Friday Five

Stealing this idea from Laura’s blog!

 

1. What I’m Reading:

As mentioned in this post, I’m on this weird mission to read all of the Time Magazine’s 100 Best Novels. Dear God, why am I such a nutcase? I just started this one:

Next week, I will start this for book club:

“Mary McCarthy's The Group rose to the top of the New York Times bestseller list for fiction in 1963 then remained there for almost two years. A sharply written page-turner about eight Vassar graduates and their lives in NYC and beyond, the novel tackled such then-taboos as extramarital affairs, premarital sex, homosexuality, contraception, abortion, and psychoanalysis in a style noted for its bluntness as well as its wit. The New York Times hailed McCarthy's works for its "miraculous precision" and "believable clarity" in portraying Manhattan Bohemia, while Time Magazine noted that "for the first time, highbrow readers who have long acknowledged an athletic and logical brain will meet those who prefer the fictional products of female temperament."

Wow, yeah. Thanks Jess!! I’m excited about that one.

2. What I’m Listening To:

Cannot get enough.

3. What I’m Watching:

Eh, nothing new. Just my girls.

4. What I’m Eating:

How about what I will be eating, as soon as I find one:

5. What I’m Pinning:

I only use Pinterest sporadically, but here are some:

Good Lord, his shorts are hot.

Love her hair, but I can’t pull off that blonde:

GIVE ME THIS DOG!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Whoa, I drank way too much coffee.

What I’m Loving Wednesday

Hi! I don’t typically participate in the “What I’m Loving Wednesday” posts, so I thought it would be a fun mix-up! Here we go!

1. This week’s CSA bucket:

Inside this box:

• Banana Peppers
• Beets
• Carrots
• New Potatoes
• Pattypan Squash
• Pickling Cucumbers
• Sweet Onions
• String Beans
• Sweet Corn
• Yellow Squash
• Zucchini

What else could I ask for? More beets? Ha. Any ideas on what I can use these banana peppers before? I’ve never seen the whole pepper before. I had no idea they were so large!

2. The fact that I need glasses. Sure, sure that sounds weird, but I’m actually happy! Can I just mention that my doctor was hot? When I walked in, I was like “Seriously? You’re about to get up close to my face? How am I this lucky?” I was too nervous to perv on him though. If anyone is in need of a nice (and cute!) doctor, visit Dr. Turner at Daniel Island Eye Care.

While in the office, I tried on these frames:

They told me they’d be $342 total. Um. Yeah. I decided to check out some frames online to see if I could get a better deal. Pearle Vision has a crazy “try-on tool” that I messed with. Here are my two favorite options:

A.

B.

Which one do y’all like better?

3. I’m going to the 2011 Healthy Living Summit!!!

I was so happy that I was able to score a ticket. Over 100 were sold in 10 minutes. That’s nuts! I don’t care how much this costs me – just meeting other blog friends will be worth EVERY penny! I love y’all so much…So, who’s going? Who do I get to give a great big hug to?!

Calling All Chick-fil-A Lovers!

On last week’s post when I uploaded a video about the new ketchup tubs, Tiffany from Simply Shaka made an interesting suggestion. She said that I should ask my readers to send me pictures with their Chick-fil-A. I was fascinated by the idea of seeing how many different locations I could gather, but also what other people love about Chick-fil-A.

I would seriously love it if you participated. I don’t care if you’ve been been a long-time reader or if you’ve just stopped by here and there and never commented. Show me your stuff!

You can show me a picture of yourself with your food…

or how messy of an eater you are.

You can show me your Chick-fil-A adventures with friends who are also lovers…

or show me how you brought your friend there for her first time!

You can show me any Chick-fil-A goodies that you’ve worn. This was taken at a bar. No shame in my game…

or a picture of yourself at a new location. Here I am on the way to Auburn.

I wouldn’t even mind if you showed me how you’ve been naughty with your Chick-fil-A, like the time Jenna and I took the flowers because we thought they threw them away each night (still so sorry!)…

or the time you used their cups to sip alcoholic beverages. Nascar races make us do crazy things, people.

You could also show me what your special needs are…extra pickles for me!

Or you can show me how you may or may not love Chick-fil-A more than your friends.

Whatever you’ve got, I want it! Here’s how:

• send me an email to: christinaorso@gmail.com
• contact me on facebook
• tweet me: @christinaorso
• show up at my door and let me take your pic

You can start sending them in .5 seconds and I’ll accept them until forever. Thank you and have a LOVELY evening!
