Life Catch-Up

Where I Currently Am:
Hampton Inn in Charleston, WV


What I Had For Dinner Tonight:
A panini from Panera.  Snuck it and a bottle of water into the movie theater.  (Remember when I told you that I love going to movies alone?)  And is it just me, or is the nutritional information on the menu at Panera simply frightening?!  Don't get me wrong; I think more restaurants should do this, but dang -- it's a downright buzzkill when you go in craving something and then realize it'll set you back 960 calories.


What I've Been Reading On Flights:
Bossypants by Tina Fey, Real Simple magazine (favorite)


What Made Me Cry This Week:
We said goodbye to one of our family's beloved cats, Inky.  She lived a solid 18.5 years ... and was loved and adored every second of it. 

What Made Me Laugh This Week:
The hideous and obnoxious electric blue Mustang that was given to me as a rental car.  People actually stared.  Oh, and that picture of my husband from yesterday's post.  And the girl who tried to sneak the half-gallon of sweet tea through airport security in Charlotte on Tuesday.

What I Pinned This Week That I Love:
This beaut -


What Makes Football Okay This Week (and every week in October!):
Pink is everywhere.  Even at the game this past Sunday we all wore pink ribbons.


What I Accomplished This Week:
I got my flu shot.  I roasted a turkey and it was delicious.  I still haven't bought any clothes, shoes, or accessories for myself this entire month, so the shopping freeze is going well.


What I Did Buy This Week:
An iPhone.  Finally.  So I can stop complaining about my Blackberry hourglassing all of the time!  And all I have to say is this ... I am obsessed.  Truly, madly, deeply.  And no, I don't think I broke my no shopping goal on this one -- it was a necessity.  My Blackberry was truly on its last legs, to the point of having to be reset a few times each day. 

What I'm Looking Forward To This Week:
Escaping to the mountains with my husband and a few more couples this weekend to celebrate his birthday!  Bring on the fall weather, orange leaves, fun autumn drinks, smoked trout, hot tub, and board games!

  5. I have changed what I order at Panera now that the calories on the menu! Who knew that the tomato soup would have the most calories!

  6. Loving this formatting / theme idea here! May have to borrow sometime, hope you don't mind!

    And yes, it's such a downer when you realize the meal you want is astronomically out of control calorie-wise. And double worse when you legitimately thought it was a healthy choice!

    Safe travels!

  7. I totally understand the movie thing! I love going alone and sitting by myself on the very back row, eating my own popcorn : ) Adam pre-ordered our iPhone 4s last Friday! I've been a Blackberry girl for years, but I am so excited about getting an iPhone. I'll miss the keypad though.

    And, that turkey looks amazing! Go you!
