What I'm loving.

There are a few things, simple things, making my heart very happy lately.

I'm loving... Music

Music can get you in the best mood.  Some days I spend waaay too long scouring internet message boards for good, NEW, music for my spinning class.  I recently found the following that I LOVE. They may be old news to you, if not, consider adding them to your workout play list.

• Drum Song by The Temper Trap.  All instrumental, fast, love it, love it, love it!


• How You Like Me Now by The Heavy. Little bit jazzy, great beat. Apparently it's a car commercial, I had no idea because M mutes commercials.


• Kashmir by Bond. All instrumental of the Zeppelin classic. I'm not saying they did it better, just that it's incredible. A little faster pace than the original. It's inspiring. Good for a climb or long distance run.


• Possibility by Lykke Li. Great cool down or stretching song. Yes, it's from New Moon. No, I'm not ashamed.


• Morning After Dark by Timberland ft. So Shy & Nelly Furtado. I get SO EXCITED when I listen to this song. I LOVE rap. Every once in a while a "rap" (it's pop I suppose) song comes out that I can listen to until someone tells me to stop.  Roommates of mine will remember the Window to the Wall obsession of junior year, and M can attest to the Apple Bottom Jeans over-play.  Seriously, listen to this song. And maybe even have a little kitchen dance party if you feel up to it. Note: M stole a little of my joy when he pointed out how annoying Timberland's voice-echo thing is. He still admitted it was a great song, though.


• James Bond Theme (Moby's Re-version) by Moby. I know this is an old one, but I have such a love for Moby.  M's Dad had a Z-3 for a while.  M borrowed it his junior year, took it out to an open road and flew to this song- I won't say how fast. Maybe that's a secret. I think it's okay to spill the beans now, some 10 years later.


• Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke. Yes, also a New Moon soundtrack-track. Good steady beat, almost trance-like.


• Follow Me Down by 3OH!3. From the Alice and Wonderland soundtrack. Just happy.


• Electric Feel by MGMT. Kinda chill, nice warm up, just has a good sound. I already had this post written when we spent this past weekend with Nell and Joseph... Nell mentioned this new band she liked, MGMT, AND that the guy went to her high school. Neato. Nell says that "Kids" and "Time to Pretend" are also good.


• Last, but not least, I cannot get enough of Muse since sometime last year. They are incredible. Supermassive Black Hole, Uprising, Knights of Cydonia... I could go on. For days. Give them a listen. M seconds me on this one.

I'll let a few pictures tell a thousand words for my next loves.

I'm loving... J in Cargo Shorts

I'm (back to) loving... PB&J

First trimester put a stop to peanut butter eating.  I began to get a little concerned considering we have enough PB stockpiled to survive Armageddon.  When I was pregnant with J we had a bulk sized amount of Stonyfields yogurt go bad thanks to nausea (I know, sad, right? I should have given it away, I just kept thinking I'd feel like eating it again). Thankfully, the second trimester brought back my energy and JIF obsession. Below is my PB&J as it waits for me in the office fridge (yes, I like them cold if they are made in advance).


This picture really serves 2 purposes: First of all, to include more pictures in my increasingly dry posts. And secondly, to point out why I have not shared any recipes of late.

I'm loving... Kroger

I read so many blogs that give props to Publix, that I wanted to give some love to Kroger.  The shopping experience may not be quite as fine as Publix- but, I am convinced you spend way less and don't have to mess with coupons.

I'm loving... April 28th

Because that is the date of my 20-ish week ultrasound, which will reveal if Dos is a boy or a girl!

Which do I prefer? Either! It's our baby, it is what it is. Now, all that does not mean that I'm opposed to a few guesses on your part. So, what do you think? Will April 28th reveal pink or blue?
