Reading: I am about 75% done with Game of Love. I am hoping to complete it and squeeze in one more book before the Show Us Your Books link up! Also, I have a bazillion magazines I need to be catching up on!

Listening: Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison on audiobook. I am really enjoying this one! I just loved watching The Girls Next Door back in the day. Which was your favorite? Mine was Bridget.

Also, I have listened to The Fray a lot this week. Remember this song…

Watching: Marcos. It is a new series on Netflix about a drug cartel in Columbia. I like it, but I wish that there weren’t so many subtitles! I have to wear my glasses because I am an old lady and  cant see the words and sadly I hardly remember any Spanish after the four years I took of it in high school.

Thinking: This is by far  one of my favorite movie quotes of all time….

"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast" - Lewis Carroll <3 Great quote.: "Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast" - Lewis Carroll <3 Great quote.

Feeling: Like I finally have some definition starting to show in different areas of my body. Like my arms. Don’t mind the no make up, baggy eyes I woke up at 430am to get this work out in look. I still have a long way to go, but I can appreciate how far I have come.

Reading: I started Then You Were Gone this week but to be honest…I am having a hard time getting in to it. I think Before We Were Strangers was so good I am having a hard time moving on. I hate when that happens!

Listening: Yesterday I started listening to The Boy Who Dared on audiobook. Jury is still out on my thoughts with this one. It takes place during WWII and I am starting to identify with the young boy the story is based on.

Watching: We are still trying to get in to Once Upon a Time. I am enjoying it but I get confused on what is going on sometimes. It does make me wanted to look in to the fairy tale books though like Cinder. Thoughts on those??

Lusting: All of the fall things!!! Mainly booties, like these ones from Target.

Women's Delaney Western Boots

Or these from Nordstrom

Or something super fun like these…

Pinning: How to wear boots! There are so many great ways to pair them.

20 ways to wear boots - there are not enough days in the year for the number of boots I would like to own! LOVE the riding boots in this post.

Eating: All of the healthy things, with the exception of tonight. We have had salad for dinner two nights this week and pork chops on Monday. For lunches I have had greek quinoa salad, edamame and nectarines. A shit ton of water and tea too!

Thinking:

It it scares you, it might be a good thing to try.

Enjoying: Daily chats with my mom. Every two weeks she works days for two weeks and I get to call her on my way home from work. I enjoy that so much!!!! Sometimes we talk about whats going on in our lives, sometimes we reminisce about when we were younger and sometimes we talk about a TV show we are in to. Every single one of those conversations is much needed! Moms are the best, you know??

Throwing Back: To when Mac was a little puppy!!! He turned 5 on the 10th and I was a bad puppy mom and totally let that slip by. One of my friends has a birthday that same day and I just knew there was someone else I was missing!!!

Mac’s first contact with Gracie:

Gracie looks amused here, right?

Happy Birthday Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excited: For a drink with Laura!!! It has been far too long since I have seen her beautiful face.

Happy Friday Eve!!!!!

Listening to: Podcasts. Specifically catching up on Undisclosed, Birmingham Shines, Being Boss and Jenna & Julien this week since I got behind.

Watching: This weeks episode of Pretty Little Liars. Was that not the most anti-climatic episode ever??? Next week better be freaking epic.

Reading: Micah from the Damage Control series. I only have about 40 pages left so I hope to finish it today!

Drinking: Tea!! All of the teas! I am loving Tazo’s Iced Blushberry Black tea on my way to work in the mornings. I have been sipping on their Passion and Bigelow’s Mint Green during the work day. Antioxidants everywhere!

Wanting: To get some plants going around the house. I think I finally have a few spots picked out.

Working Out: With the Nike training app! I love to just randomly pick a work out on here and go with it.

 

Lusting: All of the fall things! The season is almost here. Aren’t these booties so perfect?

Excited: For my birthday! I don’t know why, but I have a good feeling about 32. I want this to be my year.

Counting Down: For my very first link up!

Reading: Before We Met – I picked up this gem at the thrift store for $0.49! Heck yes! I am only two chapters in but they describe this book as the British Gone Girl. I haven’t read that one yet either…

 

Watching: We have been binging on Chicago PD. Love this show!!! They have done two crossover episodes with SVU and two with Chicago Fire, so it is pretty cool to see the characters interacting between those casts. We finished up season 1 last night.

Listening to: I have been listening to my country play list a lot this past week when I am not listening to Podcast. Speaking of podcasts, anyone else listen to Disclosed this week for Jay’s Day? Crazy, huh?!?!?!

Wearing: The crap out of all my spring/summer dresses and my denim jacket!We have been in the 80’s and 90’s around these parts lately and it has been fabulous. Enjoying it every second I can before it gets too hot.

Lusting: Some new work out gear. I have been wearing the same few outfits for the last two years. They are starting to get worn out pretty bad!

Wishing: Chris a very Happy Birthday!!! Today is his birthday, the fifth one that we are spending together. I wake up every day blessed to be by his side.
