A Quick Weekly Roundup

1. Drinking. Tea every morning. I used to dislike tea, so I'm not sure what prompted me to give it another try, but I'm enjoying it! What's your favorite kind and how do you drink it?

2. Tasks. Babysitting, vet trip (last set of shots, yay!), trying to fix my old computer/look for a new one, backing up all of my files. Hopefully having everything settled by the time I start classes!

3. Cookies. Since the Marines had another tough week in the field, a group of us got together to bake, package, and deliver cookie boxes to the rooms of all 250 Marines in Delta Co. It was SO much fun and I'm sure the Marines were quite happy to come back to such a surprise.

4. Brunch. I'm excited to have some friends over for brunch tomorrow! I'll be spending today cleaning and making granola, egg bake, and coffee cake. I'm so excited for what my kitchen is going to smell like!

5. Technology. It rocks. I skyped/talked on the phone with so many people back home this week.

6. Puppy problems. After having a great last couple of weeks, I think the teething is getting to her. She's been extra clingy and whiny this week and apparently forgot that she was potty-trained. Let's hope she feels better soon!

7. Reading. Home to Holly Springs. Can't stop thinking about this quote, "Loving God is our only hope."

8. Wishing. For this cookbook. Drooling over the preview and catching Summer's contagious excitement.

9. Trying. To clean a crockpot that had BBQ Pork in it waaaay too long. =( Right now it's filled with water, 1/4 c. baking soda, and a little dish soap, "cooking" for 4 hours. Any tips???

10. A little nervous about all of the talk about Syria. Being this close to D.C. and surrounded by so many military families makes it all a little more real. Keep praying for wisdom!

And finally....to make your day better, I've been enjoying these things lately:

Wake Me Up. This song: so energizing, and catchy!

What the Fox Say? If you haven't seen/heard this yet...you absolutely have to. Keagan came home at 2 AM this morning, showed this to me, and whether it was the lack of sleep, or actual amusement...we couldn't stop laughing!

For a good laugh, or genuine "awwww," here's a charming video that went viral this week.

And finally, this picture of a very happy puppy this morning. After walking, playing, and a good, long, tummy rub...I thought she might start to cry because she was so happy!

How was your week??
