What I’m loving
Written by hootenannie on June 7th, 2012Everybody loves things. These are the things that I’m loving right now.
To kick us off to a boring start, I’ll tell you that I love a water bottle. But listen, this isn’t just ANY water bottle – it’s the Nathan Quickdraw Plus. It has a hand strap so I can take it on my 9-mile walks, and a pouch big enough for an iPhone and a set of keys. In short, it’s a life-saver – probably literally, since without water, I would surely die.
A few weeks ago, we cracked open a bottle of Isabela Malbec, and it ushered the kingdom of heaven right there into our living room. If you see this wine out in the wild, buy it. Spend the $12.99 and feel like a champion. I found it at Fairfax Wine & Spirits on Colfax (attached to Marczyk Fine Foods).
Last weekend, I bought the “Embroidered Eyelet Blouse” (its given, Christian name) at Anthropologie on sale for $39.99, and good grief, I love this shirt.
The Eli Young Band’s “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” is my current favorite song. The first time I heard it on the radio, I cranked it loud – because even if I had never heard it before, the song just feels so good. Then I listened to the words, and felt my heart grow three sizes bigger. The video is a little cheesy, but sorry, that’s country music for you. At least they have a scene where they’re rocking in an alley with sparks flying behind them – a personal dream of mine (can someone arrange this?).
And while we’re on the subject of country music, Jason Aldean’s “Fly Over States” is killer. Never have I so badly wanted to be blue collar. We all know that in a parallel universe, I’m a truck driver.
And finally, anyone who makes me laugh – you are my favorite.

That was fun.
I admit that I have a crush on Jason Aldean. I love that song a lot.

Oh fly over states. I’m running my first 5K in 5 weeks, and our team name is definitely Fly Over States, complete with shirts of Oklahoma and Kansas.

I consider myself included in that last statement– especially because I can also make you cry. HA. Or at least… laughter and tears frequently accompany our conversations… :)

OMG – Fly Over States is amazing. JA is growing on me quickly. I am also loving “Pontoon” by LBT (which is weird because I normally don’t love them) and “Come Over” by KC. Wish we could have watched the CMT’s together. CU’s legs stole the show! xoxoxo
