- Loving all the football on TV. It's back in all it's glory and I can't get enough. I'm like a junkie.

- Enjoying lazy weekends that include a lot of pup snuggles: 

Yes, we let all 3 of our dogs up on the couch, 

and yes, those are MY throw pillows they are laying on. I need new throw pillows. 

And crafting:

- Taking full advantage of the fact that we are currently babysitting my in-laws' smoker and Adam is experimenting. 

Don't those ribs look like the Brontosaurus thing that Fred Flintstone gets in the drive-thru? Anyone? 

- Wanting to paint my nails fall colors. 

 Sinful Colors Rich In Heart::Sinful Colors Copper Pot::Sinful Colors Gold Medal::Sinful Colors Nirvana

I most definitely tried all of these on my nails in the store last Friday and I wasn't meaning to put them all together but once they were on I was like, hey, these are so pretty together! and now I want to buy them all. 

- Spending money on ridiculous things like this:

Yes, that says "Rufferee". Not. Even. Sorry.

- Anxiously awaiting the arrival of this beauty:

This will be my first EVER iPhone and although I really didn't care before and we kind of stumbled into pre-ordering it on Saturday, now that I know it's coming I'm getting excited and already have a case picked out for it (Clear with white polka dots so you can see the pretty rose gold-ness). 

I have missed you ladies! What have you been up to? 

Things I'm Diggin' These Days- August

So I'm a few days behind on this (story of my life lately) because I probably should have posted this on the first of September, but whatevs. You still love me, right??

FYI none of these are affiliate links, I just think you need them!

Here's all the stuff I loved in August: 

Palazzo Pants

I've been wearing these constantly. Ok, maybe not constantly, that's a slight exaggeration. But a lot. And now I have convinced myself that I need the black ones so I got those too. They are just so darn comfy while still being flattering and cute. Win.

Merona Favorite Tee 

**I hope this link is the right shirt, they have a lot of really similar shirts called "Favorite Tee" or some variation, so this link may be to the less stretchy, more fitted version of the shirt. The ones I got are 2 for $16 in store right now and this one is $6.75 online so IDK??**

This maybe doesn't really count for August because I found them when I went shopping Wednesday but I'm putting it on this list anyway. These are just great for a basic tee. They are that stretchy, soft material, not too loose and not too clingy. They lay really nice and are super flattering while still being comfy and giving you room to move. I got the green one and the teal-ish blue. 

I really love the long sleeve tees they have right now, but I already have more long sleeve tees than a FL girl really needs, and the short sleeve are more versatile for all seasons. 

Scrubs

One of our all time favorite shows. Adam and I have been re-watching Scrubs on Netflix and enjoying all of the memories (I first started watching this in college, you guys. COLLEGE. That was about 14 years ago. Yikes). We just watched the last episode of Season 8 which is J.D.'s last episode (well, sort of). ALL THE FEELS. 

Pinterest

I have been Pinteresting like mad lately. I go through phases where I will hardly get on Pinterest at all, and other times where I will be on it every chance I get, pinning all kinds of things. I think part of it has to do with the changing of seasons and feeling more "homey" and crafty, if that makes sense. This past weekend I worked on the stump chalkboard and this weekend I have plans to *try* the letter painting. I still haven't completely decided where these will hang but one will be for our gallery wall.

Cotton Candy Grapes

Nom nom nom. These are so yummy, they feel like a cheat but they're not! They're a little pricey but worth it. Get you some.

Here's some funnies cuz Friday:

What have you been diggin'? Have a lovely 3 day weekend, dolls!

Linking up with Katie!

- Continuing to majorly slack in the blog department. If you left a comment on Friday's post and it has not been responded to yet I am very sorry and I promise I will get to it soon! With the in-laws here this week my schedule has been even more off than it already was and I've been focusing on enjoying time with them in the evenings rather than being online.

Not that you're all waiting on the edge of your seats for my response or anything, but I try to always respond to every comment because it means a lot to me that you all read and comment on my babbling!

- Trying to decide what I should do for my one year blogiversary coming up in August. Has it really been almost a year?? Shut. up.

- Thinking I might need to cut down on my Bloglovin' follows. I always feel bad doing that but my feed is getting outta control and there are just some blogs I follow that I hardly ever or never read and I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with all of my daily reads!

- Really needing to finish planning Adam's half-birthday dinner like now, since it's coming up in about two weeks.

- Wishing Florida didn't have flesh-eating bacteria in the ocean so we could go swimming at the beach without feeling like we're risking our lives. I wish I was kidding. I realize it's not that common for people to actually contract it and die, but really, who wants to take a swim with some flesh-eating bacteria??

- Enjoying the Summer but already looking forward to cooler temps, long sleeves, boots, and pumpkin everything. I realize I live in Florida and we have at least two more months of Summer temps but let me dream.

- Honestly so ready to put the first half of this year behind me. It wasn't horrible or anything, just disappointing and frustrating in a lot of ways and I'm ready to move on.

- Looking forward to eating dinner tonight because my MIL is making her Rigatoni and OMGeeee it's so good!!

 

What are you up to these days?

 

 

 

Currently Loving...

I am all kinds of messed up with my days this week so I totally missed confessions yesterday. Plus yesterday was my first day moving into some new responsibilities at work so I was gearing up for that on Tuesday night, and just....yeah.

Lots of changey things going on. Good things, but some things are so up in the air right now and we know how well I deal with that. Really having to lean on God right now and trust Him for the outcome. I know He's got this, I just have to remind myself of that fact from time to time.

So anyways....

That was the long-winded intro to the fact that I thought instead of confessions this week I would do a little currently loving fun.

+ White jeans...even if I do spill something on them every time I wear them.

+ Florida life.

+ Frozen coffee drinks.

+ That "I just finished a workout and I barely made it through but I feel like a BEAST" moment.

+ Seeing the joy and beauty in everday life.

+ Gold. I can't get enough. Gold, gold, gold. I think I have a problem. And I use to hate gold and  
   would only wear silver jewelry. What is happening?

+ My birthday month is upon us! I will be 32 in about two weeks and I have decided that being 32 is
   going to be totally awesome. #30(2)andflirtyandthriving #namethatmovie

+ Goofy selfies

Loving Lately...

I just love these posts, and not just because they're super easy to write. That's definitely part of the appeal, but also it's just fun to share the little things that bring me joy!

+ Sweet tea in mason jars

+ Living in the South- I went to grab a drink at the gas station yesterday on my lunch and the cashier is all "Do you need your receipt, honey?" in the cutest Southern accent you ever did hear. Love. Here in the South we're all about calling complete strangers "honey" and "sweetie" and "darlin" and no, that's not weird.

+ The way our oldest dog takes care of our middle dog like such a good "big" brother, even though his "little" brother has about 30 pounds on him. Rocky (German Shepherd mix)  is SUPER nervous and high strung and you can just see Otie (Dachshund mix) being like "It's ok, crazy and somewhat obnoxious brother, you will not die if you don't get to go outside RIGHT THIS SECOND, you can calm down now."

Look at Otie's face. He's all "SIGH I can't EVEN right now."

+ Planning a BBQ party at our house for April and looking forward to the beautiful weather.

+ Staying up until 2:00 AM on Friday night to watch "just one more episode" with Adam, and knowing we can sleep in the next day.

+ Indulging in my new favorite coffee flavor from DD and not even feeling the least bit sorry because it's delicious and they only have it for a limited time! ::sobs::

+ Getting through a particularly tough workout and feeling awesome because, though you barely made it through, you didn't quit and that's what matters! Hashtag 21 Day Fix Extreme, hashtag ouch.

+ Sandal weather in February

THESE:

Special thanks to Amanda for posting about them a while ago, I finally got to try them and OMG. Hashtag calories? what calories?
