Things I'm Loving {#11}

Pin It!
Wow, it has been a crazy week!  I am so grateful for the weekend.  God knew what He was doing when He set aside a day for nothing! :)

Highlights from the last five crazy days:

Getting my hair cut.  It is always fun to get to catch up with my hair dresser and I always love the way she styles my hair.  The bummer is I can never, ever get it to look the same way at home.
 
Having no cavities at the dentist!  Other than talking with my hygienist, I don't look forward to it.  But this time, I left with clean teeth and no cavity hanging over my head!  Even though I am the best brusher at our house, I have the worst teeth, and almost always have a cavity.  Not this time! 
 
Thanking God that we were not part of the wreck that happened not far from our driveway.  There have been several wrecks right next to our driveway over the last year and this time, a young lady was driving in the wrong lane and hit, head on, an old man driving home from work.  She was life flighted and the man was taken to the hospital.  It made me thankful!
 
Taking my physics test and feeling much more caught up in school.  *sigh of relief*
 

Reuben sandwiches.  Mom bought me sauerkraut and made corned beef and I've had it several days in a row.  They are so good, especially homemade!

 
I got this notification late last night!  (I was up talking with Mom, so it was somewhat justified.)  I had missed the first two - "The word begins with "G" ... "The word begins with "G E")  Haha, they knew I had been on this one set of pictures for more than a month!  The funny thing is I had honestly forgotten I had this game on my iPod.  I did pass that level, thanks to the hints.  What cracks me up is the *wink wink* they added to their message!

Recipes that I'm loving:

All mac and cheese recipes have me drooling.  These especially caught my eye!
Pepper Jack Jalapeno Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese from Brooklyn farm girl
Greek Mac and Cheese from Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice

And I've told you before, I'll take sweet breads over cookies any day.
Now for keeping it real …

I walked around all afternoon Friday, with one of my shirts buttons unbuttoned. The shirt was patterned and it was closer to the bottom, but really people. I'm hoping no one noticed, but if you did, make me aware of my wardrobe malfunctions next time, okay?!

Oh yeah, and then spending 30 minutes straightening my hair and then ending up pinning it half up. This happens any time I try to do my hair. #neverworks  Remember I told you that I never can get my hair to look the same way after my hair stylist cuts it?

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Mary Frances

  1. Congrats on your test, Mary Frances, and I've got corned beef on my radar big time. I love St. Patrick's Day! :)

    1. I used to not care about Saint Patrick's Day - and then I had corned beef. Reubens are one of my favorite sandwiches!

  2. Thanks for the love!!

    No cavities deserves a serious celebration. I almost cried the last time I was at the dentist and found out I didn't have any cavities! Then ate some candy... ;)

    1. Haha, I should've done that! Cotton candy would've been good ...

  3. Omigoodness don't even get me started on tooth (teeth??) health…The surface and placement of my teeth make me a lot more prone to cavities than most people, so I have to go above and beyond to make sure I take care of them. I've managed to avoid cavities for the past couple of years, so I'm hoping the trend continues -- the dentist seriously freaks me out!

    1. I told my orthodontist I liked them better than the dentist and they jokingly said that wasn't that much of a compliment! :) I'll join you in this no cavity trend, Amanda!

  5. I love Reuben sandwiches too!, though I have not had one in a long while.
    Good news about the dentist. That is always a sigh of relief and getting the test out of the way and off your mind is good too.
    Wonderful selections for food you love,
    Blessings dear. Catherine xo

    1. Thanks Zainab! Still haven't gotten my egg drop lab paper back though ;) Haha, if I'm cavity free next time, I know how to celebrate now !

  7. So happy it's been a good week for you, Mary Frances! :D

    I've been at a crossroads with what to do with my hair...I've been trying to go blonde but now I'm missing my natural dark hair...I'm also unsure if I should go short or keep it long...oh decisions, decisions..may these be the least of our troubles. I know what you mean though. Hair styles can give us model hair in minutes...I can take an hour and still look like I need to style my hair xP

    Anywho, can't wait to see what you bake up this week! :D

    Toodles,
    Tammy<3

    1. I know it! I cut it short, because I liked short, but now I'm trying to grow it out again. But do I want bangs? Layers? Highlights??? Ugg, so many choices! It's a blessing and a curse :) And I gave up on styling my hair because it truly takes longer than the function I'm going to. Thanks Tammy! xx

  8. Yay for no cavities and haircuts! I'm so glad you're safe - it's scary when things like that happen so close to home. I feel your pain for the wardrobe malfunction - or how about when you have a makeup smear and noone tells you? That happens to me all the time. Hope you're having a good week! ;-)
