Things I'm Obsessed with Right this Second: Round 2

Things I'm Obsessed with Right this Second: Round 2


Read about the deal here
The library! I should take advantage of the library way more. This morning I went to pick up some books about photography and dog agility training. When I was walking in I got a call from my mom and I told her what I was doing. She told me she had read in the paper yesterday morning that each library branch in Georgia received a video about the Atlanta Zoo and if you checked it out you would get four free tickets to the zoo! Yay! Today was the first day the event started and I was the first one to check out the DVD. However, you only have seven days to have the dvd checked out and only seven days after that to go to the zoo. So I don't know if we'll actually make it to Atlanta in the next few weeks to take advantage of that, but I sure hope so! Four tickets would have cost us $84.00, so it would be a shame not to use them! And the zoo just had a new baby panda, Po. So you know I want to go see that bundle of white and black, fluffy cuteness! Anyways, besides the zoo dvd I also got some photography books, some gluten-free cookbooks and a book on CD for driving around in the car. They didn't have any books on dog agility. But that's okay. The internet works too.

The Library Rocks!


The Outlander Series. There are a couple of books and series of books that never get old to me. I can read them over and over again. Some of them include, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Mark of the Lion Series (READ THEM!), The Shopaholic Series, and the Outlander Series. I haven't read the first of the Outlander books in over a year and a half, just enough time for the details to be fuzzy. I own all the books in the series but I just picked up the first one on CD to listen to in the car. I am so excited! It's historical fiction. I love the history in the book. It's set in the 1700's in Scotland. I think I would have liked to have been celtic. Something about the people and place speak to my soul. Thanks to my mother-in-law for introducing the series to me!




Babies! January and February seemed to be the baby birth month for all my friends on facebook. Facebook, being what it is, lets me obsess over precious babies whose parent's I would label as only "acquaintances". But some friends who I know more personally have had babies too. I've always been scared around babies, afraid I may break them. So I was nervous when I held a friend's baby a couple of weeks ago. However, after two nano-seconds I fell in love with him! He was so teeny and precious, I just wanted to gobble him up and put him in my purse to take him home. Another friend just had a baby boy and he is equally as precious! My friends make beautiful babies! I wish I could post some pictures of these cuties but I don't know how they would feel to have their newborns plastered on the internet without their permission. Just imagine heaven wrapped in a tiny bundle and you will get the idea.


House Hunting! Searching for a home is a fun adventure. I've learned a lot, but still have so much to learn! In some ways being a homeowner seems really daunting. It's going to be a bigger responsibility and a large financial investment. But it's been really fun to me to go into houses and imagine it being our first home. Picturing our lives in different places is fun. I'm not letting my heart get invested in any more houses until we're under contract though! I don't want to get uber disappointed again. We've found the area we want to live in though, and that's a relief. The area is called Ardsley Park. The homes are close to downtown Savannah, were built between the 1920's and 1940's and have tons of character. Miguel and I think they're great for a first home and we're excited to put our touch on the one we purchase!

Glee! If you've never watched this show, give it a chance! I'm obsessed with it! There is too much awesomeness to describe in words. I love watching it and texting my mom during the show. More specifically, I love the character Brittany! I could quote everything that Brittany says over and over again!

Mr Shuester: "What's a duet?"
Brittany: "A blanket."

Ha! I love her! Anyways, I'm loving Glee and I don't see that changing anytime soon! Seriously, rent the first season and get ready to kiss your Tuesday evening plans goodbye!


Sunny days! The weather is beautiful and warm and it just puts me in a happy mood! Flowers on trees are starting to bloom and the earth is looking more green. I feel like skipping!




That's all for now! 

Blessings to all!
