I haven't done one of these in forever, so I am sure I can easily fill this post up. Here are a few things I am loving this rainy and cold Wednesday morning.
Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
Getting flowers from the boy for honestly no reason.
Tonight I will be attending my first hockey game of the season. Yes, the NHL is currently in a lockout but at least that doesn't mean the boyfriend won't have a season. Thank goodness for men's league hockey! I need a hockey fix, badly.
Finishing the One Tree Hill series. I am currently on Season 6 and I'm trucking my way through it on Netflix.
Fall themed candles.
Having three kinds of wine in my refrigerator. The boy couldn't decide on what kind to get so he got all three. In his words, "I figured we could have our own private wine tasting party."
Received a new People Puzzler for this hockey season. I spend a lot of time waiting for the boy before and after his games, so this baby gets me through it.
The Grand Valley State University football team. Little brother is on the team & I am so proud.
Hunkering down on rainy, cold days like this on the couch.
Bones has started back up with season 8. I am still smiling after its season premiere on Monday. So good!
Loving my family and friends who have made my life busy and extremely fun lately. Never a dull moment.
So what are you loving this Wednesday in September? I want know so maybe I can be talking about my new found love next week.
Today I am linking up with A Complete Waste of Make-Up for "Its Ok Thursday" in order to tell the world that it is okay that I am a complete weirdo. So here we go:
It's Okay...
... that I lugged my flowers into the engineering office yesterday because I spend more time at work than I do at home.
... that I have been rubbing the Detriot Red Wings 21 consective home wins in all other hockey fans' faces.
... that my boyfriend goes out of town tomorrow for the weekend and I am going to party it up with my girls in the meantime.
... that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and I am extremely cranky.
... that I spend 5 days a week at the ice rink to support the boyfriend who thought it was okay to join 2 different men's league hockey teams.
... that tonight I am planning on getting crafty while uncorking a new bottle of wine.
... to have a movie addiction that makes you crave at least one movie a night. Tonight's movie:
... to be learning how to cook at the age of 23.
... that I make a "to do" list EVERYDAY and don't feel complete until everything is crossed out.
... to miss your best girlfriend after spending the weekend with her in Ohio. ... to order Thai food for lunch so that my day turns around.
... to take a week off of painting my nails because I have been too lazy to do it.
... to be completely ready for it to be Friday. I have weekend fever!
What are you okay with this week? Anyone agree with my craziness above. Definitely let me know.

What are you favorite things right now? What are you reading/seeing/ loving? I want to know.
Hopefully this will also help out the boyfriend since he's headed downstate to a University of Michigan basketball game this weekend. I overheard him last night talking to the boys about hitting up the mall in Ann Arbor before the game to pick up "her Christmas presents." Since I was the only girl at the house last night, looks like he's talking about my presents! Guess we will have to wait and see.
So here is the dream list:
1. Marc Jacob's handbag
2. Kate Spade ring
3. OPI Nailpolish {best stocking stuffer ever}
4. Abercrombie Jeans {only brand that fits me perfectly}
5. Tom's shoes
5. Kate Spand Bangle
6. Black/Blue Blazer
7. 24/7 Penguins vs Capitals Season
8. "Every day is a great day for hockey" bracelet
What are you guys asking for? Make sure to link up your Christmas lists too, so I can scope them out.
More ideas how to wrap my gifts this year... Love!
This will be how my first apartment out of college will be decorated. Done deal.
Already looking into fabric to make this possible for New Year's Party this year. {Maybe even Christmas too!}
...So True!
What are you loving on Pinterest? I need to start following more of my blogging friends, so let me know where I can find your boards/pins. As for me... see more of what I love here.
After working a half day at work yesterday I decided to start rounding up a few things for the Christmas season that is fast approaching. I picked up some feathers, wrapping paper, and ribbon so I can decorate my presents like this:
Started working on a few little DIY presents for my family and friends. I have a best friend that is obsessed with scarfs, so why not personalize one with a few of our favorite quotes. Something said by Marilyn Monroe or maybe a line from the famous hockey speech in Miracle should work. Haven’t quite decided but thanks to Pinterest this is a perfect present.
This mug makes me laugh so hard, especially since my little sister is obsessed with mustaches. She is that person who takes strands of her hair and holds it under her nose and talks in an accent. Yeah, she is weird. So why not make this mug for her morning coffee? If it turns out I may make a few extra.
It was a good night for sports last night! Boyfriend won his hockey game in a shootout and he scored the winning goal. I was very proud… Also my other boyfriend, Tim Tebow, beat the Jets last night. Love love love. {Its okay that I have two boyfriends right?}
Another love of mine is Christina Perri’s “Thousand Years.” This song has been on repeat ever since it became a single on my iPod. It's truly amazing. I love that it is for Twilight… although I am not a huge Twilight fan, I really enjoyed the books and movies and cannot wait to see the movie later this weekend once all the die-hards have seen it. Haha. I would say “poor boyfriend that he has to be dragged along to watch Breaking Dawn with me” but one of our first dates was to New Moon forever ago, so it’s kind of tradition that we see the rest together. Cute, huh?
Lastly, I am loving my new red-bowed-leopard flats... Adding a little flare to the engineering office today.
What are you guys loving this fantastic Friday? I wanna know.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but college classes and my job are making it nearly impossible to do anything blog-related. I am on my computer for 10 hours a day making drawings and blueprints, so when I finally get done for the day I want nothing to do with a monitor and a mouse. But I thought I would take a break from the workday, as I sit here listening to the second Hunger Games book, Catching Fire, to talk about these books. Ahh, I am in love with this series. I got on the Twilight train too late to be in love with it and by that time everyone was obsessed, so it wasn't fun. Now with this book series I feel like one of the originals. I am now the one trying to get all my friends to read it and want people to talk about it with. As most of you probably know the trailer came out earlier this week and now I can't stop thinking about it. {Hence the reason I am re-reading/listening to the series again.} The books are phenominal.
Plus, this cast is gorgeous... Thank you Vanity Fair for doing a shoot with them.
Now this is a love triangle!
Anyone else obsessed with this Hunger Games series?
How about now after you've seen the trailer? Who's excited?!
