Things I'm loving right now...

I know what you're thinking:  "Shouldn't you be packing right now??", but as anyone who knows me well will tell you, I am nothing if not a procrastinator and I am SO easily distracted.  It's not easy having self-diagnosed ADD/OCD...especially for that poor husband of mine that has to put up with my previously described idiosyncrasies...  Besides, the boxes and shrink wrap are driving me NUTS--it's time for a break. 


That said, I thought I'd share some of the things that I'm loving right now....

Lucy's new "sanctuary"

The fact that Lucy's new litter box is a piece of furniture that looks NOTHING like a litter box is fabulous!!  Typical litter boxes are just so ugly and messy.  When friends come over, they have no idea at all that the end table they are passing is actually her "toilette"...


Cocoa Chip Full Bar

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Cocoa Chip Full Bar!!  They taste exactly like Cocoa Rice Krispie treats, but without the guilt.  The perfect snack before heading to the gym or going for a run.


"Born to Run" by Christopher MacDougall

This book is AMAZING!  If you're a runner, you MUST read "Born To Run" by Christopher McDougall. If you're NOT a runner you should read it--it'll make you want to lace up your shoes. When I finished reading it, I was itching to go for a run. Entertaining, inspiring, and motivational...I'm planning a second read just to make sure I didn't miss anything the first time!


White chocolate chip and cranberry oatmeal cookies

As most of our friends and family know (via my long, melodromatic venting sessions about how much I hate packing and the inconvenience of moving!), Bruce and I are planning to move down to the Orem house so the Daybreak condo must be rented out.  While showing it to prospective renters I thought that I would bake some cookies to make the house smell "homey", and I made these cookies...so, so GOOD!  I've been having them for breakfast for the last two days (and for lunch...dinner...snacks...the cranberries count as a fruit and the oatmeal as a whole grain, right??) 
AND my ploy must have worked because we just had someone sign a year-long lease yesterday--YAY!

Autumn

I love the fall...the changing colors, the crisp, cool air...this just may be my favorite season here in Utah...


New shoes

Need I say more?  I mean, the phrase "new shoes" speaks for itself, does it not?  So I will admit that I have a shoe problem...and I'm equal opportunity when it comes to giving a cute pair of shoes a home.  Case in point:  I've been known to drop a pretty penny on shoes or boots that I MUST have, but my new favorite fall shoes are these suede fuschia flats I found at Target for $20.  The color is just so...happy.  I've been wearing them with EVERYTHING.


And now...back to packing and a stack of boxes up to my neck...sigh...
