"Rain Drops On Roses and Whiskers On Kittens"

Okay, so when I started this whole blogging thing I openly admitted that I would be terrible at keeping up with it.  Seeing that my last post was on August 27, I think it's safe to say that my prediction about a totally unreliable blogger was correct.  Oh well.

I've decided that today I want to talk about the things that I am currently loving.  I hope you will bare with me, they are sure to be completely random.

  1. Sweet Home Alabama.  This is in no way a new obsession, it has been my favorite movie for years, but recently my co-workers have discovered just how often I watch it (because I can't keep my big mouth closed).  If you haven't seen it, well....don't tell me unless you want to be forced to watch it.  ;-)  If you have seen it, you know you love it.  There's no shame.  I mean Reese Witherspoon is amazing and Josh Lucas is gorgeous!  You can't go wrong.
  2. Hot tea.  I have always loved ice tea and hot coffee, but lately I can't get enough hot tea.  One of my favorite brands is Bigelow Tea.  You can buy it at pretty much any grocery store - I buy mine at Walmart.  It is inexpensive and totally delicious!  They have tons of flavors too, so I promise that they will have something that you like. 

    If you really want an amazing tea that it full of natural "healers" and you don't mind spending a bit more, check out TeaPots n Treasures.  They are a company based out of Indianapolis.  They create and blend all of their own teas, and let me tell you, they are amazing!  They have a second website that has includes there other products as well as more information about their teas and such.  Check it out here.
  3. Pinterest.  There really isn't much for me to say about this aside from the face that I am obsessed!  (Thank you Sarah Morton.)

    I am literally on Pinterest every single day.  I am on it more than Facebook, and that is really saying something!  If you have never used Pinterest go check it out.  You will LOVE it!  Promise.  While you're there, check out my page, it's full of fun stuff.  :-)
  4. Blogs.  I never seem to find something interesting to write about on my own blog, but I spend time daily reading other peoples blogs.  Here are a few of my favorites.  I think you'll like them.

    Writer Will - Will Montgomery -- His writing is kind of amazing.  He writes about everything and he isn't afraid to touch on topics that most people tend to stay away from.  He'll make you think, make you laugh, and make you examine your life.  Also, he has written a really great book called The Polar Bear.  If you like his blog, you will definitely like his book.  I promise.

    The Small Things -- Kate writes about all kinds of stuff from recipes to hair and make up to fashion to home decor and organizing. 

    The Pioneer Woman -- As a country girl, you can only expect that this would be a blog that I love.

    Random Thoughts -- Although this blog is written by one of my best friends, and I already know about almost everything that she writes about, I still enjoy reading each post.  That could only mean that her blog is amazing!  P.S. It's her birthday, so you should totally check out her blog and tell her happy birthday!  :-)
  5. Candles.  Plaid Flannels.  The anticipation for Christmas.  --  I grouped these together because I don't have much to write about each one.  So here it is. 

    I love candles.  I currently have 5 burning in my apartment.  Overkill?  Probably.  Do I care?  Nope.

    Who doesn't love plaid flannels?  I mean unless you haven't gotten in touch with your country self, in that case, I think you should.  :-)

    I love Christmas!  I love the build up to Christmas, Christmas music, the first snow of the year, candle light church services, time spent with my crazy family, buy gifts for the kids on the angle tree, buy gifts for my family and friends.  I love it all!

    Well, I can't figure out how to get my text back to the left side, but oh well. That's all I've got for right now. Maybe I will think up something else worth writing about in the near future. Until then, check out some of the things that I love. I bet you will love them too!
