I'm so glad that I have Jodi helping me with this blog hop because I totally lost track of this week and almost forgot to do a What I'm Loving Wednesday post. This week had been CRAZY at work (I'll spare you the gory details). But alas, here I am! 

I'm loving...
That my book club was finally able to meet last night. We had to cancel last week due to the "ice storm". We only had four ladies who were able to make it, but we had a blast. I met a few new people this week, I'm really glad that I joined this club. Last month we read What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. I will do a book review eventually on here (spoiler alert: I liked it!) I'm behind on posting some of my book reviews. Okay, a lot of my book reviews, don't judge! :)

I'm loving...

That Jimmy Kimmel replied to a tweet of mine last week. And he also "favorited" my tweet about my fan girl crush on him. It's true. I don't know how long I've had it, but I totally fan girl over Jimmy Kimmel. It's almost embarrassing. Haha. I wonder if I will ever grow out of this fan girl stage I seem to be stuck in. Lol.

I'm loving...
That this sweet comment on Facebook from a friend of mine totally made my week. Like I said last week, a kind word can go a long ways. Thank you Jay! :)

I'm loving...

That we are supposed to get sleet and ice starting this afternoon and it will continue into tomorrow morning. Okay, I'm not really loving that. But if we get a delayed start at work tomorrow, I will love THAT! Lol. :) My weather app is toying with my emotions saying that we might hit 70 degrees next week. I'll believe it when I see it (feel it?) I'm so ready for spring.

I'm loving...

That Fox Sports Southwest has asked two of my questions during the Rangers Twitterviews at Spring Training. (For those who don't know, I am "Averyfan"). I'm so ready for baseball!

I'm loving...

That I got two free days off work this week (thankfully my company pays us when the office is closed, we don't have to use our personal time). My work decided Monday night to close Tuesday as well. I think they mainly closed because all the school districts in the area were going to be closed again (so they figured employees with kids would need to stay home). The ice on the roads was pretty much melted by late Tuesday morning (when temperatures got above freezing) and by that evening they were almost dry (at least over near where I live). My company texted that we will be open for regular business hours today. As nice as the time off has been, I'm ready to get back to the office (I can't believe I'm saying that). I am going to be crazy busy trying to catch up.

I'm loving...

That Dr Pepper replied to my tweet. Now, if they only knew who Mordecai really was- lol! :)

For you new readers, this is Mordecai

I'm loving...

That I started a Lois and Clark marathon today. As I mentioned last week, Dean Cain is appearing at the Dallas Comic Con, so my friend B and I got tickets in hopes of meeting him. Yes, I'm not (too) ashamed to admit that. Lol. I love watching TV shows from the early 90s. No smart phones (really, no cell phones at all), no internet, interesting wardrobe choices. Ah- I remember that life. Lol.

I'm loving... That I started listening to classical music again. I used to listen to it all the time. I've found that listening to it while reading is very relaxing. :)

Little known fun fact: I can play this piece (Fur Elise) on the piano

I'm loving... All the tweets in my Twitter timeline from Rangers Spring Training. Baseball is just around the corner- I cannot wait!! :)
Happy Wednesday y'all!! Be sure to link up below!

XOXO!

An Icy Mobile Monday!

So, I'm sitting at home today because north Texas is paralyzed by a huge ice storm. Okay, it wasn't really a huge ice storm, and as of right now, we are not really "paralyzed" (but I'm still not leaving the comfort of my 70 degree apartment). We maybe got about an inch or two of ice (if that), BUT, in the state of Texas, if you say the "i" word (ice) or the "s" word (which could be sleet or snow), we all start going like this...

...because we can't handle it. No seriously, we can't. I know, all of you who live up north are laughing at us. And you know what, that is okay. Because I don't want to live someplace where cold is normal. Or where 27 degrees (above freezing) isn't consider an "Arctic Blast". I also don't think I want to live in a place where the threat of ice/sleet/snow doesn't cause school and work closures. 

It's true...

Last night before it even started sleeting, most school districts were canceling classes for today because of the threat of sleet and ice throughout the night and the early part of today. My boss texted me a little before 8:00 last night saying our offices were going to be closed. We rarely close for bad weather, so I was super excited. In fact, this was me after I got the text...

I thought I would take a break from my day long Murdoch Mysteries marathon and do a quick Mobile Monday update (again, I don't think this is a link up anymore, but I'm using the idea).

Laugh all you want, but I've spent the day in my warm, comfy bed (complete with flannel sheets), drinking hot tea, and streaming TV shows on my laptop. :)

I met up with the BFF on Saturday (back when it was a balmy 60 degrees) for some MUCH NEEDED girl time (we haven't been able to hang out, just the two of us, in I don't know how long). We had lunch at this great pizza place called Campania. I had never been there before (so I can add that to my 101 in 1001 list as the 7th restaurant that I had never been to.) We spent a few hours there talking then headed over to Barnes & Noble (because why wouldn't we?) I was strong and didn't buy anything. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I managed to walk out of there book-free. It was a miracle. Lol.

BFFs!

I forgot to post this last week. My sweet manager gave all of us daisies (which so happens to be my favorite flower). This was during that bad week I had, so it made me feel a lot better! :)

Sometimes a friend will send you a message that is just the reminder you needed to hear. My sweet friend Christie sent me this the other day. I definitely needed to read it!

My niece Rebecca texted me this picture of her son, J, earlier today. My sweet boy is growing up so fast, I haven't seen him in so long! Those cheeks are just begging for kisses from Aunt Rachel!

See- these are the last pictures I have with him. I definitely need a trip to see him. He's getting so big! He won't even know me.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday! :) Stay warm and safe, wherever you live! :)

XOXO!!
