I’ve never understood people who say they can’t buy something for themselves without feeling guilty. While I do tend to get caught up in the routine of life, it doesn’t take long before my inner Veruca Salt starts clearing her throat.
For someone who’s a cheap ass bargain hunter when it comes to most things, over the last few weeks, I’ve started to see things a little differently…hence paying $2 for ONE freaking persimmon! 😉 I mean, you only live once right? And you sure as heck can’t take the money with you when your dead! So I might as well get myself that goose and fry up some golden eggs…or uh, something like that! 😉
Which is probably why I decided it was a good idea to buy all my friends “party accessories” before our campfire last weekend and force them all to look as nerdy as me all night!
Glow stick duck face FTW!
Or why, after logging in to Open Sky JUST to change my email preferences, I ended up pausing for half a second to notice the words “$40 credit” floating up at the top of the screen…and then proceeding to spend $50!
But c’mon, these tanks KICK ASS, no?
Or why, while shopping for the besties birthday present last weekend, I decided to add yet ANOTHER bottle to my ever-growing collection.
With this label? How could I not?!
Or why, since hanging out with my music soul mate more, I’ve gotten a little trigger clicker happy when it comes to indulging in my newest addiction…
Remix ALL THE SONGS!
And of course, what would all that fun be without sharing a little? It’s been on my workout playlist for months but this…
Granted, self-pampering doesn’t always have to come with a price tag. I’ve been having my fair share of FREE fun too…sleeping in until 11am, indulging in a little afternoon run in the rain, spending hours at the library, or giving myself a little pedicure…and that was all last Sunday!
Big thanks to Amanda for hosting my favorite Thursday’s linkup and for giving me a good way to mix things up from my usual randomness! Be sure to hop on over to Spoons and check out all the other random thoughts going on today!
What was the last treat you bought for yourself?
What was the last FREE thing you did for yourself?
Ok, so wasn’t I JUST lamenting over the fact that we’re halfway through June? Now it’s the last day of the month?! What gives? Is there something in the water? Am I in Narnia? Or more importantly, do I get a pet lion and a magical horn and a date with James McAvoy to stay young and fresh and wrinkle-free forever!?
Though I can’t say I’d be that disappointed if, years from now, when I’m old and gray (and still damn good-looking) you can still trace my laugh lines! 🙂
But enough with introductions and fantasies of dating half goat men, I do believe we have a “Currently” post to attend to, don’t we? This is of course one of my favorite things about blogging!
Current Book:
I have made it tooooooo….the SECOND book in the Bride Quartet series…actually I’ve been there for weeks now. I seriously “flew” through the first book (what with all those flight delays…haha, get it?), but lately work has been FAR too busy to sit for more than five minutes and when it comes to those beloved walks in the park? Well, I’ve kinda sorta been sleeping through my “allotted” workout times. Whoops?
Current Music:
Ha, what did you THINK I meant with that post title?! Get yo’ minds outta the gutter, people! 😛 Seriously though, I’ve been mad crushing on these guys for months now, but after getting my music soulmate hooked on them, I’ve only rekindled the love…and? I just bought tickets to see them at Loufest come September! Now, which underwear should I take to throw on stage? 😉
Current Guilty Pleasure:
For a person who used to SWEAR that she didn’t like chewing gum and could only handle one piece a day, over the last month or so, I seem to have developed jaws of steel…and an addiction to any new and flashy flavors from Ice Breakers. Oh and I have my six month checkup with the dentist next week…ha!
Current Nail Color:
While I haven’t tried chopping any of my digits off this month, I’ve yet to get my nails to look like anything but nubby ends since coming back from Blend…the altitude pretty much sucked my will to live! Please I haven’t aged myself too much with that movie reference!
Current Entertainment:
Still loving me some Game of Thrones…especially since the bestie got me the hookup on HBOGo! I am now carefully spreading out the last of the few episodes I have of the fourth season because I’m just not ready to let it go for a full freaking YEAR!
Current Wish/Needs:
For it to be summer FOREVERRRRR!
Current Food:
While I hate to announce that I am now hoarding my last bottle of Fairlife milk, the cereal-addiction is in full force…especially since I’ve rediscovered one of my hidden talents. Just call me Cer[eal] Mix Alot! 😉 And yes, those would be more marshmallows from my favorite Mennonite market!*
*Bonus points for unintentional alliteration!*
Current Drink:
I would like to make an announcement! I have officially made my way back to FULL CAFFEINATED COFFEE, people! And it only took TWO YEARS! Cue the coffee pots, open the bag of cookies…er, I mean, coffee, and let the liquid life force FLOW!!
Current Triumphs:
Well, besides my recent claiming of the throne…last week, in yoga, I successfully made it from crow pose to a head stand without the *THUMP* of my head hitting my yoga mat! And now I’m thinking of starting a petition to install little red buttons on the floor so that we can all hit them Jeopardy style just for such accomplishments!
Current Bane of Existence:
Work. Bane of my existence is kind of a strong term, but really, it’s totally cramping my summer style! If only I had a job where I was off all summer…and didn’t have to work for the school system! Not to knock all you teachers out there (I commend you for your abilities), but I just couldn’t do it!
Current Blogger Crush:
I’ve been WAY behind in all my blog reading as of late, but I did manage to set off a pretty decent-sized broccoli bomb over Sydney and Cleveland last week! 😀
Current Indulgence:
Hello, my name is Heather and I take back every bad thing I ever said about chocolate! 😉 After spying the cookies & cream bar a couple of weeks ago while gathering up supplies for s’mores, I’ve made it my personal mission to try each and every other flavor I can get my hands on!
Current Blessing:
To finally be at a place in my life where I feel like I’m EXACTLY where I’m supposed to be. 🙂
Current Outfit:
At this moment, I am lounging on the couch in a t-shirt, undies, and a blanket, but pretty much any chance I’ve gotten this month has been all about the shorts and the sundresses…in other words, continuing on with last month’s mission to FREE THE LEGS!
Current Excitement:
About two weeks ago, when I was strolling along the produce aisles in Publix, I nearly had a syncopal episode when I spotted….persimmons…IN JUNE!! Granted, they were $2 a piece and the one I came home with has YET to ripen enough to eat, but still! And then, yesterday, I saw FIGS!! I don’t know what kind of time warp I’ve slipped into, but I’m not coming out!
Yeah, umm…whatever…just go with it. You know what today is, right? The day where I get off scotch free in the intro department. Which translates into I get to say whatever the eff I want. Though I guess, since it is MY blog and all, I can really do that any ol’ day. So, ok, moving on. While I still haven’t figured out how to add more time to my days or get these blasted bunny ears off my head, I couldn’t POSSIBLY skip out on a chance to throw up some random toodly bits (again, go with it) so without further ado, because I know you’re eyes are practically bleeding by now, let’s get to it!
As alluded to in yesterday’s post, this week has been one for the books and it hasn’t helped that work has been absolutely nuts. Luckily, I’ve had some sweet bits and BITES throughout the week. I’ve been super skeptical of all the limited edition Oreos thanks to my problematic packaged good past, but let it be known…Nabisco bit the freaking toodle on this one!
Now if only I could balance out the cookies with a little more greens! This was my meager haul from the farmer’s market on Saturday after hardly making a DENT in what I bought last week…while the tomatoes (which were the sweetest little nuggets of goodness) only lasted a day, I’ve yet to toodle up what the bit I’m gonna do with all those friggin green beans!
But can we take a minute to just admire this mutant of an onion?! I’ve only used about 1/291645 of it at the moment…fingers crossed I haven’t bitten off more toodle than I can chew!
I totally lost my toodles when these babies showed up on my doorstep yesterday! The awesome dudes and dudettes over at Quest promised all us Blendies a box of our very own JUST because they didn’t have ONE bar to put in our swag bag! I know, right? I showed my appreciation by ripping into the box within minutes and then proceeding to take half an hour to make this gorgeous collage in their honor! 😉
And well, what would a Thursday be without a little moooooosic?!
I’ve been drooling over these bad boys for months now and I figured it was about high time I shared in the monkey love…plus, who wouldn’t want someone to sing this song to them? It makes me all toodly in my bits!
Oh and just in case you were wondering…
“Toodle” may be a new addition to my vocabulary, but “sane” never was.
Now how about toodling YOUR way over to Spoons and checking out all the other linkups? Sound good? I thought so!
My name is Heather! I'm a southern gal with a passion for food, fitness, and photography...and alliteration if you didn't notice! Here you'll find a mix of random musings, delicious recipes, and hopefully a chuckle or two! Check out my "About' tab to learn more!
