What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Today, I am linking up with It's a Crafty Life for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving that I'm 1 and a half work days away from my "Christmas Vacation" and that I get to see lots of family over the next few days! I love Christmas and all that comes along with it!

I'm loving this blog. In it, she has a Wake Up Wednesday Post that she does every week where she posts a challenge for everyone that reads to try to accomplish that week. Some of her past challenges were things like: Report a Job Well Done, Gather Things You Don't Need and Donate Them, Learn the Name of Someone and Use it While Talking to Them, Be a Patient Driver, Compliment a Stranger, and Call Someone Out of Your Comfort Zone, among others. You can see some of the other readers' responses to how the fulfilled the challenges in this 2011 wrap up post. I think I'm going to join in on this one in the coming year. This weeks challenge (because it's Christmas week!) is to Remember the Reason for the Season. I challenge you to join in as well!

I'm loving these nail polishes by Lynderella. I don't know what my sudden obsession with sparkly nail polish is, but I really want to go get some now! I wish I could buy some of this brand, but they don't seem to be selling any right now. I've heard that they'll be starting again in the new year, but who knows if my obsession will last that long...

I'm loving these Pinterest finds from this week:

I want to find one of these!

Way prettier than a towel rack.

LOVE Pepperoni rolls from Old Chicago.
I hope these taste just like them!
You can find the recipe here.



And, just like every day, I'm loving my amazing husband.

And our adorable dog, Mattie who's all snuggled up in a blanket in this picture, where I'd LOVE to be right now!

I don't know how she's so good at getting snuggled under there
with just her head sticking out, but she does it all the time and I love it!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day, Everyone! Today, for the first time, I'm linking up to This Kind of Love for the What I'm Loving Wednesday! What are you loving on this fine, rainy Wednesday?!

I can't believe that it's only 11 days until Christmas! Where did December (and 2011) go? What a year!?! I hope you are all having a fantabulous day! Here's a few things that I'm loving today!

I'm loving that tomorrow is our Finance Department Christmas Party, so we get to cut the day a few hours short to go hang out and celebrate together.

I'm loving that Friday is the Food Day at work. It's a FULL day of eating from breakfast into the afternoon! I can't wait!!

I'm loving that we're heading out of town for our first family Christmas Celebration this weekend. Again, I can't believe it's Christmastime already!

Uhhh... Santa?

I'm loving that things are officially back to normal in our apartment. We have our kitchen table back, so we don't have to eat on TV trays anymore. (After our apartment flooded, the kitchen table cracked down the middle when they were working on getting everything dried and cleaned up so we were without a table for a little over a week after we got moved back in)



I'm loving my new favorite blog, The Small Things. This girl is great! She has a lot of great hairdo video tutorials and crafty how to's and fashion posts and, from what I've read, she just seems like a good person. It is just so fun to read the new things she posts each day. I even did my hair yesterday using one of her tutorials AND IT WORKED! Amazing! This is what it was like (except my hair is long and curly and dark).
