HIMYM and Les Mis? Yes Please!

Sunday Social: A Few Of My Favorite Things

Linking up with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup




What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Hands down mint chocolate chip! But it has to be good chocolate - otherwise it's all weird and gets stuck in your teeth. Maybe it's the good quality ice cream that makes a difference? Hmmmm.

What is your favorite smell?
The way DH smells when he hugs me. Fresh cut grass. Vine ripened tomatoes. 

What is your favorite TV commercial? (Past or Present)
There was a Krave commerical that made me laugh to the point of not breathing but I can't find a link for but the empty Krave cereal pieces jumped out with little headdresses and spears and chased down the chocolate. It reminded me of the pygmy mummies in The Mummy Returns.

What is your favorite day of the week?
Saturday would win out. By Friday night I'm worn out so we usually do dates on Saturday. Sundays are church and running and grocery shopping. Definitely Saturday.

What is your favorite way to waste time?
Reading and Reddit

What is your favorite article of clothing? (Feel free to show a picture)
My flat brown boots.  

I've Gone and Disappeared Again

Oh chickens, I up and went AWOL again. Sorry bloggy friends!

I'm mentally exhausted lately. I come home from work and want to do nothing but veg out and cuddle with DH and Henry. They tell me it's winter here in Texas. In fact, it's almost Christmas. What? In this weather? With flip flops still able to be worn? And a perpetual state of bland green and brown everywhere.

We have a tree. Henry has unwrapped anything that comes close to being placed underneath it. We may have to buy him a ficus once we take down the Christmas tree. If I could figure out how to post video from my iPhone, I would. On a Henry-related note he had to have minor surgery on his paw for an infection. I felt like the worst fur mama ever when we found out he was sick. I guess he forgave me since he curled up with my last night for a 20 minute belly rub. We're pretty sure he's part dog.

DH and I are recommitted to the gym machine lately. Today I bench-pressed for the first time ever. I thought I might die but I didn't. I also tried a pilates-yoga blend class and was a little amazed at how good I did. My upper body strength was a wimpy little thing but it's slowly getting to be Arnold-sized.

We're getting closer and closer to the wedding. Only a handful of months to go. We still have to make centerpieces, bouquets, set up the rehearsal dinner, make welcome bags, I need to find shoes and then decide whether the price is worth the heel height versus the cost of hemming a wedding dress (yikes on the hemming prices and why in the world are there no cute comfortable wedge heels that don't cost as much as my dress?), figure out how the heck we're getting between venue and hotel, make a packing list for the honeymoon and start looking for bargains, find someone to do my hair and make-up and clutch what's left of my sanity.

Tonight I'm watching old school Grey's Anatomy because somehow this makes my day better. I'm not sure why. But it does.
