Things I'm loving these days

1.  Nature Valley Granola Thins - They are sooooooo good.  I had a coupon, so I decided to get a box the other day at the store.  OMG, they are the perfect dessert after my daily turkey sandwich and baked chips.  They are RD approved.  I mean, granola + dark chocolate sounds healthy.  Right??  I was tired of my 80 calorie chocolate pudding, so now I eat one of these squares for my treat.

2.  Zulily - http://www.zulily.com/ is a website offering great deals for mom, baby, and children.  It seems like everybody I know is having a baby, so I use this website A LOT when buying shower gifts.

3. September -  September is my favorite month.  I can still wear flip flops and lay out, but it's not unbearably hot.  I consider all of the month my birthday, and I'll use that as an excuse to do special things and avoid others throughout the month.  We also get a 3 day weekend for Labor Day in September. And, football!!

You might be a redneck if......

Scott and I were supposed to be at the beach August 6-13, but due to not having enough leave after being out of work for 2 months we weren't able to go.  So, Scott showed up with this lovely little blow-up pool Sunday.  I'm sure our neighbors are just thrilled.  Seriously though, it is the PERFECT size for a couple or small family.  It is 2 feet deep and 8 feet across.  We can be found most nights after dinner lounging in the backyard because that's how we roll.

Florist are so overrated.  Just pick water lilies in the creek and put them in a random Aquafina bottle you find in your pick-up truck.  Your wife will be elated.  It's the thought that counts, and I thought it couldn't be sweeter.
