Favorite Website: http://www.juniperbooks.com To all of you bibliophiles out there, this site will rock your face off…more so what the possibilities are. I saw a complete Agatha Christie collection with my own eyes and nearly died.
Favorite Pinterest: My fabulous cousin, Meridith’s pinterest. It rocks my face off!
Favorite “Like” on Facebook: Juniper Books. www.juniperbooks.com OMG, this is a dream come true. I am currently inquiring about the 100 greatest books set…it’s on my bucket list to read all of them. To own them in a matching set? WHAT?? Yes.Please. And yep. They are that good to get two faves from me this week!
Favorite Memory: Don’t buy me flowers. They are a waste of money, and they just die. Travis has been very lucky (cuz I feel the same way about chocolates) not to have to worry about this very normal husband duty. And unless you picked them, I don’t want any flowers at my funeral. I’d rather that money be donated to a good cause. And it is okay if you like flowers…I’ll probably send some to you. I’ve often thought that a nice plant that would continue to grow would be nice instead, but I can’t keep a plant alive (I even kill plants that are taken care of weekly by the plant lady at work – 3 to be exact, before I said, “I don’t need a plant in my office. Thanks, though.” BUT. I am a sucker for fresh picked flowers from a yard and I love wild flowers. This week, my friend, Lori gave me a vase FULL of fresh lilacs from her front porch. They smelled heavenly and were so beautiful. See?
Favorite Bite: This may sound very corny, but it was actually at Outback Steakhouse. I am trying not to eat carbs or sugars after lunch, which means no bun with a burger if I want to eat that for dinner. So, I order a burger with no bun and it comes out with all of the condiments in separate ramekins. A dream for a picky eater. I also eat a side of broccoli with no butter dipped in A-1 sauce. I learned that little trick from my friend, Stacey, and it’s so healthy! By www.sparkpeople.com's calculations, it’s less than 400 calories. And I must say, it tastes better without the bun!
Favorite Refreshment: Rev3 Energy® Surge from Usana. Click here for more info. It tastes so refreshing, a tea and lemonade mix. I’m bummed we can only have one a day!
Favorite Book: WAR by Sebastian Junger . “In WAR Sebastian Junger gives breathtaking insight into the truths of war— the fear, the honor, and the trust among men. His on-the-ground account follows a single platoon through a 15-month tour of duty in the most dangerous outpost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. Through the experiences of these young men at war, he shows what it means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on a regular basis.”-Barnes and Noble Overview.
This is clearly NOT my favorite book, but it’s the only book I read this week. My brother recommended I read it for more “global awareness”. It was not an easy read, but since he’s on the receiving end of like events described in this book, I have a little bit more “brother awareness”.
Favorite Movie: The Muppets. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1204342/ I saw this while visiting the Draper’s this weekend. Even better the second time!
Favorite TV Show: Revenge (Episode: Grief). I think this is the best show on television right now.
Favorite Song: While I’m Waiting by John Waller. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/while-im-waiting/id216334742?i=216334908 With all the unknowns at the Jones’, this song is very helpful.
Favorite Quote: “One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.” -Iris Murdoch
Favorite News: I get to travel to Columbus, Ohio for work. Not a notable city, but I do love to TRAVEL! And not only that, but we’re driving, so I get to check off 3 states in my quest to be in all 50 states. That will make my total = 38!!
