Goodbye, Winter!

It seems that winter is still clinging to the Southeast. I know it's still February, and this is normal. I'm just so ready for Spring. For budding flowers and trees, light jackets and pretty dresses, flip flops and long walks outside, warm winds and sunshine.

In an order to brighten my own mood and hopefully your's at the same time, here are a few of my favorite things that I'm happy about today.

~ Sunshine. It might be cold but at least the sun is out.

~ the Hubs' best friend coming to visit.

~ Upcoming weekend vacations

~ 5 Hour Energy Drink

~ Awesome co-workers

~ Bailey. She makes everyday a happy day.

~ Manicures and pedicures

~ Lipstick. I'm learning to wear it and love it.

Green Catalogs

I was thrilled to open my work email this morning and see this lil bit of info. Catalog Choice is a great, green way to cut back on paper waste. Some awesome (Anthropologie to name one) companies are working with Catalog Choice to lower some of the excess in catalogs that go to your mailbox every year. I know that I love looking at a catalog as much as the next person, but really when I can see the same thing online - is it neccesary? For me, it's not.

It's Valentine's Weekend people, show the earth a lil love too.

Horrible Wifey Blogger

I know...I know! A whole week between blogs is soo not acceptable. In my defense, I've been sick. Like can't get off the couch, my head is going to blow off sick aka migraine. Life sucked. In other life sucks news, our NYC trip has been canceled. Thanks to the weather and the Army, we are being forced to reschedule for a later date. Oh well as with anything in this military life, we roll with the punches and keep plans flexible.

In happy news, this week I discovered this blog! CheapChicas is pretty much the greatest thing ever! A blog dedicated to style with all items under $100...Why did I not know about this in college? Go check her out! I've already found several pieces to buy.

Happy Wednesday...We made it half way through! ;)

Puppy Love and French Cooking

Tonight I discovered the joy that is puppy love! Those big sweet brown eyes were almost too much to resist. No worries ya'll the Hubs will be fine with it when he finds out. You see I am the object of Nenus' affection. Nenus, by the way, is a very, sweet, and loveable dog that just happens to think that I'm the bees knees. Be jealous! 

My dear friend J and I watched Julie & Julia tonight. I'm usually not much of a chick flick type girl but I loved this movie. It was cute and inspiring. It also made me want to head to the nearest book store, grab Julia Child's cookbook and start cooking all kinds of deliciousness. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you should! I promise it's good.
