What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving...

That my bestie Zach is coming up to see me this weekend. We are going to an art gallery opening on Saturday and the Cowboys home opener on Sunday! We are SO cultured. :)

At a minor league game with Zach earlier this summer

I'm loving...

That I went to so many Rangers games over the past two weeks. It was exhuasting, but fun! Out of the ten games I saw, I saw eight wins. And it's always so great to see friends (and family) when I'm at the Ballpark!

I won tickets to my company's suite one night- we had a lot of fun!!

Got to see former Rangers player David Murphy last Saturday at the Ballpark

I'm loving...

The new additions to my bobblehead collection.

I'm loving...

That I finally got to try out the Lazy River at the the Frisco RoughRider ballpark- some friends and I went last Thursday night. I highly recommend trying it out next year (since their season is now over). The ticket includes all you can eat/drink (soda). It's very relaxing to float in the water while watching baseball. Just keep a heads up for a home run ball!

I'm loving...

That the State Fair of Texas starts at the end of this month. I went to the RoughRider game again on Friday night and the first 500 fans got a free ticket to the Fair. I can't wait to go. I also met the voice of Big Tex himself!

A "mini" Big Tex.

Howdy folks...

I'm loving...

When I meet Twitter peeps at the Ballpark!

My Twitter friend Chris and his family just happened to be sitting behind me at the game on Saturday! It was so random! My friend bought the tickets, so I wasn't even in my usual seat. 

This new Twitter friend and I actually met while waiting to meet David Murphy. We decided to start following each other on Twitter- you can never have too many Rangers friends!

I'm loving...

Unexpected gifts from friends! They make me feel so loved!

My friend Monica (2.0) gave me this as a late birthday present (I hadn't really seen her since my birthday in May).

My sweet Twitter friend Peter sent me this from San Antonio

I'm loving...

That J.K. Rowling "liked" another tweet of mine. I think we are best friends now. I should probably invite her to supper. :)

I'm loving...

This shirt my cousin Kristen gave me. I wore it to the game on Sunday- no luck though, no guy proposed to me. Lol. Maybe next time.

I'm loving...

That I'm slowly working on my scrapbooks again. My living room looks like Michael's and Hobby Lobby threw up, but oh well. Lol.

What are YOU loving today? Be sure to comment below (or leave a message on Twitter or Facebook). 

XOXO!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Thank you to everyone who links up with us each week (or almost every week)! We really enjoy reading your blogs! :)

I'm loving...

That I got to see some of my family over Father's Day weekend. Three of my five siblings were there (including my brother Mark, who I sadly don't see that often). And of course I got to see my sweet great-nephews, C and E. Hugs from them always make things better! And I got my obligatory Father's Day picture with my daddy (top left corner).

I'm loving...

This late birthday present from a sweet friend of mine. He actually emailed me a Groupon gift card so I could order it myself (he didn't have my mailing address). I LOVE it. 

I'm loving...

That I get to see my beautiful friend Micah this week- she will be in town visiting! We are going to a Rangers game while she is here (it's a day game-I promise to wear sunscreen this time). :)

Picture of the last Rangers game we were at together- in like 2012

I'm loving...

Hot tea. I've been drinking a lot of it lately. I have a cup every morning at work with my breakfast. :)

I'm loving...

This sweet dog named Murphy. I went to see a good friend of mine in the hospital last week. Murphy is a therapy dog and was making the rounds to each room to visit patients. He was so sweet. His owner said that he loves going to visit people.

I'm loving...

Meeting up with my Twitter peeps to watch Rangers games. I went to two watching parties last week. I had a lot of fun at both of them.

I'm loving...

That I was able to see my friend Diana before she moved to California. She and I used to work together, and her last day was during a week I wasn't at work. I thought I had missed a chance to say goodbye. Thankfully she was still in town for a few extra weeks so I went by to see her last Friday.

I'm loving...

Garage sales. Diana was having a garage sale and I got ALL of this stuff for an insanely low price (seriously, it's ridiculous that she didn't charge me that much). Lol. I practically have a new wardrobe (and like seven new pairs of shoes and a lot of new jewelry). 

What are YOU loving today??

XOXO!

All I Want For Christmas...

It seems a lot of bloggers are posting what they want for Christmas, and since I'm on track to update my blog FIVE DAYS IN A ROW, I decided to steal borrow use that idea. 

Texas Rangers purse

I know, like I NEED another baseball purse. But I've been wanting to get this one for two months. I'll probably break down and buy it myself. MLB.com is having a sale today. I have a weakness for sales.

 Audrey Hepburn lunchkit

Audrey Hepburn lunchbox. And yes, I would totally take my lunch to work in this! :)

iPad 2.0

iPad 2.0. I keep going back and forth if I need one. Well, I know I don't NEED one, but I think I really want one.

Any of the cute outfits I have on my Pinterest Fashion board. Seriously, why can't I find cute stuff like this when I'm out shopping?

Speaking of clothes, I want this Rangers hoodie too!

Rangers clock (I'm seeing a pattern with my wishlist here).

I would totally put this in my sports loft.

This Audrey Hepburn book (so basically give me something Rangers or Audrey Hepburn related, and I'm happy!) :)

So, what is on your Christmas wish list? Hope y'all have a great weekend!!

XOXO!

Blog Challenge 2012- Day 6 & WILW

Day 6: What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced?

Okay, I really don't like today's challenge. It's too sad, so I'll keep this short. I guess the hardest thing I've experienced is the passing of my brother-in-law, Jack. He and I were really close. In April of 1999 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He passed away that September at the age of 38. I dedicated a blog post to him a few years ago, go here to read it. I can't retype it, I'll start crying (no really, I will).

My brother-in-law Jack "sweeping me off my feet" at his wedding in 1988 (I was a junior bridesmaid).

Okay, I can't leave today's post all sad like this, so I'm going to give you a edition of What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving...

These awesome gifts that my friends gave me!

My friend Laura made this box for me (she painted it in Rangers colors and put a Texas "T" on top.) She also got me some Rangers earrings. It's funny, I almost bought this exact pair at a game a few weeks ago but I decided to wait. I'm glad I did! :) 

I posted about this yesterday, but again, here is the Rangers cap Julie (pictured next to me), Laura, and Monica got me. I love it!

My friend Chris went to the Rangers game against the Astros in Houston a few weeks ago. The giveaway that night was a Nolan Ryan bobblehead (for those non baseball fans- Nolan played for the Astros before going to the Rangers). Chris was sweet enough to give me the one he got. Weehoo!

My friend Paul lives in Atlanta and mailed me this Braves program that has an article about Chipper Jones (my second baseball crush).

I'm loving...

The latest pictures of my great-nephews C and E. Their faces make any bad day I'm having so much better!!

I'm loving...

That only in Texas can a traffic jam be caused by cows on the highway.

I'm loving...

This picture of my best friend's little girl Miss E. She's wearing the Josh Hamilton shirt that Aunt Rachel got her for her birthday. I think I have created another Rangers fan (well, I'm going to do everything in my power to turn her into one). :)

I'm loving...

Funny stuff on Pinterest (shameless plug, follow me on Pinterest here.)

FYI, this is why I don't jog! ;)

Have a great day y'all!!
XOXO!
