What I'm Loving Wednesday

Once again, this week I'm linking up with Jamie at This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Here's what I'm loving this week:

I'm loving my followers- there's 20 of you now! You all leave such sweet comments, and your support is so encouraging to me. Thanks so much girls!

I'm loving the song "All Over Me" by Josh Turner. 

This song has been out for a while and it's a random choice, but it's super sweet and I've found myself listening to it a lot lately!

I'm loving that last year's Senior Ballet Company from my dance studio is having a get together this week! This group of us in particular have been together for years, and some of the girls who just graduated aren't taking summer classes, so it'll be great to all get together before last year's seniors head off to college! We're also handing out the company t-shirts we had made this year- we decided to do pinnies and from what I hear, they look great!

I'm loving the Mint Chocolate Javakula from Seattle's Best. I ordered it this morning at Borders, and it was absolutely TDF. Think part Double Chocolatey Chip Frapp al la Starbucks, part Mint Chocolate chip ice cream. You wouldn't think of Borders as a place for great coffee, but Seattle's Best is pretty fab!

I'm loving the book I'm currently reading, Growing Up Brady, by Barry Williams, aka Greg Brady on The Brady Bunch. Something you might not know about me is that most of my favorite TV shows are at least a decade old- some of these include Beverly Hills 90210, The Cosby Show, The Wonder Years,  and, of course, The Brady Bunch! It's one of the first "older shows" I got into, and I've loved it since I was little. The book talks about Barry Williams' childhood, how he got into showbiz, and what it was like, well, growing up Brady! The book also has summaries of each of the series' 116 episodes, as well as a little bit of commentary on each episode by Barry. It's a great book if you're either a fan of The Brady Bunch, or you just want to see what went into making one of America's most iconic television shows!

I'm loving that I found a green loofah to match my pink shower caddy! (Want to know what's in my caddy? Read it here!) I left my BB&B bag in the car, so this sad little stock photo will have to do!

I'm loving that The Life of a Suburban Princess included my question from her 400th post in her newest post! I asked what advice she had for new bloggers, and her answer was extremely thorough! Go check it out!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Today, for the first time ever, I'm linking up with Little Daisy May for

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving my followers- all 13 of you! 

Thanks so much for your support and all the sweet comments you girls leave!

I'm loving that I started summer dance classes this week! It's only been two weeks since recitals, but I am so happy to get back to the studio four days a week with all the wonderful girls I dance with! Also, I'm taking jazz class for the first time in almost a year, so I am super excited for that tonight!

I'm loving that my senior portrait proofs will be coming in the mail any day now! I have a really good feeling about how they turned out, and I can't wait to see what they look like!

I'm loving that there is a new episode of Franklin and Bash on tonight! I've been watching it since it first premiered last month and I am totally hooked!

I'm loving that I have an adorable outfit picked out for the 4th of July!

Make sure to go visit Little Daisy May, link up, and let everyone know what you're loving right now!

Weekend Recap/ First Followers!

Here's a little look into what I did this weekend:

Saturday morning began with a trip to the nail salon for manicures with one of my best friends- we'll call her F. Our busy schedules prevent us from being able to hang out as much as we would like (and confession: I hadn't had my nails done since December), so some girl time was definitely in order. I know it's spring, but I couldn't resist having my nails done in OPI's "No Spain, No Gain".

I liked the color so much, I bought a bottle to take home!

I had the manicurist not trim my nails- my fingers are so short I need all the length I can get!

On the way home from the nail salon, I got to witness what I consider kind of a big moment in F's life. We made a stop at the post office so that she could drop off her college deposit! She's a super talented artist and will be attending the school of her dreams this fall! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely proud of her, and I know she'll do great!

My brother, M, had to work on Easter, so my family had our Easter dinner on Saturday instead. It was a small dinner, just my family, my uncle, and my brother P's girlfriend. For pretty much every holiday celebrated at my house we have "Thanksgiving Dinner" (Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc.), but switch up the deserts- pie on thanksgiving, cookies on Christmas, etc. Since it was Easter we added ham to the dinner menu and had homemade cheese cake and fresh fruit for desert. It was a great dinner full of laughter and lively conversation- never a dull moment in my house! I ended the night with a little a little bit of relaxing TV- Sex and the City, Glamour's 25 Wedding Dos and Don'ts, and an adorable special about NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and his fiancee planning their wedding.

Sunday morning (aka today) was a late one. I slept in until 1 PM, and, I must say, it was quite nice. The day continued with a visit from my aunt and uncle, and just some relaxing and reading on my part. M had to work and P was out with friends, so Mom, Dad, and I ordered in Chinese for dinner. Later that night, mom and I wound down the weekend with the new Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie "Beyond the Blackboard"

The movie is based on the story of Stacey Bess, a new teacher who is assigned to run a school for homeless children, located within their shelter and literally referred to as "The School with No Name". Stacey, a wife and mother compelled to become a teacher due to her lifelong love of learning, takes on the challenge of educating these impovershed children, instilling a lifelong love of learning and a whole new sense of trust to children who would have otherwise gone without.

One reason my mom and I wanted to watch the movie is that both Emily VanCamp AND Treat Williams starred in it. Both actors used to be on The WB's Everwood, a show my mom and I were OBSESSED with, and it was sweet to see them working together again!

Also, an exciting piece of news- today I got not only my first one, but my first three followers! So, I'm giving a BIG thank you to:

Thanks so much girls!

P.S. Ciara's World puts a little note at the bottom of her posts whenever she gets new followers, which I think is a super cute idea, so I'm going to try and do that too!
