March 2012 in Review: What I Am (Was?) Into

My beautiful in-real-life friend (and published author!) Megan at Sorta Crunchy often does a fabulous What Are You Into post and I feel compelled to join in, albeit a bit late for March.

On My Nightstand: Y'alll.... I'm finally reading The Hunger Games (free on my Kindle thru Amazon Prime). Ever late to the bandwagon, but at least I'm there. Absolutely loving it BTW.

Want To Read: Kelle Hampton's Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected. From what I understand, the content is new and not taken from her blog.

T.V. Show Worth Watching: Are you watching GCB? If not, you've got to! If not just to watch this guy:

His name is Eric Winter and I'm swooning. He's been added to My Laminated List.

Movie I've Seen (in our out of the theater): We've recently been frequenting the public library and checking out lots of books and movies. I grabbed The Parent Trap (the original) because I suspected the kids would love it since they are fans of the Lindsay Lohan remake. And score- it was a hit. Sad to take it back today.

In My Kitchen: We've used Kraft's Fresh Takes with chicken at least once a week for the last month and they are a big hit. Quick and easy and quite tasty! I've been using $1 off coupons and getting them at Walmart for just $1 since their price is $2.

In My Ears: Need you ask? Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. WC and I are big fans!



Three Newest Blog Reads:

• The Divine Mrs. Em- she designed my newest blog header (and installed it for me too!)
• Money Saving Mom- I'm trying to follow her 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home series. There are daily tasks and so far I've cleaned out WC's PJ drawer and passed on a large amount of clothes to a friend. Baby steps....
• Hip2Save- Not new, but I check this every day to make sure I don't miss any good deals.

What I'm Looking Forward to Next (This!) Month: A quick trip to NYC, baseball (!!) and sunshine! Be gone, seasonal affective disorder!

I love what Megan said at the end of her post, and I'll ditto it: NOW then. Your turn! What are YOU into this month? Fill up the comment space or borrow this for inspiration on your own blog.

January in Review

IT'S FEBRUARY? The horror. I still haven't finished up '11 in 11! Well, let's take a look at January and where it went.....



My beautiful in-real-life friend Megan at Sorta Crunchy often does a month in review post and I'd thought I'd join in.

On My Nightstand: My new Beth Moore bible study: Breaking Free. Because I need to. (from mommy guilt specifically)

TV Show Worth Watching: I am *finally* caught up on Greek (all of the sudden Beaver is my favorite character) and am slowly catching up on Glee. Also so excited to see that the cowboys will be on the new seasons of The Amazing Race in February- my hometown boys!

Movie I've Seen (in or out of the theater): Holy crap I have an answer for this this month! The kids and I saw Megamind on Friday at the dollar movie and it was great. Of course, any movie that's $1 would have to be pretty bad for me to complain about it!

In My Kitchen: The recipe for Picky Palate's Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Sandwiches..... my next dessert contest entry! Stay tuned for Feb 15.....

In My Ears: Met a friend at a local brewhouse a few weeks ago and saw Kylie Morgan.... at 15, she is unbelievably talented. Of course I purchased a CD and can't quit listening to "Saturday Night" (It's Saturday night, the time is 1 am, we're already missing curfew again.......oh the memories!)

Three Newest Blog Reads:

1. Nouveau Cheap. Tagline: You don't have to compromise on beauty just because you're on a budget.


2. Centsational Girl. She has a cool style!


3. Crazy Running Legs. My long-lost sister- shes runs, and loves Veronica Mars and Alias- we were meant to be friends!

What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month: This crazy snow to melt! Our town is at a standstill today.

What Am I Into This Month - August 2010

My beautiful in-real-life friend Megan at Sorta Crunchy has a fabulous post today and I feel compelled to join in.

On My Nightstand: the newest Sephora catalog (so much purple this fall- LOVE!), coupon inserts to sort through, and Beth Moore's Praying God's Word Day by Day

Want To Read: Beth Moore's Looking Up When Life is Looking Down- should be here any day, and I am hoping it will be a shovel to dig me out of this deep deep hole of anxiety I've been experiencing

T.V. Show Worth Watching: Big Brother, obv. My office pool pick, Ragan, is still alive! And there is much excitement at the Sasha's about the premier of Camp Rock 2 next week. (I'll admit I am sharing in P's excitement.....)

Movie I've Seen (in our out of the theater): Recently? Marmaduke at the dollar movie with the kids. Not bad for a buck. I'm hoping to take them to see Beezus and Ramona soon. Also, my coworker just told me my newest assignment is to see The Other Guys. (We do this a lot- assign each other entertainment tasks.)

In My Kitchen: A big ole messy mess. Too many dishes in the sink. A dusty copy of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking that I simply must get back into.

In My Ears: My local library system doesn't have Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, No 1)on CD, so I broke down and purchased it and am loving listening to it while I run. It was my first adventure into British chick lit and I list it as my favorite book to this day. (BTW, the movie is NOTHING like the book- don't judge it by that.)

Three Newest Blog Reads:

• lollipop26- British and darling, love to watch her makeup videos
• mckmamawithoutpity- oh Lord- check the right sidebar for "Links You Might Want to Read"
• Reality Steve- I will not hide in shame, I will just go ahead and admit that I am watching The Bachelor Pad and am always a fan of the spoiler
  

What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month: Cooler weather! I am ready for fall, which I will tell you today is my favorite season, but fully admit that if you ask me in December, I'll tell you it's spring......

I love what Megan said at the end of her post, and I'll ditto it: NOW then. Your turn! What are YOU into this month? Fill up the comment space or borrow this for inspiration on your own blog.
