MY BLING

So apparently when you get one of these put on your finger, and decide to plan your wedding in three months, blogging becomes a thing of the past.

But I think it is completely worth it because I am marrying the most amazing man ever!

With all the excitement we had to get a photo in. It took just a little bit of coordination, and a lot of awkwardness for that one...

but thankfully someone helped us out and took a much nicer picture for the albums!

66 days from today and I will be a STEVENS!

LATELY

So here's a look at my life lately...

I FINISHED MY SCIENCE OF BAKING BOOK!!! Now for the fun to begin! I get to experiment which is really gonna test what I learned. Stay tuned for this one!

Since I am done with that reading. Want to know what is next on my list?? Better than Oprah's, I swear. This book I stole from my boyfriend. It was a grad gift, and the organizational junkie I am...well, I just couldn't resist snatching Getting Things Done as soon as possible. The subtitle - The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. Exactly what I need lately...and I seriously can't wait!

And for all you Bachelorette fans out there...the highlight of my watching tonight was when my boy, looking up from his schoolwork, commented, "Man, if she picks that guy (Ames), their kids will have the biggest foreheads ever!" It is exactly these sort of comments that make watching this show with a guy so much more amusing.

MULTI-TASKING

A diva's got to multi-task. Let's face it if you decide to take on like twenty hobbies, which any diva must, there is just no way to do it all except knock out five things at once.


So I am going to confess...

I'm a multi-tasking blogger. It's new. Normally these posts have had my undivided attention, but not anymore. However, I am hoping my blogging increases from once a month to once a week. Vast improvement right? Well, hopefully if there aren't too many typos or fragments.

So you wanna know what is taking up the rest of my attention? None other than the Bachelorette. And it may or may not be because this season is pretty horrible. Because normally that show is quality!

Just kidding. Don't worry it's my guilty pleasure.

SUMMER DAYS

The problem with having a domestic diva blog is that when you aren't domestic, you got nothin' to blog about. Such is the problem with this blog. But rather than bore you with this sort of talk, I am going to tell you some of my favorite summer things. Cuz guess what people, IT'S SUMMER!!

{wraps}
I love soup. But when it's 110 degrees outside, I want something cold to eat. Enter...wraps. I'd toss a sandwich out any day for a wrap instead.  It could be the same ingredients, but something about adding that tortilla seals the deal for me.

{frozen yogurt}
I just had pink lemonade sorbet last night. Nothing tastes more like summer than that. Well, except maybe homemade ice cream. That has me consuming so much dairy that it's a wonder I don't turn into a Chickfila mascot.

{new sunglasses}
I break sunglasses like they are going out of style. At least one pair a year. No joke. But the advantage to that is I get to pick out new shades all the time. Minimal commitment...just my style!

{ocean breezes}
So maybe I don't get the real thing all time, but I appreciate it when I do. Coming back from the beach recently, I was just reminded how much I love it. Wouldn't mind being a coastal girl someday!

{pool parties}
If anyone needs help breaking in the pool this year, I'd be more than interested! ...Or a trip to beach. Just sayin'. I'd be all in.

{summer thunderstorms}
I used to think I'd like to be a storm chaser. Then I grew up a little, watched Twister a few two many times, and came to my senses. I still love them, but just from the shelter of my house.

{hammocks}
I don't know if I am allowed to pick this one, since I actually don't have a hammock..but maybe someday I will be the proud owner of one again. Because, yes, I used to have one hanging in my room. That and a 4 foot stuffed white gorilla. Wishing you knew me as a child? Yeah...i know.

{flipflops}
There is just something so easy and carefree about slipping on your flipflops. I really do have a special love of my boots, but at heart I think I'll always be a flipflop girl. If shoes were personalities, flipflops would be me. 

{sprinklers}
So I may not run through them like I used to growing up, but sometimes it is awfully tempting. Although I may or may not run through them when I go running. That'll just be my little secret!

DUDE, WHERE'S MY KEYS

Sometimes it is the smallest things that can make your life so much better. For me, all it took was finally purchasing a key hook. I lose my keys quite often, always throwing them here and there...and never in the same place twice. Barely twenty four hours later, and I am already happier! However, I will now need to work out more since I'll be running up and down the stairs less in search of my keys. All in all, I'd say it's a small price to pay.
