Favorite Things

1. Frozen Cokes. This is a summertime favorite of mine. You know what I am talking about, right? They are like slurpies or slushies, only instead of being like blue-raspberry they are just plain ol' Coca-Cola. Mmmmmm.
   
   
2. Restaurant Eugene. Martha recommended it in her Senior Trip blog but it bears mentioning again. We ate our anniversary meal here and I can't wait to go back to ATL to get another helping of their Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab Salad on top.




3. Baby Oil. Call me cheap, but I have been using baby oil to remove my eye make-up for years. I can't bring my self to pay $7 for a tiny little bottle of eye make-up remover when I can get a huge container of baby oil for like a dollar. It works great too!




4. Crossword Puzzles. Some of you may find it weird to know that this weekend was the first time I have ever worked a crossword puzzle. I got the Sunday paper (for the coupons, of course) and decided to give it a try. My husband is a wealth of knowledge and useless facts, so I basically used him for all my answers but it was still a good way to kill time while driving back from Atlanta.
   
   
5. Beluga Whales. I will blog about my weekend love affair with the Beluga Whales at the Georgia Aquarium soon, but it must be said that, if I could have pulled it off, I honestly think I would have tried to whale-nap one of them. Seriously precious.



6. Getting feedback from my readers. It is so nice when someone says, "Hey, I read what your wrote about Aldi. Where is that?" or "I loved that diaper cake on your blog. How did you make that?" Blogging is a bit of a creative outlet for me. I love creating, designing and organizing things. So when I actually share a little bit on here of what is on my mind it is nice to know that you find it interesting/useful too!
   
   
7. Celebrity Family Fued. I was a huge fan of Family Feud growing up. I still get excited when I find it on GSN (the Game Show Network) but Celebrity Family Feud is brilliant! It comes on NBC on Tuesday nights at 7 PM CST. This week features the American Gladiators and the cast from THE OFFICE! Set your tivo/DVR's now!
   
   
8. HGTV's Design Star. I hate when I get hooked on shows like this, but there is no denying it...they have reeled me in for the rest of the season.
   
   
9. Mexican Train Dominoes. I was introduced to this game at SawGrass this year. It is loads of fun. I will definitely be packing it with me for all my family trips to Ohio from now on.


10. Grocery Mama - the blog. It's like she took the words right out of my mouth!
