Hubby Made Soup: Things I'm Loving Thursday

Hey everyone!

I am so, so happy it's "Friday" (my days off are Friday and Saturday). This week was extra challenging for no particular reason - it was just one of those weeks that really dragged. I was at the Virginia location one day this week, and I'll be there for two days next week. While the commute sucks, it's nice to spend a few days a week out there. It breaks up my week and it's a change of scenery.

After work hubby and I went to Costco, then braved the cold (50*...I'm scared for winter) and walked downtown to Potbelly for a date.

As soon as we got there we saw a huge sign advertising their delivery services. Ugh. Guess I should have checked online first.

In blog news, I'm starting a new segment: Things I'm Loving Thursday. I love reading other bloggers' Friday Faves, and thought I'd switch it up a tiny bit and post mine on Thursday.

In no particular order, here are some things I've been loving lately.

-The way my husband checks off ingredients in the cookbook as he adds them:

I just think it's really cute.

-Tart cherry juice at night:

I'd been wanting to try tart cherry juice forever, but it's pricey and it never made the cut when I'd weigh potential impulse buys. A few weeks ago there were a couple bottles on the free-to-staff shelf at work, and I did the excitement dance all the way home. We ran out of the first bottle and bought a second one from Joe's for a better price, and we've both been drinking it almost every night. If you're interested, you can read about the alleged benefits of tart cherry juice here. I can't say I've noticed any effects from it (and if I did, I'd be more inclined to chalk it up to a placebo effect), but it's delicious nonetheless.

-This awesome post about buying a home in your 20s. I think we're already failing at tip #1, but there's some great advice in here. (Thanks for the blog traffic, Miranda!)

-Good to Great. I grabbed this off the bookshelf at work, and I've been totally engrossed in it. I love it so far. I'm not a CEO (or anything even remotely close), but it's making me see my company, and every other company I've worked for, in a whole new way. I love books that make me smarter with every page.

-Feeding my cat chicken.
