What I'm Loving (Friday Five Edition)

I have to admit I've been a bit slacked on the blogging front.  Most of that is not having a real routine right now, but I'm slowly figuring that out.  But for now here are a few random things that I have been loving recently.  



1. Not Working - I am really enjoying my time off right now.  Like really really a lot.  That thought might change in 6+ months, but I love having my days to spend how I want.  I go to the gym, I go out to lunch, I read, I watch TV.  Whatever I'm wanting to do.  If I didn't have my pesky bills, I think I would enjoy an early retirement.  I could find a Sugar Daddy, but I don't want to be dependent on someone that way.  Or I could win the Lotto, but that would mean I would have to play it.  For now, I will enjoy my time while looking for another job.

2. Cleaning - I have to admit, I hate cleaning, but I have been on a mission to declutter my house.  I am basically done with my upstairs and halfway done with downstairs.  This is more then just cleaning, but getting rid of things.  I've taken several trips to the Goodwill and a ton of things have been recycled and thrown out.  When I'm closer to being done, I'll do a post about it.

3. Avenger Movies - I have been watching all of the Avenger movies from the first Iron Man to Captain America: Civil War.  These are fun movies and the more you watch them, the more you see how they are all connected.  All the little details and Easter Eggs are fun to figure out.  And there are some really good looking heroes to watch.  Yum.  I wold love for them to do an origins story of Black Widow.  I find her very fascinating being a bad-ass chick in a room of super powered testosterone.  Very unlike the boring waifs of Pepper and Jane, waiting for someone to save them. 


4. Trigger Point Foam Roller - I got this roller for Christmas and I LOVE it.  It's a bit harder then traditional foam rollers and get deep into those tight muscles.  It hurts so good.


5. Snuggle Time - With all this time off I get extra time to cuddle and snuggle with my kitties.  Brianna is 17 and while she still is getting around well, I know she doesn't have that many years left.  And Riley still has a lot of feral in him, and even though he has been with me for almost 3 years, he still is very skittish.  The more time I'm home, the more he seems to relax.  And then there is Aiden, my snuggle bug.  I just love spending time with him.

OK, there is one last thing that I have loved this week.  The weather.  We had a couple days of beautiful weather this week and I tried to take full advantage of it.  I actually enjoyed running on Wednesday because it was almost 60 degrees when I went out first thing in the morning.  All the windows in my house were open for two days strait.  A cold front has come through and we are back to normal 40 degree high temperatures, but the sneak peak of spring has made me so happy.  I can't wait for the spring!

What are you loving?

  1. I was loving our spring weather too (until yesterday).

    Cleaning can be addictive. Once you get one room done it makes you want to do more!!

    1. That is exactly what is motivating me to continue. It's so nice to not have the clutter.

  2. I've got to get a new foam roller, I'll take a look at that one! And I love the Avengers movies. That would be great if they do a Black Widow movie at some point.

    1. It's a little expensive, but it is so worth it!

  3. I've been decluttering things this year as well. It feels so good! I love being about to donate items and also get some clutter out of my home.

    1. Yeah, I've done like 6 trips to Goodwill. It makes me feel OK to get rid of things knowing someone else will enjoy it.

  4. A Black Widow movie would be so awesome!! I have never thought of watching all the Avengers movies together... so it would be Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man 2, Hulk(?), Avengers... and I've lost the order now...

    1. I've never done that either, but it's a great way to watch. I've had to look up the order all the time to make sure I'm watching them correctly. Iron Man, Hulk, IM2, Thor, Cap, Avengers, IM3, Thor 2, Cap 2, Guardians, Avengers 2, Ant-Man, Cap 3 (though should be an Avenger movie), and Dr. Strange. With 3 more coming out this year. It's a good time.
