current obsessions: October

Hey folks! I promise to [try to] be back later this evening with a Tuesday readings post. As I discussed yesterday, I've been so busy with so many things my reading got away from me this week. And yesterday we had some students visit the office and I didn't get home till after 8, then we didn't finish dinner till after 9 and I was asleep around 10 and it just slipped my mind.

Anyway...here's what I've been loving this October...

• Fall - cider & doughnuts with my hubby @ Fuhrman's
• Salted caramel mochas from Starbucks
• New nail polishes thanks to Joy the Baker!
• New projects! I'm currently working on some design projects for a friend - living room, dining room, family room, basement and laundry room makeovers! Can't wait to share the before and afters!
• These chocolate cupcakes. Ah-may-zing.
• Halloween times means MONSTER CEREALS ARE BACK. Count Chocula has been a favorite of mine (and Josh's) since I was little. I don't care how old I am, it always will be!
• Not having a cracked iPhone screen. YES!!!  
• Boots and scarves! Actually, I haven't broken out my boots yet - they are too "snowy" - I need some nice fall short boots...I think I hear Marshall's calling me...
• My adorable niece learning new words! She can say both "Josh" and "Amy" and she seems to LOVE saying Josh! We watched her at our townhouse the other day and she just kept pointing at him and saying his name! She also was loving watching stuff on the big TV and kept saying "Whoa!!!!" whenever anything crazy was on the screen.

 

What are you currently loving?

current obsessions: September

• Macintosh apples! That's right baby - I love when my faves go back in season!
• Even cooler temps than August! I've even brought my slippers out on a few occasions!
• Family time - we've seen Josh's family two weekends in a row! I've enjoyed spending time with them. I've also been visiting my parents on the weekends, and it's been fun catching up.
• New shows back on! FRINGE was back this past Friday and this past weekend our favorite cartoons were back up (American Dad, Family Guy, The Simpsons).
• Leaves changing - I love this time of year! Hopefully I'll be able to get out with Josh to take a walk with all the leaves changing!
• WINNING! I've been winning a lot of things this month...nail polish from Joy the Baker (okay, so that was in August but I'm still waiting on the package so it gets thrown into this month too), dress from Shabby Apple via Michelle's giveaway (hoping to get it this week!) and a new office chair from our rep group KMA & Associates in Pittsburgh!

(Dress JUST came in! YAY!)

Side Note: I can't believe September is almost over!!! It feels like just yesterday I was posting about how I couldn't believe it was September 1 and now we're in the last week of it!! Craziness. Holidays will be here before you know it!!!!

current obsessions: August

Things I'm digging this month:

• cooler temps
• weekend getaways with my hubby Josh
• celebrating our 1 year anniversary!
• taking our cars in to the shop to get fixed (Just kidding, I'm hating this actually. It seems to be happening a lot this month and I don't like it!)
• homemade pulled pork sammiches with homemade barbeque sauce
• foursquare
• Pinterest - of course! But here's my question - do you mostly re-pin other people's pins, or do you pin from websites, blogs, shops, etc. that you frequent?
• my new KnollTextiles CATO PINK nail polish 
• barefoot contessa's California BLT sandwiches (post coming later this week)

current obsessions: July

July obsessions + loves:

• ice cream inspired nail polish colors (reminds me of mint ice cream)
• hand-me-down patio chairs + table thanks to my aunt & uncle 
• a tomato plant full of (hopefully delicious) still growing green tomatoes!
• out of town friends visiting
• wedding anniversary trip searching/planning
• peep-toe wedges (still looking for a pair to buy...)
• a beautifully growing basil plant! (I killed our first two...) 

current obsessions: June

I thought this might be a fun new "series" to post - what I'm loving, obsessing over, craving, etc - monthly post.

Here are my current (JUNE) obsessions + loves:

• new DEATH CAB cd - Codes and Keys
• spiked orangle creamsicle smoothies
• our new red chairs (though I should probably finish up the four in the basement...)
• olioboard (you can view my profile + boards here)
• the first buds on our tomato plant
• thrift stores (more on that later)
• freshly cut flowers on our tabletop
• rearranging our kitchen (okay, this is probably an ongoing obsession)
