Five Things I'm Loving Right Now

  1. The song "I Stay in Love" by Mariah Carey. Click this link to hear it - I love it so much. (the pics at the top of this page are a little icky so click and close your eyes. Don't say I didn't warn you.)

  2. Satsuma home fragrance oil from the Body Shop. I think it's the yummiest smell ever.
  3. Taco salads. I love taco salad! I had them twice this week already and I'm making them for dinner tonight, but this time it'll be with chicken. I rarely make tacos or taco salads. I think it's because whatever I make, I know I'll have 4-5 meals worth of leftovers. Speaking of, I had the last of that lasagna for dinner last night -- it was really good, even five days later! And no, I did not get food poisoning! lol

  4. The BBC version of Sense and Sensibility. I ended up buying it on DVD before I even watched it because Target had it on sale. I'm so glad I did! It's really so well done and perfectly cast. I still like the Emma Thompson version but this one is just wonderful. The DVD comes with "Miss Austen Regrets" but I don't recommend even watching it. It's not worth your time.

  5. The Office! My favorite moments of this week's episode? I loved Creed and his chair-hoarding, Andy losing a penny out of his loafer because he had to walk so far to work, Michael ordering his hot chocolate with caramel AND a shot of peppermint, Kevin & Andy putting the "5 families" together to settle the parking lot issue, and Michael calling "Wendy" for a date only to find out it was a Wendy's restaurant. But my most favorite moment? Duh! When Jim pulled out the ring! I had total goosebumps. So what do you think will happen when he actually proposes and doesn't just fake her out by tying his shoe? I hope the writers don't jerk us around and have Pam freak out and run away. They just need to let this happen. They can get plenty of drama and hilarity from the engagement, wedding, marriage.

One thing I'm not loving right now? It's cold and icky outside. Most of the areas around us got snow last night. Yes, snow. In Western Washington. In April. Totally sick and wrong. It was 78 a week ago and today one of the towns up north of me got 10 inches of snow. How does that happen??? Spring will get here someday, right?

Hahaha, I have to agree with you on all accounts (except for Mariah Carey's song because I have not listened to it. I've only downloaded 'Bye Bye', which I love). I made Phil rewind all scenes involving Pam and Jim to watch over again :)

OOH! I totally agree that Satsuma is the best oil too!

Okay, I listened to the Mariah Carey song and I just can't love songs that say "wi-choo"...I always laugh at stuff like that. :) The rest of your loves look good...except I forgot to watch the office...can you believe that? I sure love .... ... .. . :)

I loved, absolutely loved the BBC version. Much more age realistic.
