What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm loving...

That my Rangers are AL West Champions for the second year in a row. They (finally) clinched the division on Friday night. And yes, I went out and bought a shirt the next day. One can never have too many Rangers shirts. I will not confirm or deny that I changed in the parking lot. 

I'm loving...

That I was able to give Santa my wish list a little early this year, I ran into him at a Rangers game last week.

He laughed when I told him I had been a good girl this year- I wonder if I should be worried?

I'm loving...

That I discovered a new place to eat- Sweet Tomatoes. A few coworkers and I went there last week (and then again yesterday). The food is good and actually pretty healthy. If you know me, you know I'm not a big soup person, BUT I discovered two soups that I actually enjoyed- potato and broccoli and a 7 vegetable soup. My friends were shocked that I branched out of my food comfort zone. Lol.

Proof that I tried the soup. :)

I'm loving...

That I'm trying out new recipes at home. With the exception of eating out for lunch yesterday, I've been bringing my lunch and cooking supper at home. I tried out a recipe for cauliflower rice and it's a new favorite of mine. I've made it twice this week. I use a cheese grater (that I just bought) against the cauliflower and then cook it in a frying pan (with some olive oil). It is so good (I'm a big fan of cauliflower).

THAT I GOT MY PASSPORT!! FINALLY! I'm free to move about the world!

I'm loving...

That I'm making time to read again. I FINALLY finished The Girl on The Train. It was good (I'll review it soon), I just didn't have time didn't make time to read over the past few months. I started a paperback mystery this week. I'm almost done with it.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving...

That I get to see my folks this weekend. Today is their 60th wedding anniversary! We are having a party this weekend for them- I'm looking forward to family time!

I'm loving...

That I was able to organize my craft closet last weekend. Sunday was my first day off after working 14 straight days, and instead of taking a nap, I spent the afternoon cleaning out and organizing a craft closet. Lol.

I went to Michael's to buy ONE picture frame, and ended up with all of this. Lol

I'm loving...

This podcast: The Babysitters Club Club. No, that's not a typo, that's the name. A friend of mine told me about it- I just started listening last week and am already on episode 15 (I think there are 23 episodes so far). These two 30-something year old guys read a book each week from The Babysitters Club series and then discuss it. It's hysterical, especially if you are like me and read the books when you were younger. Warning: They do cuss a little, so it's not for young ears.

I'm loving...

That I got to meet Rayvon Owen last week. I'll be honest, I don't watch American Idol so I had no clue who he was, but after hearing him sing, I'm a new fan. He has a great voice. I went up to tell him that and he was kind enough to take a picture with me. Sorry it's a little blurry.

I'm loving...

That I was able to thank some of Dallas PD's finest last week. I went up and told them I wanted to give them a hug and they gladly accepted one. I thanked them for all they do and for keeping us safe. 

I'm loving...

My new soap dispenser. Stop laughing at me, yes I'm really loving it. It's a no-touch dispenser, so when you hold your hand out, the soap automatically comes out. I use it in my kitchen. It's great! 

I'm loving...

That I'm finally going on a cruise!! It's not until January, but I bought my ticket last week. I'll be going with one of my sisters and our parents. This means I FINALLY have to get my passport. Lol. Even though the cruise isn't until next year, I'm counting it as part of my 101 in 1001 list because I've bought my ticket and I only have two months to finish this list. Lol. So 101 in 1001 update: 7. Take a cruise.
