These are a few of my FAVORITE THINGS...

I've missed blogging.

Hey there, friends!  Happy summer...hot HOT summer, eh?  Wow! Weddings and heat have seemed pretty synonymous these days...but it's been a lot of fun, so I shant complain! :)

Speaking of...my dehumidifier broke a couple weeks ago.  This is serious...as my place gets extremely humid. I've ignored the problem but last night, at 9:30 pm, I picked up a contract to read it and when it limply bent backwards, hugging my already damp hand, inside my mind, it went something like..."IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN'T TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...and with that, decided to plunk down the cash for a new dehumidifier at 10:00 pm last night.  I've never been so excited to make a "boring" purchase!  Thus, was my inspiration for  Favorites Things as my dehumidifier is now one of my favorite things!  I like it so much that I'm close to naming him...something extremely charming and reliable, as that's exactly what he is.  

And "charming" is a great lead-in to my second favorite thing which is my new frog that I got from my friends, Chris and Beth as part of a birthday gift! Yes...apparently, this birthday is lasting all year long! Woohoo!!  Isn't he so cute?!  I've kissed him a couple times, and still no prince charming, but seriously...this little guy does just grand for me. :)  He's a salt 'n' pepper shaker from Pier 1 Imports

 Along with that gift, Chris and Beth also gave me these magnets that they MADE!!! Yes!! I told her she could sell these because it's just that cute! The big square is actually made to go onto the refrigerator, but I bought this little easle and use the magnets to hold notes to myself.  Apparently, this little DIY project was something she found via Pintrest.

Finally, I've been listening to this version of "Free Fallin'" by John Mayer a LOT on my recent road trips.  I don't know what it is about this arrangement, but I'm trying to resist listening to it so much or else I'll end up hating it...kinda like eating too many Sweadish Fish, which I may or may not have done.

Well, it's good to be back. :) Happy Friday!
