Current Favorites

Here are a few of favorite things..currently.

** The weather. Oh my goodness, it is like 68 degrees and there is a cool breeze every now and then. I am so blissfully content.

** The Head and The Heart. Haven't heard of them? Find them. Youtube, Spotify, Amazon, you could go ahead and just download their whole albums because it will be worth it. I had liked them for a while, their folksy, acoustic sound, oh but then I heard them at MAHA this summer here in Omaha. And they blew me away. Again. I can't stop. And I won't stop. (Thee only good thing to come out of Miley Cyrus). I'm hooked. And you should be too.

** Fresh vegetable juice. I can't even believe I am admitting this, but I bought a juicer because it was on sale and had a cool blender thing attached and so I just did it. So with that and my attempt to be healthier, I find myself juicing foods on the bring of spoiling so they don't go to waste. And when it turns up to be all veggies and garden goodness..it makes me happy. I am not ashamed of the delicious taste. I refuse.

** Crossfit. Okay, so before anyone rolls their eyes, bear with me. I have known and of Crossfit for years now as my sister owns a gym in Kansas. I knew I liked it and I knew I wanted to "do" it, I just never did. I talked and talked about doing it but meh, never happened. Well I took the plunge and I am so very glad I did. My friend Paul and I joke that one of the first rules of Crossfit is to, unlike Fight Club, always talk about Crossfit. This is true for some and even more so for others. I can't blame people because really, it all makes such valid sense and when you start, its hard to stop. Except when you re poor..then well its like wicked easy. So here I am tootin' the horn, I LOVE CROSSFIT! It hurts me to the point of tears and hatred but I just want it to love me, so I keep going back. Each and every painful step it takes.

** Football season. Tis the season of tailgating and screaming til my voice goes out. Thanks to my sister in law and being a Nebraska resident, I am now a recruited member of the sea of red. Once again, I regret nothing. I drank the Kool-Aid and I will not go back. GO BIG RED!

** People watching. I am tucked back in to my little nook at my favorite coffee shop in my favorite part of Omaha. See!


Isn't it pretty??!? #AromasBenson
The best type of people come in and out of the doors here. Especially when there is a show happening on the stage because even more random people show up. People truly are intriguing. The more I get to know myself, the more I realize just how insanely unique each individual is.

** All the incredible, beautiful, warm, unconditional loving, patient and glorious people in my life. You are who makes me who I am and influences me in even the smallest ways. Thank you for loving me when I make it so very difficult sometimes. You are my favorites. As the infamous Matt O'Mealey once told me, "Even Jesus had favorites." (This man is going to make a swell father.)

Happy Friday  my favorites! Cheers!
