Things I Love Thursday

In light of everything that has happened in the past week, I'll keep it simple.

Today I love being alive and having all my friends and family here with me. I am beyond spoiled in this regard, and I never take a moment of time with any of them for granted. They make life worthwhile and fun. I'm lucky to have people like them in my life.

Things I Love Thursday

Actually being consistent about blogging (even if I think my content is kind of worthless at the moment).

Starting to add events to a new planner. It's silly but all those blank pages make me feel like there are endless possibilities for 2013.

Greg Jennings cleverly firing back at Brandon Marshall's moronic comments.

Emails with Katie about her new-found love for "Friday Night Lights."

Cranberry walnut fudge.

Spending more time in the board room than at my desk. (Feels like that's been most of this week...)

Listening to the Nashville soundtrack nonstop all day. (I can't get enough of "Wrong Song" and "Telescope.")


What are you loving this Thursday?

Things I Love Thursday

Early Christmas parties at work - fun little gifts from coworkers are nice - and make me feel like a slacker for only ordering mine this week...

Getting Post-it flags and beautiful book and package stickers in our office supplies gift exchange.

New music from an old favorite: The Wild Feathers. You MUST check them out - two free downloads on their Facebook page (at the link!). I'm obsessed. One of the members was the lead singer of the first local band I ever fell in love with in Tulsa.

Buying a necklace I've been searching for for well over a year - and at half the price!

Yummy treats from Petite Sweets:

New Mary Jane's that just happen to be Pantone's color of the year:

And an awful, stomach-churning headache going away with a little medicine and a lot of water. If only they all went this way...

How was your Thursday?

Things I Love Thursday

Man, it's been awhile since I've done one of these posts. Things I Love Thursday posts originated with Gala Darling, if I'm not mistaken. My lovely friend Melanie posted her TILT on Facebook this morning, and I thought "why not reinstate that as a Thursday blog post for awhile?" So here are the things I love this Thursday:

• Cooler weather and little humidity!
• Pumpkin coffee & coffee creamer that help me hold on to fall a little longer
• Wearing my hot pink trench coat 
• Finding my GOOD scarves and getting to wear them - today is the blue "Rory" scarf
• Realizing my trench and scarf match my blog colors
• Work projects I can do while listening to music - Phantom Planet, to be exact
• Snuggling in bed just a little longer than I should because it's cozy in there and cool outside
• Getting to meet interesting people and hear their stories for work
• Payday :) (always a day early for me - love it)

Short and sweet. What are some of the things you're loving today?

Things I Love Thursday

I remember a time when I used to be blog every day. It was a necessary part of my to-do list, just like eating, brushing my teeth or sleeping for 10 hours. Oh college, some days I miss you...

• Reading. More specifically, reading about social media. I ordered "Socialnomics" by Erik Equalman from Amazon a few weeks ago. This is one of the few books that's held my attention this summer. It's all about how social media has integrated into our businesses and lives. Very interesting stuff. It's making me want a social media job. I also got "The Facebook Effect" and the Social Media Bible, which is more of a resource guide.

Two blog posts in as many days - what?! Is the world coming to an end? Nope. Just trying to be more proactive about writing on a regular basis. And that starts with this fantastic blogging idea I used to participate in: Things I Love Thursday.

For those not familiar with TILT, here's the deal. I met my friend Melanie years and year and years ago through blogging. At some point, she fell in love with Gala Darling who initiated this idea of posting about things you love on a weekly basis. I loved it because I felt like it was a great reflection on the positive things happening in your life, rather than letting all the bad stuff weigh you down.

So...here's my entrance back into TILT. Got a blog? Do it too and leave me a link in the comments!
