What I'm Loving..

Link up with Jaime

 

1. I'm loving that I mustered up the nerve to walk across the street to meet my new across the street neighbors. And that they seem very, very nice.

 

2. I'm loving The Story. I'm only two chapters in and I can't say I understand all of it (the Old Testament is hard to relate to), but I find its easier for me to want to keep reading in this format. My sweet cubie gave it to me as a belated birthday present.

 

3. I'm loving being able to help out at our local humane society. I spent two and a half hours today folding and taping mail-out flyers and enjoyed myself. I helped out at the adoption event this last weekend and had a blast promoting the great dogs available for adoption.

 

 

4. I'm loving that there is rain in the forecast. Please Lord let it rain!

 

5. I'm loving that it's ok to let the chores go for one day.

 

6. And I'm loving that I can go to bed as early (or late as I want). Tonight will be an early, early evening because I didn't sleep well last night and I'm worn out. Good night!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Link up to WILW over at Jamie's blog.

1. Romance novels. My love of romance novels is no secret. Since I'm patiently waiting for the next J.R. Ward book to come out and Tara Janzen just finished up her Crazy/Loose series..I'm a little at a loss at what to read right now. I know there has to be some great books out there I haven't read, the problem with romance novels is that there are PLENTY of bad ones out there too. Any suggestions, y'all?

2. This here fan-dangled laptop. This is the first laptop we have ever owned and so far I am in LOVE with it. It's already helped with my writers block. I don't really know where the whole 'book writing' thing is going to go, if anywhere, but it's nice to have the urge to get a scene out of my head and into a word document. It's been a while.

3. Vacation time. By the end of every year my paid time off is all but non-existent (not that there is ever any vacation time available to take from Thanksgiving to Christmas anyways). So at the start of a new year its nice to have all my paid time off back to squander as I see fit. Next mini-vacation? This weekend! We're headed to Austin for four days to visit friends and family. There will be music, there will be sunshine, there will be doggy cuddling, there will be shopping, and there will be entertainment provided by two very adorable little boys.
