Things I Love Thursday

  • Black bean hummus- Ok so it's not officially hummus, (no tahini) but it is fabulous. This newest batch isn't quite as good as when I had Katie here to taste test and adjust. Somehow she got the seasoning just right. A yummy lunch for me either way.
  • cute outfits- I've been rocking some pretty darn adorable outfits this week. The one set out for tomorrow is too cute. My new black dress, red 3/4 sleeve cardigan and my black and white polka dotted canvas flats with red trim and bow. :) Not sure how long I can keep this up.
  • any shopping that requires me to visit Hobby Lobby, Borders, and Michael's all in the same day- I'd explain more, but some of the people who will be recipients of the shopping read this. So I won't. But I will later when the gifts have been delivered.
  • An Abundance of Katherines- I love this book. I especially love it on audio. And I really love our Curriculum Librarian for buying it on audio just because I said I loved it. That's why it's now in my possession and I'm listening to it for the at least 6th time. I love it so much I used to have it on my ipod/itunes and listen to it on random and try and remember where in the book that section was. Yes, I am a geek.
  • planning vacations- the plane tickets to Philadelphia and the Twins-Phillies tickets are purchased already. The rest of it we'll lay out and plan Saturday. I'm excited though. Three days in a city I've never been to before (despite having visited the east coast many times as a kid) with one of my best friends. We're going to have so much fun!
  • senior recitals- My friend from Madison is celebrating his completion of med school by giving a senior recital. (Have I mentioned I have odd friends?) He'll be doing his residency in Chicago so as a last hurrah he's singing about an hour long set of church hymns, 19th century, and 20th century music. I'm excited that I'll be able to drive up to Madison and see it next weekend before graduation happens here!
That's my week in Loves, what's yours?

    Probably just needs a little more salt and olive oil. You can never have too much olive oil.

April weekends

By
I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

--Weekly Wrap Up--

By
Media/fashion round up of my week TV: One issue with being a fan of a British TV show? Having to avoid spoilers until you can find a copy of it online to watch. Thankfully a twitter acquaintance posted a link to Matt Smith's debut episode of Doctor Who. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the show without the darling David Tennant, but it was ok. I still enjoyed it. He's no David Tennant, but I'll definitely still watch. I love the cheeky humor. I also watched the first 8 episodes of season 2 of Veronica Mars while cleaning. Is there a better way to clean? Books: I finally got around to reading "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman. It's amazing. I got quite sucked in to the book. It had me sobbing by the end. I really appreciate books that can tell a story so well that I'm emotionally tied to the characters. If you haven't read it or are not a YA reader, you should pick it up. It's about a 17-year old girl who has a major decision to make about life. I...

Booklist

By
I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
