Fab 5 Fridays!

I’m taking a page from some of my favorite blogger women and starting a “Fab 5 Friday” post on none other than… Fridays!  In this post I will list 5 things that I have loved this week (and they cannot be a friend or family member!)  So… in no particular order!

1. Gilmore Girls.  I am watching the last few episodes of the series right now and although I have done this on many other occasions, it always makes me sad!  It is such a wonderful show and my day is always brighter when after 4:00 I have a Gilmore Girls to watch on the DVR!  Rory and Loralei have such an amazing chemistry and sharp witt.  I read an article recently slightly hinting at a GG movie and while I have no idea what the movie plot would be, just another little taste of these fine women would be wonderful!

2. Words with Friends.  I did blog about this recently, but I’m still addicted to it! I guess if you have to be addicted to a game at least it’s something that I can play and exercise my mind with at the same time… right?  If you have an iphone or ipod touch, join me!

3.  Healthy Life Bread.  This may seem silly to you, but if you are a carb-aholic like me going on a high protein/low carb diet works great to lose weight, but I really miss my breads!  I was so excited years ago to find this great low carb bread to use instead! It tastes great, the texture and feel is normal, and it is only 5 carbs a slice!  Great way to still have a sandwich or toast during the day.  I have also been thrilled to find Mission Carb Balance Tortillas, yummy quesadillas!

4. Olympics.  I know, you may think this is an cop out, but they really are wonderful!  I always go back and forth every 2 years on which I like better – winter or summer.  I mean, right now, we have skiing, snowboarding, figure skating, skating, bobsledding, and heck, even curling!  They just make you feel so happy and hopeful.  Just get wrapped up in the joy of each won medal and the sorrow of each crash and loss for 2 weeks until we get some more in 2 years. Just wonderful.

5. baby sinkin mania. Finally, I wanted to link you to my favorite blog post from this week!  All the blogs on my blog roll are fun to follow but this week, the winner has to go to Jenny Simmons, lead singer of Addison Road.  Jenny writes a wonderful blog that is honest, funny, and sharp witted.  She combines real life, comedy, and faith and weaves them together in a blog that keeps me laughing, crying, and thinking!  This entry is a must read for any mom, anyone that wants to be a mom, or really anyone that wants a good laugh!
