I’m Currently In Love With…
09/05/2012

& I’m back. I took a longer break from the blog then just the normal Labor Day break. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know why, but for those that don’t here is a little break-down of the events that took place. I have two rules while drinking: 1. No Vodka, 2. No Shots. I didn’t break just one of those rules, I broke both. If your name is Larry, I blame you. ;) Basically, I ended up drinking way too much, rupturing a blood vessel in my throat, and going to the emergency room at 2AM. Walked out at 6AM with plenty of fluids in me, and told to see a Gastroenterologist for acid reflux and a cardiologist for heart palpitations. So drinking too much vodka, was kind of a blessing in disguise, health-wise. I kept putting off the heart & acid-reflux thing, but the doctor gave me a kick in the pants that I needed. I did end up coming down with a sinus infection though, so the blog will probably be quiet for the rest of the week. But since I can’t post most of the pictures from the weekend for the weekend wrap-up because of their nature (besides the ones you’ve already seen on Instagram) here is a currently loving:



Sources: Jeremiah Weed, Big Bang Theory, New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, Chevy Truck, Logo Quiz, Scarf, Fall

1. Fall Season TV Shows – One of the best things about fall is the tv shows. All of my favorites are coming back this month, all in the same week and I couldn’t be more excited. HIMYM – September 24th, New Girl – September 25th & The Big Bang Theory – September 27th. If you don’t watch these shows already, I highly suggest that you do!
2. Jeremiah Weed – This stuff is pretty freaking tasty and it’s cheaper than Mike’s Hard Lemonade. It comes in three flavors… cola, tea and lemonade.
3. Logo Quiz App – I’ve been playing this game on my phone since I’ve been under the weather lately, and it’s pretty addicting and really makes you think. It gives you a bunch of company logos, and you have to type in who it’s for. I haven’t been able to beat any levels yet, but I’m getting there. Some of them are so challenging.
4. Chevy Silverado – As most of you many know, we’ve been looking for a truck since Travis’ car caught on fire a few weeks ago. Travis has his eye on one just like this one, and I’m hoping that he gets it. We’ve been riding around in his Mom’s Tahoe lately, and it’s so nice to have such a big vehicle.
5. Scarfs – I’ve never been a scarf person, but this year I’m all into them. I even have this exact scarf and I’m ready for the cold weather to come so I can bust it out.
6. Fall! – I am so anxious for the fall weather to come, and for the leaves to change. I’m completely over the summertime now, give me hoodie weather!

What are you loving lately?

    LOVE HIMYM!

    We have a Chevy Colorado and it’s actually really handy for a small truck. It’s only a pain when we need to buy things like full sheets of drywall or plywood, though, because the box is only 5 feet. That’s infrequent enough though that we just borrow his dad’s farm truck when we need it!

    I really like the avalanche’s, but Travis wants a pretty good sized truck so we can tow a camper with it.

    I still can’t believe you went through all that on the weekend! I guess you have your rules for a reason! lol. Hope you’re feeling better quickly and at least some good came from it (the motivation to look into other issues).

    I LOVE those 3 shows too! So good! I really want to get into scarves this year too- I guess I need to go shopping!!

    I guess I had to end the summertime with a bang, haha. I’m about 80% better, this sinus thing is just holding me back now. Aeropostale usually has some good sales on scarves, that’s where I got mine. :)

    Oh no! I hope you get to feeling better soon! Acid reflux sucks! I always have to take a Pepcid before we go out drinking and take lots of Tums!

    It does suck, I’ve had it for years. I’m finally on a daily medication routine for it. I hate swallowing pills though. :-X

    I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better from your throat but it stinks that you have a sinus infection! Get all better soon!

    Those are like my 3 favorite shows! We just got rid of cable (gasp) so I’ll be watching them on the interwebs hooked up to my tv 24 hours later.

    I’m going to download that app as soon as I’m done typing this.

    I need scarves. I’ve never been a scarf person either but I love when other people wear one. Also, my friend Rachel wears one like the one you have year round with tank tops and stuff so I say break it out now!

    That scarf idea is genius! Boo for no cable! You can save a boatload of cash though doing it your way!

    aw, Melanies, I’m so sorry that you ended up in the hospital, but as you said, it’s good because the docs were able to give you the kick in the pants you needed to fix other problems…

    I also can’t wait for fall shows to start! yay! I love New Girl. I sometimes watch big bang too :)

    I hope you get to feeling better soon. The Big Bang Theory is my absolute favorite show. I usually end up laughing almost the entire time.

    I’m glad you are ok!

    I love logo quizzes! I normally suck at them but they are so fun! I will have to check out the app.
    I’m excited about the new season of Castle. We really don’t watch TV here but that, and the new Revolution, are the only shows I’m really looking forward to.

    I am so obsessed with the logo app! I had to make myself stop when I caught myself looking up logos and asking for help.

    I downloaded that logo app last night…. definitely played it for over an hour. I made myself stop because I think I was becoming obsessive lol!

    haha, it’s addicting. It drives me crazy when I know that I know a logo, but I just can’t think of the name. Last night while laying in bed, I showed Travis a bunch that I knew he’d know, so I finally passed level 1! So far I’ve gotten 400 out of the 901 logos.

    P.S. Emailed you back! (Finally)

    So awful, I hope you start feeling better ASAP! I had to go to a cardiologist and we found out I have SVT, so it was great to uncover and get on medicine for it!

    And I loveeee Big Bang…so hilarious! :)

    I don’t remember if I mentioned this in the comments or in the post, but the ER doctor thinks I have SVT too! I go to the cardiologist in the beginning of October.

    Happy to hear you’re on the mend. You need to spill the beans with how you designed your new header and background. :)

    Header = PicMonkey
    Background = Bought image off of one of those graphic websites. :)

    okay, seriously, can we just be BFFs already? :)

    I love, love, love all three of those shows – in fact, I watch HIMYM and BBT every time I see them on tv. Even though I’ve seen every episode. haha

    I had to stop playing the Logo Quiz because it was too frustrating. I unlocked like 11 levels but still haven’t completed a single one! There are some weird ones in there.

    Lately I’ve been wanting to start wearing scarves as part of my outfits – not just to keep warm in the winter. I love the one you posted. Plaid is so fun :)

    Fall is THE best time of year. Windows open, a chill in the air. mmmm. Typically in late fall I’m sporting jeans, a hoodie and mittens. Because I just love mittens.

    Hope you keep feeling better, dude. How scary. I couldn’t believe when I saw that picture on Instagram! Made me so worried!!

    I thought we already were BFF’s, Miss. Ash ;)

    We watch them ever time they are on too, even if we’ve already seen them. They are just too funny. I love me some Sheldon.

    I finally finished Level 1 today and I have all 12 levels unlocked. I’m at around 430/901 logos. So frustrating!

    I absolutely love plaid, so I had to get it. I can’t wait to wear it.

    I don’t own mittens, I should probably get some. :)

    & Thank you! I’m feeling much better today, this sinus cold tried to knock me down but I’m fighting back. That is definitely a rough picture.

    xoxo
