Some latest faves, in no particular order:
1. My new running playlist, most especially, Celine Dion's cover of River Deep, Mountain High (a Tina Turner original, fyi). It totally gets my energy UP!
2. Lenny's Sub Shop. Okay, so I really can't eat at Subway. Too much of it living in Newark (because Newark had too few options). And besides, there are sub shops and then there are Sub Shops. And while Lenny's is no Capriatis (bar none best sandwich ever...the Capistrami...you must trust me on this), it is a great deal better than some other places I know of. And so, I am loving Lenny's right now. (And I'm kind of also jonesing for a Holland Tunnel at Gandolfo's in the UT...maybe if I'm lucky enough, this summer...I hope!)
3. Running. No lie. I seriously want to go. Because today, I got up, and looked at the weather. It was only 7 a.m. and 72 degrees outside, which of course does not bode well for the rest of the day. I mean, it can get hot up in these parts! So I didn't attempt to go back to bed. This is me, people. I, yours truly, did not attempt to go back to bed at 7 a.m. Instead I got on my running shoes and headed out the door. Because as much as I am loving this running thing (okay, jogging...let's call it jogging), I do not enjoy jogging in 80+ degree temps. And those temps will be coming soon enough.
4. I get to jog outside. Seriously, I can't get over it sometimes after living in Newark. And today I want to this really beautiful park and it smelled heavenly. Like lilacs. Which always reminds me of my lovely Grandma Andrus who always had a lilac bush in her yard. My grandma, of course, is always a good memory.
5. Nat the Fat Rat's blog. I can't get enough of this girl. She's so funny...and insightful. Mostly her blot is just a delight to read. Check her out at natthefatrat.com. It's awesome!
6. My hairdo...and, by extension (no pun intended), Bethany at Bel Fiore. The color, the cut. I'm over three weeks in, and I'm barely noticing roots. Love it! Can't wait to go back to her :)!
7. How green it is out. It's super lush right now. In fact, it's giving me the Europe vibe. Have you ever been in Europe on a train in the summer? Maybe it's nice and early in the morning, and the sun is just coming up and there may be mist left over from the rain last night. (Is it just me or does it rain a lot over in those parts?) And it's just green and ripe and perfect. You just stare out the window and wonder at creation in all its gloriousness. Oh to be in Europe. But it's pretty green here.
8. Speaking of nature, the flowers are in bloom. Pink and yellow and purple everywhere. TXas is famous for it's blue bonnets, and I know why. They sure are lovely!
9. Cadbury Mini Eggs. You know the little chocolate pieces of heavenly delightsomeness that only come out for Easter. And it is a good thing, too, because I could barrel through two or three bags of those a week with my hands tied behind my back. And even though I sometimes get this yen for them in December, I'm sure glad that the temptation is only around for a short-lived Easter season.
10. Word ladders on sporcle.com. Have you gone there? Go there and take some quizzes and play word ladder. I love them! And speaking of word games, webcrosswords.com and usatoday.com are my two fave spots for crosswords. I seriously love word games. I'm a big NERD!
