What I'm Loving Wednesday

1. Julienne Peeler

I have been wanting one and finally broke down and spent the $9.99 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  I'm.in.love!  Cucumber "noodles" and squash "noodles" have been made.  (Complete recipes will be posted soon!)  An attempt at bell pepper "noodles" deemed unsuccesful.  Next on my list is sweet potato noodles.  What else can I julienne?!?

2. Library Elf and Other Online Library Services

Why pay $9.99 for a book when my tax dollars provide me with all the books I could ever borrow?  And since I can browse the entire parish's card catalog online and place a hold on books, I don't even have to waste time perusing the shelves.  My new best friend, the Library Elf, texts me when my on hold books are ready for pickup.  He is also kind enough to remind me when books are due, saving me from $0.25 a day in late fees.

Also, enitre library CD catalog can now be downloaded from their website in MP3 version.  There is a maximum of 10 songs per week, but I was able to download an entire Wood Brothers album.  Free music=win!

3.  Claim Your Journey

Reading the blog daily is a constant source of inspiration, running tips, and recipes. Just yesterday morning, I used this recipe  to make baked eggs in whole roasted tomatoes.  Yum!  

I tried to put 2 eggs in my tomato, but they didn't fit. 

Can we please start Sunday Runday in Lake Charles?  I'll bring the watermelon!


4.  This dress I bought from Target.

I wore it for church Sunday and again to work on Monday.  Yes, two days in a row and I'm not ashamed.  It is so comfortable and bright!  At first I was unsure about the high low trend, but now I'm on board.


5. Eggplant are finally in! 

Babaganoush is on the menu.  It will make a great poolside snack with fresh veggies for dipping.


6.  You!  Thanks for reading my little ol' blog!  


How do you feel about the high-low skirt trend?  What else can I julienne? I'm obsesssed!  What are you loving?

What I __________ Wednesday, Vol. 21

What I Want the Easter Bunny to Bring Me Wednesday

A Run Louisiana shirt from Claim Your Journey.  If you are a runner from Louisiana, you should be keeping up with this website.  It's an amazing resource and promotion for running in our great state. I'm so excited the CYJ tour is stopping in Lake Charles for the Contraband 5-miler. 

A BicBand headband.  So many other bloggers swear  by them and claim they don't slip.  I really love the sparkly ones, but I might get some eye rolls at the box.

 This adorable monogrammed hat would be perfect for sipping mint juleps by the pool.  It would be a great replacement for my lost hat.  The only problem is, I'm not sure it would fit my freakishly large head.

All the color combo's are adorable, so it would be hard to choose, but I think I would go with black trim and hot pink monogramming.

A gold watch to layer with stacks of gold bracelets.  Nothing fancy or expensive, just gold and oversized without any rhinestones.

PB2, because like the BicBands, I have seen it all over blog world and want to try it out.  Peanut butter flavor with 85% less fat...yes, please!

And because no Easter basket is complete without candy, a white chocolate bunny and a caramel and chocolate covered apple.


What do you want the Easter bunny to leave in your basket?
