Snapping…pictures of the sunrise. A few months ago, I realized that the sunrise out the patio door of our rental house was heart-stoppingly beautiful 99.9% of the time. I started taking a picture every morning. We are moving at the end of March into our much anticipated dream home so I hope I find a great new spot to observe from!
Laughing…at the TV show Hart of Dixie. Thank you, Netflix, for allowing me to watch and fall in love with shows I have never heard of before and to do it at my leisure. This busy Momma appreciates it.

Nibbling…on these yummy, crunchy clusters from Brookside. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I have been kind of addicted to them lately. I get mine at Target, but I have found them just about everywhere. Including, once, at a random little gas station in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.

Waiting…for the completion of our dream home! We are about a month or so away from moving in and 101 daily decisions on paint, lights, and finishes are keeping me up at night. So fun. So stressful. Sooooo hard to wait.

Writing…a lot lately! And as you may have guessed, its about food. I have some fun announcements coming up soon so stay tuned!

Reading…as much as I can! I started a book club when I moved to South Carolina and because my life just is not busy enough, I thought it would be cool to do a reading challenge as well! I found this list on Pop Sugar and thought the different categories are kind of awesome. I am reading a different book for each one-no doubling up-and am having a blast researching obscure titles. I mean, come on. A book written by an author with my same initials? A book with bad reviews? Sign me up! I even started a Facebook group to help keep anyone interested in the Challenge motivated and full of ideas! Find me on Facebook if you want an invite!

Hoping…I didn’t make a HUGE mistake when I signed up for my first 5K. Eeek! One Run Columbia is at the end of march and in an effort to deal with some health issues, I decided that taking up running was a good idea. Clearly I was not in my right mind when I registered, but that is beside the point now. I have too much pride to walk it, so…let the training continue!

Realizing…that I use way too many exclamation points in my writing.

Organizing…my life! My house is good, but you know all those hand dandy printables that I see on Pinterest that are all cute and decorated and coordinated with each other? Yeah. So not me. I don’t want my stationary to match my outfit or my daily tasks to be color coded by priority. But I DO need to keep better track of appointments and my online obligations. So what did I do? I printed out one copy of every single style of free calendar that I could download. These next few months will be an experiment in organization methods. I’ll keep you posted on what works. Ha! Get it? Posted? Heh heh.

Exhausted…by my (almost) three year old, Lane. My husband calls him the destroyer. This is not an exaggeration. Here he is in his dormant state. Its a good thing he is cute…Obsessed…with pimento cheese. I had no idea what I was missing out on, all those years living in the north. As a recent transplant to the south, I am really really really enjoying the quest for finding the perfect pimento cheese. Which will no doubt turn into a major marathon of recipe developing. If you aren’t familiar with it, pimento cheese is a kind of cold dip that is, as far as I can tell, shredded cheeses, maybe some mayo, cream cheese, minced pimento, and spices. I am telling you guys-this stuff is da BOMB! My mouth is watering as I write this.
