What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving...

That I got my craft closet organized last weekend. It was a DISASTER. After working on Trunk or Treat decorations throughout October, I let it get so disorganized. I bought a cube shelf from Target and spent about four hours getting it all organized last Saturday. Here's hoping I can keep it this way from now on.  My goal is to declutter and stay better organized in 2020.

The workout app FitOn. It's amazing. I've been using it for 24 straight weeks. I absolutely love it. It's free to download and all the videos are free- no hidden cost. They did just add a FitOn Pro option where you can pay to have a meal plan customized for you, but I'm just using it for the videos. And there are so many (and they keep adding new ones). They range from super easy to "OMG I want to die" hard- and there are 18 different trainers so you can workout for weeks and not get bored with the same trainer. In the past I've become bored with workout videos because it was the same person every day (and a lot of times the same workouts). They also added a section called Before Bed where it has 2-3 minutes videos of stretches to do before you go to sleep. I HIGHLY recommend this app.

After each workout, it gives you the option to take a photo (it saves it in the app, it only shares it if you want it shared). It can help show the progress you are making. Or just remind you that you did the workout and didn't die. Lol

That I saw my first musical of the year last night. My friend Rob had an extra ticket to the production of The Color Purple at the Winspear Opera House. This was my first time seeing it and the cast was AMAZING. I can't image another cast topping their performance. If you are in Dallas, go see it. I think it's here through early next week.

I'm loving...

That I completed my GoodReads book challenge last year. In years past, I've fallen short (way short). I actually started my 2019 challenge at 30 books, and I met that in early October, so I bumped it up to 40 books. I finished book number 40 on Dec. 31, but I got it done. This year my goal is to read/listen to 45 books. I just started book 5 yesterday. Speaking of books, I know I'm behind on my book reviews on here. I'll try to start doing those for this year (I won't go back the last few years and post any older ones though). I DO keep my reviews up to date on GoodReads if you would like to add me there.

My new Steve Avery Braves shirtsey. My friend Paul lives in Atlanta and found this at the new Braves ballpark, so he sent it to me. If you are new to my blog, YES, he is the Avery behind my screen name on my blog, Twitter, and Instagram.

I'm also loving that Steve Avery commented on my picture when I posted it on Facebook. :)

That I got to have lunch and go antique shopping with my folks last weekend. They were in town visiting my aunt (my dad's sister), so I met them for lunch one afternoon. We then went to a few antique shops in Waxahachie. It was a lot of fun!

My dad is so adorable in his hat

They had some cool hats at this one shop, but I didn't get one. I almost got this one, I thought it was cute

If this had been an Elvis purse, I would have bought it. But it was a CD holder, and the material wasn't that nice. Maybe it's for the best. Lol

I've seen way too many scary movies- this doll was SO CREEPY. I kept expecting it to turn its head and look at me. I would hate to be in this store at night by myself

I'm loving...

That I went to see the musical Finding Neverland last Friday night. It was AMAZING!! I noticed actor John Davidson's name in the program (he was in several Disney movies I watched as a kid. He also was a game show host for a while). He's a fantastic actor. After the musical, my friend and I went to the stage door and Mr. Davidson was nice enough to sign our programs and take pictures. 

Outside the Winspear Opera House

My friend Mel and I have seen so many musicals/plays together. 

My friend Beks saw on Facebook that I was there and came over to say hi!

Actor John Davidson- such a honor and pleasure to meet him!

I'm loving...

That I cleaned out my closets last Saturday. I spent about about 9 hours cleaning my apartment and was able to donate all of this to the Salvation Army. I'm slowly getting rid of the clutter!

I've been so caught up in recapping my cruise that it's been a while since I've posted something "non vacation" related.

To those who also do What I'm Loving Wednesday posts, I will continue to do the link up for the people who want to participate! I hope to get back to my weekly WILW link ups!

I'm loving...

That I got to attend my niece's birthday celebration last month. She and I are close in age, so we've been more like sisters our whole lives. We went to Painting With a Twist. I don't think I missed my calling to be an artist, but it was a lot of fun!

My lovely niece!

I'm loving...

That I've been able to hang out with some of my amazing friends over the past few weeks.

I'm loving...

The Valentine my friends Misti and Larry got me- they know me so well! :)

I'm loving...

That I was able to watch my neighbor's dog Holly last weekend while she was out of town. I'm super sad that they are moving soon, I will miss them. :(

Holly got me a gift certificate for a manicure as a Valentine's Day gift!

I'm loving...

That I got to meet comedian Jason Earls last week. He's hilarious. You can check him out here.

I'm loving...

That I got to see my bestie Brandy last week. I don't sit two hours in rush hour traffic for just anyone, but when I do, it's to hang out with her!

I'm loving...

That I was able to see Theatre Arlington's production of School of Rock on Sunday- it was amazing! If you are in the area, there are performances this weekend and next weekend. Click here for more info. My friend's son just happens to have the lead in it- he was fantastic!

The star's proud momma is in front there! :)

I'm loving...

That I've already read seven books in my reading challenge. Hopefully I can actually finish the challenge this year, I have failed the past two years. Oh shameless plug, follow me on GoodReads here.

I'm loving...

That modern technology allows my BFF to "go shopping" with me even though she's hundreds of miles away. I texted her on my shopping trip last weekend to get her opinion on some outfits. 

I was concerned these shorts were too short. After wearing them the other day, I think I was right!

I actually asked some friends on Twitter about this outfit as well. I wanted to make sure the pants and top went well together (I have no sense of style). Lol

I'm loving...

That I saw my second musical in a month! I saw Ragtime with my friends Aaron and Mel last weekend. We plan to see another musical in June!

The three amigos! 

Dallas Summer Musicals at Fair Park. As you can tell, I bought the outfit pictured above. Lol

Aaron bought me this bobblehead and shot glass for my birthday. My nickname is Wonder Woman, so she's obviously one of my favorite superheroes. :)

I'm loving...

That I drove 200 miles to get a Nolan Ryan bobblehead. I could lie and say I just wanted to see a minor league baseball game, but y'all know me too well. I went to Round Rock on Saturday to see an Express baseball game (the Rangers AAA team). I stopped in Waco and picked up my Bubba and his family (minus his oldest son who had to work). I always love seeing a game with my Bubba (he's the reason I love baseball). :)

Gates opened at 5:30. This was the line to get in by 5:10. By the time the gates opened, the line went around the parking lot. I wasn't the only one who wanted a bobblehead!

The newest addition to my bobblehead collection. And yes, Whataburger sponsored the giveaway (this bobblehead was made for me). :)

On the wall at Dell Diamond

I've been to several minor league ballparks and Dell Diamond is one of the nicest

Our view for the game. We paid close attention since there was no net in front of us

My sweet nephew A. I think he had a lot of fun.

Me and my Bubba (and A photobombing us)

My beautiful niece Ashlyn

I love the shoes my friends got me for my birthday. I sent this snap out after the game was over on Saturday (shameless plug, I'm averyfan on Snapchat if you want to follow me)

I'm loving...

That I got to hang out with my friends Laura and Rich on Monday. They live in Oklahoma so I don't see them as often as I would like. Their boys C and O are ADORABLE!!

I wanted to put O in my purse so I could take him home with me, but I figured they would notice he was missing

I hadn't seen C in so long, he's gotten so big!

Me and Rich- he is a top-notch friend

We spent the day at Laura's folks house lounging by the pool

My beautiful friend Laura!

This is C's new puppy. I also wanted to put her in my purse and take her home with me. She was so cuddly!! 

I'm loving...

That Yu Darvish is back with the Rangers. He had surgery last year that kept him out all season and part of this season. He pitched on Saturday and did an amazing job. I hope to see him pitch in person on Friday at the Ballpark!

I'm loving...

That I have TWO trips planned for this summer (so far). I'm so excited!
