What I'm Loving... Tuesday!

So, I didn't want to wait til Wednesday. Whatever. 

I was just sitting here, eating hot tamales and watching the Olympics and I thought "I need to do a what I'm loving post... likerightnow." haha.. :) 

1. The Olympics! I feel like my favorite tv show is airing brand new episodes all day long every single day! I find myself yelling, leaping from my seat, holding my breath, smiling, laughing, crying, clapping.. (Seriously, yesterday during women's synchronized diving,  I realized I was clapping. all alone. in the living room.) 

I always love swimming and gymnastics, but this year I've been loving EVERYTHING. Having food poisoning sucked, sure, but being stuck on the couch wasn't so bad considering so many events were on. 

Did your heart totally break for Jordyn Wieber because mine certainly did. Wow. She's freaking top four! The whole "each team can only send two people" thing isn't right in my opinion. I'm glad more kids get to play in the sandbox, but I just feel badly for Jordyn. *sigh* 

And I'm addicted to swimming. Addicted. Don't you just love Missy Franklin?! Her smile is just infectious! Here she is after winning the 100m backstroke. 

And despite Lochte's hype, I'm still a Phelps girl. He's humble, he's charming, and he's freaking FAST! And he's also pretty fun to follow on instagram and Twitter. You should totally follow him. Just saying.  I mean, I dig Lochte and the whole American team...obvi...but when they're against each other, I'm cheering for Phelps. 

 2. AUSTIN! It's officially booked for Eric's 30th birthday trip in early September! Thank you thank you thank you for the recommendations, advice, etc. We're staying off 4th street so we're close to all the activity. My main thing now is planning some options for activities and food, so if you have any more recs, feel free to keep em coming!

 3. Ginger ale and hot tamales. You know when you're sick and have no appetite for anything at all and then all-of-a-sudden, you FINALLY start feeling better and have a strange craving for something random? Just me? I don't crave these things together, but Ginger Ale has been my beverage of choice since Friday. We're talking I've gone through almost a 12 pack. And hot tamales are just awesome anyway, so there's that. When I'm recovering from being sick, I pretty much give my body whatever it wants to eat, regardless what that is.

 4. How I Met Your Mother. Um... How was I not watching this show until now?! I randomly started watching it from the beginning on Netflix a month or so ago, have managed to pull Eric into the madness, and now we're on Season 5. I find myself saying "high five" and "legend...wait for it...ary." I'm trying to avoid any and all spoilers but am so curious who Ted ends up with! Who is that dang girl with the yellow umbrella?!

5. Tassel necklaces. I've liked these for awhile, but just haven't bitten the bullet. This one is the Windsor  from Stella & Dot. I love S&D, but why are they so pricey? I mean, they're not horrible, but just enough for my to talk myself out of it ya know. 

 6. Pinning fall clothes. It's approximately 110 degrees outside and I'm pinning sweaters and jeans. Whatever.
