humidifier for the day care.  The slight misty fog comes out the top.  I felt it could help us all during these winter months when the heat runs non-stop.

5.  Saltine/peanut butter sandwiches.  Y  U  M .  Kroger saltine crackers are my favorite because they have good salt on them and Kroger creamy peanut butter is fine with me too.  I'm not a brand name girl at the grocery store anyway!

So there's what I'm lovin' right now!

Muah!

Just a teeny list of things I am slightly addicted to at the moment. 

 

 

Sweatshirt from Target men's department.  I seriously do not want to take it off.  It is so soft and warm, just long enough and just loose enough.  Hard to believe it's made for a man.

 

Also made for men... Hanes 4 pack, v-neck tees in black and gray.  I already expressed my love for the white ones, so I thought I'd get some other colors.  Comfortable and relaxing.

 

Dots skinny jeans.  I have had my pair for at least two years and never wear them... until recently.  They are so comfy and hold me just right and came in at a great price.

 

Roasted peanuts and candy corn!  I have to have a handful every night!  The combination of salted peanuts and candy corn sweetness tastes like a Payday candy bar.  Be sure to get the salted nuts and not be like me who was too cheap to spring for Planters nuts and had to get the lightly salted Kroger brand because that's all they had... not the same.  Boo.

 

Movies based at holiday time.  I was making ornaments last Sunday and watched The Holiday twice and The Family Stone once.  It made me cry too much to watch it twice.  I'm not quite ready tor Elf and A Christmas Story.  Easin' right in to the season here.

truly I am not one who indulges in really expensive things.  i like comfort, i like cheap, i feel i am an easy to please kind of gal.  here are a few things that are rockin my world lately.  the only thing that you can't find at your local super-walmart are the american eagle jeans.  and mine are thrifted, used and extremely broke in.  i like em like that!

 

 

i'm hooked on nerds.  the funny thing is, is that they have been in a candy jar at the day care for months without me touching them and all of a sudden they are all i want!

 

i accidentally/kinda purposely bought the green apple chapstick at the dg for shaun.  he likes the original and i thought i could pass this off cause they didn't have his kind at the register.... didn't work.  lucky for me i'm now a big fan of it!

 

my men's department, 3 pack, v-neck, white tees.  softer with every wash.  made for a man but strong enough for this woman! 

 

my jeans have holes and are a tad too tight but i some how can find used american eagle jeans at the thrift store like nobody's business and take them on through the rest of their jean existence. with love.

 

i am completely digging the smell of lavender/vanilla downy infusions.  i washed an afghan that i bought at a yard sale that is so soft and it held on to this smell like a boss.  i sat in my comfy chair last night covered up in lavender vanilla heaven.  i like it on my clothes too.  i even washed our sheets, blanket and bedspread in it and when i walked in the room it smelled wonderful and clean.
