What I'm Loving Wednesday...

Why not?

I felt the need to write something much lighter than my last post, and after reading Micah's What I'm Loving Wednesday, I thought I'd write one of my own!

This Wednesday I'm loving...

...the Olympics!
I'm super into the Olympics this year.  Perhaps, it's just from being laid up from my surgery and that it's always on, BUT I especially enjoy watching swimming and gymnastics.

These girls were freaking AWESOME!!  (via)

Have you SEEN these two swim???  (via)

...my husband.
Sure, I always love him, but he's been so awesome this week taking care of me, doing things I usually do (i.e. dishes), and making sure I have food and things I want/need.

...reading.
I am currently reading Written in my Heart's Own Blood by Diana Gabaldon.  From what I understand, it's the last book in the Outlander series.  I actually have a very hard time putting it down. Up next on my reading list: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (because, of course) and Adnon's Story by Rabia Chaudry.

...McDonald's Sweet Tea.
I had to get some blood work today to confirm things are going well post-surgery.  There's a McDonald's right by the lab I went to, and Scott got me a a sweet tea.  I drink water pretty much all the time.  Sometimes, it's so nice to have something different!

...rain!
It's hardly rained here at all since May.  Right now, the heavens have finally opened up, and we're actually getting some much needed rainfall.

Stuff & Things: Things I Love

I've got a bunch of stuff that I'm loving lately, and I thought that it would be a perfect time to crank out a blog post, link up with Kristin, and share it with all of you!

• Fall!  As much as I enjoy and look forward to my summer vacation, there's something about fall that I just love so much!  Sure, I have to get up early and go to work, but truthfully, I do love my job, and I function so much better with a routine in my life.  It's not feeling very fall-like yet here in Pennsylvania, and I'm getting a little anxious.  And around here, it's just so gorgeous in the fall.  It's breathtaking!

• Boots.  I have a problem.  Tall boots, booties, high heels, wedge heels, flats, I don't discriminate!  One of the reasons I want the weather to cool down is because I want to wear boots, and I know that somehow people wear them all year long or wear them in warmer climates, but no.  If it's hot, I don't want that much of my leg covered up.

• I also apparently love plaid.  I was browsing my "Things I Want to Wear" board on Pinterest the other day, and discovered that not only have a pinned mostly cold weather outfits, but many of them involve plaid.  Or leggings.  Or both.  I just ordered a new plaid shirt from Old Navy the other day.  I like the colors.  Still not sure that it fits me the way it's "supposed" to.  I like how the ones fit the girl in the picture.....

So all of that pretty much goes along with fall.  I guess I'm feeling a bit impatient.  Once school starts, I'm just done with summer and summer weather.  I get impatient to move on and get to the next season.  Now, winter on the other hand, I'm not a fan of at all.  I wish fall lasted longer!  That's probably why I like to just get to it.  I think I my mind, I figure if fall gets here sooner rather than later, it will stick around longer.  Doesn't seem to work that way, but a girl can dream, right?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I pretty much hate lots of things right now.

Like snow.

And winter.

And snow.

So I thought it might be a good idea to think up some things that I'm loving to try to help me forget how much I hate this season and its weather.

1. This guy:

We just celebrated our 4th Marriage Anniversary!  He never fails to make me laugh, and I love spending time with him.  :)

2. I'm a bit obsessed with this game:

You buy pens, animals, and grow crops.  Then you can complete orders that are delivered by truck or by boat.  Honestly?  I don't know why I like it so much, but when I woke up in the middle of the night recently, I checked on some products that I was producing to fill a boat order on time.  I might have a problem.

3. These people:

New Year's Eve 2013

We have the greatest group of friends!  We all have such a good time together, and I just love being around them.  (Which is saying a lot for someone like me who prefers to stay at home with her iPad....)

4. Leggings.  I can't get enough.  I wear them almost every day.

I was going to share pictures of some outfits with leggings, but for some reason, Blogger doesn't want to embed my Instagram pics.  SO if you're really curious....head over to my Instagram to check out my legging problem outfits.
