5 things i'm loving right now... april

here are the 5 things i'm loving right now for april (already)

1.  baseball!!!!  i'm so excited for baseball season again- esp after last year ended so heart-breakingly.  it's a new year though!  i'd love it even more if i were in atlanta where i could actually watch the braves play on tv, instead i get to catch highlights or listen to dave carry on about how bad the cubs are.  luckily the braves will be in town next month- it's too bad they aren't going to be in atlanta when we are though...

2.  georgia!!!  so excited to be headed home for a few days to visit with family.  the friends seem to be dwindling and i've kind of given up, but such is being an adult.  as much as i want to live there again- the thought of leaving my friends here and returning to somewhere to have to make new friends is kind of scary.  i still look forward to the trip- the weather better not be playing though.  i'm excited to spend another easter at home.  (img)

3.  the vera sale.  it's become a tradition for dave's mom & me to hit up the annual outlet sale.  this will be year 4.  they are doing ticketed sessions again, so i expect that it will be as nice as it was last year.  plus, you can't beat purses at 75% off.  and maybe i will bring back a goodie for you.  

4.  drowning ruth.  i gave up on my food book b\c i couldn't get into it (and in all fairness i didn't give it a chance- but i'll be back).  i picked up this book off my shelf and i am captivated and intrigued.  i know something huge is going to happen- but what.  spending a lot of nights up late reading this one.  (img)

5.  yoga.  i never thought i would take up yoga, but i took a free class w\ one of my mom groups at the local pilates studio and i really enjoyed it- so much so that i bought a package of classes.  i've done a few yin classes and a few vinyasa/power/flow classes.  plus, i found out that my teacher from the pilates studio also teaches at my gym (and those classes are FREE).  i've got a ways to go to be good, but i'm really enjoying it.  can't wait to get back into classes when we're back from traveling.

5 things i'm loving right now (march)

how in the world is it march already?!  cray.  i get my hopes all up because in georgia- march means spring is coming (and from the sound of it- it's already been spring all winter back home).  here in illinois, that's just not the case- today it was 60 degrees- how delightful, right?  by that evening it was 35 and sleeting.  boo.  all i know is that warmer weather is definitely around some corner & spring begins in march + daylight savings time begins!

here's what i'm loving this month...

modcloth!  i love modcloth every month, but there's extra love for them right now.  i'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my stylish surprise.  omg- what am i getting?!?  i guess we'll find out this weekend.  i can't wait to see.  i love that modcloth does surprising little treats + they have top notch customer service.  i'm so excited to be apart of their modsquad again this year!!

this book!  i've just started reading it and i'm really excited to see what's in store.  i'm sure i'm in for a rude awakening.  we're always making small changes to make our diet better.  for lent i've decided to give up coke.  so far i'm 1 week in and i really haven't had any cravings for it yet.  we'll see how the next 5 weeks go!

the hunger games movie!!!  i just finished reading the trilogy earlier this week.  i loved it.  i'm really excited to see the movie.  dave wants to read the series too, so i'm hoping i can at least get him to finish the first book in time to see the movie opening weekend.  anyone else a fan?

hair tutorials (not my own- but from other people).  they are the source of my greatest joy and my greatest frustration.  there are a few that i've mastered quite easily and some that i just can't get no matter how long i try.  seriously, i need someone to teach me the secret to back combing (just can't seem to get it right) and how to pull the top part of my hair up (just can't ever get that right either).  and i hated my long hair so much- but  now it's too short...  

i am obsessed with iced coffee (and coffee in general right now).  i go through stages with coffee- i drink it for weeks and then i quit drinking it for months.   right now i'm drinking hot coffee and iced coffee.  i have to say how much i love mcdonald's iced coffee.  we don't go there very often- rarely, but lately i've been making a stop there for some delish iced coffee.  i usually get a small with cream only & vanilla sugar-free syrup.  only 60 calories in that.  yesssss.
