What I'm Loving Wednesday

Hey! Guess what happened yesterday... I woke up early, and decided to make a Pinteresting Wednesday post. I posted it, then kept wondering why no one else had posted theirs yet. I went on all day wondering this... until after 12, when I realized it was Tuesday.

Yeah.... I was looking forward to Wednesday.

First off, I'm loving that it's finally Wednesday! I don't have to go in until 10 today, so I have plenty of time to get up and go for a run, and do my morning internet browsing. Also, my favorite pharmacist co-worker returns from vacation today. My work days are always better when she is there. And finally, I only have two more work days until my 3-day weekend starts!

I am very attached to my Nike Frees. We've been together since the beginning. But I know that they don't have any support or cushioning, which I will be needing at some point when I decide to start training for my next half marathon.  I'm not completely breaking up with my Frees, but... I'm going to start seeing other shoes. These shoes.

These are the Mizuno Wave Rider Elixer 7, I'm pretty sure. They feel very lightweight and have a low heel drop while still offering more support and cushioning than Nike Frees- which is exactly what I wanted. Plus, they look freakin' cool and are purple. That is probably most important.


I don't even want to begin thinking about how many Starburst jellybeans I have eaten since the Easter candy came out about a month ago. But they are amazing, and have made it to the list of my favorite candy ever. (Also on the list are Reese's and Kit-Kats, and that's it, because I don't eat a ton of candy, usually.)

I'm loving my little Anniston Ruth, because she is so much fun all the time. I've especially been loving when I get to read to her, because you can tell that she is interested and somewhat curious. But really, she is more interested in what the book tastes like than what it says. I also love singing to her and getting to rock her to sleep. Oh, and every single time she laughs or smiles at me.

PInteresting Wednesday!

This is absolutely what I was thinking when reading the book... "I need to work out more so that I could survive something like this"

After my workouts, I might just make some yummy treats like this with my Vitamix.

And finally, I must remember this when dealing with a certain someone. I am an awesome person, and if you don't get that..... I'll survive.

Actually, I'd like to end on a happy note, because I am a happy person, so here:

My Baby Niece

This gorgeous weather has had me itching to get Anniston out for some pictures with natural light.

 She isn't quite sitting up on her own yet, so my Mom had a bit of a time making sure she didn't topple over! We had fun, and Anniston seemed amazed at everything there was to see!

She definitely tried to eat a flower. I guess she wasn't really trying to eat it, just trying to put it in her mouth- which is where everything she gets her hands on goes these days!

She's always been fun, but lately- seeing her is the highlight of my days, even weeks. She smiles, laughs, squeals, and her eyes light up when I sing to her. When I rock her to sleep she plays with my hands and fingers and snuggles her face into my neck. She is so sweet, and so happy (and I don't want to brag, but let's face it- so beautiful)- being her aunt is definitely one of the best things in my life.

Fill In The Blank Friday

I'm linking up with Lauren @ The Little Things We Do for Fill in the Blank Friday!

1.  The highlight of my week was   hanging out with my beautiful baby niece... she just warms my heart with happiness!

2.   If I had to classify my interior design aesthetic it would be   so fresh and so clean (clean). No really- I do like a nice, "fresh" look, but mixed with a bit of coziness. Definitely not too traditional, but not completely modern either. Clear as mud, right?

3.  My first vehicle was   a white Chevrolet Cavalier. It was so cute, I miss it a little bit.

4. An item I need to have in my day in order to function is  lots and lots of beverages. Sometimes I don't have time to eat at work, but I must have a caffeinated beverage, and plenty of water!

5. My favorite way to waste time is  playing on the internet. I can waste so much time... reading Google reader, checking Twitter, playing on Pinterest, shopping (or filling my cart with things I want but will most likely not buy).

6. Right now I could really go for   some good health. I'm tired of being sick. This is like the third or fourth time this winter I've had a really bad cold (sniffles, stuffy nose, terrible cough). I'm usually not this sickly. 

7.  This weekend I will be   heading to Little Rock, AR baby! Brandon and I are running our first 10k ever (probably actually be jogging, to prevent ourselves from having a really cool coughing attack) and we get to meet Bart Yasso!
