What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Sorry for missing last week, work has been crazy busy. I clocked 31 hours of OVERTIME last week. This is my 11th straight day to be at work, I'm just glad I remembered it was Wednesday!

I'm loving...

That despite my insane schedule the past few weeks, I've been able to find a few spare moments to see some friends! Seeing friends and getting hugs has helped me stay sane during this crazy time at work. Lol.

 

I'm loving...

That I was able to make the Rangers game last Saturday night to see Michael Young inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame (I got off work by mid-afternoon that day). Even though I should have stayed home to rest on my one night off, nothing was going to keep me from being there! And I also got to see some friends. And I got hugs. Yes, I love hugs. :)

I'm loving...

That I got this in the mail this week. It's no secret I'm a Spurs fan (much to the dismay of my Dallas Mavericks friends). Or maybe it is a secret, it seems people are shocked when they find out. Lol. I do like the Mavericks too, but Spurs are number one in my heart. I was raised in Austin by parents who are both from San Antonio, so naturally I was raised as a Spurs fan. I think a lot of people forget I'm not originally from Dallas. :) Anyway, Tim Duncan retired last month and the San Antonio newspaper had these items available for sale on their website, so of course I had to purchase them. Yes, I HAD to, there was no other option. :)

Yes, my hair was once very blonde. I seem to get a shocked reaction anytime I post an old picture. Lol.

I'm loving...

This set of gel pens my friend bought me. Yes, I'm a nerd. I like to have my day planner color coordinated if I can (yes, day planner, I can't get used to using the calendar in my phone, I like seeing everything I have to do written out). :) It's the little things in life that make me happy. :)

I'm loving...

Bobbleheads (again people, it's the little things in life that make me happy). I got the Franchise Four bobblehead on Saturday night at the Michael Young Hall of Fame game. My sweet friend Eric got me the green dot bobblehead on Sunday afternoon. I had to work all day Sunday and couldn't go to the Rangers game, so he sat 50 feet from the sun (his words) at the game to get me the green dot. Yes, I have a bobblehead obsession- I'm well aware of it. 

I'm loving...

That I'm TRYING to eat healthier (despite the three pictures posted above of me eating at fast food places). Lol. I keep fruits and veggies in my freezer to put in my morning smoothies. I also buy a lot of frozen veggies to cook for supper. Roasted broccoli and roasted cauliflower are two of my favorite sides! I also love me some corn on the cob.

In all honesty, there are two pints of Blue Bell ice cream in the door of my freezer, but hey, baby steps. 

I LOVE these ziplock bags. My smoothies usually call for a half a cup or cup of various fruits or veggies. I put them in these bags, that way I know how much is in each one. It eliminates me having to measure the fruits/veggies out each morning. I also put ice in some of them (some of my smoothies require a cup of ice). It takes me less than 3 minutes to make a smoothie this way. 

I'm loving...

When I see a rainbow. It's a reminder to me of God's promise to us. I love when I see one during an, "Are you there God, it's me, Rachel" moment. It just makes me feel that my life isn't as out of control as I think it is.

I'm loving...

That in two weeks, I'll be in Chicago visiting my lovely friend Harrie! We have lots of fun stuff planned, including a Cubs game (I will finally cross Wrigley Field off my baseball list!) Yes, I'll do a Chicago blog post recap (but you know my track record, it will probably take me two months to get it posted). Speaking of which, I hope to wrap up my last road trip recap soon. My goal is to have a road trip post up tomorrow. We will see how that goes! :)

Last time I saw Harrie was two years ago when I was in Chicago for about five hours. She came over to the White Sox part of town and met me for dinner after I went to a White Sox game. :) 

What are YOU loving today?

XOXO!
