(Ice fishing in the middle of a lake.
Yup, I'm done with the cold weather)
You guys, this winter just kicked my butt. I am so glad
that it is finally Spring and I can leave work without it already being pitched
black. So here are a few non-bookish things I'm loving right now, just because.
TV: Wallander, with its gorgeous landscapes and excellent
performance of a troubled detective by Kenneth Branagh is hitting the spot.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was fun and the third season of House of Cards was
fantastic!
MUSIC: Seth Avett (from The Avett Brothers) & JessicaLea Mayfield covered some Elliott Smith songs. I had the chance to listen to
them and it was a trip down memory lane for me. I adored Smith’s music during
my senior year of high school and all through college and these covers reminded
me why.
DRINK: I'm on a Scottish Ale kick right now and I
particularly love Founder’s Backwoods Bastard and Cutter’s Floyd's Folly. Also,
Care told me about a new app, Untappd, and I've been trying to use that to keep
track of beers I like.
FOOD: The Huz and I made a spinach, mushroom, and feta quiche and it was so good! We made it a half a dozen times and have yet to get
sick of it. You guys have any great recipes to share? I’m also loving Roasted
coconut chips from Trader Joe's. Oh my goodness they are delicious. I don't
have a sweet tooth, but these are my new favorite snack.
Also, no sock weather is back! I am so sick of wearing
socks and boots and constantly feeling like my feet are freezing. This week for
the first time I got to slip on ballet flats and go to work. Bonus, I end up with less laundry to do.
In other news, I'm planning a baby shower for my
sister-in-law. What are some of your favorite things you've seen at showers
lately? I tend to hate bridal and baby showers, but I’d love to find some ways
to make this one fun. Any ideas?
