Things I'm loving lately
Here's some things I'm loving lately!
Excitement #1: My new planner
Image from here.
I am one of those people who still uses a paper planner, not some sort of planner in my phone. I like being able to obsessively plot things on paper and see my life's doings all at once. This time of year is always exciting for me, because it means I get to buy a new planner for the next year! (Yes, I am a nerd. Hush.)
I have been buying Shinzi Katoh planners for the past three or four years, but this year I wasn't finding any designs that struck me as particularly awesome, that I wanted to see for the next year and use several times a day, every day. In my eBay searchings I found this seller who has some pretty darn cute planners. So I ordered one and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. You need to look at the super cute pictures of the inside of it! AGH, so cute! I collect Alice in Wonderland stuff, so I'm pretty excited about this. I have a Shinzi Katoh Alice planner right now and it's pretty awesome.
Excitement #2: First Alaskan Winter of the season!
You may have already seen this Excited Face Brittany Picture on Twitter or Facebook last night. I'm Really Excited that the Alaskan Winter is now out because it's brewed with spruce tips. You can also buy other yummy Alaskan food items like spruce syrup or spruce jelly. The flavor is a little bit...different to some people (like Jonathan's family, who I got a big bottle of syrup for for Christmas when I first met them :oD), but I think it's great!
Anyway, the Winter is a really easy to drink, mellow beer, as far as winter beers go. I highly recommend it!
Excitement #3: The Point
I have to admit, I have not actually been to The Point yet in Ketchikan, but I "like" it on Facebook and, if you want to see some beautiful pictures of soup, this is THE place. It is like soup porn to me. Just LOOK at these amazing pictures of soup (all images from The Point's Facebook page):
Does that make your mouth water or what? Can you tell where I want to eat every single day when I'm there in December? Is there anything more that an Alaskan girl needs in Ketchikan in December than a beautiful bowl of soup? Nope. Nothing. (Okay, there is coffee, but go with me on this one!)
Also, there's live music on Fridays! What more could you ask for?
One more thing, I MUST add this because it is SO TRUE and SO FUNNY! Taken from The Point's website, "24 Alaska Facts to Help You Avoid the Pitfalls of Ignorance." Beware! You will laugh so hard you are going to pee your pants. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Excitement #4: A couple blogs I super love
I read quite a few blogs, but there are few that make me giddy when I see there is a new posting. This is only SOME of them, so if you are a friend of mine and you know I read your blog and I didn't mention it, it's not because I don't love you, obviously. Right?
Here's blogs you should love, too:
- Catatar: Best cat blog ever? I'd like to think so.
- Color Me Katie: Super cute and tiny fun photographer!
- *Bitch Cakes*: A Neurotic Glamour Girl's Weight Watcher Experience & Fitness Adventures: I follow all of Sheryl's blogs, but this one is my favorite. It chronicles her lifelong weight fluxuation until she decided to do something about it. I love all three of her blogs. She is funny, sassy, real, and gorgeous. She has a beautiful soul and is a nice person. I just love her.
- Effing Dykes: Funny all around. I love this blog. I love the way Krista writes and I think she's hilarious. Enough said!
- Hoboville: This girl actually sells the cutest rubber stamps on Etsy, but her blog is SO FRIKKEN CUTE ALSO. She doesn't post a lot, but her drawings are so filled with cute that it makes me happy forever. Did you see the post with her little cat with HAPPY FLYING FISH?!?! I died of cute. (cute)
- Lost in the Forest: This girl lives in British Columbia. Her photos totally remind me of my home in Alaska, because where she's at isn't far from where I'm from. She doesn't update much either, but when she does I get all sorts of excited.
Thank you for reading another Friday's worth of things I'm loving lately. You know...YOU could always tell me something you are loving, too!
