drinking || I love the Strawberry Acai Refreshers from Starbucks, but sometimes going to Starbucks is out of the way. When I can get my hands on one from Starbucks I like to add lemonade instead of water. It makes it taste like a strawberry lemonade with less sugar and calories. If I can't get to Starbucks I will pick up the canned strawberry refreshers from the grocery store. I pour those over ice and it gives me the bubbliness of a soda-without the soda.

watching || Netflix has recently added Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting and I am LOVING it! It amazes me how such simple techniques can produce such a beautiful masterpiece. His soft voice is incredibly soothing and can put me to sleep within one 30 minute episode. Cam and I enjoy watching that after a long day of work and softball. Kudos Netflix. Great choice!!

traveling || I just booked my flight for my trip to Wisconsin. I realized while I was booking it, that this is the first flight I have taken truly by myself. No friends, no family, no co-workers. Let's hope I can navigate the airports smoothly and seamlessly.

reading || I am still in the middle of a book called Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner. So far it it really good and I can't seem to put it down. It reminds me a bit of When Harry met Sally, but younger kids from totally different backgrounds. Not sure how it ends, but I'll let you know. 

snacking || Costco has what's called "cowboy caviar" and the simplest way to put it is that it is a some what spicy bean dip. I've had it before, but didn't know Costco carried it until this week. We had some for the Fourth of July cookout we attended and went home with a container that I can snack on throughout the week. This stuff is delicious!

craving || all of your typical summer treats like popsicles, lemonade, and sweet tea. I'v also had a weird craving for chips and dip recently or chips and salsa

listening || queen station on Pandora. This is usually not my style, but recently I have been digging the music that comes on that station.

planning || some sort of 4th of July weekend/celebration I'm sure. The other half's sister is coming in from California so I am certain there will be plans. We are also visiting my parents this month for a baseball game.

reading || The Cuckoo's Calling

decorating || the kitchen and upstairs. The cabinets are finally here we are just waiting on installation. We have started to paint the trim/molding upstairs in the hallway and bedrooms, but really need to get moving on that this month!
